Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino will be lending his talents to the new Gundam series.
The new Gundam series Bandai was teasing earlier in the week has been revealed through a leak from Coro Coro Comics to be "Gundam Age."
Why is a new Gundam series appearing in a manga magazine? Bandai is making a huge media mix affair out of Gundam Age, with a manga, anime, hobby, card and game component, and Coro Coro is intimately involved.
But Coro Coro isn't the only unexpected participant. The magazine reveals that Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino is handling the story. Level-5 and Coro Coro are working together closely on the project. The two firms have, of course, worked together in the past on the manga versions of Inazuma Eleven and Danbol Senki/Little Battle Experience.
It's unclear if Level-5 has anything to with the game side of the Gundam Age project. Regarding the game, the magazine says that players will take on the role of the Age main character and will fight in a one-hundred year war.
Official announcement of Gundam Age is scheduled for the 13th, so we should get official info soon. For details on how to watch the announcement event, see this story.

You don't need to be scared about it unless they pull something like Ushiro (which I believe has been reincarnated into Time Traveller). Danbooru Senki has been pretty much kept silence since its reveal until last year too.

You're over-exaggerating. Hino is NOT credited as the writer for Inazuma Eleven/Danbooru Senki so I don't know where you get your info. Remember that Hino wrote the story for Professor Layton and some other well-reviewed and well-received titles so he has a good pedigree.
Now that I calmed down... I check Japanese Wiki regarding him. His role in Layton series is only as a producer while in Inazuma Eleven series, he is the scenario writer and producer. And he's in charge of the original story of the anime of Danbooru Senki and Inazuma Eleven too.

There was a lot of info and demo on it only very recently. Obviously you're not going to get daily or weekly coverage as it won't be released until late 2011 or 2012 at the earliest.

Our only hope now is Gundam Unicorn. The main series of Gundam is now tainted by Hino. Expect a story like Inazuma Eleven/Danbooru Senki with multiple form of Gundam ripped from Ultraman Tiga/Dyna and the nuance of Yuusha series.
Ugh, I'd better stop posting about this new series before I calmed down...
