Gundam Build Fighters Try Island Wars Special Now Streaming on GundamInfo

The official Mobile Suit Gundam Youtube Channel, known as GundamInfo, is now streaming the TV Special Gundam Build Fighters Try Island Wars; an animated feature which acts as a sequel to Gundam Build Fighters Try.

This animated special, which clocks in at 37 minutes, is presented in Japanese with English subtitles and can be viewed in 720p High Definition which may not sound impressive but most videos on the channel are uploaded in Standard Definition (most likely so that it can help promote the Japanese Blu-ray release).

Gundam Reconguista in G To Be Released as a Complete Series Blu-ray

When Anime Limited first announced the release of Gundam Reconguista in G, otherwise known as Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam Reconguista in G, many retailers incorrectly listed the product as a Complete Series collection and since then it has never been amended (despite the distributor claiming that it would be released in two parts). Well as part of yesterday’s newswire the distributor revealed that it will now be able to release Gundam Reconguista in G as a Complete Series Blu-ray set and better yet it will receive that ‘special’ treatment like previous Mobile Suit Gundam releases.
