Gundam Twilight Axis - News & Anticipation

[RRW]

Gundam Twilight Axis is getting anime



Story/Premise

Universal Century 0096. Several months have passed since the incident surrounding Laplace’s box also known as the the Universal Century Charter. The Earth Federation Forces dispatches a group of investigators to the severed Axis which is drifting outside the Earth Sphere. Two civilians participate as members of the research group: Arlette Almage and Danton Hyleg. Both have pasts with government service to the Principality of Zeon and Neo Zeon as an engineer and test pilot. Having infiltrated Axis, the investigators come under attack inside a base where no one should be. Arlette and Dalton are confronted with by incident they never imagined.

I like this team. Ark Performance's works are good and seriously need to be adapted into anime more. We've had Arpeggio of Blue Steel and that one turned out well. I expect another good/great adaptation of their work in this.

You say team is good but only talk one aspect of it

Anyway. If you notice, the director is Korean which probably first in anime industry. Previously he did many animation for AGE and GBF. So expect nice animation.

I think the format will be similar to thunderbolt

And.....is there something wrong with it? I write comments here for fun, not to be judged like a student's essay.

I highlighted Ark Performance coz this is the first Nakamura-Ark Performance Gundam work to be adapted into anime and the other team-members pretty much already proved themselves in other Gundam projects, except for Takashi Ohmama. His music in Dandelion & PSO 2 is just okay, I think. I hope he can step up his game for TA.

I wonder if it will be long OVA movies, or an actual weekly series. Either way I'm intrigued. I really like the look of the main Gundam.

Whoa really? A new UC anime? Color me excited



Not to mention how the main "Char" suit is a Zaku III which IMO always needed more screentime/spotlight and the main Gundam is a state of the art Alex successor. Hope we get MGs out of those two at least (we already know were getting the HGs)

On second thought, Sundai sure are trolling us, aren’t they? All that hype about Crossbone & Hathaway’s Flash being the top picks of the UC poll back then, yet they’re giving us GTA instead .

But I guess that’s fine because if they follow the novel, there’s going to be the Ronah family in it (Meitzer Ronah, the future Crossbone Vanguard leader being one of them) which will tie it to Gundam F91 a bit, and will probably lead to future Crossbone anime. I'm also interested to see the direct effect (& repercussion) of Mineva unveiling the true UC charter to the world back in Unicorn's ending. Should be interesting if they're touching on that topic. Fans who wanted a direct sequel to Unicorn will probably have their wish half-granted with GTA.

And GTA has certainly cemented that future UC anime will rely more on adaptations of literary works instead of original anime, continuing Unicorn, Origin & Thunderbolt before it.

^ Nice teaser trailer. It mostly shows materials from the first chapter of the novel.

[Fairy Water]

So basically, net anime: short animation (5-min long?) with multiple episodes.

^ That video gives us nothing new though. It was uploaded back on March 23rd. And it seems the video-maker got the synopsis from that one thread on Reddit-Gundam which isn't entirely accurate. I know coz I've read the translated novel chapters.

So if this is good...can I hope for them animating Johnny Ridden No Kikan?

I advise to not expect too much from it as GTA is mostly a self-contained story despite some very minor connection to Unicorn event. In fact, it has a lot more to do with CCA than Unicorn.

Hmm, its not a full show? Expectations dampened. Still interesting in checking it out.
