More like the last anime in that timeslot period. MBS even had a PV made for this announcement and how big of a deal this is.

Re: RX-93 v Gundam design

I've also seen rumors that for home video releases of CCA there were some color-correction done that made the Nu bluer than the original theatrical release, though judging from the trailer for the 4K Ultra HD release in 2018 (AFAIK the latest one so far) there seems to be no merit in this.

Re: RX-93 v Gundam design

New statue aside, I think the confusion about whether the Nu Gundam is supposed to be black or a very very dark blue comes from the model kits. While the onscreen version is almost certainly meant to be black, the model kits (since the very first kits back in '88) have (almost) consistently given th...

Official site has been updated with new key visual, crew listings, and a new PV (Youtube is region-locked; you might have better luck with Twitter) and screenshots featuring the good ol' RX-78-02.

Re: Translated Gundam Manga?

Yup, only a single volume for the English release going by the original announcement (though the JP release being in two volumes might be the source of some confusion) Oh, so is the english release combining Vol 1 & 2, or is Vol 2 coming out at a later date? From the preorder listings it combin...

Re: Box Type Beam Saber

I don't quite understand what does Box type means? But the GM Sniper Custom's beam sabre is still hand carry in use and only mount on the wrist, similar with Nemo III.(the manga showed it using the sabre in hand) The original depictions of the GM Sniper Custom (GSC) had a large box like device on i...

As for any upcoming books, The Men Who Created Gundam (which you may know as Gundam Sousei ) is getting a one-volume release in May 2022 and the recent Beltorchika's Children manga will be releasing starting in July . Both are from Denpa. Is Gundam Sousei only a single volume? If it is I'd love to ...

Re: Color of Beam Sabers

The Gelgoog's beam saber color was changed to yellow in the movies in order to reuse footage from the TV version of the Gundam vs Gyan duel (which also changed the shape of the beam naginata's blade from the more curved original to a standard beam saber blade).

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

The surest guarantee of information appearing based on previous Gundam series would be at the latest two months before the premiere date. So if for example the show is releasing in April, expect the marketing (e.g trailers, site updates with staff, cast, plot background, initial MS (and Gunpla) to g...

The Story Behind Human Touch?

Is there a source documenting the story of how Warren Wiebe and his song Human Touch got tapped to be Gundam X's ED for the majority of its run (albeit half of that being in translation)? From what I gather the other artists who did English songs for Gundam in the 90s had direct connections in Japan...

Re: Strongest "Secondary" CE Gundam?

I'm not sure about it being the "strongest" per se, but the Forbidden (and its descendants) have found their niche as the Earth Alliance's mainstay aquatic MS, so it is almost-certainly the most successful of the lot.

Having different designers for different factions was something that they also employed in Majestic Prince, and that resulted in quite distinctive designs for each faction in the work. The prologue offers a glimpse at the 4 factions AMAIM units (one is compact and covered in Red and Black armor, Th...

So what does everyone think of the first episode?(SPOILER) You can definitely see a Gundam influence in the mechs (in particular they look like IBO mechs). The first episode got off to a strong start combining worldbuilding, meeting the protagonist and the first mech battle, which was awesome and w...

Re: Striker Packs

I'd go with the Noir Striker myself, because even if you have to use it with a Strike E to achieve maximum utility, it is the culmination of the all-rounder Striker pack lineage that started from the Perfect Striker and the IWSP.
