HQ video, looks great

>mission accepted
>not complete
movie? OVA?

oh shit, we're gonna see Heero and Relena get married.

>>280890353 (OP)
I keep hearing about how stupid FT was, but Wing was already pretty fucking stupid by itself.
Was it really that much worse?

>>280890371
Oh my god this is SICK. I cant believe i just got hyped over Gundam Wing of all things.

we're actually getting a new wing show, they wouldn't animate new stuff and modernize the suits for a teaser only.

>>280890353 (OP)
I cautiously optimistic, FT is kind of a mess but if sunrise can fix some of the wrongs it did then I'm fine with it.

relena wearing the same outfit in other 30th promo images, they clearly animated a lot of stuff so might be a show, might be a movie.
>mission accepted
>not complete
so it's something.

>>280890371
Why are the Gundam wearing cloaks in the last part?

>>280890968
Google "Frozen Teardrop"

>>280890371
what the flying fuck, this looks incredible. I fucking hate japan, just adapt the leftover of gundam wing.

>>280891282
It looks good because it's only a short video, sunrise has already shown they no longer have the means to maintain quality even with a 12 episode series.

>>280891372
it's been awhile, how many episodes would tear drop require to be well animated? gquuux fucking sucked, i'm dying for another gundam show that'll have a fanbase that lasts longer than 10 years again.

>>280891282
they are going to. the video ends by saying mission accepted, and wing ended with heero saying "mission complete".

OVA, or 12 eps.

>>280891469
Would 12 eps be enough to cover tear drop?

>>280891496
12 eps is plenty if they do pacing right, 24 would be nice but 12 seems to be Sunrise's trend lately.

>>280890371
wtf that actually looks like crisp 90s animation, they did a great job recapturing how endless waltz looked.

>>280890353 (OP)
honestly if they don't do it know they might never

>>280890353 (OP)
doesn't Frozen Teardrop take place like 150 years later or something?

>>280890860
the animation in the anniversary video is absolutely insane, probably just because its so short but man you think about the craziest shows you've ever seen and you can always imagine better if a show got the CM $ per minute ratio of animation

>>280891605
there is no way they did all these updates and hired all these people just to do a teaser/OP.

Wing is fucking garbage.

But of course the Toonamibabs are already waking up and hyping this shit up like its the second coming of christ.

>>280891655
I'd rather watch Wing than Hathaway's pitchblack cgi shit.

>>280891655
you wing haters are so sad, it's a beloved show in japan too but nooooo it's toonami its only popular because toonami reeee

>>280891655
Wing is the only Gundam I've ever watched and I won't watch any other and there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it

>>280891585
No, it's like 20 years later. Duo is in his 40s or so.

>>280890371
Looks fucking good, they should do an anime of GOTL in this art style.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-ukwLjkXyE
We're clearly at the point where we can emulate cel animation perfectly.

>>280891692
>it's a beloved show in japan too
it doesn't even crack top 10 in polls. also the advertising for this announcement is specifically targeted at americans only

>>280890477
YOUR SIGHT
MY DELIGHT

>>280891762
>muh poll
LOL

>>280891760
why don't they try to make anime look like this

>>280891783
>claim something is beloved
>in actually, it isn't
>muh muh muh
weakest bait in the thread. don't make outstanding claims if you can't back it up

>>280891827
i'm sorry wing makes you shit your pants.

>>280891700
you should. early in the show:

>>280891870
>he says with poop-filled pants
>all because muh nipponese don't actually give a single shit about wing

>>280891910
Wing is a fucking trip.

this is absolutely an OVA or show.

>>280891910
context: she knows he is a gundam pilot and it's supposed to be a secret.

>>280891655
It's great actually, and I say this as a person who likes UC more.

It's a mix of spy-fi/mission impossible/wizard-of-oz combined with gundam, and that makes it fucking cool by default. The characters are indeed flat, but that's because relena, Treize, and Zechs are the real forces at play

also, in the video there are 3 versions of heero's unit shown.
>wing
>wing zero + custom
>frozen teardrop (cloak)
it's 100% *something* but whether it's a movie like freedom or a show, we dont know.

>>280890371
Sovl

>>280891372
I don't think Sunrise animators are capable of hand drawn Gundam animation anymore

>>280892121
>do it in the 90s with less resources
>can't do it 30 years later with more tools available
how?

>>280891022
>what if Zechs was a girl

>>280891700
you shouldn't be proud about being a secondary tourist

>>280892146
Zechs? More like sex.

>>280892173
>watching show when it was brand new makes you a tourist

keep seething

>>280892220
you're a secondary and a genre tourist, nothing wrong with that. no need to get defensive

>>280890371
>opening the parachute right before crashing
>completely unscratched
based heero

>>280890371
Just noticed that the artstyle changed when they got into the Frozen Teardrop part. A really good PV overall.

wing ends with "mission complete" and this ends with mission accepted so unless they are trolling, they are making something.

https://x.com/miru_9Q/status/1948623103090639268
Directed by Toru Iwazawa. Didn't expect that.

why the fuck are they teasing frozen teardrop? they don't have the balls to animate that batshit insanity.

>>280891530
There is a lot of recycling of old frames and animation tho, even for the promo pictures. Still, the new stuff looks solid, but to reach levels of EW art would probably cost a ton of money.

Cursed image.

I never thought I'd be hype for Wing ever again. How the hell did Sunrise pull it off?

>>280891655
My opinion of Wing has significantly softened after so many truly horrendous Gundams that have showed up since Wing.

>>280892138
>less resources
Despite the bubble popping studios in the 90's had a sizeable budget to work with but still had to cut corners hence why so many anime from that era re-used a lot of animations.

After the ugly shit of Gquuux, I'm glad we're getting good designs again.

we're so back

>>280892308
>completely unscratched
Nah, he has several broken bones and internal injuries as usual. He'll walk it off.

>>280890477
What could have possibly made you think that?

>>280890531
FT was like a distillation of every stupid fanfic idea Wing ever spawned, condensed and presented as being how things panned out despite it making no logical sense.

2d gundams look so sexy bros...

>>280891762
As you can see, nobody in Japan gives a shit.

>>280890353 (OP)
Cool, now show us the actual FT suits already!

>>280893240
And by that I mean Uncloaked!

>>280893240
Katoki about to unleash his full power of long long legs.

>>280893261
Why people hate on Katoki design again?
Apart his long legs and muh decals most of his work just fine as it is

None of this shit is "new" retard they're over 15 years old now.

Transition into Frozen Teardrop.

G Gundam deserves more than this fucking garbage.

>>280902460
The average episode of G unironically has way more stakes than Wing. Watching Wing is a good substitute for ambien though.

>>280890353 (OP)
Which Gundam series are necessary to fully understand Wing?

>>280903105
Not even Wing is enough to fully understand Wing. The only other thing I've ever seen where I thought they got it was Ace Combat 7.

>>280891655
don't be such a joyless cunt.

>>280903105
none of them, all you need to know is zechs is a char clone and that's it

>>280902460
G Gundam does not bring any kind of money.

>>280903105
Wing is standalone. If you've seen UC Gundam then you might get a kick out of how Treize speedruns and rearranges Char's character arc from 0079, Zeta, and CCA but that's not necessary to understand or enjoy Wing.

Scott McNeil looks so old now.

>>280891655
The Gundam says your taste is chronically shit

>>280890371
This is the single greatest thing to come out of the Gundam franchise since Turn A
>>280896778
Rhythm Emotion is better, particularly with the beeps being included.

>>280892901
G-Witch and G-cucks were terrible, but I can't in good faith rank Wing above SEED, 00 or even IBO.

>>280907710
IBO is shit though

>>280904942
He can still voice act at his own age. I'm thinking he will the voice the older Priest Duo while I see Ben Starr voicing the younger Duo, they are both Australian actors.

Also I miss Kirby Morrow the dude had too many personal demons due to his death.

>>280893975
Many of them are still around voicing or acting in general. I'm sure they will take any deal to avoid being replaced

00 was better

Is he right?

>>280910673
i hate you zoomers so much it's unreal how annoying and stupid you people are

I'm not expecting an anime to be honest but at the same time I am curious about Two Mix's updated song that apparently will be revealed in an "unexpected way"

Wing, Seed and 00 are all good. Ibo was ruined by Okada and g-bitch/g-cuuuuuck are a travesty.

>>280910966
I liked AGE's first half, too bad the second half was fucking shit.

Is Frozen Teardrop really 20 years after EW? The characters don't look that aged up.

>>280894565
Nein, Dorothy, my beloved...

>>280911200
They get cryogenically frozen because they get sick with some virus or some shit and they get awakened when the cure is discovered and the whole plot is an absolute mess that only exists to justify Heero and Relena getting married.

>>280910966
At the very least I appreciate what SEED was TRYING to do. A "modern, updated" take on UC's basic story feels like it could work really well. And I don't think SEED fails completely. Actually the Freedom Gundam is one of my favorite Gundams period.

It's not really until Destiny that the wheels fall off.

>>280890353 (OP)
>>280890371
So, what are we looking at here? My guess is a Pachinko machine.

>>280911200
It's their kids who coincidentally look like them.

>>280911200
The Frozen Teardrop cast here >>280894511 arent the same Wing cast aside from Heero (who got cryogenically frozen). Guy on left is Zech's and Noin's son I think, Trowa lookalike is a literal who assassin, girl Quatre is a female clone of Quatre, and last guy is Duo's son.

>>280909879
I mean, we already had Tri, Kizuna, Colon and The Begging. People were already sick of Adventure shit.

>>280910673
xhe is absolutely wrong

>>280903384
Char is so fucking zased

>Frozen teardrop
I don't wanna see Dorothy as a dried up hag. I hope it's not actually an animated project.

an outsourced 30 second clip means nothing you stupid retards

HEAVYARMS HAS TWO FUCKING KNIVES HOLY SHIT

>>280910966
Wing's a little schizo, but all three of those plus G are in my top 5

>>280911723
The whole song is new animation. If that's outsourced, I'd rather have that studio do the whole ass show.

>>280911628

Wow i'm actually excited for this.
Also a group has been translating the frozen teardrop novel.

>>280912624

I'm tired of manga, I want anime. Stop teasing us already.

I look forward to the potentially new ova/movie. But I still believe GWing has the most stupid story

Not calling you a liar but i did the bootleg fansub thing back in the day and never saw this mentioned anywhere before it was on toonami.

>>280903105

Remember when Gundam used random English for it's mobile suits?

>>280913703
lmao this is funny. They can use ai generated random text now

>>280890371
>beeps
Fuck yeah.

>>280913919
Most young Japanese know more English now than ever too. Using English is almost second nature for them, not so much the older folks. I remember when SEED had used Engrish as a second best alternative to random English.

>>280914028

Was Wing ahead of it's time?

>>280914138
No, the average person just doesn't realize how old ML is.

>>280914167
I think they were just lucky because they didn't know what kind of enemy filler to put on the screen.

>>280914112
>>280913491
Toonami came out in 1997, but Gundam Wing didn't air on it until 2000. Fansubs were available for it years before. It was the first anime series to become mainstream in the West before even having a dub.

>>280914138
Not abnormally so as far as science fiction goes, but it brings up a good question. Wing does predate UAVs like the Global Hawk, but there were a few UAVs prior

>>280914232
I don't doubt that taped fansubs for Wing probably existed (I know there were some for Zeta, CCA, and even as late as Turn A). But you have the facts mixed up. Gundam Wing is popular in the west because it's the first Gundam show to air overseas BECAUSE of Toonami. That's why the show gets associated with Toonami in the first place. It didn't get popular because people were buying fansubbed tapes...

>>280914232

I watched 0083 in the mid 90s but it wasnt subbed back then so i know it was probably available before it aired on toonami, what im saying is was it "fansubbed" before then because ive never seen or heard of anything like that from before it aired on tv here.
I would be interested in seeing it.

>>280914344
UAVs were just camera platforms with very few being used for destruction, of course when it was revealed how cruise missiles worked it totally blew people's minds back in the 90's. I know back in the 2000's when Predator and Reaper where exposed people freaked out. All they did was attach Hellfires to an observation drone and you made a killing machine. Of course today the mini drones and AI capabilities are the new hotness.

>>280911343
Gacha

>>280891700
Please please please watch 00 and Build Fighters. Those are my go to suggestions for zero baggage, easily digestible gundams for normies.

Tallgeese is just a big Leo

>>280914722
Leos are sexy as fuck.

>>280914722
Leos are just smallgeese

So Endless Waltz is the canon series for Wing? What does that make the TV series?

>Tallgeese ll and lll are just bog standard super Leos with super weapons.
Maybe the Leo is the best suit around?

>>280914692
>Build Fighters
Too bad every single BF entry after the first one is utter dogshit.

>>280909688
Unfortunately Canadian dubs are rare nowadays, and Gundam's been done with Ocean for ages.

>>280914232
>>280914358
>>280914381
Wing and X were fansubbed, but from what little research I've done, it seems like they weren't available through the larger online distributors which actually shipped tapes, probably because multiple groups fansubbed different episodes. You had to ship blanks to their PO box so that they could copy it and send it back to you.

I was able to find Turn A and SEED on Basedokaze's website though. But yes, I'm also interested in seeing these Wing tapes, as well as a release group to trace it back to.

>>280915315
>Basedokaze
can't believe this retarded filter is still here, I'm talking about so-yokaze fansubs obviously

>>280914989
>Maybe the Leo is the best suit around?
Leo is basically Tallgeese without Super Vernier (the thing that killed the pilot) and much more simplified system so anyone can pilot them also downgrade their armor protection to make them cheaper for masspro. Good thing aside from reduction of armor conpensated with a lot variety of weapon this make Leo jack of all trade and with ACE pilot one might stand a chance againts GUNDAM althought not too long.

Out of all the AUs, including that shitshow that just aired, X might as well be UC.

>1st gen drones can only walk and maybe shoot
>4th gen drones can set up AI assisted defense barriers and provide multi role combat actions as well as enhance predictive outcomes by utilizing the Epyon System
Just like IRL you can see the drone war escalate at a rapid pace in Gundam Wing.

>>280915982
Never watched Zeta?

Poor X, boring as hell in the beginning, copied Wing as a cope, cut short 15 episodes.

>>280916231
Zeta doesn't come close to Wing Zero's bird mode. Zero still has it's colony destroying buster canons at the ready. Zero looks like a real fighter jet and now that I see it, looks like a low radar cross section too.

>>280916008
The fear of UAVs replacing real fighter pilots has been a sci-fi trope for decades though

>>280914500
Iran had the earliest combat/suicide UAVs that they used in the Iran-Iraq War back in the 80s.

>>280916539

wait, is the whole OP new animation?

Frozen Teardrop is tied for the worst sequel novel of all time with that Final Fantasy 10 novel where he kicks the exploding blitzball and gets decapitated.

I can't imagine adapting it as a show. What a world.

>>280917627
Basically the mass population was injected with a half of a Fox Die style virus without them knowing. Relena was infected with the other half of it and on her death would cause the virus to fully activate and kill everyone

>>280917846
>Basically the mass population was injected with a half of a Fox Die style virus without them knowing.

Same thing eith Wild arms 2 and Tale of the abyss

>>280922673
Did Toonami even play the original japanese opening?

>>280921223
Wing had one of the craziest technology jumps in any Gundam to happen in such a short time. It's even worse in Frozen Teardrop because a lot of the shit in Seed Freedom is some how just less bullshit versions of what FZ has

>>280922708
Wild Arms 2 vocal op is peak, western americanized version is vastly inferior.

>>280923060
i dont know man... I just look it up and us op is still superior to me

>>280907710
Wing is like equal with SEED, Seed Destiny is a bad as people think OG Wing is, and Endless Waltz is so far above them that it mogs even their potential upper limit which they never achieved

>>280922708
What about Zeta Gundam? Do you prefer the American composed song or the Japanese made track?

>>280922673
No I'll have my safari Relena, thank you very much.

>>280923054
>Wing had one of the craziest technology jumps in any Gundam to happen in such a short time
Its said that Peacemillion already traveling to beyond solar system in AC 192 before Operation Meteor. so technology wise they're so advanced, also in Endless Waltz movie material to build Serpent is said to be mined from 13th constellation (Ophiuchus) lets say the closest distance from Earth 16 Cygni approx 69 light-years so based on this you can imagine their technological level. want more crazy stuff? original design of Libra main cannon said can be fired continuously like spamming beam rifle.

>>280922708
Absolutely untrue for Evil Zone, Bomberman Jetters, and Mega Man X4 though.
>>280923027
Sadly no, but they did sample music from the OST in their custom intro, the only other anime to get that honor was Outlaw Star (which was also composed by Kou Otani, coincidentally enough)

Never watched Wing. Is it better than 00? (my favorite Gundam so far). Haven't watched many Gundam shows, only 00(both seasons), IBO; GWitch, Reconquista, Thunderbolt and GQuxxx.

>>280921223
The Serpent was such a good suit

>>280923861
It's actually crazy to think about how alot of Wings most bullshit stuff was made before Operation Meteor. Then after it happened they ended up with shit like the Mobile Doll system, which is still the most bullshit Ai put into a MS and actually makes having real pilots pointless. Combine that with the Virgo which over all is still one of the best mass produced gurnt suits that actually are on par with early season Gundams

>Sequel to an old series
>Instead of being humiliated or cucked, Heero is as competent as ever, gets the girl and one of the most overpowered suits in the Gundam franchise
For all the shit FT gets, at least it isn't a humiliation ritual like most sequels and reboots are these days. With some adjustments, I think FT can work.

The fact it took them this long to realize people wanted more content for some of their best selling shit is ridiculous, Jap suits are a different breed of out of touch businessmen.

>>280925516
They think the West wants Gundam lesbos or adaptations of obscure UC novels when the West only wants more Wing, Seed, 00 and IBO. Crossrays is the reason why world wide releases of Gundam and SRW games are now a thing. It's nuts that Bamco figured this out before Sunrise.

What's with the narrative that Wing isn't popular in the East? No, is not popular as UC and SEED but nothing is popular as those two.

Toonami chads are the first generation Gundam fans in the US. If you didn't watch Gundam on Toonami, you are a zoomer secondary who learned about it from Twitter and ecelebs.

Why was Gundam wing farting at the end?

>>280926888

All 10 grognards who watched bootleg VHS tapes will hate you but you're mostly correct.

Its not like said technology magically exist out from nowhere at least not Newtype bullshit or alien shit in 00, its already established from very beginning of the story where civilization is so advanced they can space travel to distance galaxy, so them end up make MD System & AI later and further make them even more advanced is culmination of development said technology before Operation Meteor started is not out of place either.

you can't be this retarded...

BD sale comparisons only make sense when we're talking about BD volumes being sold concurrently while the show is airing. even then, it doesn't account for the availability or cost of those volumes. secondly, how are you supposed to accurately compare IBO's blurays which were released while the show was airing during its initial popularity window, to Gundam Wing's blurays which are competing in sales with previous reprints and physical DVD/VHS releases? meanwhile a poll accurately captures the public's interest in something at the timeframe the poll was done, and is completely independent from other factors (declining physical media sales in japan, people who record broadcasts, how well a show is actually remembered by the general public etc.).

no matter how hard you try to spin it, Wing was never as popular in Japan, especially among predominantly male audiences. even saying it was "popular in the west" isn't entirely correct, since it's disproportionate popularity is more popular in the USA than other countries.

>>280932981

There's a Mexican restaurant in my home town. People wait two hours to get a table.

It is unarguably the best Mexican food in the city, and they make money hand over foot. And do you know what it's rated on Yelp? 3.9/5. So yes, the polls lie every single day.

00 is childish nonsense, WAAAAY to cringe. It's also inferior to Wing because 00 is just the first 10 episodes of Wing drawn out to an entire series. Wing surpasses it in, well, 10 episodes and goes on to more mature topics. 00 is designed for 18 year olds to think it's better than Wing

>>280933738
>00 is childish nonsense, WAAAAY to cringe.
wing literally has invincible gundams made out of gundamium plot armor that are so fricking epic that they single-handedly destroy entire fleets and colonies while never being under any threat because they're just that fucking cool. i like wing but trying to pretend like its a mature war drama is really stupid.

00 is just Wing but in Iraq.

>>280933593
Those aren't Heero and Relena btw

>>280933806
The fucking dober gun used by the Leo can damage Gundams from episode 1. Trowa uses a beam cannon to blow up the Deathscythe halfway through the series. As the series goes they become increasingly under threat coming to a head with the Virgos being completely capable of destroying a Gundam. Keep coping 00kiddies

So according to these picture
Heero: japanese(hapa according to FT)
Duo: american or maybe aussie
Trowa: italian
Quatre: frenchie
Relena: austrian(?)

>>280931850
It's gonna be the most seethe and cringing Gundam since Victory. The rage fueled might be good enough new and old fans.

"The 19th century, but sci-fi" is an incredibly peak aesthetic. It's what makes Legend Of Galactic Heroes so good, too, or at least that's one of the reasons.

>>280917256
You're overreacting. I've seen the ending of FT and there's nothing on the level of Blitzbomb. Heero marries Relena, and Duo becomes the president of Mars with Hilda as his first lady. Those are big events of the ending. Everything else is minor and can be easily fixed. But Blitzbomb from FFX-2.5 had permanent impacts to Tidus and his relationship to Yuna that would ruin FFX-3.
