Among Japanese animation, the most classic, huge and profitable work is "Mobile Suit Gundam", although some friends may not have seen it, but they will definitely hear of the "Gundam" series of works.
There is a saying that driving a gun is a man's romance
"Gundam" series has been broadcast since the beginning of more than 40 years, so far the global influence is no less than the three major migrant comics, in the last period, the Japanese side in order to celebrate the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan and chose to send the Gundam model to space, which shows its great luxury.
But the other side does have extravagant capital, "Mobile Suit Gundam" series has always been the "cash cow" of Bandai Nangong Dream, from the financial report released by Bandai Nangong Dream every year, it can be known that although it does not dare to say that "Gundam" accounts for the top of the sales list every year, it is definitely a major profit IP.
The most successful commercial animation in the "Gundam" series is "Mobile Suit Gundam Seed", which is the first Gundam series of works in the Gundam series to begin "idol faction", although the connotation and depth of his works are far inferior to other Gundam works in the same series, but it successfully saved the animation production company "Sunrise".
To know that "Sunrise Sunrise" although dominating the "Gundam" this big IP, but in fact Gundam is not always very popular, once in the past 90s, Sunrise's revenue has been in deficit, to Toei production of the bloody manga work "Saint Seiya" as a representative of the sweeping animation market, robot animation gradually not paid attention to, whether it is ratings or peripheral goods are difficult to sustain.
In 1994, Japan's SUNRISE was officially acquired by bandai Group, and the creation of the Gundam series of animation was once restricted.
The work that saved the Sunrise Society was Mobile Suit Gundam seed.
In the era of extreme downturn in robot-themed works, this work rose like a comet, I believe that many people are "Gundam seed" into the pit, driving a new batch of Gundam fans and peripheral goods, whether in terms of ratings or sales, "Gundam seed" is a very hot commercial animation.
However, it is precisely because of the overly commercial reason that new and old Gundam fans have launched a lot of tearing wars, "Gundam seed" contains elements such as war, morality, love, idol singers, etc., but each one is only a little bit, and will not be over-excavated, the most profound thing is how the male protagonist "Ji Shen" cut others into "human sticks", and the title of "human stick base" is also obtained.
It is undeniable that until now, "Mobile Suit Gundam Seed" is one of the most influential in the Gundam series, and both the male protagonist Kira Yamato and the female protagonist Lax Klein have been in the top ten of the character rankings of "NEWTYPE".
Recently, this "Mobile Suit Gundam seed" is ready to be released in the theater.
Takayoshi Nishikawa, who once sang the OP for "Gundam Seed" and part of the BGM, once broke the news at the 40th anniversary of Gundam FES LIVE: The theatrical version of Gundam Seed is already being made. The animation director Fukuda Tsutsuyoshi, who was involved in the production of "Gundam Seed", deliberately forwarded this tweet, which means that the theatrical version of "Gundam Seed" is really coming out.
After more than ten years, the "Base God" has reappeared in the jianghu again, which is really very exciting!
