GDWO Anime ?

[ItuYosha]

No sure where to post this question :D


Before i join you guys i was living under a rock :D

Had not heard about GDWO or alot of other ginga mangas,

But since i found out, i started to get curious if GDWO was going for anime as GNG and GDWO,

Have not found much info, (i really do suck with google) other then one Finnish forum, but cant read it :D.
What i did learn somehow is, they maybe was gonna do a episode and see how it goes, if this was some bullshit talk or not i dont know.

Anyone around here knows and could spread some light for me :D


Cheers.
And sorry if this subject have already be up somewhere but i am as bad with forums as i am with google :D

As far as I know, there are no plans for a GDWO anime. The manga wasn't very popular in Japan, from what I've seen, and the prior series' anime (GDW) also seems to have been a flop. It's probably not something any anime company wants to take a risk with. Especially since GNG and GDW are the only two of Yoshi's works to have gotten an anime, at all, despite the relative popularity of SSY.

I could be wrong, but it seems to be a rumor, since Japanese sites are turning up nothing. It'd be cool to see at least an OVA or two, though.

aa ic, :(

Thanks and i do hope you are wrong hahaa :D

the GNG anime became a major hit and seems to be kinda cult in Japan, right? But I think everone can sorta agree with the GDW anime being a bit of a flop, and clearly, Studio Deen didn't priority it too highly. Deen has created some really cool looking animes, but the level of animation in GDW is just not quite up there... So I doubt it, especially if the manga is not too popular either.

A side note though, a manga of SSY could be cool

Oh, the GDW anime was a flop? And here I always thought it was more popular than GNG...

The GDW did way better on the fact that it had a complete set of English subs, whereas Kit and her past team were the first to finish the series, starting at episode 10 or 11, because the first set of subs from the other team are notoriously bad (you can find many stunning quotes from those subs all around, they're hilarious). GDW's subs are of good quality so lots of people found them more easily available online than GNG, at least in America, while Scandinavia got a lot of dubs at least, even if the majority of them were bizarre.

GDWO however is doing incredibly poor in Japan. GNG and GDW were successful there and GDW has a lot of merchandise that had sold, GDWO does not. There's not a chance that it will get an anime, same as people wanting there to be an anime of Ginga Densetsu Riki. It's not gonna happen, it can't, because no studio or business would want to jeopardize everything on something that already started out as a major flop.

The sad part about this is that GDWO actually would have good pacing, episode wise. GDWO tries to have more buildup to the different POVs like Sirius and the Kama brothers, Tenka, Gennai, Tesshin, Rigel/Kotetsu, Orion, Masamune, etc. These would work brilliantly in an anime for episodes to make a longer series with better buildup and making you wait even longer to see which POV gets the next episode. While I don't think GDWO is as infamously bad as its sales say it is, I would have rather a team attempted to work on better reboots for GNG and GDW to add more to them. GNG not so much since it was done fairly well, and GDW was really high quality for voice actors, and the characters had better interactions than they do in the manga, but the animation itself was embarrassingly awful, there's no excuse for it, and once they realized they didn't have the budget to continue the series, they cut out huuuuge chunks of material, such as characters, sub-plots, and whole events. I don't particularly care that they ended only on the Hougen arc, I don't like the arcs after that, but it'd be nice to have the GDW series get the better animation and budgeting that it deserves.

For GDWO, it would unfortunately be of Studio DEEN 'quality' and probably be canceled halfway into the season. There's just no real demand for GDWO to begin with so companies can't put a lot of time and money into a project no one wants or asked for. So even if GDWO would do the best, when considering build up, plot, and different character POVs, there's very, very, very little chance of it coming out, and an even lesser chance of it being good.

When i win Euro Jackpot i will see it done ;)

If GDWO had just been 'Orion', about a pup and his siblings in Japan, it might have been a better seller. We can always hope for a GDA anime /shot.

[kaiarmydog]

If I had the time I would animate GDWO. But I agree with Rascal, but I hope GDA gets an anime but there's a slim chance of that happening.

[kaidog]

I agree with everything that Rascal said... Personally, I have my fingers crossed for a GDW reboot, but that will probably never happen LOL. SSY would make an interesting anime, that's for sure.
