Tochiro Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Does anyone else remembering having their hopes and dreams shattered by the shambling mess of a movie that was GUNHED? Well, There was a limited exhibition for the movie held in Akihabara last weekend. Unlike most exhibits in Japan, photos were allowed at this one, so I went all out. Of course, one of the best pieces of art in the exhibit was by Hidetaka Tenjin Hope these don't bring back too many bad memories Edited February 4, 2013 by azrael Quote
Gubaba Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 There's a new book, too."Gunhed Perfection" (we should HOPE for so much...)http://www.amazon.co.jp/ガンヘッド-パーフェクション-Dengeki-hobby-books/dp/4048913123 Quote
Shaorin Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) my own GUNHED LEGO model (in rough 1/35) i built some years back; (yes, it's transformable) Edited February 4, 2013 by Shaorin Quote
EXO Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 It hurts but there's always the manga. If you really think about it... Gunhed was there to prepare you for all the disappointments of Manga/Anime>Live action film expectations. So it was still ahead of the curve! Tenjin art rules! Quote
Tober Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 There's a new book, too. "Gunhed Perfection" (we should HOPE for so much...) http://www.amazon.co.jp/ガンヘッド-パーフェクション-Dengeki-hobby-books/dp/4048913123 I got that book. There's a two-page interview with Kawamori in it. A reasonable amount of concept artwork too. The movie was a mess, but I liked it. Seeing as I hadn't read the whole manga, just a bit in Newtype, I didn't have any expectations of what to expect. Thanks a lot for the pics, Tochiro. Cool LEGO model, Shaorin. Quote
Vifam7 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Despite many of the shots being poorly lit and composed, I liked the movie. The manga by Kia Asamiya is better (and I particularly like it for the fact that this was when Kia Asamiya was still drawing by hand). Quote
Beltane70 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I'm trying to remember which actually came first, the movie or the manga. I think the manga was adapted from the movie, but I'm not 100% sure. The manga's version of Aerobot was definitely much better looking than its movie counterpart. Quote
Jefuemon Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 This is all I know about Gunhed. and yes, this is an original video made by the band, not a fan-vid. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I'm trying to remember which actually came first, the movie or the manga. I think the manga was adapted from the movie, but I'm not 100% sure. The manga's version of Aerobot was definitely much better looking than its movie counterpart. the movie originated as a script for a follow up to the 1984 Return of Godzilla film. Toho at the time held a story contest to decide the plot of the next film. What would eventually be turned into Gunhed lost to the Godzilla vs Biolante script. Quote
CAIN MKII Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Whoa thank you for all those cool photos. I've never seen the movie but the artbook was my very first one. I wonder what's inside the new book, is it a re-release of the first edition? Quote
