In the previous consultation, the author mentioned that the "Gundam 40th Anniversary" project announced by "Anime expo2019" this year, there are probably so many, "Mobile Suit Gundam FlashIng Hasavi" theatrical version of the animation project, "Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-blooded Orfenswolz hunt" mobile game planning, animation "Gundam Stalker Re:RISE", theatrical version of "g's Restoration Movement" five-part first "Rush Bar, Core Fighter", TV animation "Mobile Suit Gundam the" Origin Eve Red Comet". For specific content, you can check the author's past articles, which do not take up space to re-describe the content, but to talk about their nature.
Among them, the new IP is 0, all of which are derivative works of the series that have been born, and reiterate, the new IP is 0.
Among them, "Flash of Hasavi" can be said to be a new work that everyone is very much looking forward to, but this project is not the first time that "Anime expo2019" has been announced, but it has been announced after the release of "Mobile Suit Gundam nt", and even earlier, when the title of "Mobile Suit Gundam nt" was revealed, the intelligence of "Flash Of Hasavi" has been leaked. Unfortunately, at that time, the titles of "Gundam nt" and "Flash Of Hasavi" were leaked, and a theatrical version of the title was tentatively set as "Mobile Suit Gundam UC2", so the new work behind it is still the use of old IP. "Gundam nt" is a sequel to "Gundam UC", and "Gundam UC" sequel "Gundam UC2" should already be in the schedule next year.
And "Glitter of Hasavi" is definitely not a new IP, "Glitter of Hasavi" novel is 89 years of Tomino wrote the work, has a history of 30 years, in many Gundam games have also interpreted this story, and the machine set up, the model is basically very mature.
"Chuang Zhan / Chuang Submarine", or the model series, is an earlier IP, can only say that this series continues to launch new works, especially from "Chuang Zhan", the style is more unified, the story is more routine, playing terriers can not stop, but with the sale of HG models, it seems that it can still continue, but the fans expected by the new work are not many.
"G's Restoration Movement" is a new IP created by Tomino in 2014, and I personally feel that this work is full of personality, and "Fuye" is very strong, but the story of being castrated makes the storyline jump, the popularity is not high, and the acceptance is not high. Therefore, Tomino said early that his "G's Restoration Movement" will do 3 episodes and 2 new theatrical versions, and now he has just hammered the first episode, and Tomino is now old, and there are 2 new theatrical versions to be done later, I am afraid that the difficulty is also very high.
"Mobile Suit Gundam the Origin Eve Red Comet", this is the "origin" ova TV animation thing, will be re-edited and then broadcast on TV, this routine and "Gundam UC" tv is a routine. Moreover, "the origin" itself is not an original new IP, but a comic work, of course, it is a good thing to be able to animate it, but now as a 40th anniversary work, it is really embarrassing to fry cold rice like this.
"Mobile Suit Gundam Orpheus of Iron Blood" is the old IP, but as a sequel, a new protagonist, a new mechanism, a new story, but a little sincerity, the closest to the new IP.
Everyone found that Gundam has no new IP born. Since 3-4 years ago of "Gundam Thunder Domain", and "Gundam Iron Blood", the new works are basically eating old IP, including the focus of the next 1-2 years, but also the retro UC next100, the author and a friend in the animation production industry analysis, the conclusion is, "do new IP loss ah, model no one buys, it is better to do old IP, squeeze the value of old IP again." ""Gundam uc" is good to sell, good, then we will do the "Gundam uc" sequel "Gundam nt", "Gundam nt" finished "Gundam UC2", unicorns can fight for a vest for another 10 years; it is a pity that the market is so real, after all, this is an industry that needs to be invested, can not make money, can not get returns, who dares to invest in new IP?
Think about the end of "Gundam oo", in addition to "Gundam uc" which "Gundam" can once again set off a craze, the model can be super hot? I have to admit that the development of new IPs is too risky.
The author's friend complained that the budget of "Gundam Iron Blood" is enough to do enough for 2 seasons, but the middle story has become protracted, and the ending has also made a mess, which should be the consequence of the innovative use of the Mother who wrote Mary Sue... I think it is not unreasonable, he feels that giving this budget to "G's Restoration Movement" will not cut out such an embarrassing tv26 content.
In the second half, I do not agree, since the development of the new IP is so risky, there is no way to be sure that "G's Restoration Movement" will definitely get funding to produce a good film, "Chuang Zhan" attempt is to find a fixed and reliable routine, and the first one is made very sincerely, and the latter will gradually follow a routine to reproduce, crazy stubborn, set of emotional powder.
So to sum up, there is no new IP, because there is no new IP, the new IP is difficult to persuade investors to invest, so use the existing IP to improve the sequel, which is a more conservative program, many works also have a popularity base, for the old IP to open the way.
In fact, from the perspective of the lack of innovation of Gundam, it still reflects the decline of the entire Japanese animation industry, people in the past can make a fortune by doing robot animation, and now this set of roads is not popular, too many people have left the industry, and when it comes to the decline of the Japanese economy, when the Japanese economy has been revitalized, recovered, and there is a young motivation willing to join the industry, maybe the spring of Gundam will come again.
