The Japanese industry site AnimeAnime reports that Bandai’s forthcoming Gundam Unicorn anime adaptation will be the first Gundam property to debut around the world simultaneously when it premieres this Winter season.
This follows up similar proclamations about Bandai-Namco’s intent to take the Gundam franchise global earlier this month during the 30th anniversary celebrations when the company stated that it would take steps to make Gundam available for a global audience by making it available in 10 languages.
Bandai has also taken steps to make some of its current franchises available online such as Code Geass, Tamagotchi, and Gundam OO on YouTube as well as a landmark simulcast of last season’s Kurokami: The Animation via premium cable channel ImaginAsian in the US.
