Holy Hideaki Anno! How did we miss this!?
Proper trailer and information breakdown below the surface.
What it is
Matthew Gratzner, the guy involved with that UFO movie we mentioned back in January, is making the movie of the anime series Gaiking. A series that missed our childhood we’re sad to say.
What We Learned
We are building the robots life size. Matt is one of the last great practical effects guys in the business who can pull this off. We will bring you to the set and give you first shot at seeing them. If you want, we can have you put out those first images of what the finished versions look like. The teaser we have now is CG for the robot. It is to give the fans a taste of the design we are going with, but it is not a true reveal given what we are going to be doing when we build the thing. The real deal is going to be mind blowing of course.
Why We’re Gonna Watch
A petite, badass woman strapped inside power armor the size of city office buildings. The question should be why wouldn’t we watch?
When’s it coming?
2012 is the guess.
