Suits designs:

http://mantan-web.jp/2013/07/07/2013...00023000c.html

Not really even remotely similar to the original, but for me it's not a problem at all.

com_gwp · 2013-07-07, 09:49

Whoa, those are some really wild designs. For some reason, it's giving me Tiger & Bunny vibes.

Edit: Oh geez, no wonder. Andou Kenji is partly in charge of G-Suit designs.

I muchly look forward to Z-Cune Hajime.

Tyabann · 2013-07-07, 10:32

Of course, CGI.

Well, that was going to happen either way, consistently drawing designs like that would be too expensive for a show like this, unfortunately. Maybe we'll get a scenes that aren't CGI like we did for [C], or maybe the action won't even be that important...

LoweGear · 2013-07-07, 11:14

If they wanted a departure from the Gatchaman aesthetic, they're doing it very, very well, as far as departing anyway

The aesthetic change alone I have no problem with though, but the actual designs themselves don't jive with me all that well

Kanon · 2013-07-07, 11:17

The only decent design is the white one. The other two look terrible.

Nayim · 2013-07-07, 11:19

For some reason, I miss the suit suppose bird leitmotif because it's lost touch of Gatchaman. Just saying.

Kazu-kun · 2013-07-07, 12:37

Some screenshots.

The new suits are no really that bad. lol

kuromitsu · 2013-07-07, 13:16

The suits are a bit gaudy for me scratch that, the more I look at them the more gaudy they are.

But otherwise they're OK. They should've gotten the guy who designed the suits in Sacred Seven, those were awesome.

The show itself looks pretty awesome.

Neki Ecko · 2013-07-07, 13:45

I can roll with those suits, i can't wait to see it.

duckroll · 2013-07-07, 14:06

I like the way the show looks. Not a huge fan of the actual suit designs, but I'm definitely a fan of the overall visual design - which the suits do fit well into. On the own the suits definitely look like over-busy mecha suits which stand out too much, but in the context of the screens, I think everything looks really cool. Love the colors.

Kazu-kun · 2013-07-07, 14:39

Some footage (it's cam so pretty LQ). I think it's the OP

It looks pretty cool!

Bern-san · 2013-07-07, 14:51

I'm liking the designs in the animation itself although they're still pretty... weird. The OP is really cool, I'd better keep my expectations not too high to avoid disappointment but damn it's complicated to not be hyped.

xizro345 · 2013-07-07, 14:57

Well, it does look nice, and I never tried to make a connection with the original despite several ties shown in the OP, so I think it's a good point for me.

Kazu-kun · 2013-07-07, 14:58

Hajime looks more like a cat than a bird. lol

Seriously though, the suit design aside, some of her movements in the OP make her look really cat-like.

kuromitsu · 2013-07-07, 15:29

Wow, the OP looks great.

I joked about "at least it's not Apple" re: Motoko's Surface in GITS:Arise, but now it seems Apple's money went to sponsoring Gatchaman Crowds.

dark998 · 2013-07-07, 20:34

OP video is fantastic, great visuals for a great song. Now to wait for the HD version.

Zip · 2013-07-07, 21:00

Oh man, those suits look like the bastard children of Tiger and Bunny and Virtual-On. And those two series had specific reasons to have such gaudy and colorful designs, but not here. It's like the exact opposite of the character designs, which are sharp, clean, and stylish. I really would have preferred some revamped birdsuits like the new live-action movie.

I hope we get a more high-quality version of that OP later, though I'm not liking the song.

Student no.0 · 2013-07-07, 22:09

Those suits took me 10 minutes to start liking them. Now I won't need to say they'll take some getting used to anymore. Can't wait to see this show.

Obelisk ze Tormentor · 2013-07-08, 00:55

I think for the suit designs, they really took the words “Science Ninja Team” from the original’s title to heart so much that they don’t resemble birds anymore
