When is Gundam joining the Idol path too?

We already had Build Fighters and Try though.

>>14143229
>Now if you want to profit with anime, you need idols.
But that's not true at all

>>14143240
The same thing was going on with Delta. Also, something about tomahawks.

>>14143229
>When is Gundam joining the Idol path too
that's Macross. You're telling us when is Gundam is becoming Macross?

Most of the top 20 don't have idols. Which includes the number one.

>It's a "Macross never had idols as important before" thread

Look at an actual sales chart. Just because Love Live and Im@s are on it doesn't mean that every anime needs idols to sell

UC Gundam show about girls in surplus and outdated mobile suits, participating in combat games with paintball guns and lower power lasers.

FemFrontal exists in Gundam as Luger Lugh.
When will the rest of the Neo Zeon idol squad be revealed?

a cross over will probably happen but probably not this one since the AV drama thing

Mecha + Idols is the epitome of cash cow.

You win money from the mecha toys.

You also win money from live concerts, cd music, also from moe figures.

>>14144097
>You win money from the mecha toys
As if Captain Earth, Valvrave, etc made a lot of money for the companies involved in their production.

>You also win money from live concerts, cd music, also from moe figures
Are you even aware that there are other short-lived idol stuff? Idols aren't just limited to AKB, LL and iM@S, you know.

If your idol plan doesn't take off, how would you recoup the expenses you made building up the your idols (VAs, promotions which doubly so if you're taking up unknowns or new recruits instead of relying on a relatively established/experienced VAs).

>>14144132
Implying sunrise wouldn't be able to do good mecha designs to sell toys.

Implying sunrise wouldn't be able to hire top A seiyuu for their Idols like Nana Mizuki.

They can do it, and they would win a lot of money.

>>14144218
>sunrise wouldn't be able to do good mecha designs to sell toys
Did Buddy Complex even get some Gunpla?

>>14144218
>sunrise wouldn't be able to hire top A seiyuu for their Idols like Nana Mizuki
I think I heard that only TM Revolution, Nana Mizuki and their recording companies got the better end of VVV. But then again, that's probably what the Valvrager is just spouting.

Come to think of it, how did Cross Ange fare for Sunrise. I mean, you do have names like Nana Mizuki, Yukari Tamura and Yui Horie in there.

>>14143229
Thing is, Gundam was never about the music

>>14143515

not that guy but i'm pretty sure cross ange aotyay was that silly on purpose and they knew it'd become a mess. I mean they hired Fukuda of all people to do something not related to gendumb.

Also this was just about turning gundam into macross-tier faggotry. If they fuck up they can always make some more UC zeon or feddie fanwank to make up for their losses.
also they could always adapt crossbone or AoZ to print money

>How I would build the setting for a new gundam show with BOYS.

>It could be something like 0079. With giant robots being supreme MILITARY tools. But the setting could be much more PLAGIARISTIC like the final fantasy games. :^)

>There are gundams for each person like an BAND. WING Gundam, HEAVYARMS Gundam, SANDROCK Gundam. DEATHSCYTHE Gundam

>Then the main character who would be SOLDIERS are from the AFOREMENTIONED class. They need to FIGHT and FIGHT AND CONTINUE FIGHTING powerfull ENEMY ROBOTS.

Seed doesn't really count since there was barely any focus on its idol until they killed her off

seed started with lacus and meer

guess what happened after that

>>14145808
big sales

>>14145814

Marina sings so it counts as an idol
Sei's Mom, a porn star
Mirai, another idol
Kudelia, teacher idol
Marida, puru idol
Bellri, praido idol
Onne Sama, sister idol

>>14145372
sadly that was probably peak Sawano, after that his other OSTs just didn't feel as good to me, though his work Kotetsujou no Kabaneri sounds pretty good so far

That reminds me, I would LOVE a fantasy Gundam (not "sci-fi that's so advanced that they look like medieval Europe for some reason, I technocast firebolt using MATH, inflict 3 damage"). The details are super easy to flesh out. Just make the world look like Escaflowne for most things.

Mobile Suits (metal giants piloted by a mage, foot soldier or paladin depending on the role)
Voli (not!Zaku; head would be like a sallet helmet, monoeye and all that in the slit; uses a REAL axe, no ranged)
Ruitel (derivative of Voli made for mages; mages are the only ones who can power things use Anti-MS Cannons)
Gundams (Golem-like guardian MS that can only be piloted by the prophesized heroes; they have many secrets)
Keurett (Commander use; paladin only; probably on par with the Gundam's base abilities)

I'll always be waiting. Honestly they don't even have to star Knight Gundam in it if they want to go for unique designs.

>>14145831
Sei's Mom, a porn star
Mirai, unsatisfied wife moonlighting as porn star
Kudelia, pleases old men for money porn star
Marida, unwilling (at first) porn star
Bellri, quick to fire warning shots porn star
Onne Sama, taboo porn star

Mobile Idol Gundam

Well, Kirara became some sort of a Hollywood star as mentioned in TRY.

We can have girls trying to become idols through gunpla battle and throw in love interest memes(and plenty of innocent blush) while not acknowledging anything else in TRY.

We can dream.
And remains a dream

>>14145887
Exactly.

>>14145899
Basically, yeah.

>>14145941
Otonokizaka had a gunpla club. Unfortunately unlike ų's they were not as successful.

LoveLive Itasha gunplas when?

>>14145940
Throw in some political intrigue with the Jupiter people, the fuel needed for the war effort, and a neutral ace they can both go after in a love triangle.
>in the end he doesn't end up with either of them, the war ends, and they become friends again
>feelgood happy ending of the series

Perfect.

>>14146162
I really wonder what their gunplas look like, dang Try for teasing schools based on other Sunrise animes (It would be kek if that school based on Ideon used Gigantis)

>>14145890
Then make everything inside of a MMO Like world that mc got trapped in.

>>14145880
>Married to Bright "Chad" Noah
>Unsatisfied

Pick one and only one.

I know exactly how to integrate idols in to Gundam, Newtypes!

We set it after Victory. Those pesky Jovians are at it again. This time their attacks are accompanied by the singing of a teenage girl newtype. Her song makes the Jovian forces super effective by subconciously coordinating all the forces into hive mind.

So the League Military and what ever remains of EFSF, go looking for their own female newtype idol. whose song can also do the same.

She'll perform form the bridge of the mobile suit carrier Prancer or the second seat in the new Victory 6 Gundam.

They'll be up against the Jovian songstress and their NotChar.

>cameo appearance during the idol contest by an AKB0048 group that is all Purus.

This doesn't have much to do with Gundam going idol, but this is a thing I've sometimes wondered about in regards to cute-girl shows:

If you took the cast, replaced them all with puppies, and changed nothing else, would the show change much? After all, I've always felt that many cute-girl shows casts always have the qualities of puppies...or kittens if you prefer.
