The Gundam 30th anniversary is getting some pretty big fan fare. There's of course the giant Gundam standing over Tokyo, a new anime series in the form of Gundam UC coming this winter, and now a new album by Andrew W.K. entitled Gundam Rock. The new album will feature English-language rock covers of past songs from the original 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam series, including both themes and background tracks. The real treat though will come where he will dub the original series' narration and the famous "Sieg Zeon!" speech by Gihren Zabi. As amazing as Andrew W.K. is, I still don't think he can top Gackt's rendition of Gihren's speech, and then getting a group of fan girls to chant "Sieg Zeon." Gundam Rock is set to drop with 16 Gundam covers on September 9th for the price tag of 2500 yen. You can currently preorder the album on CD Japan. In addition, Andrew W.K. will also appear on the Gundam tribute album, I, Senshi, alongside Richie Kotzen, and Gackt. I, Senshi will come out this month on August 21. [Via Anime News Network]

I have to say, Gundam Breaker's core conceit is pretty awesome, and just goes to show how much of a cultural institution Gundam is that its own owners don't bat an eye at acknowledging the fact that most of its hyper self-se...
Namco Bandai's upcoming PS3/Vita action game, Gundam Breaker, is looking pretty damn neat. Rather than just recycle the same Gundam formula for the nth time, the developers are mixing it up a bit.
Literally.
