Tons of high pedigree vets working on this. Can't believe Anno is going to write a Gundam series. Debuts in January

 

[kevboard]

not enough Us

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Shoot - this should be in General Discussion, not gaming

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I thought OP was typing on a broken keyboard for a second.

 

[Arsic]

Looks like generic slop.

How far this franchise has fallen.

 

[Mayar]

Jesus, don't they realize how noticeable mediocre 3D graphics looks on 2D backgrounds and 2D characters in high resolution, and most importantly, how it spoils the overall perception of the picture by the eye.

 

[Bojji]

Looks bad.

Last really good Gundam was Iron Blooded Orphans.

Witch from mercury - I thought it was terrible, stopped watching around episode 7 or something.

 

[ShirAhava]

The art direction is my worst nightmare holy hell

It should at least be better than "Witch from Mercury" in terms of story/characters (but thats not really saying a lot)

Where the heck is Hathaway Gundam 2?

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Where the heck is Hathaway Gundam 2?

Allegedly we should hear something before 2028

Agreed. I loved Gundam Wing. Toonami made it hype af too

lol irony. Gundam Wing is about as mediocre middle of the road as you can get for the franchise.

 

[manfestival]

I was actually disappointed that this wasnt a game. Anyways, I mean this looks okay I guess. I suppose I just want more from gundam. Even something generic that isnt trying to have some modern writing where everything is deep or good guy is bad and bad guy is good outside of the the normal implications between zeon/federation

 

[ap_puff]

This is a series and not a game right?

Just gonna say that it's dumb af to have gundam battles in a space colony as a sport, do it on asteroids or some shit where you're not damaging shit

 

[Chechack]

I dont understamd bandai,they have shitload of old Gundam that they can remake in modern graphic and yet they keep choosing to make all this weird things just for the sake of wanting to find "new audience"

And then they can spend shitload of animatuon budget to make this sort of animation inside their Gundam Mobile game

 

[EDMIX]

This actually looks amazing.

The art direction is solid and a step up in the series. The lighting, the way the scenes are framed and layered, this is a level of detail most of the series doesn't seem to have. The animation looks very solid as well and I'm not surprised the director of FLCL is involved as I felt that with the animation.

 

[Jinxed]

Looks bad.

Last really good Gundam was Iron Blooded Orphans.

Witch from mercury - I thought it was terrible, stopped watching around episode 7 or something.

Gundam requiem for vengeance was decent. Me and my son binged it in one weekend

 

[pulicat]

Looks underwhelming similar to Witch from mercury, Iron Blooded Orphan, Seed Freedom, and Gundam Age.

Gundam Hathaway Flash is the finest example of great gundam anime.

now they just sell waifu instead of gundam

 

[Rentahamster]

Cooouuuuuuuuul story bro

 

[IAmRei]

Even if it's anno, i wont see it. I once avid gundam fans, so deep, i can menrion thousand mobile suits since 0079 msv.

I never liked gundam tv series anymore since 00 ended, and gundam yuri whatsoever, nailed the coffin for me. Ugh maybe im just too old. The gundam is ugly, its not like real robot anymore, and looks super robot, ugh ..

 

[mayham2199]

Witch from mercury - I thought it was terrible, stopped watching around episode 7 or something.

My thoughts as well. Couldn’t believe how bad witch of mercury was.

 

[yet_another_alt]

Cooouuuuuuuuul story bro

If I pull that V-fin off, will you die?
It would be extremely painful.
You're big guy.
uuuuuu

 

[Kurimao]

Nice but where's the game?

 

[EDMIX]

Truth, this is a legendary team working on this and seems like a fresh take on Gundam.

I too thought this was related to a game lol

Nice but where's the game?

lolz, we are all trying to figure out why this is here and not in a different section, as this has nothing to do with games.

 

[killatopak]

Excited!

Those are some big names in there.

WRITTEN BY YOJI ENKIDO (FLCL AND UTENA) WITH HIDEKI ANNO
DIRECTED BY KAZUYA TSURUMAKI (FLCL)
CHARACTER DESIGNS BY TAKE (POKEMON SWORD AND SHIELD, SUN AND MOON)
MECHANICAL DESIGNS BY IKUTO YAMASHITA (EVANGELION)

 

[SF Kosmo]

Look at this garbage. It's so busy and the colors are heinous.

 

[yet_another_alt]

I think it looks good. Doesn't look like a Gundam but the design/detail is very reminiscent of the Metal Build Evangelions which is quite impressive since that's an HG.

 

[RSLAEV]

Gundam requiem for vengeance was decent. Me and my son binged it in one weekend

Also Gundam Thunderbolt came out around the same time as IBO and that was good (although I'm not sure I caught all of the episodes)

But yeah this is a definite skip from me-just like the Witch from Mercury.

It actually reminds me of Eureka Seven and not Eva despite the mech designer doing Eva.

 

[Pejo]

I'll admit, I'm not a big Gundam fan, but this seems like Gundam in name only. I'd imagine purists are pretty upset over this, especially after all the Witch from Mercury drama.

Having Anno involved practically guarantees a decent plot, but the art style and characters are pretty awful, in my opinion.

Apparently it's an alternative take on UC, if Char had been successful in stealing the Gundam in the OYW.
