During Anime Expo last week, Legendary Pictures took to the stage to announce that they were making a live-action Gundam series. Gundam is a legendary name in and of itself, and so for it to get the live-action treatment after decades of popular animes and video games is quite a treat.
There are pretty much no details on how it’ll be made, whether it’ll be an original story, or follow the stories of one of the animes. Personally, I would love to see Gundam Wing made into a film series, but that might be too much to ask.
This isn’t the first time that an anime has been given the live-action treatment. Attack on Titan, Full Metal Alchemist, and even Bleach has gotten the treatment, and with mixed results. Ironically, Gundam could work due to its more mechanical and space-based style. But we’ll have to see.
