[Mobile Suit Gundam] Why are recent Gundam series around 12 or 25 episodes?

Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I hope that if it’s Gundam, it will be planned for 52 episodes but will be cut off at 43 episodes.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I don’t know the details of the original plan, but it seems too well put together for something that was canceled.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx19

Not just Gundam, but anime with over four cours can be tough.

Don’t you think it’s a cold era…?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

Look at the old man who had to make four seasons of anime and movies in a row; he developed serious depression from his own work.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Well, the average quality is high because of that.

There are quite a few parts in the bald anime that drag when watched all the way through.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Iron-Blooded Orphans had a proper 4-cour run, right?

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I wonder why Iron-Blooded Orphans had four cours.

I want it to be canceled at episode 25.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Everyone’s schedule is packed.

They say that if you suddenly do a full 4-cour season, the staff won’t be able to gather.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It wouldn’t be strange to refer to a TV series from eight years ago as recent if it’s a few episodes back.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s tough to have robot battles every time for four quarters.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the past, it took a long time to sell products.

As we get to the second half, sales tend to taper off.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

There seems to be a sense of satisfaction among animators who were eager to draw robots, as there are now enough robot anime available.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Ten years ago in my 40s feels recent.

Ten years ago in my twenties feels far away.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why was Gundam canceled at such an awkward time?

What was the remaining 9 episodes used for?

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Iron-Blooded Orphans was enough at 12 episodes.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there has been an increase in robot anime that are properly centered around toys compared to a certain period of time.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

The ratings are bad, and I’m getting complaints from Nagoya TV.

Sales plummeted sharply from Zambo and Daitarn to Clover.

It seems like it was tough because you were being complained at.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Itato said that the coach was always getting scolded and apologizing back then.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not just the number of episodes, but having many episodes without battles can feel a bit lonely, right…?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

It would have been great if they had made a movie version of Mercury.

It seems that while it can be done well by pushing through with a live feeling, it also seems just right.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

The position of the director back then seems really weak, doesn’t it?

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Trider G7 is fun!

A elementary school president battles villains while riding a robot.

There’s a bit of the original vibe from things like Raijin-O too.

Kids will really like it.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mercury is a split 2-cour, while Ziegax is 1-cour.

It’s getting shorter and shorter.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Yamato, it has been popular among middle and high school students who became anime fans (at that time).

There were lots of studio visits and fan letters coming in.

The Gundam didn’t have much popularity among children buying combination toys.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both Mercury and Iron-Blooded Orphans seem to have mixed reviews after their second cour, so it looks like Zeke Aks will wrap things up neatly without that kind of issue.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the toys sold, are we not going to extend it after all?

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it quite a completed design even in Kunihiro Okawara’s robot design?

Triader G7

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that Ziek Ax is starting from a cool point after the actual division.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

The personnel in the company are taken away by the subcontractor The Ultraman, and they won't even paint the shadows...

Wait a minute!! Please paint a shadow there!! Just that spot!! Ah~~! This place has no shadow either! No good! Make it work there! It’s already a light and shallow blue! Changing the color based on the direction of light? That’s troublesome!! So… so then, always shade this side!! It’s fine whichever way the light is, just shade this side!! Please paint it!! So… then what about something!? Ohh… the influence of doll magazines is often ignored… Other companies used to paint it for us… I-It can’t be helped. Back then, Sunrise was looking down on us.

The personnel in the company are taken away by the subcontractor The Ultraman, and they won’t even paint the shadows…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like there are many anime that become successful despite not being expected to.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that Sunrise won’t have the stamina to do another consecutive four-cour series even if they were to turn MS into CG.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the quality of animation that viewers expect has become too high.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Conversely, it’s abnormal that AGE was able to run for four continuous cours without a compilation episode.

Kan-san, who is also participating in Ziku Ax, was doing the key animation for about 20 episodes, and it had a production system like that of Showa-era anime.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

If it’s okay to use banks like W, it might still be possible to do it for four seasons now.

It seems like there will be a lot of people complaining once we actually do it…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Shades of death should have at least prepared one more year of preparation time.”

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

People who can draw robots…

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Sales during broadcasts might not change much even if they are short.

I believe that those who have been around for a long time are more likely to be loved for a long time.

Four-cour anime really creates a different kind of attachment.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t keep up with a TV that has movie-like visual quality for a whole year.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sunrise has produced its flagship work, Gundam, in color.

The satellite is having Sunrise create the flagship program Macross.

It’s a bit confusing in my head, but that just shows how challenging the current production environment must be.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want them to do 50 episodes like 00 or Iron-Blooded Orphans, but in two parts.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It feels like the original TV version or a picture story show with added voice.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

In a single season, it feels like a fleeting dream.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

The first generation was supported by female fans during the broadcast.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

The quality of the Zik Axes artwork is incredible.

It’s at the level of being made into a movie as is.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

There has never been a year where we could do it with movie quality, both now and in the past!

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that having a longer length would make it easier to create showcase moments for various mechs when selling plastic models.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to see a slightly rough animation of Machu.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

The internet says that Mobile Suit Gundam became a huge hit with Gunpla and led to a movie adaptation.

Because they fabricate history.

It seems difficult for those who come forward to make corrections each time.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Zeek Axis already finished being made?

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In cool split works, the center of the content’s intensity lies in the period between the first and second halves.

Separated from the creators, it has moved to the viewers’ community.

There can be temperature differences and misinterpretations when the official event resumes, right?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

Honestly, I doubt whether sponsors frequently interfere with the developments of the story or the plot.

It’s probably a job to sell toys, but I wonder if there was a system that immediately reflected the sales of toys when interfering with the work, and does that result lead to causing holes in the program, to the extent of deciding on a cancellation?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Director Tomino is making more use of Mr. Anno’s artistic ability than he himself can.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think O-Hage and Yasuhiko have a relationship like a cracked pot with a matching lid.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have no idea what you’re doing.

Shin Eva’s battle scenes.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

The CG part of Shin Eva is not well done.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since we’re wrapping this up, create the next plan.

Tomino said that being told that was the hardest part.

That’s not such an idea.
