'Kidou Senshi Gundam SEED Freedom Zero' Prequel Project in Production

where have you been? only witch from mercury have moderate financial success when it comes to new gundam shows heck old gundam fans hate gundam age and gundam build fighters and other attempt to cater to potential new gundam fans

read the first post it was specifically said that this gundam movie is the highest grossing film for gundam too

so ye obviously they will milk the cash cow that is gundam seed to attract the old fans

@deg You completely misunderstood what I wanted to say. First of all, you are more than aware that I am extremely critical of G-Witch myself. Not even because of yuri, but because of how shallow, vague and awkward this show was. Not to mention “do you remember, remember?” type of fanservice and almost verbatim quoting of the Last Witch Izetta. Secondly, this intrigues me because Sunrise (or Bamko) regularly try to leave UC in favor of alternative timelines where they could control everything they want and the "modern audience" actively supports them in this (a striking example of the new fans vs old fans controversy around the mentioned above the witch), but business interests regularly bring them back to milking either UC or AE which have become classics in their own right.

Anyway, I recently decided to rewatch the original UC 00079 and I was simply amazed at how much more interesting, captivating and most importantly, deeper the narrative was compared to modern AE, despite the much simpler and older narrative tools. If the old shows from the 00s or even the late 70s look more polished than the expensive shows from the 10s and 20s, then it is not surprising that the audience forces Sunrise to return to them, although Sunrise and Bamko themselves clearly want something new judging for side work.

@EiriktheNazgul I haven't watched the new series, but remembering the new manga, which is basically fanservice for fanservice's sake, I can see what you mean. But otherwise, while Gundam has great potential for creating new titles, as I subjectively think, Geass is too tied to the original heroes and works quite poorly without Lelouch.

Shame Fukuda is directing it with his racist antics recently, big skip.

@kazumayanagi I could say that you watch the show he directs, don't take advantage of his political analysis, but first of all, how involved is he in the show outside of the directing itself?

@RobertBobert I found it, It took some digging and an ass load of reading but I don't think hes overly racist in any way, he mentions respectfully that he doesn't like the rise of feminism and that we should be respectful of everyone's views on this issue, he also in a recent animation directed by him ' Fukuda Mitsuo ' he replaced the traditional japanese flag with that of the Rising Sun Flag of ww2 regarding a scene shot in korea, in the animation: GPX Cyber ​​Formula Saga, the change was in the BlueRay DVD release, and is a woman waving a flag at a rally.

I don't think this change makes him racist, at all, hes just japanese making a japanese anime, Japan is a traditional country, this type of shit is normal.
