After the success of G-Witch, expect less 52-episode Gundam animu, and more 26-episode and 13-episode Gundam animu.
It would've been better if they had more episodes to work with, but shorter anime is the norm now I guess.
I could expect it even before G-Witch aired.
Japanese animation industry is in deep crisis right now. Long shows are barely feasible.
It's one of the reasons why there are almost no toy commerical anime for kids anymore.
This. Like the only 50/52s left out there is the yearly PreCure series and the endless pipeline of One Piece?
Also Pokemon (though there are no yearly movies anymore) and Yu-Gi-Oh.
And obviously other endless stuff like Conan, Doraemon, Shin-chan, etc.
But generally speaking, it's dead as frick. Even OLM stopped shitting out a ton of shows at once.
Yea Pokemon's an oddball since you can argue that it's an endless series but also argue that it's more easily split into blocks. But yea the Yearly Movie stuff really was unsustainable if only for content production and amount of legendarily to make movies about.
Maybe NEW main character GIRL (that happened right?) for the post Ash era will eventually get semi-regular movies eventually but yea Pokemon Movies kinda look dead.
Hell we might be seeing the fricking 12 episode format becoming the norm which is just way too short for original works, unless you're doing an adaptation of a manga volume or two and throwing in the towel.
Even Pokemon is getting considerably trimmed down. The reason they stopped the Ash adventures is they couldn't afford running it weekly nonstop anymore. I don't know how long the new girl's show is gonna last but it's not gonna be for 4 years straight like Ash's seasons were.
>and Yu-Gi-Oh
There is no show running.
Damn, really giving the cold shoulder on the Rush Duel anime shows there
Not Yu-Gi-Oh
Cope.
You know what this franchise needs?
GUNDAMS ON MOTORCYCLES!
So Victory?
Yeee. We need a Victory sequel. Seed can suck my nuts!
Doesn't help matters how oversaturated the market is, Japan's birthrate is at a net negative, Japan's economy has stagnated since the Lost Decade, and /m/angaka are too oneyearwargay to experiment AUs, let alone other established /m/-related IPs and especially their own new IPs. Moreover, writers are still figuring out how to tell an /m/-related story in less than 52 episodes (hence why the original TV version of G-Reco was). Furthermore, Gundam relies heavily on model kit sales, and normalgays are running out of free time; they can't into gunpla/plamo. Lastly, the anime industry is rigged in favor of WSJ, which hasn't serialized a noteworthy /m/anga in decades.
>/m/angaka are too oneyearwargay to experiment AUs
We have x-men and that sengoku one right now + crossbone. Its just that no one wants to translate non-OYW (and to a greater extent, stuff contained between 0079 and char's counterattack) stuffs for english speakers.
I don't get. Are English translators all oneyearwargays, or are the licensors trying to impose oneyearwargayging on the rest of the world?
liscensors barely even touch gundam. Like, the gundam manga scene is so much larger (in that there are more distinct series) than the majority of comparable franchises its actually crazy. But because there are so many, licensors don't know which ones to pick up, and the majority are rather "small" (don't seem to have a big audience) anyway. Meaning the gundam manga translating market is 95% done by volunteers.
Now, on the one hand, this is good because we series translated that otherwise wouldn't be. But on the other hand, the translations tend to be very slow, often years behind and are highly inconsistent, being dependent on translators wanting to continue and nothing more important/popular/something they're more personally interested in coming along. For example, Zeonic threw a hissy fit about crossbone and didn't finish until some people got together privately and paid him for it. But those translations still haven't been released to the public, and in the meantime another translator group was trying to do the same series.
This also leads to the majority of translations being for new manga series, instead of continuing and finishing old ones. Leaving a lot of older series a fourth or half translated or even less. And this is for UC focused stuff. AU's get even less love generally (unless its something like WFM where they support it politically), particularly if its manga-original AUs.
cont.
And this is assuming the manga itself is ever finished. The IBO sidestory manga, for example, got canceled because the writer also wrote Bunny Girl sempai, which blew up. Basically, where normally there'd be 1 chance for a creator to bow out, since its getting translated there is two.
Right now, Zeonic is undoubtably the most skilled translator, but hes also very unreliable and is more in it for the money than the community (although he loves the influence it gives him there as well). There are some smaller people/groups like trafalgar log taking over individual projects like the IBO Urdr hunt story, which he does a good job keeping up with. And the sengoku one and xmen both have their own translator groups, but are very slow. But there are a lot of series that just aren't done/will never be done for various reasons.
zeonic scanlations is the only gundam translator and he's too busy sucking wieners
Digimon Adventure 2020 and Ghost Game were 67 episodes as far as modern anime goes
That's the point. GG ended without replacement. It's a void.
There was a replacement. Toshochu Great Mission
I miss the 90s and 00s
Good. Make writers have to tighten up their writing.
X bros, we're no longer short runtime freaks
F91 BROS????
x bros and f91bros... it has been a long road... but we have, after all these years, been vindicated at last
black sheep NO MORE
black sheep NO MORE
The truth is anime are shifting toward arc-focused production. Which I think is a good thing. If a series/arc does well, it might take a year or two but we'll get the next one. If its trash, it dies. Either way, with writing focused toward arcs, we should have less pacing trainwrecks or canceling issues like WFM or X.
I dunno that sounds the death original works and just converting anime production into just a promo machine for existing/ongoing manga/light novels.
at this point I couldn't care less.
Well I do
Cool. Have a cookie
>expect less 52-episode Gundam animu
We haven't had one since 2012 in Gundam AGE anyway.
SEED S3 will run for 50 episodes (including 10 recap episodes) and save anime.
>After the success of G-Witch, expect less 52-episode Gundam animu, and more 26-episode and 13-episode Gundam animu.
Considering 00 did shit all with 52 episodes and a movie this is a good thing
Define "shit all"
