Nice!! I'm definitely looking forward to this, the "RahXephon of the 70s" (RahXephon was based off Reideen)

I'm very familiar with Reideen (thanks to Super Robot Wars) but I've never actually seen the original series (and the 70s kiddy-style opening theme REALLY annoys me: "Yuke! Yuke! Yuke! Reideen! Reideen!")

Too bad it's not directed by Tomino...since he only works for Sunrise



So, Sunrise, how about that 21st Century Mobile Suit Gundam UC0079 remake? (No, Gundam SEED doesn't count)

It's probably going to be geared towards kids like the previous versions of the series, but it's worth a try. I'll watch the first episode when it's released.

SSJ Gohan 64: I don't see that happening, but it'd be great to see a remake of "1970's Evangelion."

RahXephon was based on raideen? Cool! S.O. has seen some Raideen and liked it... says it's one of the cooler series.
But will Yas be doing the chara design? Or someone else? Is Yas even doing anything anime-related anymore, or has he retired?

guess i have to rephrase my last post? i was just trying to point out that reideen already had a remake in the 90s. i hope this one is more sucessful. if yasuhiko does the character designs that would be the most amazing thing in the history of anime considering he's hasn't done anything within the last 10 years. but if this project is anything like the recent gaiking remake then id highly doubt it.

as for rahxephon, I've never heard of the idea originating from the reideen storyline but there are some similarities (especially if youve played srw mx) oh well i hope this post doesnt get deleted also lol. just trying to express my opinion Rolling Eyes

Actually 1980-1981.

Correct: Chouja Reideen (1996-1997)

The 2007 version looks a bit like a kid's show, though less than the first one. The 3D designs look kind of cool.

I hope they sneak in a RahXephon reference or two as well. Cool

I've never seen confirmation that the guys at Bones based it off of Raideen, but the design of both main mecha (down to the bow) have many similarities. I believe the Gabthley's (from Zeta GUndam) Fade-in gun is a direct nod to Raideen. I grew up watching this show in the 70's but have not seen it since. I still have the toys and can hum the theme song (can't remember the words though) and had Tomino sign one of my cardboard Raideen books at Anime Expo 1992. He was surprised when I pulled it out (along with my LD of GUndam III) and exclaimed "natsukashi!"

I'm also a huge Yas fan (still sad that most of you haven't seen Giant Gorg or Arion) but he is only doing manga these days.

Wikipedia is your friend. The director of RahXephon said it both in an interview in Newtype and in a panel interview that made it here to ANN:

Anime Expo 2006 - Yutaka Izubuchi Focus Panel:
Quote:
RahXephon shares some traits with some of the 70s robot anime. Was that intentional? Were you trying to remake one of those?

You're absolutely right. Basically it's been a long time since Brave Raideen. Since a show like that hasn't existed for a long time, I wanted to do something to bring that type of show back. Normally people in their teens and twenties wouldn't know about Raideen. I just thought people had forgotten about those type of shows, I thought it would be refreshing to it back. Ironically, Tomino, the director of Raideen, is the director of Gundam, which is a completely different type of shows.


John Oppliger notes similarities to Megazone 23 (OAV) (one of the shows used to make Robotech: The Untold Story (U.S. movie) ).

Now I can only hope that it is more in tune with the Original series and not with the 90's remake Cool

and praying it gets an R1 release, being a Prod !G product Shocked
