Wakaranai

I may not be able to keep up with Washi’s prodigious output, but I thought I should throw something relatively new onto the blog. I posted about the upcoming Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn animation project some time ago, but (quite obviously) a PV has been released, and I felt like sharing. I can quite happily say that I’m not disappointed. The production looks pretty delicious, and the detail in the mecha sequences shown is excellent. I have heard that we’re looking at a movie, which means that they’re fitting the first couple of volumes into roughly two hours. I’m worried about compression of the plot and character progression, though Harutoshi Fukui has claimed that they’ve worked hard on not making it jarring (which is somewhat reassuring). Ultimately I enjoyed Char’s Counterattack and Gundam F91, which arguably suffer from being in film format, so chances are I will enjoy this, unless it turns out completely awful.

I am also aware of the vocal cast now. The lead roles are being taken by Kōki Uchiyama, who voiced Soul Eater in Soul Eater, and Ayumi Fujimura, who has been in a few things I’ve never really watched (she voiced Chiharu Harukaze in Hayate the Combat Butler, for example). I’m not entirely sure what to make of them as of yet, but I can say that I am pleased (and not remotely surprised) by the casting of Shuichi Ikeda as Full Frontal. Sieg Zeon!
