The fall season of anime is about to start. And while there are some good sequels[续集] and promising new series coming
up, it is the familiar faces from Mobile Suit
Gundam 00 that brings up some sort of hope for a good season.
Back in 2009, a theatrical production was announced at the end of the second season of Gundam 00, and the Japanese premiere[首映] of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie: A Wakening of the Trailblazer would be on September 18th, 2010. In a recent interview, the director of the movie, Seiji Mizushima, said that he was impressed with the new Star Trek movie and attempted to capture that sensation[轰动] in his own work.
The story of the movie takes place two years after the conclusion of the TV series. The events of AD 2312 have jump-started[推助起动] innovation[革新] in humanity, and the Federation has begun to exploit the power of Innovators. However, a new enemy named Descartes Shaman emerges, and Celestial Being has to return once more to quell[镇压,扑灭] the threat…
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is the first Gundam series to be animated in widescreen and in high-definition[精度],
as well as the first to be set in the non-fictional AD era. Although the fact that it begins as a jumble[混乱] of plots strung together with no apparent[明显的] direction has been largely criticized, the development eventually
falls onto the right track after the anime reaches its turning point. Since then, its “sheer momentum[动力,势头]
is breathtaking,” says a critic. “The catastrophic[悲惨的]
fates in store for its cast make for compelling[引人注目的] viewing.”
More often than not, a series begins really well only to come to a lousy[很糟的] halt[中断] so revolting[令人厌恶的]
that you wish you had never witnessed its demise[死亡].
Every once in a while, however, there comes an anime
which has the opposite effect: it starts off as a
stillbirth[死胎], only to come to life when you least expect it. Gundam 00 is a perfect example of the latter case. Frankly speaking, the best thing about the series is that there’s always more to come, so let’s hope that its
big-screen finale[结局] will turn out to be, as some fan sites put it, “everything Gundam should be – huge cast, lots of politics and big battles.”
秋季动画即将开锣。虽然也有一些不错的续集和有潜力的新作即将播出,不过让我们对新一季产生一定期待的却是几张来自《机动战士高达00》的老面孔。
早在2009年第二季结束时,《高达00》就公布了制作剧场版的计划。《机动战士高达00剧场版:觉醒的先驱者》定于2010年9月18日在日本首映。电影导演水岛精二在最近一次采访中说,最新的《星际迷航》电影让他印象深刻,他希望自己的作品能带来同样的震撼效果。
电影讲述了电视动画结束两年后发生的故事。西历2312年发生的一系列事件推动了人类的革新进步,地球联邦开始将“变革者”投入实用。然而这时出现了一个名叫笛卡尔·谢尔曼的新敌人,天人组织不得不重返战场,扑灭威胁的火苗……
《机动战士高达00》是高达系列中第一部高清画质的宽屏动画,同时也是(该系列中)第一部发生在写实性的公元纪年的作品。尽管动画开播之初只是一堆没有明显联系的情节混杂在一起——这一点受到了广泛批评——但是当作品进入转折点后,其故事发展终于走上了正轨。从那以后,动画“那纯粹的推进势头让人不由屏息静气”,有人这样评价道。“剧中人物即将面临的悲惨命运简直让观众目不暇接。”
大多数情况下,一部开篇不错的动画往往会变成烂尾戏,糟糕得让你希望自己从未亲眼目睹它的破灭。但偶尔会有那么一部动画产生截然不同的效果——它的开头惨不忍睹,却在你完全没有期待的时候突然焕发生机。《高达00》正是后者的典型例子。老实说,这部动画最棒的地方在于它总是充满惊喜。正如一些粉丝网站所言,希望其银幕完结篇可以实现“高达应有的一切——强大的阵容、各种政治题材,以及宏大的战斗场面”。
