Called “ gunpla”, which is short for “Gundam plastic model”, the first Gundam Build Fighters took these kits and put them in a fictional battling tournament where kids who have built the best Gundam prevail. To give a quick bit of background, one of Gundam’s most successful merchandising arms is its model kits.

The other is Gundam Build Fighters Try, which is a follow on to last year’s madly successful series about kids battling with their newly built Gundam model kits. Regarding other series, G no Reconguista is not the only new Gundam series currently being aired on Japanese television. I only hope more series and films follow suit. In truth, CG is actually no less expensive to make compared to hand drawn animation and it’s now coming down to more of a stylistic decision rather than a financial one. Considering most modern anime use a lot of CG (and this series does use a bit), the bulk of the important footage is all done by hand.

For a TV series the sheer amount and quality of hand drawn animation is absolutely fantastic. It's also a bit odd that, for a show aimed at kids, it airs past midnight.Īll that aside though, there is one thing that I am definitely appreciating about G no Reconguista its gorgeous hand-drawn animation. For instance Toshio Okada from Gainax holds a particularly dim view of Tomino’s new Gundam show, criticizing it for being bizarre and difficult to follow. Now, not everyone is a fan of this approach. Figuring out what has brought characters to current events makes you feel part of the story in a way that few anime ever have.
It also forces the viewer to pay closer attention, drawing them into the world-building more. The reason this setup has always worked well is that real life is rarely as neat in a narrative sense.
