Seems like Bandai Namco America is going to go big with Witch from Mercury. Will it have free episodes on YouTube like IBO and Build?

Weren't those more for the SEA-english audience? If it's Bamco US going all out they'll dub it and insert urban rap music.
No one does the latter anymore, if anything they’d not do it cause it’s cheaper
They never did that, even with Wing
It took them 20 years but they finally learned that hardcore Americanizing anime for 3 year olds to hopefully find while channel flipping is not really a stable business model. Plus no networks really air anime on US tv anymore, so only people that look it up on the internet will see it.
>If it's Bamco US going all out they'll dub it and insert urban rap music
That joke is a solid decade too old to be relevant.
Where have you been?
What. Is urban rap music not popular anymore because Will Smith slapped the funny-guy?
You are trying way too hard, anon.
Name some localized anime that have urban rap music after the Will-Smith-slap then.
Name some that had it before.
you're on /m/, this board is frozen in time
What does that even mean
if you don't understand that, you haven't been here long enough
When has this happened with a gundam work?
never, he probably thinking of the gundam wing promos with linkin park (RIP Chester) music in cartoon network from 20 years ago
>If it's Bamco US going all out they'll dub it and insert urban rap music
When has any anime done this?
Except the chads of Sunrise studios never let any of their works undergo anything close when they allowed the Americans to dub their series.
Not one adaptation. Because they aren't Toei.
Unless it's from the dead 4Kids, nobody does that shit anymore.
When is the prologue supposed to come out?
in two weeks
Does it mean the board will get cooties?
why is there no bandai namco canada
canada is part of america
I fricking wish, I'd love for Americanism to take out my shitty government
Most Canadian post going.
They better get McDonalds onboard.
They got Jollibee for Hathaway, don't be surprised if at one point, Suletta goes to McDonalds with the other house aces.
Please. They're rich butthole top of the class shits. They're clearly going to Chipotle.
for some reason I'm thinking Checkers does the Gundam product placement
and they do two versions where they shoop in Rallys west of the Mississippi
Err.. Guys
Damn Putin.
At least he didn't rebrand it as WcNaria or some shit.
FRICK Jollibee and frick Philippines
McDaniels forever
>leaving your gloves on to eat a hamburger
Haman looking like she about to frick that hamburger baka
I was actually at the anime expo bandai booth today. Their limited edition lineup is shit except for fazz. What a waste of space
>last shooting
>head and arm
shigga higga
Didn't the require masks at AX? Surprised to see a few people not wearing them. The reason I didn't go this year was because the mask shit.
Is anyone here going to the VIP Gundam panel thing?
Someone ask Bandai Namco as to why G-Reco is marketed so poorly
Man I can't wait for bleach to come back
Should be getting the new trailer tonight during/after the panel, with some new music. Can't fricking wait.
So that white/purple kit had two swords at the AX display case while in previous pics it had no weapons at all, so that's kind of a new reveal.
I wonder if those are supposed to be physical or shaped beams
If they were physical we would have seen them on the website
>If they were physical we would have seen them on the website
the kit at AX not only has the blades, but the gauntlets/gun pods/blade emitters on the wrists that haven't been shown before (all the previous pics show it having nothing in it hands or on it's wrists) so it could still go other way on the blades being physical or beams
if they were beams they would have been clear parts
Aerial fell over on the last day, here's a look at the taint
woah spoiler that nsfw shit
Nice butthole
thanks
It's actually nice to know that it has a 3mm hole down there because Bandai is surprisingly inconsistent with that.
>grunt style shirt and cargo shorts
anon you’re boot as frick
I just noticed they made the Witch from Mercury title way larger than the Mobile Suit Gundam one.
It's a smart decision if they wanna get new viewers.
Anything new?
It's like that in the official material
https://g-witch.net/
https://en.gundam.info/about-gundam/series-pages/witch/
Pretty sure it's the case with IBO as well
They have been doing that since IBO. It’s a shift in marketing strategy for a new audience.
So any new /m/ news?
They just showed what they've already shown in Japan. Don't expect any actual news until the 14th since that's when they have a big event in Japan in the Gundam statues and the premiere of the Prologue.
Well nearly the entire macross catalogue (minus SDF even though it’s been licensed here already before and more importantly DYRL) got licensed including the long awaited macross 7 USA debut release
Of course, the American public is gonna go head over heels for the first ever Gundam with a female lead.
Seems like they're showing the G-Witch prologue at San Diego Comic Con. I hope I'm able torrent this soon.
5 days away from the prologue screening, lets hope it appears online soon!
I wonder what it will be about. If anything i suppose its going to explain the setting and how Suletta gets invited to the academy, probably involving her piloting the Lfrith.
It'll probably show up on gundaminfo in August.
I hope the show is fun.
Dear god I hope.
This doesn't bode much confidence.
https://twitter.com/G_Witch_M/status/1546464329054265344
G-Witch Prologue will be shown online
We need a waiting thread
It will be shown online in some metaverse thing.
Soon
Will Suletta have a girlfriend?
Yes
If G-Witch is probably done by Studio 1, does that mean they are allocating Studio 3 for the SEED movie?
The better question is why did you even think Studio 1 would be doing Seed when they haven't done a single AU since Endless Waltz.
Studio 1 is probably doing G-Witch; the producer is Naohiro Ogawa from Studio 1, who worked on Unicorn, Thunderbolt, Narrative, G-Reco, Hathaway, etc.
2 more days!
Maybe after it's finished airing.
I don't know why they even bother with the YouTube uploads, Youtube is so fricking unprepared for that kind of content
>Gundam Shiggy Doggy Episode 1 - I Seriously Hope You Guys Don't Use YouTube (EN, KR, JP, ES, FR, RU, CANADIAN SUBS) (ENG DUB)
>Has to upload another video for the JP dub, meaning the channel ends up looking like a fricking mess of duplicate playlists and the video tab is completely swarmed with episodes
>No easy way to view the schedule or click through to the next episode
YouTube fricking SUCKS for this kind of content and if anybody at YouTube cared they'd notice
Imagine being too moronic for youtube.
They didn't do simuldub you fricking moron. Watching it as it's uploaded is the easiest way to do it.
Youtube is already working on multi-audio videos, but looks like it's just available for a few channels at the moment.
24 hours left!
Im fricking stupid, is this going to be streamed offline somewhere? I cant find any links for that, where to watch
I assume, it'll be live on gundaminfo, right? Same time or uploaded later?
https://gnf-ltu.bandai-hobby.net/?_ga=2.3477301.468281383.1657766803-193594139.1651197684
Thanks for debunking the misinformation!
It's because they showed stuff from the live-action movie. A girl talked about it on her Twitch.
Theres a big lack of anything about anime expo actually.
they didn't show anything
God if that isn't a sign that it was designed with a more 'international' appeal and woke as shit nothing is.
You are moronic
Go sell you gunpla and lick the boot.
have a nice day
I hope the MC isn't cringe.
It's not even airing online why are you excited?
Am I not allowed to be excited or have fun anymore???????????
What is wrong with this world????
Any news on the prologue? Did anyone rip it?
The first screening at the Gundam Base was like 25 minutes ago. Maybe there's a camrip out somewhere?
pffffttttt
Not those other guys, but dude do you want another Bellri??
Is the prologue 30 minutes, or an hour?
Divers prologue was like 15 or so.
By the way, that was posted straight to youtube. Sucks that the Witch one isn't.
>bayo 3 trailer
>witch from mercury
Everything is coming up witches
That's a balloon? Holy shit.
You can watch it online but you have to go through hoops.
Tell us merchant.
https://twitter.com/HobbySite/status/1547415681666535424
You have to watch it in some virtual world beta test for their metaverse thing.
Well fricking do it and record it for the rest of us, will ya? pretty please
new strike witches too
5 hr to go
Do we know what the prologue is gonna be exactly? Just a short video explaining the setting or something?
It has the prototype of gundam aerial. Will probably explain why Suletta gets accepted to hogwarts instead of attending class in the space boonies
We know the Lfrith and the Beguir Beu are going to be featured, so i'm guessing we will have some sort of plot at the very least, aside from the traditional introduction to the setting.
I'm expecting something like
says. Suletta probably ends up piloting the thing, defeats the enemy (probably the other MS), original pilot is impressed that a newby did it, and gets invited as a test pilot.
I'm also curious who will be the VAs.
Mercury looks like she'd be voiced by Aoi Yuuki.
My personal bet is Tomori Kusunoki. Just for the Gundam memes lol
This jp channel doing a live reaction.
So... When it should start?
Very soon, I thought I'd be blocked off but we've just gotten a speech.
The event started on the stream they posted ago. So far just Bandai/Sunrise people talking.
>2D robots
>those action scenes
Mecha anime is saved
Happy birthday!
The PV looked fricking great, holy shit. Sunrise is going all out.
Happy birthday to you
Holy shit thats kinda sad
I got scuffed screenshots lads. I can share them unless someone has anything better.
Suletta Mercury: Ichinose Kana
Miorine Rembran:Lynn
>Ichinose Kana
Ichigo
Shion too
"How heavy you want to start new gundam show?"
"Yes"
Holy shit, banrise
Post some pics.
From the PV.
Here you go
Cute
Dead mother soon?
Probably, her father got gundam'ed first. just wait until the series start aired, then we know what happen to the mother
PV
anybody got a mirror of it? Japan only
>not available in your country
It's all so tiresome.
suletta/eri's mom is a hottie, bros it's gonna live up to Tomino
Shield funnel bits!
Sorry for the shit quality lads
I guess Suletta's mom pilots this one?
The PV starts with her in the wienerpit but it's piloting system is rejecting her. Later on the scientist lady who seems to be the gundam creator in this AU shows it to Suletta/Eri and that's where she's hanging out when the asteroid this is all set on comes under attack. Mom comes to get her and it turns out the Gundam DOES accept Eri, so off they go piloting together to defend the place.
>Literal toddler pilot
Sounds interesting
Wondering how far the tech progress will go as the series airs. The first Gundam we see already has shield bit/funnels and also an i-field thing(?) as well as the grunts all using beam rifles. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets as flashy as 00 S2.
We've seen very little of earth, so they've definitely got the room to crazy.
How long until someone rips the video and subs it? I’m not waiting a fricking week
>I’m not waiting a fricking week
yeah you are lol
It has been ripped but fansubbing is dead bro.
I find it hard to believe when Rider and Sentai get a sub in like a day.
why waste energy on something that is guaranteed to get an official release?
Anime fansubbing is dead, live action is still alive because there's always a fanbase and no one wants to license dramas and such.
Which I find disappointing because there's a lot of anime thatn have yet to be fully subbed.
Name some of them.
It's been rip 720p but chink subs, we getting closer and closer to better rips
>better rips
The stream maxed out at 720p and wasn't even real 720p, it still looked like shit.
You're not getting anything better.
I wonder if bandai want to upload the prologue into gundaminfo.
This all takes place on Eri/Suletta's 4th birthday meaning she has the earliest confirmed kills of any MC. She's coming for your record Uso.
The stuff on her face isn't a reflection btw. As above these Gundams seems to be partially psychic. Her dad takes one out at turns into the guy from Bebop episode 1 (and dies natch, but not before getting this like cyberspace vision?
>earliest confirmed kills of any MC
Exactly what I was hoping for from a FemC.
I've only seen the PV and not the prologue for now, do we know what's going on with this shot?
Seems like it's receiving Suletta.
So Aerial's sentient then?
The Lfirth however its spelled and the Aerial have an advanced AI and Suletta awakened it. I guess the Aerial is just using the Lfrith's AI.
Me thinks the Aerial Gundam is just the Lfrit rebuilt/refurbished.
Would explain why they look the same.
The Gundams in this one have some synchronization thingy, probably first time jitters. This raises the question why can Suletta pilot the Lfrith first try but it'll probably be some mundane or boring explanation.
The aesthetic in the episode was awesome. For me, it somehow felt one of the most futuristic out of all the Gundam series. Also, blue as the protagonist beam colors? Very nice looking. The ending was really great, too.
I CANT TAKE IT WHERE ARE THE SUBS THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD
Frick I gotta go eat. Not getting a feel for how many people actually saw it.
The main Gundam tech seems to have been originally created for robotic implants and other health-related uses but then it ended up being used for mecha.
I'm guessing only Gundams have these, and not all MS?
Yeah, they're a new and dangerous tech because:
The villain in the Prologue is Suletta's dad that attacks the laboratory that discovered the Gundam tech under false war crimes accusations in order to monopolize the Gundam technology.
So who's the dude who died then? He has far more of a resemblance, even got her eyebrows.
I fricked up the names. The villain is Miorine's dad. That's Suletta's dad.
Well, that's one detail explained.
I believe her father in imprinted into the gundam, that's why it tries to reach for her.
This is some Evangelion shit.
Write this down, at the very end she'll say she loves him and come to terms with it, them the gundam is destroyed.
That one is Miorine, not Suletta.
moron
Thanks. I don't speak jp so I was only following it visually so I'm not a total authority.
Yeah, no worries. They guy is Delling Rembran so obviously Miorine's dad.
That's Suletta's dad. The summary on Cinemaphile said it was Miorine's dad that's the villian, which makes more sense.
G-witch prologue in gundaminfo is tba, but its confirmed.
maybe after SDCC, so the 22nd at the minimum?
From what I've seen from the prologue and the PV, the colonies seen so far seem to be asteroid shielded instead of the traditional Gundam "naked" colonies. Kinda cool.
HARO CONFIRMED
Anyone know which countries I can watch the prologue? I got a VPN so all I need to do is turn it on and find the country.
>make the prologue viewable to anyone anywhere in the world
>don't fricking tell them
Certified Japanese moment.
>Date and time July 14, 2022 (Thursday) 19:00 opening / 19:30 start, July 15 (Friday) 19:00 opening / 20:00 start
You can watch it tomorrow as I don't think anyone recorded this.
Hopefully someone will record even in potato quality.
Having seen the prologue, the PV for the main series looked much stronger. The designs, drawings, comp, BG, everything looked better. And judging from the huge ass credits it seems that the prologue didn't have ample production time.
And one more thing, the OST is godly. We're in some good shit.
The Prologue wasn't by the TV show's main staff.
Good. It was serviceable but I wouldn't want a whole series to look like that. Which reminds me, I need to check out the new Spriggan to get a taste of the director.
The mecha action Prologue was strong, but I think what felt the weakest in comparison to the PV was the composite. The characters also look better in the PV.
who did the SB/ED for the prologue?
Yeah, the comp for prologue was very bland and boring.
Storyboard was the Kobayashi, but enshutsu was someone else.
OK, finally checked the credits. The episode director for the Prologue was Teruo Sato (Yashahime director) which pretty much confirms this is Studio 1.
Another anon said the prologue and the show arnt produced by the same studio
>the prologue and the show arnt produced by the same studio
I hope, some of the animation was really stiff and odd looking.
Same studio, different staff. I assume because the main character designers are working on the TV show.
You don't even need to look at the credits, it's distinctly the same style as thunderbolt and hathaway
This thing is sick
this looks so good and all the other non gundam MS look like shit
Guaranteed P-Bandai model
Reading over the Cinemaphile thread and holy shit, what shounen and moe-induced brain rot they have there.
Do not go there
They’ve already stopped actually talking about it and are now arguing about 86 for some reason
>arguing about 86 for some reason
There's a couple of dedicated shitposters that bring it up all the time for no reason, baby's first mecha or something.
no subs yet tho
lol what the frick is this thing
a murderer
holy shit you weren't kidding
Is Suletta's mom voiced by Mamiko Noto? If so, I hope she shows up later. Love her voice.
Yeah
the I-field equivalent shields were very cool
>the version that premiered at the event yesterday was edited
I guess that explains why they were some were cuts when characters died. Probably a bit of censorship since it was a public event in Japan. The online version they will upload eventually should be uncut.
Apparently someone uploaded fansubs on a facebook group? Does anyone here have access to that? Haven't touched facebook in almost a decade now.
no but I'd like to know more
They were the YouTube auto translate from the channel that got the copyright strike by Sunrise.
Here's the unsubbed video off Fb. If anyone that speaks moon could make a quick n' dirty translation I'd be grateful beyond words.

>Red hair, cute and big kill count
It's Nena Trinity all over again.
someone translate the fricking prologue ffs, i kinda regret not watching it on youtube with the shitty auto translation.
Just wait for it to drop on Gundaminfo
Witch of Mercury is going to be so huge it will get compilation movies, sequel movie and a spin-off OVA.
They already said that it's going to be released in GundamInfo in the future. They probably just want people to go to the screenings for a while longer. The screenings themselves are free, but they all take place in stores and shit and just want people to go, feel tempted to buy Gunpla, and buy it.
subs of the youtube crabsticks split because I only have unverified burner accounts
https://files.catbox.moe/n654t2.vtt
https://files.catbox.moe/qr1r5a.vtt
So is this series going to at least try to be as mature as UC or is it going to be more bottom of the barrel edgy otaku shit like the modern AUs? I'm too lazy to find the prologue anywhere.
>UC
>Not edgy otaku shit
Saw that contrarian shitpost coming a mile away.
Sorry IBO bab go back to watching Toonami.
what's with newbies who only saw IBO and maybe unicorn and think they get to generalize anything
it's gonna flop. woman MC = bad automatically no questions. also giving me IBO 2.0 vibes so it's definitely shit
Yes yes, woman bad. We know Wufei. Now back to the shed.
>woman MC = bad automatically
Ok incel.
>giving me IBO 2.0 vibes
You might be blind and/or moronic.
One of the best shows Sunrise ever made is Cross Ange.
Seems Cinemaphile is more excited for this than us. Is there is a reason why?
Waifus.
You are not a /m/an.
Maybe you should go back and stay there
Literally because of cute girls with high budget only
It's another AU. No need for them to tear their minds going over all UC animated shows, OVAs, and movies.
>Still no subs uploaded
Will Witch be standalone or do I have to watch some previous Gundam shows? I started watching Gundam and I loved 0079, but Z completely stopped me. Put that on hold since like 2 years ago.
It's a standalone.
>Z completely stopped me
Lol
Lmao even
It was bad compared to 0079
Camille is too moronic for me to enjoy the show.
He gets better
And then becomes a vegetable in the end
You're the one who was too moronic, not Kamille.
skip Z and ZZ then, nothing worth watching 100 episodes for
Are you fricking kidding me where's the English sub
Fansubs truly are dead.
so why are the mods ignoring all the shitposts in this thread?
This shows discussion is gonna 100% just be Yuri and about the girls only. Typical coom stuff. Which is all you need for it to be big in the West
Probably considering they only revealed the voice actresses for the two main girls and not everyone else first which is weird since we would usually get some more.
I mean, the girls already got figures/plamo on the way, so the clearly want to cash on the ronerywaifugay.
I hope the show ends up having more to offer than just that.
Honestly, if we can get some decent yuri and fight scenes out of this, I'll be satisfied. I've got basically no hope for this; not really sure why, since I liked the prologue well enough, but maybe it's the mech designs or newtype autist or something.
*autism, frick me.
>yuri
>okouchi
What is Princess Principle?
We're never gonna get the prologue subbed in English are we?

No.
It's over now, anything /m/ related come out of it outside of G-Witch?
Why are you weirdos obsessed with this frame?
it's funny, like AGAINST YOUR THOUGHT

Oh, it's just an edgelord thing. I forget not everyone on /m/ has grown out of that.
>It's an 'anon doesn't find absurdity inherently humorous' episode

It's not really that absurd.
Just comes off as a bunch of guys laughing at the expense of mass shootings.
Goddamn I hate americans.
>guys laughing at the expense of mass shootings.
I got a couple of funny gags I pulled a day or few after Columbine if you want
I'm sure you found those boys very inspiring.
protest signs are funny
I've rocked bullshit protest signs irl at shit like the front lines of the Bush/Gore postvote hoo-hah back in the day

buddies had things like "GARAGE SALE" and "YOUR AD HERE"

It is not going to get big here in the states. Why? They will complain about lack of diversity, despite a female lead. I want it to do good, because I just want more /m/ related stuff come over, also I want the US to make a giant robot too like Japan.
>It is not going to get big here in the states
Good. The prologue is already filtering IBO morons with the implied political conflict. The fact that they’re going this direction with Witch when they could have just made another IBO, aka a Gundam entry that was successful in the West with normalgays, means we’re getting certified Gundam kino
Frick off tourist.
You first, IBO-loving redd*tor
Only tourists defend IBO.
I wish that was true and it isn't.
It would be better if Ai Kayano voiced one of the characters. But I also do hope that there'd be an anime that copies imagery from 1937, just like how pic related pays homage to the Third of May 1808 from the Peninsula War.
>They will complain about lack of diversity
Holy shit unironically take your meds you fricking idiot. This shit doesn't actually happen outside of fringes and never affects anything.
You people need to make up your minds. Is it "go woke go broke" or is it "this will never be allowed by the SJW illuminati" because you can't really have it both ways.
Jerid and Sleggar best Americans in Gundam, that bishie Duo can sod right off
Will it be a school drama wbut with gundams?
I just want the murderbaby to grow up with severe Gundam autism and choose Gundam over love.
Have a guy or gal fall severely in love with her but gets rejected because of Gundam.
If you want 00 just watch 00
How is SRW going to handle this one?
We’ll wait and see
I watched it and yet I have no idea what the frick the antagonist's mission statement is supposed to be. "hurr only humans should use weapons... But not those weapons!" like is it supposed to be stupid on purpose to make it clear he doesn't have any actual ideals beyond a lust for power?
They just don't want Earthians to get access to the Gundams, the other stuff is just an excuse to outlaw GUND ARM development. In G-Witch, Spacians are rich corporations while Earthians are mostly poorgays. The current power is held by Spacians, but if Earthians manage to complete the Gundam then the power balance would change and Earthians would have actual leverage.
