Wing panel at sdcc where all the announcements happened. While they did not straight up saying they are animating frozen teardrop they are definitely hinting it. The manga that links EW to FT is just the beginning. They obviously have intention to cast the same voice actors to reprise their roles. Also you can hear Brad doing his Gundam Rap.

I know we are all stone cold Orthodox sub enjoyers but I'll be happy if they do an animation and get all the English VA cast back. Hopefully they can all throw in a little more flare this time

On one hand the Wing dub fucking sucks but on the other hand it brings a smile to my face to see Bandai giving some love to the boys at Ocean Group even if its likely just for this one panel after completely ghosting on them for over a decade especially with Kospa's passing. The new SEED dub is way worse than the original.

This. Huge missed opportunity not bringing back the old cast for SEED Freedom even the last Eva Rebuild film brought back the old cast after replacing them for the Netflix dub.

It sounds like they are making preparations to produce a loosely adapted Frozen Teardrop animation similar to how Gundam NT is based on Operation Phoenix Hunt but only follows the basic plot points. The message from the JP voice actor Midorikawa for Heero during the panel is hinting that it will depend on how well the 30th anniversary projects perform which is why he is encouraging fans to make noise. There is upcoming 30th stuff that hasn't been announced yet maybe new merchandise from this manga, so perhaps when the new manga ends weโ€™ll get something for Wing 35th after the Live Action movie.

I hope so too. I just don't have a lot of faith in Bandai to actually do what fans want. I also have zero faith an anime of Frozen Teardrop would be anything but a dumpster fire since the whole thing would be built on a rotten foundation but it would be neat to see Episode Zero adapted.

That's literally what Frozen Teardrop was from the ground up, a sequel novel series made with intentions to animated later, the only problem was that unlike Unicorn it was poorly recieved and they essentially tried to downplay elements connecting to it as a result. The fact that its been over a decade and we still know what the main Gundams look like says a lot. I doubt they have serious intentions to adapt it given everything that's on their plate now but the fact that Wing is still getting pushed is a sign that they'll scrap to the bottom of the barrel of they have to.

Wing is only "big" in the US and even that can be contested because the demo that still cares about are in 30-40s from a general anime fan perspective WfM is way more popular and relevant amongst people who didn't grow up in the 90s or watched Toonami.

Why do people keep saying this stupid shit? Wing gets more merchandise than any other Gundam series in the west. I don't care how you try to rationalize it, that's what happens. The Gundam Universe line is built around Wing. Witch has like 2 figures in that line. Wing has more figures in that line than nearly every other AU combined. Nobody is actually buying Witch merchandise. Posting fanfics and pictures on the net doesn't make Bandai money.

No it fucking doesn't. This isn't the 00s. The franchise is a lot bigger than its ever been now and we're getting simultaneous releases directly from Japan moreso than ever before. Wing doesn't get any special treatment compare to others even this fucking panel didn't have any exclusives.

That's a HG kit, they decided to go all-in on making P-Bandai HGs of everything from G-Unit because the manga continuation started up around the same time. The only major suit they're still missing is the Hydra Gundam.
>WfM can't even get its supporting characters' suits.
Which ones? Every major suit's accounted for across retail releases and P-Bandai except for the Prodoros.

The Gunpla and most of the character merch save for Shaddiq's sold really well. Why do the people here keep pretending Witch was a failure that's only popular with western Twitterfags? It was a mainstream success.

? You must be thinking of different post. This was a reply to Wing isnโ€™t getting special treatment . There has been no seed PB that became a regular release item after being PB first.
>>23405103
MG Turn Red, Avalanche Exia,XN Raiser, hi res Barbatos 6th form, PG red frame Kai were released as both Pb in Japan and regular retail outside japan simultaneously as part of experimenting sales for countries that did not yet have PB shop at the time. They were not made retail after being on Pb first like these wing releases.

I never said it was a failure. This is about whether or not it has replaced Wing as the face of Gundam in NA and "way more relevant". If that was the case it'd be the face of the NA toyline. Instead, it has 2 suits while Wing and Unicorn are being used to advertise the Renewal line. Even then Unicorn is a rerelease while Wing is 2 new suits.

FOMO anime spikes are a very real phenomenon nowadays in the age of streaming. I think Witch is just OK and so is GQux but you have to take that FOMO shit into account. Wing hasn't been a thing over 20 years so it definitely has legs for nostalgia to be so strong with it. Besides, there are now so many worse Gundam shows that Wing is effectively just mid at worst nowadays.

I'm trying to understand the idea that Wing isn't popular. Even in Japan, it was the Persona 3-style reboot of the franchise (or maybe P4 if you want to be pedantic). The reason you have TWO boy bands in SEED (the Le Creuset Team and the Druggies) are because they looked at why Wing (but not X and Turn A) drew in the fujos and kids who grew up on PR/SS and realized, "Oh, it's that." And then immediately after, you get 00. And in-between, E7 Cowboy Bebopan and Code Geass with similar levels of "psychotic pretty folk doing psychotic things". And then they tried to reboot UC with AGE and it flopped again. Sunrise knows how its bread gets buttered.

no im just trying to trace out this bizarre stream of consciousness you had that starts with Wing being popular then pivots to a video game that didn't even exist until 13 years later then boy bands in seed (?), then back to Wing (but not Turn A or X), then pivots to power rangers and sentai "and Oh it's that" and then 00, Geass, Cowboy bebop, eureka seven "with similar levels of psychotic pretty folk doing psychotic things" then UC and AGE and then you finish off your word salad with a nice helping of butter and bread.

maybe im just too old, i come from the pre-reddit generation where we actually wrote out our thoughts in complete sentences instead of just listing off all our favorite anime and expecting that everybody knows which specific internet meme is primarily associated with each show.

Stop pretending to be retarded. It wasn't that hard to understand. It was relating a popular entry in one franchise to another popular entry in a different franchise. Stop taking whatever medication you're on because it isn't helping.
