The staff announced for it was extremely suspicious (you're telling me Mitsuo Fukuda's going to work with Okouchi in the year of G-Witch vs The SEED movie?? Yoshiyuki Sadamoto on character design for a Dynamic Pro adaptation? Isn't Kohei Tanaka retired??) so I've been looking into what the hell this thing is and where it came from.

Problem one: STUDIO GAINA. As far as we still know this is just a holding company owned by Hiroyuki Yamaga that hoards certain Gainax IPs, selling them off bit by bit when another deadline comes due on his debts to Hideaki Anno/Studio Khara. They said they're making a Gunbuster 3 for real, honest like 4 years ago so announcing a full blown project with staff is inherently suspicious.

Problem two: Using GAINA and MANGA PRODUCTIONS are layers of obfuscation. this is the MiSK Foundation. That is to say, the Vision Fund 2030. That is to say, this is a MBS joint.

So what I'm assuming happened is Yamaga or somebody else at Gaina managed to get into talks either with MBS or some other Vision Fund rep, heard they like Grendizer, listed some other things that are popular with The Kids and just said "oh yeah if you throw me like 30 million in petrodollars I can get you the people who made those things to give you a Grendizer".

Won't be surprised if this vanishes before surfacing. Also wouldn't be surprised if it DOES release but is a horribly bungled production hell.

Mostly I wanna see Fukuda do some reactionary whining while Kouji shows Duke Fleed around the bold new Photonic Power Lab in NEOM!
