The Gundam Silver Phantom anime is directed by Kenichi Suzuki
As mentioned earlier, the Gundam Silver Phantom will be released on October 3, 2024. The project was announced for the very first time during Anime NYC in November 2023 by Pierre Zandrowicz of Atlas V and Ken Iyadomi of Bandai Namco Filmworks.
According to Zandrowicz, this is not just a production of a video game or a narrative experience, but an "immersive adventure" that will blend both worlds together. It's Sunrise's first adventure with the French company Atlas V to give the Gundam legacy an innovative twist.
The anime is directed by Kenichi Suzuki, who worked on SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors and Gundam Evolve, and Ryoji Sekinishi, known from Mobile Suit Gundam UC, is in charge of the script.
The plot of Gundam Silver Phantom anime
The premise of the Gundam Silver Phantom anime focuses on Argent Keil, a lonely mercenary organization independent of both the Federation and Zeon. The group is commissioned in secret by the Federation Forces to kill Azami Megine, a high-ranking official with ties to Zeon.
Its mission is secretive to stop Azami's treachery from being exposed to the public. Before Argent Keil's forces can begin their mission, they suddenly get ambushed by a Federation Forces' Jegan unit.
Amidst all the confusion, Argent Keil launches their silver Gundam into space, and it is game time—meaning, a tense fight.
