Gundam Discussion - Twilight Axis

[Souj]

I'll take another series like 8th MS Team, please.

[Mots]

Man, they could do the entire lead up to the Battle of Loam and I would be so happy. There are so many Zeon aces that could have their own show.

For that matter I would watch a full on drama in the UC universe with no gundams what so ever if it was about the days leading up too the colonies being made and stuff. UC is the superior universe here.

GOD

DAMN

IT

PLEASE BE A TROLL






So it's a game and not a series? Or both? Better come out in full Monday if this isn't a shop or something.

Seems to be multiple projects going on and this game version kinda leaked the anime announcement?

[Souj]

Horrible character design either way.

[richardd]

Horrible character design either way.

aww, its not that bad lol











ok yes it is

[Edelweiss]

It's a troll in the same way the Battlefield 0081 hype announcements were.

Holy shit post-OYW Gundam.. it's UC 0081. Then it was announced it was a PS3 game and mass disappointment ensued.

Except it wasn't this terrible.

Also, last image: some fucking Maxter Gundam influences there.

[Tymon]

I don't care if it's a game.

Better not be a series.

[Edelweiss]

After looking at this again.. this seems like they made a TV series out of Gunpla Builders.

[Akiyama]

Oh my god. Yeah, fuck this. Not watching.

[Ker]

Pretty Hilarius. I totally didn't expect this.

Ann got the info if anyone cares.

Level 5 to Help Create Gundam AGE Anime This Fall

The July issue of Shogakukan's Corocoro Comic magazine is announcing next Wednesday that the game developer Level 5 (Inazuma Eleven, Danbōru Senki) is working on all aspects of the new Gundam AGE anime for release this fall. In particular, Level 5 President Akihiro Hino is in charge of the story. There will also be a Gundam AGE manga running in the magazine.

The new series will have three generations of "father, child, and descendant" as the lead characters. The main characters pilot the Gundam unit to fight against an unknown attacking enemy (UE) and save Earth in a "One Hundred Year War" — an apparent homage to the One Year War of the first Gundam series.

The first main character is Furitto Asuno, who developed the Gundam AGE-1 mobile suit (humanoid mobile weapon) equipped with the AGE System (a self-adapting computer). The second main character is Asemu Asuno, Furitto's child. The third main character is Kio Asuno, Furitto's descendant who inherits the Gundam. The Gundam AGE-1 can be augmented as the Gundam AGE-1 Titus for more power, or as the Gundam AGE-1 Sparrow for more speed.

Other characters include Emily, Furitto's friend since he was 7. Guruudekku is a Commander in the Earth Federation Forces and the captain of the battleship Diva. Mireesu is a Lieutenant (junior grade) in the Federation Forces aboard the Diva.

Tied into the anime will be "four ultimate projects" in the works: manga, hobby (model kits and figures), games, and cards.

After looking at this again.. this seems like they made a TV series out of Gunpla Builders.

I liked Gunpla Builders. Seeing Hi-Nu animated non-game form was nice.

New Gundam Anime - GUNDAM AGE to Air this Fall Revealed!

Last week, it has been confirmed that there will be a new Gundam anime project that will be revealed this June 13th at a live event. Prior to the announcement, new information had been leaked revealing the new series will be called GUNDAM AGE.

The new series will have three generations of "father, child, and descendant" as the lead characters. The main characters pilot the Gundam unit to fight against an unknown attacking enemy (UE) and save Earth in a "One Hundred Year War" — an apparent homage to the One Year War of the first Gundam series.

The Gundam AGE-1 mobile suit equipped with the AGE System, or a self-adapting computer, will be the main unit this season developed by Furitto Asuno. Other main characters include Asemu Asuno, Furitto's child and Kio Asuno, Furitto's descendant who inherits the Gundam. The Gundam AGE-1 can be augmented as the Gundam AGE-1 Titus for more power, or as the Gundam AGE-1 Sparrow for more speed.

Other characters include Emily, Furitto's friend since he was 7; Guruudekku, a Commander in the Earth Federation Forces and the captain of the battleship Diva; and, Mireesu, a Lieutenant (junior grade) in the Federation Forces aboard the Diva.

The proper announcement would be made through the July issue of Shogakukan's Corocoro Comic magazine. Game developer Level 5 (Inazuma Eleven, Cardboard War Chronicle) is working on all aspects especially Level 5 President Akihiro Hino who will be in charge of the story.

The new Gundam AGE anime series is scheduled to air this fall.

TOMOPOP has posted a scan of the vanilla Gundam AGE-1, Sparrow, and Titus.

I doubt many particularly care about this series as it stands now, myself included. Just threw this out there, so we have an idea of the model kit proportions versus the lineart.

Since this wasn't posted yet, and it's likely relevant to many people who check this thread/or more likely care about Gundam in any capacity:

Spoiler: show

Interview at Shizuoka Hobby Show 2011 regarding future Gunpla releases

Q: Will the V2 voted #1 in the MG survey come out this year?
A: It may seem like the technology for V2 MG is there, but they are not fully ready yet. they don't want to come out with a product that they will regret, so we should not see the V2 MG at least this year.

Q: What are we going to see in the future of HGUC?
A: The 0083 Federation lineup in HGUC is pretty complete now and we will also have the Zeon suits coming. The Dra-C appeared in the Unicorn anime could also be made. Dreissen and GMIII related suits in Unicorn could also be available later.

Q: At this time how come there are less MG coming out?
A: During the current economy down turn the MGs are fairly expensive, so even if we come out with more MGs there is going to be people that can't follow them. Whether or not HG will past the 2000 Yen average price also depends on the current economy.

There are no MG for July because we have a lot of products coming out, so there's a lot of issue we have to deal with the development not just Gunpla. We also don't want it to overlap with the release of the RG too much.

Q: Isn't 2011 the 15th anniversary for Gundam X?
A: "I'm afraid we won't have time this year", we came out with a lot products last year including HGFC G Gundam related products and based on sale last year we will focus on the G series this year. The HGAW Gundam X did not do so bad either and will be in our plan. We will have the G Gundam for HG and W Gundam for MGs because of the manga. It will be tough for us to bring out any Gundam X kit this year, but once the G and W comes to a close we will very likely to start with the X line.

Q: There are PG release every year recently, will there be a PG this year?
A: We might and might not, at this moment i cannot tell you.

Q: Will there be a PG Unicorn?
A: Say if we set the issue is with the price, the Psycho Frame will probably have the glowing gimmick similar to the "1/700 Tokyo Sky Tree". In order to make the articulation and transformation gimmick perfectly it will probably drive the price pretty high.

All the recent PG release are pretty popular because of their anime. People also can't wait for a PG Unicorn, but if we say that there will be one it might lessen the interest and anticipation. The fans of Gundam UC are of a higher age group and we believe they can also afford the higher price. It's not the time for us to take risk from now on and we hope we can have it out before the tax goes up.

Q: Will there be a MG Delta Gundam?
A: Right now i can only say there is no plan. as for the MG Delta plus in August, the "Hyaku-Shiki 2.0" and "Delta Gundam" could be ideas that's worth paying attention to. If there is a Hyaku-Shiki 2.0, the Delta Gundam is also a possibility. We have a MG Hyaku-Shiki next to the MG Delta plus in the display, maybe the Hyaku-Shiki 2.0 is in the works?

A: What about a MG Kshatriya?
Q: Even if it's the MG we might have to use metal frame to support the binder because of the size, but right now it's not the time to think about it because the economy is still very tough at the moment.

Another Gundam Project announcement on June 25th.

[Insanecyclone]

Set to air in October.

[Gokulo]

Ugh geez.

[Selamis]

Yeah I'm not sure about this one, looks like it's been animated to appeal to kids based on that clip....just doesn't look all that good imo.

[Souj]

Am I the only one that thought of megaman when you see the fat white guy with he beard and the 2 kids?

and yeah, this looks pretty bad.

[Xajii]

Looks bad, I hope the other announcement redeems it but they're obv not gonna work on two series at once really... it's probably an announcement for the Unicorn movie if it hasn't been said yet

[Greedouw]

Evangelion in mah Gundamz? wtf
