At Comic Con International, Bandai Entertainment announced two new acquisitions Tales of the Abyss and Turn A Gundam.
 
Tales of the Abyss is based on the video game of the same name from Namco Bandai Games. The 26 episode anime from Sunrise has fantasy elements and tells the story of Luke Fon Fabre, who after seven years of captivity, is suddenly dragged into the center of a massive conflict.
 
Turn A Gundam, a 50 episode series, was written and directed by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino and features mecha designs by conceptual designer Syd Mead (Blade Runner.) The series was made to mark Gundam’s 20th anniversary in Japan in 1999.
 
Bandai Entertainment also announced the acquisition of a new manga, Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens, from manga-ka Eri Takenashi. It is the manga that inspired the anime series already being released by Bandai Entertainment and Aniplex. The manga tells the story of Nagi, a goddess who is accidentally awakened with a mission to cleanse the world of impurities.
 
Release dates and further details will be announced soon.

I've heard from a number of sources that "Turn-A-Gundam" is the worst '90s Gundam spin-off since "G-Gundam". Anyone think otherwise?

As for Kannagi, uh... yay for more poorly translated manga?

The worst? Hardly. Many fans consider it one of the best Gundam shows, actually. The unorthodox mecha designs don't sit well with some people (the show's premise is pretty out-of-the-ordinary for Gundam, too), but that's not really something to judge the whole show by.

That's some great news, hope they won't wait too long with licensing ZZ, Victory and Gundam X as well!
