Re: GAIKING

Read that aint it cool page. Dudes are apparently building life size robots to scan into 3D with lightstage. I dont know how true that is but he says something about posting pics tomorrow.

Re: GAIKING

I don't buy the life size thing. not for a second. Gaiking is just too ****ing massive. it could trip over the lifesize RX-78-2.

Re: GAIKING

I'm so not into bulky skyscraper robots.

The animation is cool though.

Re: GAIKING

I dont either. Those things would be ****ing massive. Im betting itll be scale models or something.

I could see it if it was just the parts that the actors interact with, such as a hand or a shoulder. I don't know anything about Gaiking, but even if we go with Transformers, the set would have to be pretty huge.

Re: GAIKING

I've never watched this show before (my giant robot experiences are limited to three of the Transformers and three of the Gundam series), but Gaiking looks totally f-ing awesome. You wouldn't necessarily have to build it life sized, I think you could build it about six feet tall and then just scale up the model since they're making this animated.

Re: GAIKING

I read the article.

I watched the teaser.

I still don't believe it's happening.

Maybe that's just how my brain handles shock.


edit: or maybe I REALLY don't believe it's happening and giant Hollywood ventures like this crash all the time - Halo 3, Evangelion or Raimi's Spider-Man 4?

In any case, I'll believe it when I see it.

Though this is exactly the kind of thing I hoped Transformers' success would unleash. Soon my dream of a Gundam Wing movie starring Zac Efron in every role will come to fruition~

Re: GAIKING

I really wonder which series they're gonna model this on. the female pilot tells me "neither", as far as characters, but with the style of action, I really hope it's not based on the old series, because the newer series (which I posted a video from before) is pretty goddamn great.





and I wanna see **** like that on the big screen.

It needs to be fileld with the absurd BURNING JUSTICE that a mecha created by Go Nagai demands. He invented the ****. for a movie adaptation to not contain it would be a tragedy.

and yes, quite a bit of it is cliche. now. but go nagai created these cliches, so they belong. it needs long streams of attacks that are basically the hero saying "**** you, **** you, **** you, you don't matter, you're stupid for even thinking of attacking me with that giant death machine. die, die, die" via one insane attack after another.

I love my retro super robots.

Hey James Camarons supposed next big project is going to be Battle Angel Alita if he gets what he wants. He says he wants to use all the techniques and stuff they learned from making Avatar and apply it to the Alita movie. Hes a huge fan of the manga, and with how crazy succesful Avatar was studios will probably let him go totally nuts with a budget on it.

You better pray to the most merciful God in heaven that an Evangelion movie is nothing like the "End of Evangelion" one. Or the very moment anybody is less than the most alert in their life at their highest function, their brains will be painted on the screen as they attempt to reason with the monstrosity. I tried for weeks to make sense of that movie. I have yet to reconcile with my inability to do so.
Am I the only one who noticed a similarity between "face open" and Guyver's uber chest cannon attack?

I wanted to find a picture from the original live-action movie, or at least the TV series. But apparently Guyver didn't transfer to the internet.

Re: GAIKING

I dont want a live action EVA movie anymore. Im totally happy with Rebuild and its de-pussified manly shinji that can haul ass.
