Both the second season and the movie end pretty definitively and lock down the timeline. edit: Also that Exia is utter garbage; What kind of Exia Gundam doesn't have it's signature switchblade?  (I hold the same view of the Amazing and Dark Exias as well, before someone mentions them )

Okay so apparently: Graham's been revived by the ELS using Setsuna's memories. He's now joined Celestial Being, and pilots the Exia, and calls it the "Graham Gundam" Edit: There's also going to be a stage play rendition of the the original TV series (link) Greblin fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Apr 14, 2018 |

Looking up info on it, it looks like it was a live drama performance that was just held today. Live Drama sequels are whatever, but man, I would love a kit of that Repair IV, it's got a nice mixture of things I like from the Exia and Quant.

Between Space Zombie T-1000 Graham finally getting to marry the Exia, a Tieria for every orientation, and whatever the gently caress is going on with Setsuna, that looks dumb enough to be amazing.

Neddy Seagoon posted:What? How?! Both the second season and the movie end pretty definitively and lock down the timeline. While I agree the show and movie ended pretty definitively with closure for all plotlines the timeline is anything but locked down. A unified human government is setting off in to deep space for the purposes of exploration and/or expansion; there is nothing "locked down" about that, and you can imagine all kinds of possible stories based off that one line description alone. Whether you should or not is another thing, but then, you could say the same about making a sequel to 0079 really. Personally, I've always wanted a sequel to 00 more than any other Gundam and imagined one that was a mix of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Turn-A, with humanity fumbling through first contacts and trying in vain to prevent an escalation of conflict with an alien species. Is this an actual sequel, or just a live action once off thing for funsies in Japan?

On one hand "Oh, Graham is alive again despite exploding because ELS" is stupid. On the other hand Graham's death was stupid and kinda defeated the point of him choosing to live. So it's a net wash.

IIRC between the end of the battle in the 00 movie and the epilogue, there's brief last gasp war by anti-Innovator forces.

AradoBalanga posted:Dumb and silly stage productions are not limited to anime series. Behold the Resident Evil stage play. If you do want extra 00 guff though there's already several semi-passable side story mangas that stretch the whole timeline. I recently read 00F which despite being kinda dumb and extremely  anime ended up being fairly enjoyable overall and at least provided a 0083 style answer to the 00 timelines question of "Why is everyone suddenly evil?"Olivia!

I really need to read more Gundam manga, I don't think I've read anything other than Crossbone Gundam, and even there only the translated part (gently caress, Ghost is still not translated). I keep telling myself to read the Astray ones but I still haven't and I don't even know how to read it considering it has a million things that apparently sometimes happen at the same time or something? But Astray is so cool in SRWW that I really want to read it at some point. Oh, I also read some Glory of Losers but stopped rather early. It seemed like an interesting Wing remake if nothing else, and I love how it upgrades the Heavyarms to MORE GUNS. I don't know what other Gundam manga are good. I accept recommendations.

Astray has high highs and low lows depending on what you read. I didn't like R much for example.

Ethiser posted:I’ve heard positive things about Astray, but I’ve never read it myself. Basically, the Astray manga series are some of the better Cosmic Era content out there, and serve as a nice companion piece to a very flawed pair of TV shows that does its best to flesh out the SEED universe more than the shows did. Just avoid Delta Astray, that's all.

Gundam: Plot to Assassinate Gihren is easily one of the best things set in UC Gundam. To explain why in any detail would basically require spoiling the entire manga, but suffice to say it's a really interesting Gundam story from a refreshing perspective that rewards knowledge of the setting.

I think it's not spoiling much to say the lead character isn't a pilot, at least. At least, not any more. Leopold's the Man Who Returned from Earth, a Zeonic detective assigned to investigate the titular plot to assassinate Gihren. Less action focused, more political thriller. Good stuff.

As far as Gundam mangas are concerned, I've been intrigued by the CCA Beltorchika's Children manga I've stumbled upon a while ago. I haven't read it myself but there were aspects of the movie that pissed me off so I'm real curious to check out the differences.

Thunderbolt is already pretty lean and mean, and I felt the anime cut out some important aspects in adapting it. The Plot To Assassinate Gihren's a slower burn, and fairly low action early on. I'd be worried how well things would be fit to the screen.

Droyer posted:I for one am shocked the manga spinoff to an anime is anime. It adds a childlike catgirl who's actually a hyper intelligent AI construct and the main character is a totally rad edgy dude and every time it looks like something went wrong it was totally part of his plan you guys. It's anime as heck.As for other mangas, seconding The Origin as not only is it a near perfect reshuffling of the MSG elements for a modern audience more familiar with the real robot genre (as opposed to having to fight super robot shows for TV ratings) the artwork is also super nice. Crossbone Gundam is a fun space romp. I feel its slightly let down by a lack of depth to the villains and some sub-par MS designs but it makes up for it with concise storytelling and enjoyable characters. 0083: Rebellion has also been mentioned here before. It really does a lot to flesh out the characters, in fact almost the entire first volume is character introductions and world building. Unicorn Bande Dessinee is almost a straight retelling of the anime but there are minor changes and additions here and there. Mostly it adds some bits from the book that were left out in the anime and became plotholes, like why the heck did Cardeas Vist delete the Unicorn test data and lock the NT-D? (because it just killed several test pilots) Also Banagher gets a little more agency and at the very least you can read him in any voice you like so he won't sound as whiny  Beltorchika's Children isn't too bad from what I've read so far. It's less of a reshuffle and more of a complete overhaul though as it follows the novel, so it's Hi-Nu vs. Nightingale rather than Nu vs. Sazabi. (And I do love me some Sazabi) The new Blue Destiny manga is also a thing. I'm withholding judgement until I've read the second volume but the first one was fairly dull. I think what irked me most was the writer very hamfistedly introduced the main cast with little name and info boxes (This is THE BAD GUY he is with the Zeons he is, he likes muffins) rather than attempting to introduce them organically. Zeta Define I would advise against reading. On the story side the changes range from unnecessary to outright stupid, while the artwork also leaves a lot to be desired. A lot of the action feels very flat because the artist, while rather skilled in technical drawing, has trouble conveying motion and speed. I've also got a stack of mangas I haven't gotten to yet either. Glory of Losers is in there somewhere as is Build Fighters Amazing and several of the Unicorn/post-CCA spinoffs. I pretty much just browse the 100 yen racks at the second hand book store and pick up anything that says 'Gundam' on it.
