Just announced at sdcc gundam wing panel.

>>23403450 (OP)>MOBILW SUIT GUNDAM
>>23403450 (OP)>More cloaked suitsThey're just trolling now.
>Frozen Teardrop mentionedGuess it's not dead after all. Funnily enough, I have 2 episodes left on my Wing rewatch so this came at just the right time.
>>23403450 (OP)If I remove the cloaks it's not just gonna be a featureless block is it?
>>23403462Just make a Frozen Teardrop anime already
>>23403498They pretty much confirmed they are. There was a new video at Comic-Con that focused on Frozen Teardrop and the woman handling the panel said this is a preview of their upcoming plans.

last like 30 seconds
>>23403512>>23403546The mobile suits better be fucking 2d then. I'm not gonna expect it to be at the same level of quality as this anniversary movie obviously, but if this is anniversary thing go all out for it. Hell just abuse the hell out of stock footage like Wing did if you have to, seeing the exact same footage of Heavyarms firing was funny.
>>23403562>The mobile suits better be fucking 2d thenlol
>>23403512What were her exact words?
>>23403581That last time that Wing was animated was back in Endless Waltz and hyping the crowd up for more animation.
Haven't finished the OG wing series yet so I might be getting into spoilers but I saw the 30th Anniversary Video on Gundaminfo Youtube. Who is this girl pilot? Is it for the EW series or this frozen Teardrop thing? Looks like a girl sibling(?) of Wufei?
>>23403612That's his dead wife
>>23403612Wufei's dead wife.
>>23403450 (OP)Wingfags, did we finally win?
>>23403597>20th anniversary anime for 00>30th anniversary anime for WingWe're eating good, AUbros.
>>23403635Meanwhile X will be lucky if it even gets a single kit next year.
>>23403642youre gonna get a new DX and ONLY a new DX and you will like it

They officially acknowledged her as canon during the panel. They have updated also for all the characters so they are definitely making new wing animation even if not frozen teardrop itself
Missed this shot until someone pointed it out.
>>23403655That Relena looks photoshoped in.
New manga set after the show
>>23403670LOSERBROS WE GOT OUR GLORY
>>23403653I'd honestly be OK if they release concept art for a DX Divider.
Just a DX with two beam harmonicas.
Just please anything but the God Gundam II treatment.
They should make an FT anime, but rewrite everything.
>>23403670They are making a 9 chapter manga not frozen teardreck
>>23403694>the woman handling the panel said this is a preview of their upcoming plansCalm down Wufei
>>23403696THEN WHY ARE THEY STILL MOBILE JEDI?
Which one's more powerful, Epyon or Tallgeese III?
>>23403612Wufei's late wife is named Nataku, so he calls his Gundams "Nataku" in her honor.
>>23403707power scalers deserve the rope but it's Epyon by a mile
That beam saber wasn't a fucking joke and the only thing in the setting that got close to the Buster Rifles
>>23403707Epyon has the zero system
>>23403450 (OP)What is this, something that happens in between EW and FT?
Who would thought that those tokyopop manga would be later officially made canon
Finally good designs. Unlike a recent show.
Unsurprisingly, that late 90s animation style translates really well to digital animation.
>>23403612>>23403618>>23403621BUt she's on the shoulder of a cloaked gundam ala Frozen Teardrop. When she first showed up here I could have sworn it was Nataku, but the FT Gundam has me thrown off.
>>23403670Oh I guess it is her.
>>23403562They don't even do 2D for their biggest projects like GQuuuuuuX, Hathaway and SEED Freedom, they sure as hell are not gonna bother with this one. It's time to accept that 2D mecha is pretty much dead at this point.

>and from this point forward in history weapons called mobile suits, including the gundams, were never seen again.
>never.
>not once.
>lol just kidding here are the children of the wing pilots who look exactly like them and they pilot the same suits but covered up in cloaks for no reason
Oh joy
>>23403747Yeah that new Altron is honestly throwing me off. No such thing was in FT (Wufei piloted a White Epyon that had a third leg attached to the arm as a "Dragon Fang").
>we will finally see Relena claim her prize
Finally a old childhood shipping dream completed.
>>23403757Gqux had lots of 2D shots, they almost got Obari too but he was busy with something else.
>>23403757WFM was mostly 2D, really good 2D at that, they can still do it when they want to, Its probably up to the director
>>23403760They made new weapons called giant robots. Very different.
>>23403757Freedom was a mix of 2D and 3D.
>>23403764It's not FT but a short Manga. Like the g gundam novella where Domon had a kid and got divorced
>>23403773I was talking about that cloaked Altron in the PV and in the OP. Shoulda clarified.
>>23403770>WFM was mostly 2DLol no.
>really good 2DDelusional.
>>23403450 (OP)>30th anniversary videoHOLY SEXO GUNDAMUUUU!!!!!! The Wing designs have always been the maximum degree of distilled Gundam essence and you will never convince me otherwise. Here's hoping for some more animated stuff
>>23403612Is that supposed to be a new gundam?
>>23403780And it still better have the big fucking cross gatling gun.
>>23403773>Like the g gundam novella where Domon had a kid and got divorcedI'm sorry. WHAT?
They blew up the best romance in Gundam?
\
>>23403794It still has it. YOu can see it there.
>>23403696They are deliberately teasing an upcoming wing animation. Even the end of the video has a post credits tease. She is already dead in the newly announced manga, so the only reason she would be included in this big anniversary panel in animated form is either a Gundam The Origin style OvA or literally Frozen Teardrop where she appears as flashbacks just like in the novel.
>this will have better action scenes than Hathaway's dark as shit cgi crap
Based Wing
They should hire that youtuber who makes 2D reanimations of Hathaway fight scenes.
>>23403809>It still has it. YOu can see it there.Talking about when/if they reveal the one in that new PV (or if it gets a model kit or figure).
Absolutely disgusting. Heero never smiles. He doesn't have emotions.
>>23403809>They blew up the best romance in Gundam?yeah....
its better if we all collectively pretend it doesnt exist
>>23403809>They blew up the best romance in Gundam?Not really. It's just the usual "Domon does something insensitive and Rain treats him coldly" gag they do a billion fucking times, except EOPs google-translated it and thought they divorced.
>>23403821He finally felt the rhythm emotion
God just adapt GoL, Everything I've ever heard about Frozen Teardrop sounds like absolute dogshit, I don't care how good the mechs are
https://files.catbox.moe/awalcq.mp4
Rate the 30th anniversary video.
Are we really getting a new anime?
>>23403817I still can't believe nobody at Sunrise went, "hey this looks like shit, can you redo it and make it brighter?"
Even the trailer for the 2nd movie still has them doing this shit.
>>23403832>laughingAAAA thats different!
Our queen Relena is the best Char clone.
>>23403821He smiles in the second to last episode when he and Relena have a moment before he goes to fight Zechs.
>>23403767>>23403772GCucks and Freedom were mostly 3D, they only did 2D for money shots or MS that appear so little they didn't wanna bother making 3D models for them.
>>23403830This is Katoki's chance to cum
>>23403843He was just faking it to calm Relena down.
>>23403830Frozen Teardrop is rough around the edges but has a lot of good stuff in it. It's biggest issue is trying to be a sequel, prequel and interquel that covers like 50 years of history. There wasn't enough room for everything to breathe.
>>23403674What are the names of the kids who are the stand ins for wufei and trowa?
>>23403798How much of a Gundam nerd am I that I was able to immediately recognize this as EW Epyon based on the wings and center chest gem
>>23403846>they don't do 2D anymore>w-well they do but it doesn't count!!!!
I am feeling the same nostalgic feelings that seed fags when seed freedom first footage came out. Look at this updated HUD in the same animation style as 1995
>>23403760That only applied to Earth. We're in Mars now.
>>23403870From left to right: Mille, Trowa, Katherine, Duo
>>23403870Trowa Phobos and Mille Peacecraft (basically genderbent Noin)
>>23403870Mille Peacecraft (son of Zechs and Noin, trained by Wufei), and another Nameless kid who picks up the name Trowa Phobos.
>>23403694I bet even your own family hates your guts and can't stand to be around you.
>>23403674Is that a female Quatre...
>>23403890Post tits or gtfo roastie.
>tells sunrise to stop fucking around and make an FT anime already
Kneel.
>>23403875I was referring to the entries no longer being mostly 2D, the same way I wouldn't call a 2D mecha show with a few 3D scenes a "3D mecha show".
>>23403914Test tube sister, but yeah.
>>23403860Fuck that I will never forgive that bullshit about Duo mistreating Hilde
WHERE'S PROTO ZERO AAAAAAAAAAAA
>>23403512>episode zeroKino
>frozen teardropDear god please no
>>23403930>duo mistreating hildeMore like Hilde abusing and gaslighting her son because of resentment towards Duo
>>23403929All of his sisters are test tube babies. He's the only natural birth and it killed his mom.

>>23403879the hand controls and the physical orb are okay, but the angular extra sub displays and the UI are too modern looking
>>23403930>>23403935But they were such a fun couple in the show. That's needless bad drama
So are we getting a Frozen Teadrop anime?
>>23403879>>23403948the old UI for comparison
>>23403948That's because it's Snow White's cockpit, not Zero's. Of course it's more modern.
Heero even has his Frozen teardrop jacket on, to further prove the point.
>>23403880damn, this is a good vernier shot.
>>23403920No you absolutely would.
>>23403760>covered up in cloaks for no reasonMars is VERY dusty friend
>>23403760Technically they're called Mars Suits and not Mobile Suits.
Though they apparently salvaged the original Epyon and gave it a new arm, so yeah...
And who knows how the fuck they built Black Wing Zero.
>>23403981I remember someone saying that it was built from parts salvaged from the self-detonated original Wing Zero.
>>23403450 (OP)I hate FT and Katokiโs designs so much, and Iโm a Wingfag.
>>23403956I thought the suits in OP's picture confirmed they're the old gundams, not the new ones, it even says wing zero
>>23403450 (OP)Sandrock has the scheherazade faceplaye for some reason. The video was fucking stunning, please sunrise, I would even buy the fucking DVDs.
>>23404027Name change or placeholder names, no one knows yet, so I'm going by the novel names.
>>23404032Wufei's supposed to be using the Epyon Bai, but that's clearly the Altron dragon arms. Snow White should have that stupid magical buster crossbow too, not twin buster rifles
another redesign? or are these gonna be some sort of "in-between" designs, like snow white prelude?
>>23404032Easy, the entire FT novel will be retconned like nuStar Wars.
>>23403674Who's the left-most character again?
>>23403904Considering so many people are expecting/thinking a FT anime announcement after this video, I wonder what the "unexpected" way is, a new Gacha?
>>23404051Mille Peacecraft, the son of Milliardo and Noin.
A new Wing anime would be a great way to rekindle westerners with Gundam before the eventual live action Gundam.
Kinda weird that they left out Mariemaia.
>>23403450 (OP)with that short video they must really be testing the interested for a frozen teardrop movie adaptation
And the reception is very good so they might finally do that cursed adaptation
>>23404066Are you genuinely retarded? Gundam is more popular in the west than its ever been
My only complaint is that I already know the cloaks are going to be gigantic plastic shells and it means the boxes are going to be absolutely enormous to fit them in.
Honestly very surprised at how faithful they managed to make the characters and mobile suit looking even with modern animation
It would have being very easy to make everything look more ยซmodernยป but also not as recognizable
>>23404066With all due respect, Wing these days is only popular with 30-40 years old westerners, especially Americans (I know that at least one country of Europe was really into SEED instead so itโs not all western countries)
Taking bets on how and why Meilan is standing on the new cloaked Altron in the FT segment
>She's the new design for Kathy Po, Epyon White is replaced by this new Altron.
>She's a spirit/ghost, Epyon White is still replaced by this new Altron.
>It's a flashback, but I have no fucking idea how that could work.
>>23403674Katherine looks so cute with her glasses like that.
>>23404128Yeah, the Prometheus-stealing bitch that she is.
Nah, she's better later on. Even pilots Scheherazade.
It's been 15 years and we still don't have clear lineart of Snow White and Warlock.
>>23404143Because Katoki wanted to save it for an animation.
>>23404151Are we getting an animation?
>>23404154uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
https://x.com/sattou0/status/1948667405716389963
>>23404155I'm getting conflicting information from this thread.
>>23403450 (OP)Something tells me we aren't getting Snow White and Warlock, we're just getting slight remolds of EW suits and that's that.
>>23404165Nothing was announced about an actual Frozen Teardrop anime. People are just hoping the teaser in the anniversary video and new Wing stuff getting announced is leading to it.
Although don't forget we got Moon Gundam teased in a video a while back alongside all other animated shows and it was never animated.
>>23403821>Heero never smiles. He doesn't have emotions.Finish the series before talking shit.
>>23403932"Proto Zero" is literally the Wing Zero from TV, no difference.
>>23404283Moon Gundam at least got an HGUC kit.
>>23404288Actually there is a difference between the two, mainly the legs and wings.
>>23403674these new characters look intetesting
This isn't Earth, it's terraformed Mars.
I have heard that the FT Gundams are all bullshit broken. Is it true
>>23404495They're all just clones/genderswapped clones. Wat.
>>23404510I heard the snow white can shoot a flaming moving phoenix and the heavyarms one has a nuke
>>23404639>wu fei's wife>literally just girly-er wu fei
>>23404666They're asians so it's justified
>>23403946So they can still make anime look like that if they want.
>>23404690Didn't sunrise develop a filter for the UC gacha to look just like CCA and 0079? Shouldn't be that difficult for them to make one for 90s style
>>23403773It's not FT but a short Manga. Like the g gundam novella where Domon had a kid and got divorced
Funny because that's what happens to Duo in FT.
>>23403450 (OP)Why did they keep making weird intermediary FT designs that aren't actually from FT?
>>23403918I always assumed he was the hold-up.
>>23404841Katoki has the designs but he wont unveil them unless they make an anime.
>>23404937Is this true or just a dumb /m/ oldfag rumor?
>>23405183It's a rumor, but I don't think he's overlooked the possibility that the sequel might arrive one day and he'll have to make their designs suddenly.
He's probably already made some design proto to present at Bandai, just in case.
>>23404283The video at SDCC cut off the lady at the part where she says something . According to twitter from those who attended the panel they say its a teaser for a new animation project to be announced.
>>23405260Cool horseshit bro
>>23405260They were talking about Hathaway
>>23404666>my own clone, now neither of us will be virgins
>>23405291You joke, but that's literally the plot twist in Frozen Teardrop along with nanomachines and other bullshit.
>>23403880i ejaculated when the tallgeese scene played
>wing suits need cloaks due to Mars dust
>Barbatos goes bare
Mika. Literally the strongest protagonist.
>>23405360It's because of nanomachines.
>>23405364More like bitchmachines
>>23405260The video isnt cut off itโs over in this thread
>>23404720
Funny how people forget there's actually TWO Heeros and the clone is the alpha
>>23404122Maybe it's a clone.
>>23405229It's not a rumor, though. Apparently Sumizawa put him on blast about it in the final volume of the novel series, but I haven't found anything. Probably have to wait forever for Zeonic to get to it
>>23404639>>23404666>his wife was 14ZAMN
>>23405451>Literally female Wufei.It's okay to love yourself, but this guy took it a little too far.
>>23404119>that picture of a standart inner frame gives me early RG ptsd
>>23405451>Wufei was also 14LAME
>>23403984It's apparently really easy to make one. The Holy Brittanian Empire built three.
>>23405183>>23404841There's an old claim that he and the FT writer had some kind of fight going on during FT's novelization. Reportedly, the writer demanded Katoki turn in new designs that fit the novel, without a fair pay deal or something. Katoki maliciously complied by only offering the bare minimum; cloaked Gundams based on the EW designs with slight visual tweaks to them, stating he won't bother putting in the effort until Bandai greenlights FT, as they would actually be paying him then, and his efforts would actually be realized in model form.
It seems to have some kernel of truth to it; considering that Bandai also reportedly asked Katoki for anything he could turn out to promote Wing a bit, and he complied and created Snow White Prelude, still avoiding making any actual FT Gundam.
>>23404510Maximum bullshit; all of which makes the Turn A look lame. Copy/pasting a guy who copy/pasted from mahq and old threads here:
>All FT Gundams feature nanomachine tech and anti-nanomachine tech, but none of them are as OP/BS as Snow White's. But still close. Warlock (the Deathscythe successor) was the second most OP/BS described by the few English-speaking readers.>Tallgeese Heaven - Reportedly, the Tallgeese III with fancy, over the top wings and thrusters and a new rifle or cannon. Fans speculate it'd be the Tallgeese Flugel with more wings and thrusters. Was able to survive multiple attacks from over 500 mass-produced enemy MS for hours.>Epyon White - A white Epyon with a beam trident and a "third leg" Which makes sense in flight mode, but sounds dumb in normal mode. It has the head/leg thing attached to its arm like Shenlong Gundam. Uses a unique, red beam saber. Supposedly can release super-hot flames from its 3 mouths in MA mode, capable of melting through most materials not reinforced with nanotech.>Gundam Scheherazade - Sandrock with a new head crest and a slightly more feminine/slimmer design. Supposedly trades some of Sandrock's armor for increased mobility. Supposedly fights with a dance-like movement that evokes a belly dancer/harem dancer.>Gundam Prometheus - Blue Heavyarms with more missiles, including some that are nuclear-tipped, and a giant cross-shaped multi-weapon.>Wyvern Gundam - The black Wing Zero Custom with the waist wings.Warlock is also borderline BS, after Snow White.
>Immune to enemy nanomachine tech.>Illusion system that can create tons of mirages like the moon, giant rabbits and clones. Only limited to the pilots imagination. Works better at night.>Can create Nanomachine clones that are solid to the touch.>Uses nanomachines of its own. It has used them to make 50+ clones and tens of thousands of bats to destroy enemy units.>Can transform into a fenrir/wolf form.
>>23406483What's roughly known about Snow White's capabilities:
Its Buster Crossbow is actually a twin-barrel type, was named "Seven Dwarves". It can fire, via special nanomachine magitech cartridges/canisters, a different elemental shot (fire, electric, water, wind, ice, etc) from each barrel, which can react with each other to do magitech stuff.
>Firebird - Fires off a vaguely bird-shaped mass of fire that can home in on targets.>Blue lightning - Can cause a lightning storm in the local area of impact, or combine with another shot to make a massive electrical beam.>Ice swan - Can instantly freeze anything within the AoE.>Black tornadoes - Creates a localized cluster of tornadoes at the target point, which can tear off armor panels on enemy units and damage nanomachines.>White emp storms - Creates a localized EM storm at the target point, which is powerful enough to disable comms and short electrical systems.>It has an earth-themed round that drills through cockpits.>It has an ammo type that binds you and causes your weapons to damage you if you use them.>It has an ammo type that shuts down enemies.>It can combine the elemental ammo to create unique and devastating effects.>It has enough power to outright put a hole in the moon (and reportedly does so).>The armor uses advanced nanomachine technology that would put the Turn A and Turn X to shame; being able to repair damage almost instantaneously (like DG Cells in G Gundam or Machine Cell Mecha in SRW). Snow White was NOT damaged by 3 POINT BLANK shots from weapons MORE POWERFUL THAN THE TBR.>It's so fast, it can create afterimages with speed alone.>It's immune to enemy nanomachine tech and anti-nanomachine tech.>Has a more powerful Zero System.>Some specula based on poorly translated excerpts imply that the SW's Zero System is now able to actually show the future in short bursts; instead of just showing the immediate predicted possibilities, it can also show the aftermath of said possibilities.
>>23406483>Tallgeese Heaven - Reportedly, the Tallgeese III with fancy, over the top wings and thrusters and a new rifle or cannon. Fans speculate it'd be the Tallgeese Flugel with more wings and thrusters. Was able to survive multiple attacks from over 500 mass-produced enemy MS for hours.Based on Tallgeese II, not III, according to the newly translated Volume 9. Mille mentions it while piloting Heaven.
>Wyvern Gundam - The black Wing Zero Custom with the waist wings.Wyvern is not a Gundam, it's a fighter that looks like Epyon's MA mode and was made before the original Tallgeese. Has an onboard AI called Sam. Black Wing Zero is completely separate.
>>23406472>It seems to have some kernel of truth to it; considering that Bandai also reportedly asked Katoki for anything he could turn out to promote Wing a bit, and he complied and created Snow White Prelude, still avoiding making any actual FT Gundam.Is that really true? Because Prelude appears on one of the volume covers for FT which predates the toy reveal. Pic related. They probably wanted an FT suit for the Metal Composite toyline, but I doubt they'd want to reveal Snow White in a toyline that isn't GunPla so they instead went with Prelude for Metal Composite.
>Reportedly, the writer demanded Katoki turn in new designs that fit the novel, without a fair pay deal or somethingThat claim doesn't make sense. Some of the new suits do appear in some covers and art in FT.
>>23406487Snow White is so based.
>>23405451>>23406185Can't air it in Japan now lol.
>>23406487>>Some specula based on poorly translated excerpts imply that the SW's Zero System is now able to actually show the future in short bursts; instead of just showing the immediate predicted possibilities, it can also show the aftermath of said possibilities.Oh my fucking god
Niggas.
