First new information for Requiem for Vengeance
some things were said before while other are new
>Is made with a "diverse international team" in mind
>Is said to be the team own interpretation of the Gundam world
>Will have many differences with the original OYW both thematically and designwise (even said "more differences than similarities")
>Said to be more "modern" while still keeping a retro-futuristic look
>Will be very different in style compared to MS IGLOO
That Zaku looks like a space marine and the Gundam looks moronic.
100% the Yamane concept art looked different and this is the western team own interpretation of it.
The Gundam doesn't look good in this half-assed Warhammer aesthetic. They needed to either go all in like the Zaku or or actually have a completely designer work on it like how they had different designers for each faction in 00, IBO, and WFM
Here's how you fix that Gundam design
>The biggest complaint I have for this design is it doesn't know whether to commit to hard angles or curved lines aesthetically. The lower legs are the worst at this, the bottom half being curved while the top is super angular. Go full angular to counter Zeon's curved aesthetic.
>Bring the brow above the eyes down some more, actually make the eyes look menacing instead of derpy
>Either make the v-fin larger OR go full Ez8 with the head design
>Might just be the angle of the image, but the shoulders look too small. Maybe make them like 20% bigger and lets see how they go from there
>The three beam saber rack on the back is dumb as shit, move the Beam Saber mounts to the side skirts
>On the topic of the skirt, the crotch and waist area feels way too small.
>The shield sucks, start over or just rip one from another OYW show
>Get rid of the faux toe on the feet
On another note I actually really like this White/Gray/Red look for the Gundam. Gives me vibes of that one White Prototype Gundam. The fact it has what looks like the Guncannon's beam rifle makes me think this is a spare suit cobbled together from leftover Project V stuff.
*yawn*
The Gundam looks like it was AI generated and touched up afterwards
Likely was.
Holy shit I’ve been trying to figure out why it looked so odd, cuz even other attempts at live action gundams I’ve seen by fan artists usually look more intentional.
So another Origin type AU OYW. Boring...
more like Thunderbolt
Yea now that you say it. This got major Thunderbolt vibes.
Thunderbolt. Origin. Zeta Define. 0083 Rebellion.... This just joins them as yet another retelling/alternate take on original events. Probably will be better than ZD at least.
At least the mobile suits in Thunderbolt looked good. The frick is this?
But Atlas looks like ass. It's their first freestyle design they did for that and my god it's just awful
Sigh.... Another Gundam show for non-Gundam fans... It's all so tiresome....
no they made it for the existing sub-section of existing Gundam gays that are 40K/"mecha must be gritty greebled" stock. So instead of let's try to get peeps who normally don't like Gundam at all to let's target a specific piece of the pie in existing Gundam fandom.
Those "fans" just endlessly rewatch MS Team or participate in Gundam discourse entirely by coasting off that one Gundam OVA episode they caught on Toonami decades ago. Or worse a homosexual who saw a clip on youtube and labels that emotion as the only "real" gundam.
Pretty sure the demographic of 40k is more than just American and overlaps greatly with those who don't likeNewtype/Jedi stuff in Gundam at all.
gundums bad
looking forward to getting my next zaku for the collection
Sounds like an absolute trash and moron who came up with it should be fricking fired...
>>Is said to be the team own interpretation of the Gundam world
who the frick is on the team so we should care about their fricking interpretation???

>own interpretation of the Gundam world
Ah, the G-saviour approach. That worked well in the past.
G-saviour had all it's lore written by Sunrise outside of the movie direct storyline, all the design were by Sunrise too.
And Yamane isn't part of Sunrise? moron.
Well, it was already over before it even started but this is more confirmation then
Zeek girls looks like THIS? https://www.instagram.com/celia.massingham/
... israeli? Zeeks look israeli??
Zeon
Zion
What the frick did you think ZEON meant moron? Space is the "promised land" and ZEON proposed that they were God's chosen.
>those Khazar milkers
Sieg Zeon
Fricking why. Was it really that difficult?
Anon, these are the same people who think it's too hard to design flat feet for
Legendary Godzilla

Yikes
Zaku looks okay I guess. Just looks like the Zaku but overly designed with too many greebles thinking that makes it look "futuristic".
Gundam looks absolutely absurd though. It looks like one of those knock off robot toys you'd see at a mexican 99 cent store in the ghettos.
I can't wait to see how much of a shit show this will be. It's going to obviously tank, and after shooting themselves in the foot, Bandai is once again going to go "SEE? The West doesn't like Gundam" and neglect everyone outside of Japan for Gundam content.
The Gundam's proportions and the stuff on its shoulders make it look like it was designed as the base of a later Full Armor form. Or at least something along the lines of Striker Packs.
>Is this the Gundam from the White Base?
...No. Why even posit such an idea? We can see the model number. Much like the aborted Breaker comic, I'm not sure who this is for. Setting it in 0079 seems like a good way to ward off normies and attract old fans, but the staff and art direction aren't really gonna put asses in seats
damn that gundam is fugly. the zaku isn't too bad but i wouldn't call it great either
Was Yamane even a good choice?
yamane did the EZ8
also he gets cred in the west for the cowboy bebop ships
Why do I feel like it's a G-saviour situation again when the CGI models are offmodel compared to the concept art?
But G-saviour was made in the late 90s and was by a small canadian studio, they have zero excuses here.
Why do people keep saying it was a Canadian movie? It wasn't. Polestar was based out of California as was Digital Muse. The only thing that happened in Canada was the filming. That doesn't make it a Canadian movie
it's a Canadian film bucko
Citation needed, please. Pulling shit from your ass does not count. Sorry, American, you are stuck with the film whether you like it or not.
It's a Japanese film.
I swear someone provided some input on this, but the CG models in G-Saviour, I don't think were supposed to be seen in turnarounds like how they are in this book. You can't really tell the proportions seem off compared to the lineart when in motion, also I think there was just a disconnect with the CG art team when it came to rendering what was drawn on paper.
CG models in G-saviour looks a bit strange when still but pretty good in motion / from certain angles. Hell this was 1999 too.
More boring UCslop
that gundam is genuinely grotesque
That Gundam is actually horrid...I do like the triple beam saber holster though.
It has a very "Americanized" look to its design
Nah its more of a euro look than anything since euro mecha designs usually have horrible proportions like this. The only blatantly American mecha thing is the head taking the EZ-8 design and tweaking it further because it looked like a football helmet a little.
i like the general design of the gundam, but the proportions and detailing feel fricked up so it doesn't look very pleasant to the eye
this would be great for a low budget ps1 game design
Looks like shit and it sounds like shit

>Said to be more "modern" whil-
looks whatever, i'll watch it no matter what because im moronic
Wow, I hate that fricking shield on the Gundam, and the skirt armor looks like ass, it's some real AI generated shit.
A beam saber rack for 3 looks cool though, and the vulcan on the back looks kind of cool, the beam rifle looks very modern while still maintaining the silhouette of the RX-78's beam rifle
That Zaku looks really nice though
This looks and feels like 343i-era Halo.
I like the antenna on the Zaku.
Since we got footage in July already, will we have this OVA this year?
Probably April next year.
what is this garbage
ALL I WANTED WAS MS IGLOO 2 season 2
Is this going to be set in the 08th series? Cause that gundam is giving me 08th vibes.
if there's an explanation about "we just mashed the bottom of a salamis onto a handle" or whatever so there's a good reason the shield looks like a shitty kitbash like Eva's "it's literally just the bottom of a shuttle" then I'll accept that shield, otherwise frick that bullshit up its stupid ass
I don't mind the zaku so much but that gundam is atrocious.
And why does every fricking OYW OVA always have to introduce YET ANOTHER gundam prototype that exists in parallel with amuro ray's Gundam?
What's the point in doing all these grunt stories if they're always going to end up getting a gundam by the end? I'd rather see a bunch of MS pilots being forced to make the best of their GMs. Even 08th MS had a whole team of ground gundams and eventually EZ8.
Actually now that I think of it, that's probably the main reason why I like Zeon so much. Other than the wacky new mobile armor of the week they get for the Gundam to beat up they really do just make do with mass-production suits like zaku, gouf, dom, etc.
>Shield has two large holes at the top
FRICKING WHY
>Other than the wacky new mobile armor of the week they get for the Gundam to beat up they really do just make do with mass-production suits like zaku, gouf, dom, etc.
Meh, later stories have gotten absolutely terrible in that regard. How many fricking Efreets or other special snowflake shit is there now?
I'd chalk it up to corporate meddling. It's like with Star Wars, and how every movie/show/game HAS to have a wookie or a desert world, because when the creators pitch their ideas to the out of touch corps, they go "well where's [insert thoroughly beaten dead horse here]??"
I do wish we'd get more GMs rather than Gundams but what can we do. I love the GM design but Zeon really is the only way to thrive if you're a gruntgay like me.
This is why Last Jedi is the best, since it at least TRIED doing new things, like the salty desert
I kind of rolled my eyes at it thinking, "of course we're in ANOTHER desert planet out of the infinite number of planets they could've chosen", but at least they did try to spin it in a new way. All shitposting about the new trilogy aside, I do appreciate when they tried to finally work outside the box, just a shame that that it was too late by then, along with them dropping the ball hard on certain things.
And frick the casino arc. The entire thing felt absolutely pointless, like filler episodes in a blockbuster movie.
>The lil' dinky minigun on it's shoulder
get ready for WOKE gundam that is ESG approved
Incoming decolonisationesque EARTH FEDERATION MUST OPEN THEIR BORDERS N SHIET tier plot.
>Director is some no-name who made a space marine thing on the internet
>Writer has exclusively credits making the worst bullshit children's content like Avengers: Assemble, Star Wars: Resistance, and direct to streaming LEGO specials.
Well, I know I don't need to watch it now. Cool.
I really like the backpack gear for this Gundam. The beam rifle is also an interesting interpretation. The proportions for the suit seem way off though and I'm not feeling the face. The shield is also just bad.
Honestly the Zaku isn't too bad. The head seems off and I'm not sure what it is. The size, maybe. And the snout seems to protrude too far.
The Gundam seems like something that could look good with a redesign for a gunpla down the line by someone else.
The shield is part of the Gundam's image and a shitty looking shield can break a design, especially in this case
the plot is written by a german uy would he romanticize Zeon? Unless he truly doesn't get it.
Even IGLOO directly shit on Zeon due to how they mistreat their test pilots with suicide missions
