Re: The Official Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island Anime Thread Mk I

So the movie is due out on Friday. Is there any word on international release( i.e., screenings, if it's coming to Crunchyroll, Netflix, Prime, etc)? There have been no announcements about the movie. Compared to previous releases like Narrative and Hathaway, it seems that Sunrise isn't as intereste...

Re: is Thunderbolt a Alternative Continuity or just another UC Side Story?

Wow. I didn't realize it was THIS deep. I guess the better question is the ANIME apart of the ANIMATION U.C. canon or is it alternative continuity. clearly the Manga/Comic is an alternative continuity / pocket universe.. in the old animation series & movie there's this line where Amuro's father ...

is Thunderbolt a Alternative Continuity or just another UC Side Story?

Just a question. I was under the impression that thunderbolt was just another side story like 0080, 0083 or 08th Team like basically Thunderbolt tells this 'hidden' history sideline story that we didn't know anything about and basically the idea being that near the end of the war and after the war t...

Re: New Interview w/ Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (2021)

From the article it sounds like Yas doesn't hold any ill will against Tomino anymore. He did mention that Tomino is in a different mindset these days so remaking MSG may not be the best idea. Tomino is also very busy with the G-Reco movies and its unclear if he wants to work on Gundam anymore after...

Re: New Interview w/ Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (2021)

yep. so there goes his definitive answer on this subject. He says he views Cucuruz Doan's Island as a 'side story' i got a feeling it will do BIG numbers the way Hathaway film did. its a shame though. if Tomino and Yasuhiko worked together again, hashed out their differences and if Sunrise brought i...

Re: The Official Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island Anime Thread Mk I

Well. Looks like this is as close we'll ever get to a remake of the old series in Origin Style which is cool by me. Does anyone know the major differences between the recent Manga Remake and the 1979 episode ?? The manga isn't a remake of the episode. It, ironically, doesn't deal that awful much wi...

Re: The Official Gundam Hathaway Anime Thread Mk I

That is a bit difficult to comprehend if Mafty wants to stop the deportation of people into space but at the same time Hathaway wants humanity as a whole to move into space (Char's ideals). I'm not an expert on Hathaway's Flash but my understanding was that Hathaway was trying to both embrace Amuro...

Re: The Official Gundam Hathaway Anime Thread Mk I

Could someone help me understand how Mafty (Hathaway) plans to achieve his ultimate goal and what does the Mafty organization truly want?

Re: Would Macross be more popular/respected if Robotech did not exist?

Honestly, I feel that Robotech has damaged the preception of what Macross 'really' is in the eyes of Americans and English speakers and generic cartoon watchers. Only true anime nerds know the difference. to fix that a total a complete reintroduction of Macross and what it is - i feel is required. i...

Is it not a fact that there was a backlash from the fans and viewers when ZZ aired and the creative team reacted by making changes.

What could've happened to the Gundam franchise if ZZ was a hit in the '80s?

I just realized something. Char's Counterattack doesn't get the credit for being the 'turning point' for the franchise. it gets honored for being a great classic anime film but..the original series, the MSG trilogy and Zeta made history but with Double Zeta, you can tell that the Tomino and his team...

Would Macross be more popular/respected if Robotech did not exist?

Honestly, I once liked Robotech. I didn't get into it when it actually aired cause I was too young, I rediscovered it in the '90s when it started airing as re-runs on the Sci-Fi channel. I dug it back then. I liked the deep story combined with the action. Back in those days I didn't know anime the w...

Re: Your Favorite Non-Gundam Anime Soundtracks/Songs

all Great suggestions. thank you.

Yeah its action themed anime with great music. doesn't need to be mecha based.

I felt the OST/Score to 'Fatal Fury: The New Battle" was pretty memorable.

the English version of the '80s anime 'tank police' theme is pretty catchy.
