Watch The Worlds of MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM and HELLO KITTY Collide in Epic Crossover Series
Well, here’s a crossover event series that I never in a million years thought I would ever see. The worlds of Mobile Suit Gundam and Hello Kitty will collide in an animated event miniseries called Gundam Vs. Hello Kitty.
This is part of a way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam and the 45th anniversary of Hello Kitty and it looks like it will be a ton of fun! It’s explained by CrunchyRoll that this is a "showdown project" that pits both franchises against one another online and in real life.
Although the full details of "Gundam vs. Hello Kitty" have not yet been revealed, it is known that the project involves a LINE campaign where fans can vote for their favorite characters from each franchise and earn prizes, real-life promotions with restaurants and retail stores featuring this new rivalry, a "real mystery solving game" sponsored by SCRAP that is scheduled for Summer of 2019, and an animated preview video in which Kitty and the Gundam crew meet.
Part of the promotion will also include a series of animated shorts, the first of which you can see below.
