https://x.com/gundam_info/status/2029701197246996684https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iluOLHNHhR8Further merch and idol inspired mobile suit color schemes to be revealed in the near future.
Shirakami Fubuki - Gundam Exia from Mobile Suit Gundam 00Sakura Miko - Nu Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counter AttackHoshimachi Suisei- Sazabi from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counter Attack
Houshou Marine - Crossbone Gundam X1 from the Mobile Suit Gundam Crossbone manga seriesHakui Koyori - Freedom Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEEDRindo Chihaya - Unicorn Gundam Unit 02 Banshee Norn from the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn OVA
Sui-chan having the Sazabi is the most obvious thing in the world, but I didn't expect Chihaya to have the Banshee Norn. Curious on what 'game' even means on the ad, I don't expect something with the effort of, say, Holocure to pop up in order to advertise some recolors.
>>23772643Gender envy double whammy... Very mean, Bandai, very mean.
>>23772639The recolors look pretty meh besides the Sazabi and Crossbone. I suppose the Miku gundam sold well enough for them to explore this route of gunpla variants.
Think they'll have a Mori Calliope Deathscythe?
Gundam Collab Booth at Hololive Super Expo 2026https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/2091061.html
>>23772651>Curious on what 'game' even means on the adProbably Breaker 4 DLC? Maybe GGE units.>>23772670The MS they've shown so far are clearly based on the RGs, so I don't think it's likely.
>>23772690some merch shown off. Acrylic Stands, prototype figure of a Holo idol in a normal suit, Gundam Converge figures in the promotional color schemes and more
>>23772670Feels like a Mori Deathscythe and a Kiara Wing Zero are no-brainers but this looks to be a JP-only thing so far?The teased Zeong seems like it's a tie-in for Laplus, what with the dark purple color and yellow mono eye, but I have no idea what thematic connection she has to it other than the horns.
>>23772651>Curious on what 'game' even means on the adThey're finally re-launching Gundam Evolution to put these skins in loot boxes
>>23772643>Banshee doesn't have a green Psychoframe, just some small green highlightsU wot m8>>23772642I bet FBK would have preferred a Flag instead of Exia, but Graham does end up piloting the Exia R4 or something.
>>23772639>>23772642It's always the most boring choices for the collabs. Except for Marine, there's no real attempt at matching the girls to a Gundam that fits their personalities.
are these just straight repaints? a lot of these are ancient RG's that desperately need fixes
I will never understand the appeal of vtubers.
>>23772670Nah, it's JP only. EN got stuck doing yugioh.
>>23772746Do you understand the appeal of either idols or streamers? It's basically the same shit. What I will never understand is the lunatics who follow multiple at once, I only follow one and even then not that closely.>>23772749I'm kinda glad they didn't because then the one I like might get one and I'd feel compelled to buy the kit. Of course if I wanted to I could just paint one in her colors anyways.
>>23772774You only watch one TV series at a time? Only read one book at a time? Only play one videogame at a time?
>>23772670>>23772710Yeah, despite being pretty big among Holo JP, Mori is still EN, and Cover wants to promote the main branch regardless of whether they have a personal interest in Gundam. I'm honestly surprised by no Pekodam.>>23772746It's entertaining watching women in anime personas rambling about stuff while playing video games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW8sjbYsTC0
>>23772777I usually don't play or watch multiple things that are primarily live streamed, that's what I mean. Too much for me to keep up with so many livestreams or VODs of the streams. Like how some people play 7 gacha games at the same time and somehow have time for all of the events. Different strokes I guess.
>>23772778>I'm honestly surprised by no Pekodam.There's more yet to be announced (a Zeong was teased) so who knows how far this collab goes.
>>23772786Might be some small hope for Ina and IRys due to both being big Gundam fans.
>>23772726Realistically they need to try with kits that are abundant enough so they don't need to put a new production that would make the whole thing unprofitable.That being said the Nu and the Sazabi are a subtle jab to the Micomet thing.
>>23772799Also red comet = blue comet
>we want the brown audience
I love the Unicorn and Banshee, but I'm starting to groan any time I see them now. As in, I physically feel myself facepalm even if I'm not actually doing it. I need a doctor.
>>23772670Does Mori even like Gundam? Sounds like someone who rarely touches it.
>>23772639>hololive>vtubersThis shit is really embarrassing, man.
>>23772904I don't think so, or at least I don't think she's ever brought it up.
>>23772907No more embarrassing than snapping together colorful plastic robot toys intended for children, all the while pretending it's deep because muh war is bad.
>>23772916There are degrees of being embarrassing. Compared to worshipping some random old woman hiding behind an anime rig and talking about Mario, building plastic toy robots is pretty normal.
>>23772670They'll have a Mori themed fuunsaiki.
I wonder if Takane Lui will get a MS since she already has Code Geass collab.
The absolute fucking state of Gundam
>>23772778Chihaya and Koyori are the ones in the JP side that are the most serious and knowledgeable about Gundam, with Miko as the next one and Subaru trying to catch up
>>23772774Most TV shows air one 30-60 minute episode a week, not five 4 hour episodes every week.And as someone who has watched TV shows that did the latter I wasn't spending my TV time watching other shows while they aired, it took up too much time.
>>23772998Let's be real, this is at least better than the Overwatch collab.
Korone Shining Gundam and God Gundam fucking when?
>>237727463DPD simping with extra steps
>>23772916>gunpla is physical and you have it forever>superchats are just you paying some roastie to say your name
>>23772642Thats a nice looking sazabi
>>23772642>>23772643>shit doesn't even have any special decalsLaaazy
>>23772639>>23772642Very trans coded designs, the target audience is clear
>>23773386>see women>think about menwhat are you fucking gay?
>>23773418Why is agp so common in the vtubing circle?
>>23772774>Do you understand the appeal of either idols or streamers?No.
>>23772746I watched them for a bit during covid but the novelty wore off quick. Watching them is surprisingly time consuming and the payoff isn't the best entertainment wise.
>>23772692Sigh, Hololive is really making me buy a figure of a vtuber I don't know too much about just because they appeal to my pilot suit fetish.
>>23773275Yeah. Never thought about a Sazabi in blue, but it works.
I know the Suisei one watched some Gundam and talked about it because YouTube shoved some clips my way but do any of these other anime PNGs have anything to do with Gundam at all
>>23773559Suisei sings the ED and a couple of inserts for GQuuuuuuX.
>>23773567Ew, Gqux is the last thing I'd want to be associated with.
>>23773559A good chunk of them have seen more Gundam than most people who build GunPla. There is some actual personal interest among the talents and not necessarily forced.
>>23773062Yeah and honestly you can use most streams as background noise unless they're playing a game or doing something you really want to see, but I'm still bad at keeping up with more than one. I do actually watch a couple regular streamers but even then that's mostly highlights, I can't be assed to watch livestreams everyday especially when they're streaming midday for my timezone.>>23773436Well that's why you don't get vtubers I guess. >>23773646Wasn't expecting Nerissa to have seen that many.
>>23772902That's just your NTD system activating
>>23773646>>23773559Suisei is probably the only one that's had a professional involvement, but she does love Char, and because her name is literally comet it's a play on if char is red coment, she's blue comet. Everyone else is personal.Miko likes CCA and there's a running gag rivalry between her and Suisei so the Nu Gundan and Sazabi are appropriate. Freedom because Koyori is a huge SEED fan and it actually is her fave suit design and prior to becoming a vtuber she also wanted to one day be a voice for a Gundam character. Banshee because Chihaya loves the Gundam Unicorn OVAs. Exia because Fubuki's in it for Yuichi Nakamura (Graham Aker's obsession over GUNDAMU, so she can be Exia). Marine is the only odd one out. Hers is Crossbone just because "lol pirate themed gundam" but she's like the typical American Gundam fan, she's only seen Wing, and it's with fujo glasses.
>>23773744>Suisei is probably the only one that's had a professional involvementWhat makes you say that?
>>23773775Because>>23773567https://youtu.be/Rd3Gu4pQURY
>>23773780That explains why the song is horrible.
>>23773782Why do I have a feeling you wouldn't say that if she weren't a vtuber?
>>23773780I don't remember this song.
>>23772998Gundam becoming a collabwhore like Hello Kitty, Godzilla, Street Fighter and Ultraman is not that big of a deal.
>>23773780the speedup on the tv edit bugs me a lot
I am almost 40 and I dont know what hololive or a vtuber is. Is it like Vocaloid? I'm being serious I don't know what the fuck this is. They are youtubers who dont want their real identities to be known so they made up fake CGI girls?
>>23774062Streamers with anime avatars. They can use live2d or 3d models or both. They have set "characters" that they play up too, like being aliens, secret agents or cats or whatever.Hololive is a talent agency that produces a number of successful vtubers. They treat them kinda like idols so on top of streaming they also have to sing and apparently dance too.
>>23774077Why do they have to know how to dance if they are using anime avatars?
>>23774079They hold live concerts where they have to do the live mocap for their 3D models.
>>23774079This is mostly a holdover from japanese culture/entertainment, and ended up having a direct influence since the most recent hires on Hololive are former idols themselves.That said, the "kinda like idols" phrase, take that as a exact description. For reasons.
>>23774014it's literally the ED
>>23773235>he actually sends supasLol, lmao even.
>>23774159As in the ED was so forgettable kind of way.
>>23773646>only one Turn A and Double Zeta
>>23774632Only one sampled G too, unless there's stuff buried under the ones who filled out the list and then some.
>>23774650Inna, Irys, and Koyori have seen almost all the shows. Whoever made the image probably just didn't want to make an overly large graph.
>>23774062IDOL SLOP IDOL SLOP IDOL SLOP WATCH THE STREAMER E-GIRL WITH AN ANIME JPEG PLAY VIDEO GAMESDONATE DONATE DONATE DONATE DONATEWATCH THE CLIPSGO TO THE CONCERTBUY THE MERCH BECAUSE YOURE A GOOD CONSUMER WHORE WORSHIPPER
>>23774803Some the recent newer hires are exAKB48 members so I can't even refute that, I guess gundam is that big in japan
>>23774895I think the problem is that they just dont have any more good designs left in them so they're compensating by having a shit ton of crossovers. Maybe I'm just seething that in the past 5 years ive only liked maybe 3 designs.
>>23775490The police Zaku is maybe my favorite new design in a long time. I also really like the Demeter from I believe the Walpurgis manga, but I am not totally sure if that is in the past five years or not.
>>23775502This also makes me giddy. I wouldn't say that it is good, but I fucking love it.
>>23775502I really like the Gelgoog and the Guncannon Light Type. Also the Demeter's a pretty cool design for like an advanced Quebeley. I also had no idea Haman had a cute little sister.
>>23773646>Pekora only watched Unicorn because she was intrigued by the non-stop Banagher SOREDEMO while playing the Unicorn pachinko machine
>this is how gunpla dieslmao
>>23775765By making a fuckton of money?
>>23775502i do not like the cock thruster. But the designs i liked are the calibarn, the schwarzette, and the EX. The EX in particular makes me thing of the michal bay transformers movies so thats guilty pleasure lmao. I'll admit I'm more on the tokusatsu side of /m/ I just came to this thread to bitch about how much I hate vtubers. I swear it's like I pick up a new hobby and vtubers always seem to show up somehow. I play yugioh master duel they show up for a stream on the games official channel apparently multiple times, I watch kamen rider they show up as a voice actor in a movie, i get into yo-kai watch and one shows up in the anime in its dying year, and now this.
>>23773646how many gundam shows has korone watched? I remember her singing ideon's OP, so she must be pretty old.
>>23775828>the tokusatsu side of /m/
>>23775853reiwa was a mistakeall of their shows since starting reiwa have been shit
For once I would be elated if these big corpo Vtubers pick the non-popular choices they like for these collabs. Granted I think Bandai forced them to pick among the most popular choices aside Marine. Imagine if they actually picked the Z'Gok or Zeong instead.
>>23775856Kamen Rider was never good. It got cancelled/ended three times after Stronger, Super-1 and Black RX.
>>23775852Braigar's OP as well, alongside the OG singer even, I think.
>>23775858Admittedly everything after Showa might as well be a different franchise but early Heisei is where I like to think Rider peaked. That shitty camera they used for the first few years and before they really started using terrible cg is something I miss a lot.
>>23775828>yugioh
>>23775882taiki matsuno died not long after showing off cards his character in the anime never used and talking to some vtuber i think it was some nijisanji ojou character. but also heres a screencap of that stream i unknowingly clicked on to without any mentions of vtubers in its title.
>>23775886>taiki matsuno diedPassed away in 2024, the 20th anniversary year of GX to boot.
>>23775886I mean I guess if you don't follow Master Duel's YouTube you would have missed the multiple posts they made promoting the collab. Plus they did one last year and the year before, I believe. I follow one of the vtubers here so that's how I knew about it, although I'm not into Master Duel so I didn't watch it. I was playing it a bit last year but Yugioh just doesn't click with me man, I had a deck that I was having fun with but not quite enough to get me to build it out more. Just not a card game for me.
>>23775892its a game for people with stockholme syndrome and im saying this as someone with a ton of hours in it. Complex as shit, you win or lose in your opening hand, and theres very little room for fun decks. If I had to compare it to anything it's like modding Skyrim where half the fun is trying to make something that works rather than actually playing it.
>>23775857Fubuki wanted Graham's Union Flag Custom but Bandai said NO.
KEK, based newtype autist.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT-Tqe7TNkg
>>23775828I feel like the majority of /m/ hasn't even watched 0079 at this point and it makes me incredibly sad.
>>23776086surprised it took her this long to get into it
>>23776106It's the only explanation for all the people bitching about what happens in modern Gundam series, not realizing it was something already established all the way back in 1979/80.
>>23776112Maybe they are bitching that current writers are copying Tomino's ideas and executing them worse than he did?
>BWEH my le sophisticated high-art kino patrician hobby is doing collabs with entities I don't care about, releasing merch I don't have to consume.>HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO MEEEEE I AM SO EMBARRASSED HOW COULD I EVER RECOVER>form their opinion either out of complete ignorance of the subject or a suspicious encyclopedic knowledge on itI am not here to defender vtubers or anything, do people genuinely not know they can just not give a shit? It's like people who share oddly strong opinions about the newest celebrity scandals or the newest menu item from fast food chains.What even is this phenomenon, involuntary consumerism?
>>23776126They feel like their hobbies intended for teenage boys is being invaded by girls or some shit idk.
>>23774803>Vtuber JO crystals
>>23775852She gives the feeling of someone who was generally more into Super Robots
>>23775914>I know Masurao is also Ham-sama's signature unit but to me the Flag is the coolestBASED FRIEND
>>23775857Is UC actually popular at this point?
>>23773646I could have sworn marine had seen more than just wing.
>>23776111Based, good taste anime woman
>>23775914That damn Nakamura simp
>>23772639>>23776126>>23776129Hololive is in everything, so this is no surprise. A Holo Member is part of SRW, and then there is this that got announced. Blue Comet is going to be everywhere now more than ever.
>>23774895Gundam is absolutely everywhere in Japan. You can't walk 5 feet in Tokyo without seeing something Gundam.
>>23776190in japan? yes.
>>23776106it'll probably make you sadder to know the only gundam show ive ever watched to completion is the original build fighters show because it was low investment and on youtube. You could also blame whoever decided to throw tokusatsu threads on a board dedicated to mecha and not say making a new board dedicated to kaiju and other shit like that. >>23776126A lot of these properties are on decline anyway it just reeks of trying to broaden its audience rather than make something new and meaningful. Just look at the MS's they picked out, not a single one is less than 10 years old.
>>23772778Pekora was announced for a Dragonar-1 collab for some reason
>>23776664Uhhhh there are suits from CCA which was a movie made in 1988.
>>23776664>You could also blame whoever decided to throw tokusatsu threads on a board dedicated to mecha and not say making a new board dedicated to kaiju and other shit like that./m/ is already dead enough as it is, do you really want two threads in the same state as modern /tg/ in place of it?
>>23776664TO BE FAIR, the first build fighters is great, lightning in a bottle moment. The cash grab follow ups, not so much.
>>23776677As someone who doesn't browse /tg/, what happened to it in the modern day?
>>23776681I watched a couple of episodes of try like 10 years back and think I got kinda bored of it. Too many original kits for a show that was originally about retooling old ones. Had good girl designs at least. Also the Tryon 3, even if the actual kit kinda looks like shit.
>>23776288Wait a minute? Hold on>Suisei is piloting a Zaku through beyond the time>She is now in Fortnite>Darth Vader is in Fortnite>”THE DEAD SPEAK” moment from episode 9 was a reference to the Fortnite event which you could only here thereStar Wars is canon to UC gundam confirmed?…..Nah JK
>>23776672she tweeted that she will be watching the first gundam film.
Are vtuber whales going to succeed where Eternity failed?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IKMosvC3nI
>>23772639>>23772907>>23772998V-tubers are the present and future.
>>23782314I'm seriously think the tech used for their concerts and 3D fuckery is probably the most 'tangible' advancement of technology I felt in a long time.
>>23772690Brings back an ancient memory.Admittedly, what I really like about this is the head shape + the black, white and purple. The rest is so-so.
>>23787239I wish the models would put more effort into it, like this artist with his kitbash designs.
>>23787271please understand, bandai is a small family-run business and cannot possibly spare time for new designs
>>23776682Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar with current year Gee-DubsMagic: The Gathering is the Fortnite of card games.DND is just 5e getting worse.
