New Gatchaman CG Film!

[Lencho01]

LOL all this comes out right when the Russos announce they're working on a Battle of the Planets film.

The art was actually posted a while back. But I thought it was interesting that the artist has worked plenty of MCU films if you go through his profile.

I mean for Gatchaman, I'm not fond of the long angular character designs and faces.

I mean while I wanted to see this get made more than Astroboy, it would've probably made even less money. More mature CG animated action/adventure style movies tend not to do as well. The only one I can think of that is similar that did well was Incredibles but that had the Pixar/Disney branding behind it which is pretty powerful. Plus it was inspired by classic American comics and superheroes. Gatchaman is based on an obscure Japanese anime series with a segmented fanbase. Think about it, very few people in America have actually seen the original version which was Gatchaman. People in America that did watch it when they were kids watched the reversions which were G-Force, Battle of the Planets, and Eagle Riders.

It was the same in France, the original anime was heavily edited, all the stuff with the androgyne character was cut off and replaced by a robot like R2D2.

They really need to rename this to the Battle of the Planets because honestly most of the boomers that grew up with this don't even know it was originally called that. But they know the show.

I created a separate thread for the live action adaptation of Battle of the Planets here since it is a separate thing from the original Gatchaman
