well yeah everything gets a cameo in Build Fighters. but the thing is Bandai stripped their sites of any mention of G-Saviour and they removed it from Universal Century canon which rarely ever happens.

(As someone who’s never watched the series) I’m thinking the Watchowski sisters,

I don’t trust Hollywood to do anything original. Hell, after Age, G-Reco, and IBO I don’t know that I trust Sunrise to do anything original.

I know there's tons of merch. I was personally very into building the HG and RG models before my daughter was born. But my point stands, because you can't just walk into Target and but any of it.

Nah. If there’s money to be made, as long as it’s not direct criticism of the Politburo, PC goes right out the window the China. They even have American good guys, Chinese bad guys, and sympathetic Japanese characters.

Came looking for this comment. I agree that 8MST did a better job handling the physics/mechanics/tactics of mobile suit warfare better than any other series. It helps that they didn’t mess around in space too much. It’s also easier to connect with low level grunts that are far removed from global politics than…

Actually, they did acknowledge it in season 1 of GBF.

Im actually waiting for that moment just so I can point out nearly none of the original cast is asian at all. Hell Armaro is as North American as you can get... he’s half Mexican and half Canadian born in Canada. His mom is Canadian and stupid name aside Tem Rey his dad is Mexican.

You realize nearly all of the original Gundam cast is not Japanese right. Hell the two leads are Mexican Canadian (Amaro), and European (Char).

Please let this be more of a “08th MS Team” affair than something related to the main One Year War conflict. A more focused, character driven story arc would work better in the comparatively short movie format. Trying to introduce the entire global Zeon/Federation conflict, the advent of mobile suits as the combat…

I see Gundam (at least the oldest series) as pretty damn anti-war. There’s no celebration of ace pilots, many of whom get irreparably traumatized. Endings don’t even qualify as “happy”, sometimes not even bittersweet. Wars don’t end wars. Everyone suffers. Patriotism is something that’s easily manipulated and…

Dear Legendary:

Ok, I’m in.

Japan and Japanese will always be evil, according to their propaganda.

Hmm, it could be awesome - or it could be a bunch of people just running around the statue in Tokyo being shot from different angles, lol.
On a side note, I just came back from Tokyo and finally saw this up close!

To be honest, I don’t know much about Gundam, but if anybody can do it justice it would be Legendary. Their CGI will be fantastic if Godzilla and Pacific Rim are any indication. The story will be a toss-up but it’ll be fun to watch at the very least.

You fucking what? Gundam has never been a Japanese-centric story regardless of where its creators are from. Amuro Ray is Canadian.

Legendary has just announced a new collaboration with Sunrise at Anime Expo 2018 that will see Gundam get its first ever live-action movie.

I love Gundam. Love it.

“... will see Gundam get its first ever live-action movie.”
