The director of MS IGLOO is Takashi Imanishi, who previously directed Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, and Yutaka Izubuchi is the supervisor.

[edit] Overview

Taking place during the One Year War in the year Universal Century 0079 (U.C. 0079), MS IGLOO follows the missions of the crew of a former cargo ship and Principality of Zeon battleship, Jotunheim. This ship, like some previous ships related to Gundam anime, is used to test prototype weapons for combat use. However, what distinguish this show from others is that the protagonist of the series, Oliver May, is not a mobile suit pilot, but a technical officer who monitors the weapons testing.

This show is the first to depict some events early in the One Year War that have not been shown in a Gundam anime previously, including Operation British (before the colony hits Earth) and the Battle of Loum. It also features some of the biggest mecha designer names in the industry, including Yutaka Izubachi and Hajime Katoki.

Although it is the first Universal Century Gundam series since Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, which was last released in 1999, MS IGLOO had been a relatively low key project compared with contemporary Gundam series such as Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. The Hidden One Year War has only seen a limited DVD release, though it had been available for rental in Japanese stores starting 2006. Apocalypse 0079 by contrast was given a mass release, and as a result it managed to reach a few Top 5 Anime DVD charts.
