The official website for the Mobile Suit Gundam UC anime series announced on Monday that the sixth episode, "Sora to Hoshi to [Uchū to Chikyū to]" (Space, Earth, and…), will open in 16 theaters in Japan on March 2, 2013. It will have four more theaters than the previous episodes had.

The 16 theaters will sell exclusive theater editions of the episode's Blu-ray Disc, while regular stores will begin offering the Blu-ray and DVD on March 22. Both the exclusive theater edition and the limited first edition at retail will have a special 110-minute bonus Blu-ray Disc with the entire "Film & Live 2012" event from May 13, as well as an "episode 6 making & interview video."

The sixth episode was to have been the final one, but the "Film & Live 2012" event revealed that there will be a seventh one "in the near future."
