Keroro Gunso and Gundam Reveal First Official Collaboration
After 22 years of Gundam parodies in the series, the two franchises have finally produced a joint project with direct involvement from both creators.
Reporting from 1 sources: Anime Anime.
Ahead of the first new Keroro Gunso film in 16 years, the franchise has announced its first official collaboration with Mobile Suit Gundam. Footage shows Gundam appearing to help the Keroro Platoon, and new illustrations by Mine Yoshizaki and Yoshikazu Yasuhiko have been released. Collaboration plastic models will also be sold.
The collaboration footage shows the Keroro Platoon overwhelmed by a mysterious invader before Gundam appears to help. A red mobile suit, Char's Zaku, then blocks their path. Mine Yoshizaki's illustration homages the original Gundam theatrical trilogy, while Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's piece depicts Amuro, Char, and Keroro with arms linked.
Two plastic models will launch on June 26: the Keroro Robo Mk-II in Titans colors and the Gundam Mk-II in Keroro specifications. Theater merchandise including pamphlets and stickers will also be available at screening venues from the film's release date.
- Keroro Robo Mk-II (Titans Color): 2,200 yen, releases June 26
- RG 1/144 RX-178 Gundam Mk-II (Keroro Specification): release date not specified
