Premiering in October 2007, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is the 11th and latest Gundam TV series. Directed by Seiji Mizushima (Fullmetal Alchemist, Dai-Guard), the series is set in 2307 AD, using the real world Anno Domini calendar rather than a fictional one. In this future setting, the world is divided between three great superpowers, and a delicate balance of power is maintained with the orbital elevators that each superpower possesses. War is still common, and the private military group Celestial Being seeks to eradicate wars through the armed intervention of Gundam mobile suits. Protagonist Setsuna F. Seiei is a member of Celestial Being and pilots the Gundam Exia as one of its "Gundam Meisters." The second season jumps forward five years to 2312 AD, where Celestial Being rises from the ashes to confront the oppression of the Earth Sphere Federation's A-LAWS task force. Other staff include character designer Yun Kouga (Loveless), writer Yousuke Kuroda (Excel Saga, Dual!) and mechanical designers Kanetake Ebikawa (Full Metal Panic!, Strain) and Takayuki Yanase (Zegapain, Toward the Terra). The series has aired in the United States on the Syfy Channel and is available on DVD. Like Gundam SEED, the series has also been condensed into a "Special Edition" compilation, although the compilation films have not been released in the U.S. A feature film sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie -A wakening of the Trailblazer-, will be released in Japan in September 2010.
