I wish they planned to release it sooner. I will probably be dead by 2029.
It's makes the most sense to do it for 50th anniversary.
Imagine not wanting to be dead.
>>23868822Unironically how would they going to do it? Completely remastered like SEED? Mix old and new like New Translation trilogy? Also will they include Cucuruz Doan's island episode?
>>23868854I would bet (a small amount of) money that they're going to have AI remake the original frame by frame in the Origin art style, spend the smallest amount they can to have real artists come and touch everything up so that it wasn't "made by AI" and just leave the original voice track in place so they can say "isn't it sweet that Sayla still has her original voice 50 years later?" and they'll skip Doan since there's already a whole movie for that in Origin style.
>>23868826I guess, but why announce it so far from the 50th anniversary? Especially if its just a HD remaster with some touch ups.
It's gonna be a complete remake, that's the only thing that makes sense for a 50th anniversary and 3 years away. Otherwise it's gonna be embarrassing if it's just a 4k remaster that already exists.
>>23868937nips love announcing things years before it comes out.
With some merchandise refresh? So with RG/HG revive of Dom and Gelgoog? They probably would run out of worthy heroes to do for RG, so do the OYW main MS roster.Maybe it is going to be a theatrical release OVA in chapters like Yamato and LOGH and Code Geass and Patlabor EZY, skipping the monster of the week battles so total length close to the 25 episodes.
>>23868970if it was completely a new 0079 then they would have just used the word remake instead of remaster.
>>23869035does bandai even know the difference between remake and remaster? they're japanese remember and they dont know the accepted choice of words between the two.
50 years does warrant a replacement so they clearly said they want it in a form that is easy for newcomers to watch.The closest remake we had were the Sega Saturn/Playstation era OVA style cutscenes.https://youtu.be/GCRtFptEMF8?si=9zGH8bb9eF2o8Frr
>>23868822The better question is do they bring Tomino in for the remastered?
>>23869038I mean, we had SEED Remaster. That's probably what they're using as parameter.>Still reuses old footage, cut to widescreen>Some new/redrawn footage but...>All Audio is reused and new footage is limited by that.>Footage from the Special Edition movies incorporated into the tv show.
>>23869031HG Revive Guntank... With moveable tracks!!!
>>23869031They'll probably just sprinkle in some MSV designs as short cameos and make HGs of those
They will never remake it while Yas and Tomino are alive.
>>23869031HG Dom revive should have happened a decade ago imo. Gelgoog seems more likely to get a RG since it's rival-coded.
>>23869072Good news it's 3 years away a lot can happen
>to allow even more fans to experience the origin of the seriesThey can stream it, they can get it on blu-ray and DVD, what more do they need?
I'm thinking remake honestly it makes no sense that a 4k re-release would take 3 years. Probably a clever way to introduce a new Amuro VA too
>>23869134Not to mention how Gundam has already received some extremely high quality remasters on blu ray and dvd and 4k.
>>23869134It'll be a dragon ball Kai type of remaster, not a remake.
