by There may be no need to give up even if there’s no progress for a long time.
It’s been a year since the screening of ” Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM,” released as a new work after a long silence of about 20 years. It was also announced the other day that “Peleliu—Guernica of Paradise -,” based on the manga of the same name, will be made into an anime movie. The original author, Kazuyoshi Takeda, reported on his X (formerly Twitter) about the anime adaptation, which will be the first in 3 years and 9 months.
In this way, even if the progress is not known from the outside, the anime production may progress more than expected. This time, we will introduce three works we want to see announced soon. On April 19, 2024, it was announced that the production of the movie “Yuri!!! on ICE: The Movie: ICE ADOLESCENCE” was canceled, but there has been no such announcement for the works mentioned in this article. From the fans’ perspective, it is impossible to know, but can we believe that the production is secretly continuing…?
Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway’s Flash Part 2 Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway’s Flash, the first part of the trilogy, was released on June 11, 2021. In the same year, it was announced that the working title of Part 2 was Son of Bright, but there has been no further news since then. Fans who were amazed by the overwhelming visuals of Part 1 are probably anxious to see when they can see the next one. Considering that Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM was released in January 2024 and the much talked about Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Beginning was released in January 2025, it would make sense if it were to start screening in January 2026, but what will happen? Speaking of which, Mobile Suit Gundam UC2 (tentative title) was announced in 2018. I’m curious to see how it progresses and where it’s going.
Sword Art Online (completely new original movie version) Many people are looking forward to the latest installment of the anime Sword Art Online, which has been running since 2012.
This work was revealed at the anime’s 10th-anniversary event on November 6, 2022, but this was only an announcement of the start of production. Usually, it takes many years, from the beginning of production to the completion of an anime, so fans should “stay cool” and wait for further news and release.
Aim for the Top 3 (working title) The OVA Aim for the Top! Released by Gainax from 1988 to 1989, it is still a popular masterpiece. The production of Aim for the Top 3 (working title), which is likely a part of the series, was announced by Gainax in September 2018. However, there has been no follow-up news since then. Gainax also went bankrupt in 2024, but whether this had any impact is unclear. Among the fans who were excited when this game was announced, some probably still can’t give up on “The Third,” but perhaps they should be prepared to wait about 12,000 years.
