As far as I know, Gundam Unicorn marks Sunrise/Bandai’s first attempt at an animated adaptation of pre-existing Gundam material (in this case, a novel). This will open a new possibility of other pre-existing materials such as novels, short stories, mangas, or heck, even games to be adapted into an animated feature whether it’s an OVA series or TV series. Don’t you find it interesting? Imagine if, after Unicorn, Sunrise is to adapt
Gundam Sentinel, Advanced of Zeta, Ecole du Ciel or the highly anticipated adaptation of
Origin manga. That will be very interesting.
As for you? What’s your opinion on this? What do you think is the best pre-existing materials for Sunrise to adapt after Unicorn? The “best” here means that it has a strong appeal to Gundam fans in general so that it’ll be well-liked and profitable to the company, thus makes it “commercially possible” to adapt. Of course, it’s not just limited to the UC universe. If there are other materials from other Gundam universe that you think has a lot of potential to attract viewers when adapted, you can mention it here too (eg.
Astray mangas from SEED). For each title you mention, please add some explanation of what form is the best for the adaptation (OVA or TV) and why it will be a good material to adapt so that we can discuss it here, as well as enlighten those who are still unfamiliar with the material of your choice.
Ok. With this, I hope we can have a good discussion.
