BIGONE Inc. announces the production of a live-action film, based on the original manga series by
Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa .
The series was the first of its kind - a masterpiece of Japanese manga and anime - featuring three vehicles coming together to form one giant robot.
is the story of giant robots by Go Nagai & Ken Ishikawa written between 1974 and 1975.
It ran as a manga series in Weekly Shonen Sunday and also as a TV series on Fuji Television.
The pinnacle of Japanese giant robot stories, is credited with introducing the "combining forces" element to the genre.
While the TV series adopted a simple storyline of goodness prevailing over evil to appeal to a younger demographic, the original manga series by Ken Ishikawa had a more violent and harsh tone, which is celebrated by hardcore fans. The seminal masterpiece, appealing to a wide variety of anime and manga fans for many years will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2025.
To raise funds for the production of a proof-of-concept trailer, focused on developing advanced visual effects techniques, the company is running a Kickstarter campaign until
May 1st, 2023 .
We are planning to release the feature film in theaters in 2025, in honor of 50th anniversary.
Realizing the unique look of the original manga will require many technically-challenging visual effects. To develop and test these effects properly, we are planning to produce a short, proof-of-concept film in collaboration with our team of talented artists at home and abroad.
We are launching a Kickstarter campaign, and are humbly asking you, our fellow manga and fans, to help us bring this amazing series to the big screen!
