We will get another special edition RX-78-2?

What are they doing for the anniversary?

>>10528355
most likely an announcement regarding origin and g-reko

>>10528355
>>10528362
1) G-Reconquista (http://www.g-reco.net was registered by Sunrise on 2/4/14, updated 2/12/14)
2) Gundam The Origin (http://www.gundam-the-origin.net was originally registered in 2011 but registration info was updated on 2/12/14)
3) Gundam-san (http://www.gundam-san.net was registered on 2/10/14 and updated 2/12/14)

>>10528362

Is it an event? And if so is it being streamed?

What if someone from Zeta dies in Origin?
Wouldn't have to be Bright, Amuro, or Char, it could be Hayato, Kai, Mirai, Katz, even baby Mineva dying would completely de-rail Zeta.

Part of me actually wants to see the shitstorm that would cause, but most of me doesn't even want to see the shitstorm over canon that Origin is going to cause as-is. I hate knowing that this is going to make it that much harder to get people to watch the original series and will just embolden people who already tell others not to bother watching it.

>>10533876
It's amazing how so many people can complain about something they have not even read.

That said i like that Origin tried to be self contained. It's not bloated with references from OVA series or sequels. You can guess that the storyline will eventually continue to the Gryps Conflict but it's not contemplated in the boundary of the storyline, just like MSG wasn't created to spawn an entire universe.

That's a good thing. As it is right now, I'd rather recommend people to read the manga. You have to admit that Mobile Suit Gundam hasn't aged very well.

When a The Origin anime is released, would there be any compelling reason to watch the 1979 show, other than nostalgia-faggotry?

To appreciate what made it stand out at the time.
More recent versions you can just take as a good sci-fi story. Seeing the TV series as it was originally produced, you get to see the version that started it all, and really get a sense of why it stood out for people in the first place.
For some people, that may not seem like much, but it DOES make a difference to others.

Same for Mazinger Z and Space Battleship Yamato.
Yes, there's newer versions out there, but those were made when the brand had more freedom to do what it wanted, so you kind of take for granted the things they did differently the first time around.

That doesn't make any sense. You're willingly watching something old and obsolete solely because it is old and obsolete. It has no other substantive qualities The Origin does not have.

Hyped.

Looking forward to finally getting the origin.

I think the best way to describe it to the influx on new peeps will just be to say that it is a alternate telling ala A New Translation.

>>10534207
From the board that claims to appreciate older anime and classics, this smacks of double-standard.

>For some people, that may not seem like much, but it DOES make a difference to others.
Not really unless you're a dumb oldfag. Reason why people don't boither to watch the original versions of The Thing and Invasion of the Body Snatchers is because the remakes are superior. Who cares what came first when the quality of one product is better than the other?

>>10534212
Well yeah there's this.

>it is a alternate telling ala A New Translation.
Except for the fact that A.N.T. isn't a replacement for the series. On it own, it doesn't make much sense and serves mostly as fanservice for the audience that has watched the anime.

So question: Would anyone be interested if they flat out adapted the MSG novel (awakening/escalation/confrontation) down the line?

I was honestly expecting Japan to troll it at least once in the lead up to Origin.

>>10534251
The novels are far too retarded and depressing.

>>10534227
That's because there's more than one person on /m/.
You get that when people aren't a hive-mind. Everyone has opinions. Some of us like to see the original and put perspective on the other franchises that came after and how one franchise affected others. Others of us only want the new and shiny with modern rock music.
There is no such thing as "generally accepted" or "/m/'s opinion".

>>10534238
In this case, it is old AND obsolete. Some things can be brand new and still be obsolete, like a games console or a Toyota Corolla.

>>10534228
>Reason why people don't boither to watch the original versions of The Thing and Invasion of the Body Snatchers is because the remakes are superior.

It was just "yo we're out of salt morale is going to drop if people get shit food can we pick up some salt sometime" to which Bright said "yeah sure there's a salt lake nearby it's like ten minutes to go and get some".

>>10534251
Yes. Yes I would.

The MSG novels could be done as a new MSG movie trilogy.

I would love to see the RX-78-3 animated.

>>10534265
The original version is terrible B-movie. Go be a fucking hipster somewhere else.

>>10534251
I'd actually be moderately interested in Tomino's pre-production ideas for MSG like smaller "suit" mecha instead of 20m giant robots, the original "industrial robot" design for the Gundam, things like that.
At least that would be easily identifiable as an alternate take and not taken to be the obsoletion of the original series.

>>10534279
I'd like to see the Kusko Al stuff, myself. And not just her hilariously over-detailed death.

>>10534283
>fucking hipster

Have you actually looked at its general reviews? Even nowadays most critics hold it in pretty high regard.
This isn't even hipster. Mainstream critics still speak well of it.

Face it. Ya fucked up and picked a bad example.

>>10534274
Yeah, for as much as the salt episode gets riffed it did have a purpose. To show that the ship was low on critical survival supplies.

The human body does need a certain amount of salt per day to remain healthy. The episode should have handled the supply problem aspect of it better.

>>10534232
Even so, The Origin can trigger their curiosity and they may end up watching the original series.

Of course they likely will be the minority in the group, but still.

>>10534242
The Origin isn't a replacement, neither. It's its own thing. You can connect The Origin with Zeta, but is different enough than 0079 to consider it as its own.

Some people have a weird boner for this canon and "ultimate" nonsense... I don't get it.

>>10534274
Not just morale, they were going through a desert. Your body loses a lot of salt through sweat, that would have caused health problems.
Most people seem to actually not care either way. I actually thought it was neat because it's an aspect of survival you don't normally see addressed in fiction. There are at least two people on /m/ that insist that it was an entire episode spent doing nothing but chasing a luxury item, and I'm not sure they've actually seen the episode at all, since they don't seem to know how little of the episode actually involved the search for salt. I think they're just balking at the description of the episode in the wiki, honestly.

>>10534295
>Even nowadays most critics hold it in pretty high regard.
In retrospect, back when it was in theaters it was ignored entirely. And despite your stupid claim the remake is still considered the better of the two.

>>10534311
>I'm not sure they've actually seen the episode at all

Talking shit about shows you haven't actually bothered to watch is an /m/ pasttime.

>>10534305

>Of course they likely will be the minority in the group, but still.
Why would anyone want to do that, logically?

>Some people have a weird boner for this canon and "ultimate" nonsense... I don't get it.
The same way I don't get why people worship a 35-year old show with terrible animation, so-so writing and stupid moments. The Origin has no filler and no Tomino crap.

>>10534314
It's considered better, but you notice people don't declare the original obsolete.
It's still revered as a classic for the era, and one of the better horror films of the time period.

Cause most people don't have a hard time living with the idea of multiple versions of the same story.

>>10534274
I didn't think it was even weird after I began reading /m/ threads.
And even today I think it wasn't all that silly.

>>10534329
>Why would anyone want to do that, logically?

You're one of those guys who argues DYRL means you shouldn't bother with the original Macross, aren't you?

>>10534279
Yeah, I would also like to see the Amuro/Sayla romance part. The original MSG only hinted that they were a couple for a time after the war. I liked that they were full blown lovers in the novel.

The sex scene with her asking Amuro to kill her brother could be a really great dramatic scene. (and not for perv reasons.)

>>10534329
>terrible animation
While the animation might be terrible, 0079 has something extremely important going for it that The Origin might not be able to trump: fucking incredible action choreography.

The action in 0079 is quite possibly the best I've seen and certainly the best in any Gundam series. If The Origin can match that or keep the fight choreography the same then it's a contender.

>>10534337
>>You're one of those guys who argues DYRL means you shouldn't bother with the original Macross, aren't you?
It's not a good example. Macross is a long story, while DYRL is basically eye candy for people who know the original, like the A.N.T. movies for Zeta Gundam. If we were talking about Macross: The First you'd have a point.

>>10534329
>Why would anyone want to do that, logically?
"Gee, I wonder how such a franchise became so popular in the firstplace. Maybe I'll check out the original. The new one is nice, but I'd like to see if the original was fair for its time."

It's why I'm gonna watch most of Yamato before I dig into 2199.

>>10534345
>0079 has something extremely important going for it that The Origin might not be able to trump: fucking incredible action choreography.

>The action in 0079 is quite possibly the best I've seen and certainly the best in any Gundam series.
The action is quite good in the series, but I think you're exaggerating a bit. What about SDF Macross?

>>10534305
>Origin can trigger their curiosity and they may end up watching the original series
That, I think, is the light side of the coin. I know that a lot of people, most especially non-Gundam-fans, aren't receptive to 1979 animation and /m/ tends to tell people to start there or fuck off. If seeing a newer side-story or AU makes someone a fan of the franchise, they'll be more receptive to the older incarnation of it because they already like Gundam as opposed to someone who is sitting down at MSG 1 with no prior exposure.
Origin helping to get people into the fandom is a good thing.
People discouraging others from watching the original is the part that bothers me. Not the fact that Origin is getting made, nor the very small changes to the canon, but the fact that it will make this asshole >>10534260 even more determined to discourage people.

>>10534345
Don't forget about the funky battle music. Doubt The Origin will have that.

Can you bother to type a coherent reply, instead of flinging dumb insults? Gyan does appear in The Origin.

>>10534362
I'll probably get re-arranged. Yamato 2199 did it with its sountrack.

So what are the odds they do a straight adaption vs adding in totally new material?

I just don't see all the flashback parts keeping audience attention as the A plot.

>>10534329

Because people like me like to watch fun things and think Gundam, whatever the date it was made, is fill with lots of fun and crazy charming moments.

I like old and new stuff alike, by the way. And I'm not limited to Gundam, not even to mecha alone as a genre.

>0079 has something extremely important going for it that The Origin might not be able to trump: fucking incredible action choreography.
Wow....it's fucking nothing

>>10534358
What bothers me is that you're treating the original as some sort of sacred cow that cannot be compared to anything. What we are talking about is an old TV anime with crappy animation, mediocre dialogue, stupid filler episodes, retarded designs (G-Armor, etc) and a rushed finale.

>>10534375
Depends entirely on if Origin is going to be an OVA or a TV series.

If it's an OVA then I expect it will be a full literal adaption.

If it's a TV series then I could see some alterations made to insure that they don't lose the audience during the Loum and Zeon flashbacks.

>>10534345
Zeta, F91, 0080, 0083, 08th Team, Turn A, 00 and even fucking GBF has better action choreography than 0079. You're exaggerating.

It's because you don't realize how OBJECTIVELY BAD the structure of 0079 is, according to a writing class that anon once sat through half of.

You're not allowed to like structures that shape. You have to like a different shape. I won't warn you twice. Change your ways now, or me and that other anon will deal with you super-duper harshly.

>>10534482
Just autistic oldfags. It's recommended that you watch both or just stop watching the TV series once they reach space and watch the third movie for a much better experience.

My dream is that they will do The Origin in a 12 part ova released quarterly.

I really hope the long lead in time since the announcement of the project has allowed them a good buffer.

I don't want cut cornered TV animation. Give me full blown high budget OVA level stuff.

No, I'm just saying that having a newer iteration does not make the original worthless. I don't mind it being re-made, I just wish you wouldn't tell people that there's no reason to watch it at all. It is still outstanding for it's time, it is still a piece of television history, and it is still the forbearer of 80's and 90's serious mecha anime.
Once again, I only saw it within the last couple of years.
AFTER having seen the shinier and prettier things like 08th and 00.
And I still think that it is worth watching. After seeing the Origin anime, I will WANT to compare the two, and others' opinions of the two.
But even if I do come away from the Origin anime thinking that it's better in every way I still would never call MSG shit or tell people not to watch it.
If you're so positive that no one could possibly like it, why not tell them to try it for themselves?
You're SURE they'll agree with you, right?
What are you afraid of?

We lived through most of Unicorn. We'll live through this.

I've loved 0079, the movie trilogy, and what I've read of The Origin manga. I'm looking forward to the anime adaptation. I've enjoyed every Gundam on at least on some level, and I doubt that'll change. Whether we'll see stuff about G-Reco, Gundam-san, Build Fighters Season 2, or a new Gundam show in general, I'll try my best to enjoy a series that was a big part of my growing up.

Also, this thread got really terrible really fast.

Because there isn't any reason.

For ITS TIME. 1979. We are not on that time anymore. It's in the past. Wasn't that part of Gundam's message? Letting go of the past, or something like that?

I'd rather eat liquified horse excrement.

>I still would never call MSG shit or tell people not to watch it.
Because you are a complete moron who worships old stuff solely because they are old.

>why not tell them to try it for themselves?
Why? Because time is valuable. Why would I recommend anyone to watch an old series? The only reason you do so is because it has some ridiculous "prestige" of being "outstanding for its time" or "a piece of television history", which are empty catchphrases used by poor movie critics.

>You're SURE they'll agree with you, right? What are you afraid of?

That was only really pronounced in Turn A Gundam.
and, to be fair, Tomino was more hoping people would just let go of Gundam entirely and try something else, so not really the best card to play here.

There's nothing wrong with watching the movies.
The problem comes from people insisting that everything that wasn't in the movies didn't happen at all. The movies are an abbreviated version of the story, the most important 1/3 of the story. The series is still valid, and the "canon" argument is only brought up by people who don't like the series want to negate other people knowing more about the story than they do. This usually happens in the "Fed vs Zeon" debate threads when people try to disqualify events because "lol series only".

If you only watched the movies, and you're happy with that and don't want to see more, that's perfectly fine.
I, personally, watched through the series and still wanted more when it was over so I can't understand why someone would only want to watch 1/3 of it. That's not to say that you're wrong for being happy with the movies, just that some people can still enjoy the full series.
The fact that fans of the series shit on fans of the movies and fans of the movies shit on fans of the series is equally disgraceful in my opinion.
In the end, we are both Gundam fans.

>>10534564
>and, to be fair, Tomino was more hoping people would just let go of Gundam entirely and try something else, so not really the best card to play here.
I can fully agree with that message, to be honest.
Look at this thread. Look at this board. Gundam is overrated, overdiscussed. It's a bloated franchise.

I think it's highly likely that Origin is going to be an OVA. Likely the unicorn teams next effort.

I expect Bandai/Sunrise to throw massive bank at it. It'll attract people like crazy in Japan. Way more than anything in the last few years.

>That's his argument.
No, actually, my argument is that *even though* it is old (not *because* it is old) it is still entertaining.
The fact that I, and many others, have enjoyed watching it counteracts your claim that it is worthless. Of course not *everyone* is going to like it. I'm not telling you that you have to like it. I just wish you'd stop trying so hard to stop other people from TRYING it.
Again, if you were really all that positive that it was unappreciable shit, you wouldn't try so hard to stop people from wanting to give it a shot.
>time is valuable
Their time is of no value to you. If you don't want to watch it, then don't. But you are actually wasting a significant amount of your immensely valuable time insisting that other people should not waste *their* time on something.

Personally, I tell people to try everything themselves so that they actually know and aren't just repeating an opinion given to them by someone else. The fact that you are making such an effort to stop people from forming their own opinion is what I don't like about you.
Not the fact that you don't like MSG, but the fact that you don't want to let anyone else like it either.

It doesn't make sense when there is a replacement in the works. What can the old show provide that any adaptation of The Origin cannot? Nothing.
This argument is valid for movies or OVAs, but not TV anime that are several hours long. Especially in the case of GSD, an 18-hour long show that provides little entertaiment, lots of frustration on the viewer, and the only reason you'd be asking people to watch it is so they have an opinion about it. The cost does not merit the means.

Namely, because it's still fun, because curiosity about how Gundam started and how much it influenced post Gundam anime, because funky battle music and enjoyable action scenes. And you can compare old and new, too.

GBF isn't and I bet my money in them.

>>10534705
>Namely, because it's still fun
An adaptation of The Origin will be equally fun. And quit it with that fucking empty catchword. It's cancer for argument.

>because curiosity about how Gundam started
Curious? About some old show? Of which there is a practical replacement for, that contains quite literally all the good stuff from the old one? It's the same thing as that old piece of shit, only remodelled and better.

>because funky battle music
Which will probably will be in The Origin.

>and enjoyable action scenes
Ditto.

>And you can compare old and new, too.
Nothing worthwhile about doing that. "Oh, the new series did this or that differently". What's the point?

>>10534704
>It doesn't make sense when there is a replacement in the works

Here's the thing.
Sunrise doesn't see it as a replacement.
Nowhere have they given any indication that they're gonna pull a George Lucas and stop making the original MSG because they have Origin now.
MSG is a staple of the brand. They're not gonna stop making it any more than they would have stopped making it with the movie trilogy.

It's a variation on a theme, not an overwrite.

You may prefer to see it that way, but Sunrise doesn't seem to agree with you.

>>10534739
>stop making the original MSG
How can they "stop making" the original? Do they have a Chronosphere which they can use to delete things from existance?

And I don't give a fuck as to what a corporation "sees" or "believes" the series is supposed to be. My respect lies with Yas personally.

>>10534732
>An adaptation of The Origin will be equally fun.

Prove it.

>Curious? About some old show?

That's not for you to decide on their behalf. Just because you're a stroppy, no-fun-allowed cockwhistler doesn't mean everyone else is.

>probably

Prove it or fuck off.

>ditto

Prove it or fuck off

>>10534762
>How can they "stop making" the original?

Cease printing of the TV series, switch all merchandise over to the aesthetic set by The Origin.

Again, it's like how Lucas has done everything in his power to keep the re-edited versions of the Star Wars trilogy as the gospel version by making it the only version available.

If Sunrise wanted to, it would NOT be hard to do at all.

>>10534795
No, I'm telling you to prove it.

However, I do expect them to come out and say that they are doing a full recasting. (Which will cause a massive shitstorm)

>>10534732
>An adaptation of The Origin will be equally fun. And quit it with that fucking empty catchword. It's cancer for argument.
Oh, so you are that guy who doesn't like fun. I'm still almost speechless. But at least I can say now that old things are still entertaining even if nowadays there're new things that are even more entertining.

>Curious? About some old show? Of which there is a practical replacement for, that contains quite literally all the good stuff from the old one? It's the same thing as that old piece of shit, only remodelled and better.
See, I said "curious about how Gundam started" which isn't quite the same. And, even if we're talking about "overall curious" about 0079 and The Origin "being a replacement", I'm going and point out that The Origin isn't meant to replace 0079, being it better or worse. And you can still be curious about how is 0079.

>Which will probably will be in The Origin.
We don't know yet, but it doesn't really matters.

>Nothing worthwhile about doing that. "Oh, the new series did this or that differently". What's the point?
The point is to do that very thing. There're people out there who has fun spotting the differences.

>>10534813
Not surprising, though. Half the cast's dead, and the other half will be soon. Unfortunately.

>>10534807

I can see why you prefer to stick with spouting your opinions rather than facts.

>>10534785
>so that I can form my own opinion
Is that the only reason you're going to spend hours of your life? To "have an opinion"? Is that even worth it?

> I wasn't quite 100% on Destiny, but now I'm resolved to include Destiny as well and it's ALL YOUR FAULT because I don't want to be like you.
You know how fucking stupid this is? Think about it: you are going to invest 18 hours of your lifetime watching a show many, upon many, have said is bad... only to prove wrong somebody on the Internet? Do you have an iota of common sense?

>>10534803
I didn't say it would be a smart thing to do. Just that it would be easy to do in terms of leg work.
They're not going to because it's not a smart business decision, but if they somehow decided 'Fuck the TV series and otaku be damned', even though it's career suicide...hey, all they have to do is just stop manufacture of certain items.

But, again, not gonna happen since it's not good business.

>Western comics are full of that
And are regularly mocked for their inability to commit to any decision in the long term, to the point where any character death is met not with grief, but "How long until they undo this?"

>Even Star Trek got a reboot

Which they then turned into an alternate timeline to give themselves an out.
Star Trek Online has been playing out what's been happening in the main universe while the Abrams movies have been going on.

>And look at Star Wars under Disney.
Which part? Cause they've been shutting down a lot of the other continuity material from other sources since they took over full time.
The EU's gonna be subject to a pruning under them (and SW fans aren't exactly broken up over it either.)

>>10534803

>>10534813

Ikeda can still pull of Char of different ages, but most of the remaining cast can't really do young anymore. (+ a good number of the cast have passed away)

>>10534845

>>10534833
>only to prove wrong somebody on the Internet?
Incorrect.
To have my own experience rather than only being able to repeat the opinion of someone who probably didn't actually watch it and is, himself, just repeating what other people told him to think.

You don't understand, if I only watched things that /m/ didn't say were terrible, there would be nothing at all to watch.
People told me not to waste time on ZZ. People told me not to waste time on G-Saviour. People told me not to waste time on MSG. And I enjoyed all of them, ESPECIALLY the original MSG.

So here you are, telling me that it is impossible for someone to enjoy a show that I know from personal experience is my favourite of the franchise. That tells me that your advice is an unreliable predictor of whether I will enjoy something. The only way for me to actually KNOW whether I will like it is to try it myself.

>>10534875
For me, the main problem they'll face isn't that the former cast cannot do young voices anymore, but that they need them alive for the next 20 or so years (for games, sequels, etc.).

Then you wouldn't be getting a recasting aside from where it's absolutely necessary (ie: people unable to do their roles or actors who passed away)

Why do people want an anime of Crossbone so badly? Why do you think this is even a faint possibility, two decades later? I love U.C. Gundam. I love Tomino. But Crossbone is HUGELY overrated and I am continually befuddled as to why it's so often mentioned as some kind of dream project. I edited some of the first series and Steel 7 for Zeonic Corps and did not enjoy it.

I am looking forward to the announcement and will watch the stream if possible, but I can guarantee you it won't be Crossbone-related.

Some people desperately want a super robotish hot blooded gundam series, and that's what crossbone is, that's why so many people want an animated project.
The designs are pretty cool and inspired too.

...Don't they already have G Gundam?

Half an hour to go. Get hyped.

>>10536711
G Gundam isn't really a Gundam series. It could be anything, it just happens to have Gundams slapped on.

>>10536700
Shit man, I just want pirate Gundams and more Seabook in more than just crossover games.

>28 minutes until SEED movie
I'll miss you /m/
