Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru Witch from Mercury

[eXis10z]

Hopefully a direct sequel. 00 is one of the better G series.

I kind of doubt it but I wonder if this and the Gundam 00 continuation tease are referring to the same thing.

this is separate item from the 00 announcement.

given the names, i would expect something from U.C.

i would be so happy if it's Crossbone

 

[anime52k8]

Crossbone always struck me as something better suited to being an OVA/ONA than a full length series.

Personally I want a GoL or Frozen teardrop adaptation if we're going to throw out unlikely hopes and dreams.

How is the new Series? Is it worth watching?

livestream will be announcing a new Gundam series on April 20th. Guests expected to appear are Daisuke Namikawa, Masaru Hamaguchi, Harutoshi Fukui, Naohiro Ogata, and Yasuo Miyagawa 

I want another OVA (or something like that). I like them better than a full series. *Rolls eyes at Gundam 00 teaser*

Not to derail the thread too much, but I finally decided to watch Gundam Thunderbolt December Sky in full and I actually really liked it. I forget what the general consensus on Thunderbolt was but I personally didn't like it when the episodes were airing. I think what made the movie work for me was the dub; I tried to watch the individual episodes with subs but watched the full movie with the English dub and the characters were so much more bearable to me in English.

Tried looking for this, but failed in my quick search. Is this streaming or only in blu-ray?

Thanks for the tantalizing news!  Something to look out for on friday!

I thought Thunderbolt was well done. Between IBO and Thunderbolt it was a nice departure from the series with pilots that don't kill with machines of war. I have been reading the manga as they come out and the first part sticks very true to the manga. During the music parts the anime works better. I am definitely getting the Bandit's Flower when it is released state side. 

Any sequels to Gundam 00 and IBO are always welcomed, along with Gundam Wing. It would be a nice remake of Gundam Wing to do the GoL and Frozen Teardrop. that would be so awesome to see, as long as they do not CG suits. It throws off the aesthetic when you drawn animation for everything except the mobile suits.   

The Exia R4 is cool expect for the naked arm, that doesn't make alot of sense unless armor or bits are added to it later. I would love to see an Exia Full Saber version, that would be awesome to see in action.

Good price for a blu-ray. Not sure about streaming. Crunchyroll does not have it, hulu might.

Is Unicorn gundam getting an Endless Walts treatment?

[Big s]

That’s an odd one to have a sequel. It had one of the biggest let down ending, but at least it looked great and was one of the few recent gundam series to have a like able main character.

Haha someone kit-bashed and came up with the idea perhaps...

Is bandai saving money by now just giving us inner frame kits with some armor slapped on?? 

 

Gustav karl??

[electric indigo]

Maybe they'll pick up IBO's concept of upgrading the main MS over the series, and selling x5 more kits.

[anime52k8]

oh boy, where's that bandai milking the unicorn gundam cartoon when you need it.

ah i guess i'm glad it's back to U.C.  

[dizman]

What a coincidence, the exposed frame parts on the new Gundam design look just like an HG models inner frame parts with no detail whatsoever.

Yeah i was waiting for a kit release of it, but never materialized. With these new series, probabilities increase!

Yea bummer it wasn't crossbone. 

Oh well, it's what sells bucket loads that is bandai's priority...

Did Gundam Unicorn really need a sequel?

I mean, its plot was pretty self-contained and all and didn't really impact the greater Universal Century any...

[seti88]

Well.....ROI on each gundam series must be xxx,xxx,xxx...so.....

True. I don't think it needs a sequel. But is this a direct sequel since I didn't see any old characters from what Gwyn posted on his tweeter feeds?

I rather wish they do Hathaway's Flash instead.

You might get your wish, rumor is that Hathaway's Flash will get a 3 movie series starting 2019.

I feel like we can get some indecent exposure jokes out of that...

Still, that story was kind of a downer even by Universal Century standards, what with Bright having to execute his own son...

I agree. And how I really feel bad about Bright. Like with all the things he's done and sacrificed. It still ended with tragic. 

 

[dizman]

I wouldn't be surprised if they change the ending, like Bright calling to stop the execution at the last moment. Tomino probably wouldn't be too happy about it though.

[lechuck]

Not sure what to think of this sequel, but more Universal Century Gundam is always welcomed.

GunPla-wise though I am not that enthused about the possibility of even more RX-0 Gundam kits.

Anyway here is a short trailer:

I feel bad for Bright but at the same time Hathaway is a piece of crap and deserves it.

We had one of those... 

Well, more like two...

Maybe three if you count the original concept for the SDF-1, which was a White Base knockoff that turned into a giant Gundam...

Yeah Hathaway is up there with Katz as terrible characters who deserve what they get. Course it takes a few years for Hathaway to get his.

I dunno, maybe we should ask Chan Agi about that......
