Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans was an interesting series as it brought a more grounded and war-torn take on the Gundam anime franchise (compared to the space battles found in the series before), and now the second season will soon be available for purchase.

Funimation has announced that the second season is now available for pre-order, and interested fans should definitely check it out.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans' second season is split into two parts for the home video release. Part One includes episodes 26-38, and Part Two includes 39-50. Each release retails for $64.99 USD, but fans who pre-order now (which you can do by following this link here) can receive each release for a discounted price.

Each release will include both the English dub and native Japanese language, but for those unaware of what's to come in the second season, Funimation describes Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Season 2 Part One as such:

"After the escort of Kudelia Aina Bernstein led to deadly battles, the Tekkadan organization began to rise, with Mikazuki Augus taking part. While many lives were lost, the conflict exposed the corruption of Gjallarhorn, helping the world slowly change. But as Tekkadan gained the rights to halfmetal, they began to attract attention from a new enemy—one they'll face with the Gundam Barbatos Lupus!"

Mobile Suit Gundam has one dedicated fan base, as one fan even calculated what kind of power the mechas would yield in real life. Taking one of the most oft-ignored mechs in the series, that fans wouldn't consider too powerful, they calculated an incredible range that would surely do damage in the real world.

Financial magazine Weekly Toyo Keizai commissioned the 70 year old character designer forMobile Suit Gundam, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, to draw their cover for their 2018 financial forecast issue.The cover depicts President of the United States Donald Trump partying for the new year with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The most damning, however, is the depiction of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, who sits on top of a nuclear missile in-between all of them.

The newest project, Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative, is part of the "UC NexT 0100 Project," which will tackle the events of the Universal Century storyline following the likes of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series and Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. And is currently scheduled for a release in Japanese theaters later this year.
