Both Gundam. Point was we can't read Japanese thus their wiki is pointless. Ha.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gundam_manga_and_novels
seriously wiki articles have a buttin to switch language on them, nearly all have English.

Still... first impressions: Looks for a younger audience as previously mentioned. Maybe they're trying to go down the G Fighter route again... less serious this time around.

Was thinking more SD Gundam, this is aiming very, very young Corocoro is kodomo, not shounen. It's also not being made by Sunrise but by level 5, so I'd say ignore it totaly.
 
It's close, not sure why the English one specifies "Manga and Novels", the Japanese one divides it up far more clearly and includes info on the TV series/movie version of whichever part of the franchise they're talking about.
 
Lots of additional information has just been released following Sunrise/Bandai's streaming press conference. Rather then list it all out probably easier to visit Gundam Guy's blog to read all the details.

They really are pushing for the kids market here it would seem with regards to some of the newer products like the gunpla that do not need tools (sort of like a continuation of the defunct first grade line) and the figures with chips that all the kids can play with at their local shop/arcades. Still older fans have not been forgotten, we will still get HG Gundam AGE models and the promise of MG models from the series in the future. The idea of the RPG made by Level 5 based on the series also really intrigues me, assuming it would see a Western release.

Here is the trailer anyway for the anime. I think i will be giving it a go.

If Level 5 make a proper RPG out of this, it will have been worth something. If they make essentially a new version of Inazuma Eleven (hey, I liked the first game a whole bunch, but let's not pretend it's anything more than it is at this point) but with Gundam pilots... not so much.
