They’re Really speedrunning the pozzing of Japanese media now. We got this, nigger worship Elden Ring, and JackFaggotEye’s Bloodborne abomination to look forward to as well.
Wow, a new movie without Pedro Pascal in it!
Or Zendaya
They're going to make Sydney Sweeney fuck a mech aren't they?
Lol, this will be on the level of ScarJo's Ghost in the Shell movie, with about the same results.
That was eye cancer.
The mainstream didn't care about Gundam, until they mogged on Star Wars with Witch Of Mars, and proved that Lesbian Space Witches could actually sell.
well the anime 'sold' but the kits plateaued instantly.
Too many idiots watching that one piece live action.
Sweeney might not make a half-bad Chara Soon. But fucking no.
Going to watch the anime. I assume it’s based on a Manga?
I don't think so. I believe the original was direct to anime. It was in the era where shows were mostly created to sell toys,
But Smith, I've gotta warn you. It's not an anime. "Gundam" is kind of like Final Fantasy. There's 50+ series, movies, and miniseries, but they're in a dozen different, completely isolated continuities. If you're looking for the classic/main continuity, you're going to want to focus on "Universal Century (UC)" stuff... which is still 20+ entries.
If you're looking for the thing that started it all in '79, the original 43 ep series or the three compilation movies.
Wow. Thanks for the heads up.
Also the original continuity is kind of a fucking mess, and I don't recommend it outside of a handful of specific stories (08th MS Team). In the first twenty seconds they introduce the idea that half of humanity got wiped out in the opening stages of the war, but it's barely a background detail. How long ago did this war start for it to just be glossed over? Fifty years? A hundred? Two hundred?
Nope, it was just a few months ago.
Thanks for the info
Solid recommendation. That and 0080 would be mine. They're both self-contained, relatively grounded, and have some of the best characters and action sequences in the franchise.
That was actually the first anime/manga I ever got into. My brother had it. Been meaning to get into it again
Three times!

Are the fucking mechs going to be live action too? What a stupid thing
Gundam is my favorite franchise and I am not looking forward to this.
But also, I don't believe a live action is real until it is actually out. I've heard this song and dance of a live action Mobile Suit Gundam too many times. They keep showing actors taking parts but no samples of the Gundam unit itself.
Now there is a live action Gundam movie that was a straight to TV thing that aired in Canada. Its called G-Savior. It wasn't the worst thing I have ever saw, but it wasn't very good. I chuckled when the movie reused props from Starship Troopers, mainly the security forces helmets and guns. I'll be fair and do praise that some parts of the script/story had some very Gundam-esque moments though.
The G Savior Gundam itself won't win points for design, I personally like the wide shoulders it got but the main suit doesn't have much unique features, maybe the energy shield but the Victory Gundam has that already. One great thing though is the bad guy suits!!!!! The villain mobile suits I think honestly look fantastic and feel they could of slipped into an Armored Core game as well. Maybe give G-Savior a try as a "so bad it's good" kind of thing. I had some decent entertainment with me.
Not touching that.
