I mean Cucuruz Doan's Island looked amazing. This'll probably turn out fine.
I'd be more worried that it's a tie-in to the new game that basically looks like Gundam Synduality.

24 eps leads to mid-season meandering and clip episodes, though. Needs to be like 17-18 episodes and then fill in with SD/Build Fighters shenanigans or something.

It is possible if you keep using the same animation banks like in Seed or previous shows. But you'd hate that, wouldn't you? Calling it cheap and cutting corners
>>
>>23953344
Kinda just a consequence of the dwindling pool of mecha animators. The fact that g-witch needed so many animators to get out on time shows how difficult it is to make a 2d mecha anime. I assume because of how many they needed and possibly having the main people work on the 0079 remaster they scaled down this project for budget reasons and to see how much budget and time a 3d cgi gundam anime would be.

>>
>>23953915

I've wondered about that. Why is recycled animation bad?
>>
>>23953467
>we don't NEED any more homages nigger,
I was having a conversation about comic books with one of my friends and one of the things we went on about was how sick we were of seeing iconic covers getting "homaged" in new variants. Some of these were pop culture landmarks but they've been referenced and homaged so many times it feels like it's been ages since we've seen anything new that's iconic enough to get homaged in the future. We're so busy chasing nostalgia and iconography that we've basically been in a creative void. What's come out that will be so well regarded 20 years from now. This can be comics or anime or whatever.
>>
>>23954029
Because a lot of the time people don't know how to be clever about it. A robots launch or combination sequence is one thing. Maybe a few attack animations. But then you get shit like Impulse becoming the Strike. And three variants on Providence.
>>
File: stock animation dragoons.jpg (135 KB, 1000x1000)

>>23954029
it's not always bad, but it depends how well it's executed. some reuse of animation is expected over the course of a 50 episode TV series, especially stuff like transformation scenes where most people don't mind because it's usually a very detailed scene that only happens a couple of times, they can get away with reusing it.

sometimes it's a sign of a bigger problem. in the case of seed and destiny, supposedly it was due to morosawa turning in scripts late, leaving less time for animators to work on episodes before they aired, so they ended up being forced to use a lot of stock animation to save time as a shortcut. catapult launch sequences, generic attack scenes, weapons effects and storyboard sequences got recycled way more than usual
>>
>>23953345
What anime minutes produced per year?
>>
I hope the Red Gundam pilot/Char Clone doesn't job, I had high hopes for Elan Ceres 4 in G-Witch, but he died like a bitch early on and lost his relevance till the final episode.
>>
>>23954029
It isn't.
>>
>>23954085

I concur. Problem with what animators want to do is really pull out all of the stops. Recycling animation allows for the rest of the budget to be saved for other purposes like say, paying for alternative schedule slots to make sure a story isn't restricted to the confines of 12 episodes.
>>
>>23953050
That trailer looked good thought. It looked like an actual Gundam show. We haven't had one of those in a while.
>>
>>23953276
Is it confirmed to be 12 episodes?
>>
>>23953949
Fuck. I'm really digging this design.

no worries anon you can build yours with them and I can without

It just occurred to me that Gundam Helix is using the Late U.C mobile suit heights since it's significantly shorter than the Zero.
>>
>>23954353

Maybe within the 90-year time gap between XARX-ZERO and Ring Orbit, things get worse becauser the Apocalypse (if they'll still be called that in the latter entry), mobile suits were built to be relatively shorter like what happened in Universal Century post-UC 0100.
>>
>>23954390
It's probably a direct reference to Late UC downsizing. I don't necessarily like it, but I get it.
>>
>>23953345
is there a version of this chart up to 2026?

I hope the Gundam Zero gets more mutations.

The thing I think is going to bug me the most is that it won't be a complete story. It's a big advertisement for the game, so you just know it's going to end on a cliffhanger and basically say you have to play Rogue Orbit if you want the rest.

What are the chances the Gundam has berserk moments after the fusion?
>>
I like that Gundam's going all experimental, after all, we're still getting traditional U.C stories and AUs like Wing, Seed and 00 are getting new projects.
>>
>>23956468
The last time we had a multi-generational anime and video game cross-media initiative was AGE, so I hope this one does better.

I'm gonna get shit for this, but I actually had fun with AGE, but mostly because of Memory of Eden.
>>
>>23956486

So story initiatives we have now are U.C NexT 0100 and the RG Project?
>>
>>23953490
I don't give a fuck about "mid season meandering". Give me all the shitty filler in the world. I'm a 23 year old zoomer. There hasn't been a proper 40 episode gundam series since IBO in the Heisei era when I was in high school. Everyone is sick of shows that have zero staying power.
>>
>>23956513
It just occurred to me that we haven't had a full U.C anime series since Victory.
>>
>>23956540
A full anime series in general is a rarity nowadays. I can't recall the last anime series that was longer than 26 episodes and had any kind of staying power.
>>
I hope this is the main thread, the other two are retard rage threads.
>>
>>23956513
Yes, other than that, we have Wing, Seed and 00 projects and the live action movie that just wrapped filming.

I mean same shit happens here, maybe because of the overlapping user base but every time a new show is announced there's people going "OH NONONOOO LOOK IT'S CGI!!!!" "WTF THE CHARACTERS LOOK LIKE TRANNIES" or some other shit. You'd think /m/ fans would want their niche to succeed.
But yeah culture war bullshit has sent /a/ into /v/ and /tv/ tier discussion.
>>

That annoys me like no other. I can't even discuss the new Star Wars anime there without being called a shill or a troon. Culture warriors deserve the rope.
>>
>>23956150
I'm curious about the context of this transformation. Does the Gundam get partially infected? Or is this some hidden ability?

But I agree that the default RG Zero.Gundam is way better than the edgy teenanger one.
>>
>>23953506
>>23956522
You don't get filler, you get clip episodes and episodes that could have been half an episode but get padded out with redundant character reaction shots and stock footage. 24-episode Gundam seasons aren't twice the story of 12-episode seasons, they're about 1.5 times the story with shitty pacing. Which is why I say 17-18 episodes is the sweet spot. You get a couple of episodes of filler/world-building, but they're intentional and keep the story moving rather than bogging it down.
>>
>>23956390
Are you familiar with Go Shiina? Can you tell me why everyone seems to think his God Eater work sounds like Tekken 8's Duomo di Sirio? I juat don't hear it.
