I wish they'd go Z route. It was probably my favorite one next to OG.
Not all of it is going to be remade. And it's not like watching the original trilogy is going to take much time.
They did,why do you think gbf, main gundam was strike..
also look up cross ange, cross ange had better ratings and bd sales than any of the recent gundams, hell they made a shitty vita game that sold decently.
Series is going to release the final volume, 12, in December. 10 is the one that just came out.
There are many extra features the hardcover versions Vertical brought over have over the traditional releases. They have larger page sizes, tons of extra color pages and each volume comes with a special essay and/or art from either someone involved in Gundam or was inspired by it. The first volume came with an essay by Hideaki Anno (Evangelion) for instance and the most recent one has an autobiographical short manga by Kazuhiro Fujita (Ushio and Tora creator). They tend to be pretty short extras (somewhere like 2-15 pages), but I've mostly found them really interesting.
All that in addition to just having really nice print quality makes The Origin set probably the nicest manga release I've seen here.

I'm no expert, but I liked 080 War in the Pocket and The 08th MS Team.
This is looking more averaged proportioned than I thought, by Gundam standards that is.
Everything else in the Universal Century. Although, it's a damn shame you watched Unicorn already.

It was, but it wasn't.
The things that made SEED popular, the friendship stuff with Athrun (who was Char, but not really, I mean Athrun and his relation to Kira took influence from 0079 Char -> Zeta Char, but it still felt pretty unique and when Athrun joined TEAM.GOOD.GUYS with the reach out hand grab from Kira on the space shuttle launch rail it had a lot of umph), the melodrama like Fllay sex antics, Lacus and Bart Ship Captains (Bart obviously is Rhomba, but having him come back on TEAM.GOOD.GUYS was super satisfying) and the incredible music and great battles, great mech designs & upgrades all had 0079 influences but SEED's still its own thing and it worked.
Actually the more I think about it, I think one of the reasons SEED just felt so satisfying by the endgame battles is that every likeable character ended up joining TEAM.GOOD.GUYS and saying "fuck both sides, we're gonna wreck shit in the name of FREEDOM & JUSTICE" and then they jump out with super crazy meteor dendrobiums and giant laser swords and it kind of hits all the right notes to make everything really satisfying in the end based on all that the show built up. I mean even Deacca joined up on team good guys and got the hookup going on because he was a character the audience liked. The last 5 eps of SEED are all about satisfying the audience and that leaves a great impression of a series to go out on a note like that.
I think these days a lot of entertainment focuses too much on shitty things happening all the time and then barely overcoming and winning in the end. Having more things go right like the last 1/3rd of SEED (even Fllay who the audience hates gets to be blown away! +1 and then used as an awesome transformation scene with amazing music for Kira to find his way and become FINAL UPGRADE MODE KIRA +2) is a nice thing I'd like to see again in Gundam.
Tetsuro Araki is currently still with WIT Studio, he's directing Kotetsujo no Kabaneri for noitaminA right now, with Okouchi writing. He will also be directing Attack on Titan S2 after that. I think there is zero chance that he has another project going on right now. He's not the sort of director who works on too many different shows at the same time.
Don't know about bolded thing tbh, probably gonna suspend the thought if knew.. I thought he only had Titan S2 for his upcoming show...
Good riddance I guess lol

Super weird looking down angle.
I need to see this thing on a level plane before I can truly assess its proportions.
Who said there'd be models? At the current rate, this will reach RG status by 2018.

Looking forward to seeing G-Tekketsu Duckroll custom.

Mid-section and shoulders look like they're missing parts, hopefully?
Looks good though, I like the v-fin.

Looks like I'm late to the party.
That is one big damn head crest. Don't know how the real head would look like since the one right now is at a top-down angle but I'm satisfied with what I imagine it would be.
The torso this time has minimum red lol. But there's still the missing belly part.

For the love of God, get someone who knows how to do cinematography. I couldn't tell what the fuck was happening half the time in G Reco. And get someone that can make a comprehensible story. I couldn't tell what the fuck was happening the other half of the time in G Reco.
I thought that I could follow Reconguista battles pretty good.
As for the comprehensible story bit - it wouldn't be Gundam if the story made sense. Bring on time traveling New-Type alien children that connect with gundam software at the speed of light any day of the week!

You need a huge head crest if you want to shoot laser beam off it. ;D

So it's going to be inhabited by the ghost of the pilots mother and constantly mind fuck him?

It'll be the first Gundam to kick logic to the curb and do the impossible.

Looking good. Like people have said, it definitely has a bull like face.

Looking forward to you breaking one of the pieces so I can make fun of you later.
You know, I think this is one of the things I quite liked about SEED. Despite the flaws, it was actually pretty nice to see characters coming to their own conclusions instead of blindly following the side their on and eventually all joining together to stop both sides. I remember really liking when Dearka pulled a save on the Archangel for instance. Even Yzak sort of came around to a small degree by the end.
This is definitely something I've noticed a lot and it's bugged me in a lot of instances. Seeing characters actually take a moment to talk things out was actually surprising to see in hindsight.
I think that's possibly one of the things that Destiny screwed up on since Shinn refused to do so until the very end.
Hmm, I like it overall. The rounded shoulders is a nice look and gives it a bit of a bulkier appearance. Not sure what is going on in the back though. Looks like some sort of pack maybe like a core fighter?

It's actually more logical for them to be weapons instead of useless head ornament.
Easily one of the most badass Gundam designs I have ever seen.

I hope the pilot is hot blooded, the mech design really feels like it.

not impressed.
My guess/hope is the top half is being lowered on to the bottom.

With the size and design of that fin it should be it's own core fighter.
I think the torso is still missing the bottom half (belly) - it looks a bit short to put on top the lower body as-is.
its like RG Exia cheeks x 10 difficulty. get ya tweezas ready

That ab torso area is so weird, like 3 hydraulics keep the whole thing up? I'm hoping that this maybe is just a in hangar like preview and that it actually closes up or comes down instead of having a center that looks like it could snap in half. The attached cables kinda make it look like this is in dock or not complete pic of the suit.
