ABOUT GUNDAM NT

The latest work in the “Universal Century” series telling the story after the events of “Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn”! Blu-ray release of the mega-hit movie, filled with fabulous bonus items! Is it destruction, or life eternal?

Synopsis: U.C. 0097…

One year has passed since the contents of Laplace’s Box were revealed to the world at the end of the conflict called the “Laplace Incident.” Despite the revelation of the Universal Century Charter that acknowledges the existence and rights of Newtypes, the framework of the world has not been greatly altered.

Meanwhile, the Neo Zeon remnants known as the Sleeves have temporarily collapsed after the Laplace Incident, and their activities are at a standstill. And the two Unicorn Gundams, the mobile suits that played a leading role in the conflict, have been deemed dangerous and secretly sealed away because they displayed power beyond human understanding.

However, the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03, which disappeared two years earlier and was erased from history, has shown itself in the Earth Sphere once more. This machine called “Phenex” is the focus of many people’s renewed activity. As well as the Earth Federation Forces and the Sleeves, Luio & Co, a huge corporation with strong connections to Anaheim Electronics, is involved in the struggle for the Phenex. As Luio & Co. deploys the new mobile suit Narrative Gundam, what is its true objective…?

Want to sample some of the film? How about the first 23 minutes? Not even joking. The first 23 minutes have been made available to preview! Check it out below. (You activate can activate the English subtitles within the video player itself.)

HOW DO PRE-ORDERS FOR THIS PRODUCT WORK?

Well first of all we need to stress that this is not an AllTheAnime / Anime Ltd. product.

This is a Bandai Visual product from Japan that will be shipped once stock arrives at our office in Glasgow, UK. (Expected to be late May / Early June 2019.)

This is a pre-order scheme in conjunction with Bandai Visual that allows fans in the UK., Ireland and Scandinavia the chance to pre-order this product knowing it will be shipped by us in the U.K once stock has arrived. Each item ordered will also be shipped by the courier service UPS – this cost is already included in the price you pay at our online shop. So you’ll be able to keep track of its delivery progress too once it’s shipped.

Important things to note –

• As we’ve said already but we need to reiterate, this is not an AllTheAnime / Anime Ltd. product. This is a Bandai Visual release from Japan.
• This is a Japanese product. Though the main feature itself will include the English language dub and English subtitles to accompany the original Japanese audio, any additional features on the disc itself and/or the physical items included in the package itself will be in Japanese only.
• The cost to order this is £79.99, and the full cost must be paid immediately when placing the order. (We do not have the facility to take delayed payments.)
• This price includes it being shipped to customers via the courier service UPS. (We will not ship the product any other way.) However for any orders outside the UK, there will be an additional shipping cost added to this as well.
• Deadline to pre-order this is 5pm (UK) Monday 8th April 2019. Once this date has passed we will no longer be taking any pre-orders for this product.
• Once stock has been delivered to our HQ – expected to be in late May / early June 2019 – we’ll get them shipped as soon as possible to everyone who has pre-ordered it!
• Though unlikely, should any additional stock be available once orders have been fulfilled and delivered, these will be listed on our AllTheAnime.com online shop accordingly on a first-come first-served basis.
