[@Zerostealthman]

I get the complaint about the human models but I think it just shows that they worked with a reasonable budget that was allocated appropriately. The mobile suits look amazing and it is clear most of the work and budget went towards them, as it should have. Better human animation would have been nice but it probably isn’t going to be an absolutely massive hit; so for gundam to stick around they do have to use reasonable budgets rather than inflated ones like disney which means compromise in certain aspects.

[@scp-1145]

There are ways to cut budgets, but I would not say making the few important scene for the trailer looking like robots is a smart move. Personally, if you can't make good facial expression, then don't emphasis their face.

[@Zerostealthman]

@@scp-1145 “There are ways to cut budget” name a plausible way they couldve done it without unethical treatment of animators. This is not a logical nor realistic interpretation of how creating media works. You cant just reallocate budget to make everything perfect, you HAVE to pick and choose certain elements to focus on. They also do not “emphasize their face”, several scenes seem to clearly hide faces behind visors intentionally etc. if you want anime to be sustainable you have to expect certain imperfections and lower overall budgets. Making quality facial animations is very expensive and time consuming; you are greatly simplifying the situation for the sake of complaining.

[@scp-1145]

@Zerostealthman What They Could Have done? They could have not showed the face of the commander at all because there is nothing to see. The eyes are dead, and the mouth barely opened. Immediately kick you out of immersiveness. They could show what he was doing instead of his facial expression which is none existence. The scene is supposed to be intense, but do you feel that from his face? Any facial expression seen so far is either dead or super unnatural. It is very obvious that they have put little if any effort into making it, or they are just really bad at animation. As viewer, we have to be honest about what we like and not like.

[@scp-1145]

@Zerostealthman in the end, you think they allocated appropriately because you are OK with robotic faces, and I disagree because it is a deal breaker for me.

[@Zerostealthman]

@@scp-1145 yes in the end I am simply happy to have another UC gundam series to watch lol. The faces are robotic which is not immersive but it is also very reminiscent of MS igloo and older game cutscenes which gives it a certain charm to me. I was also referring directly to the fidelity of the faces and their animations not the direction of the cinematography. I can almost guarantee you it would have turned out better if they had more time; but the realities of the industry mean that certain projects are only worth producing if they can be made in a certain time; can those “limited” projects turn out nearly perfect? Yes but it often involves luck & or highly skilled people and if those are not present you will see cutting corners in terms of working conditions to execute those 10/10 type results which means burnout of and losing talent. I would rather see the animation suffer than the animators themselves. They could have hid the faces and been more implied yes, but perhaps at the time they had planned to animate them better (after doing the major aspects of the scene) but couldn’t in time, and thus could not afford to go back and alter the scenes to hide the now unplanned robotic faces. Situations similar to that are the realities of being in entertainment, you do not often have the luxury of executing exactly what you envisioned. It’s valid to dislike how the faces turned out but I think it is also important to recognize the steps that were taken in the right direction (the mobile suit design being very cool). It is not a complete fail; but it does showcase that gundam is much better off when traditionally animated. I wish they had gone that route instead. I believe we can both agree on that

[@paganavenger8920]

This looks really awesome for an anime that uses photo-realistic graphics on the characters and the mechs themselves.

[@justincholos.balisang6884]

this is definitely MS IGLOO

[@mikloridden8276]

MS igloo for western audiences . . I wish they would just release zeta Gundam movies in English .

[@知花信]

​@@mikloridden8276 If you don't put 0083 before Z Gundam, the story won't work. The first episode is about the factional conflict within the Federation.

[@Tuning3434]

@@知花信 Yeah, that is nonsense. Zeta gundam was written a good decade before 0083 and worked fine (probably even better) in the absence of 0083 Stardust Memory. Part of the charm of 0083 is the cameo's of characters that where properly introduced in Zeta, else they are just 'some guys' and 'some galls' mostly. There is something to say for it when only watching the Zeta Gundam: A New Translation movies, but that is where Zeta Gundam suffered under this compilation format, and the fact that it started having cameo's from 0083 because another 15+ years passed by.

not as good as I had hoped but not as bad as I feared

[@sawysauce1256]

Why didn’t they just make it MS Igloo 3? That’s what it basically is.

[@austinreed7343]

Because “kids characters as slasher killers” is big now.

[@Frank-fh2qn]

It looks more like a video game that I would want to play than a movie that I would want to watch.

[@バニラかまぼこ]

As for the design of DOPP, it has changed for the better. The settings for DOPP II and DOPP Kai are iffy, so I guess you can set them there. On the other hand, it is a little disappointing that the movement of the infantry is jerky and I don't feel much progress from IGLOO. However, if they are going to follow the One Year War so neatly, it is really a mystery why they released a Gundam with a weird design.

[@LongNguyen-uv8nn]

Well the gundam is designed by the same guy who design ez8.

[@theSpartan187]

Blindly pushing an armored column through a choke point with zero forward scouting when there were clearly air assets on station to screen and pleanty of infantry to scout. Peak military strategy, Zapp Brannigan would be proud.

This looks like it should have come out the same time Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within did. Yes some of the textures on stuff like the birds are better but damn. I've seen cut scenes in videogames that cost less to make that blow this out of the water.

[@thomasammon2580]

they really should use the original sound effects; the new ones are really out of place, to anyone that's watched the show before. it's like going from Z Gundam to War in the Pocket: suddenly everything sounds like Macross or Star Wars.

[@Spudtron98]

The original sound effects are too bit-crushed and don't do justice to the scale of the machines.

[@Gundumb_guy]

Idc what the humans look like, I’m watching this for the mobile suits and these look amazing! Can’t wait

[@rosegokublack9658]

It somehow looks top-of-the-line and like a fanimation cobbled together on a whim. It’s uncanny, and IDK if it’ll be good, but I might give it a spin

[@omer1996d2]

Judging from yesterday's Warhammer 40K "The Enemy Without: A Deathwatch Vignette " which was also animated by studio Safe House, under the same director Erasmus Brosdau (who did the "Lord Inquisitor" warhammer 40k fan animation 8 years ago) the action is probably going to be good.

[@MegaGordion]

Looks like the intro animation to an old PS3 game.

[@Oakbeast]

need your eyes checked

[@MegaGordion]

@@Oakbeast Go and look at "Chromehounds" opening, there's what people could animate back in 2006. Go and look at "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" from 2001 and see what people could animate back then. This production is ridiculously low quality and not deserving of the good Gundam name. Check your eyes, cause you're basically blind.

[@MegaGordion]

@@Oakbeast Go and look at the opening animation for Chromehounds from 2006 or the Final Fantasy film from 2001. I think you should be open to seeing the low production here. Hope you get your glasses soon!

Are mouth movements animated for English or Japanese because they are seriously desync'd if its supposed to be english. Looking forward to watching this in Japanese and not having to look at the mouths

I don’t think there is a Japanese dub. The Japanese trailers are in English as well.
