Gunpla models are still one of the highest-grossing anime merchandise in Japan. No wonder new mecha series come out every year and Gundam has been a driving force in the mecha trope of the anime industry.

It is still one of the biggest franchises ever with anime, manga, live-action, games, and many other media adaptations. Not to mention the tons of sequels and spinoffs.

Gundam Build Real is a live-action video project that will be streamed on Youtube starting 29th March.

The upcoming project’s trailer starts off on a very serious note, with the protagonists opening a suitcase that seems to have important or expensive material inside it. Soon we realize that the suitcase actually contains model kits of Gunpla.

The characters in the trailer quickly start building their own Gunpla figurines. Remember constructing a lego toy as a kid while closely following the instructions? This trailer reminds me precisely of those days.

Gunpla Model kits Real Grade RX-78-2 and MS-06S Char’s Zaku Kit are featured in the trailer. The actual video project will include other kits as well.

Gundam Build Real focuses on a group of high schoolers who enjoy Gunpla battle. They have named their group Team Bright and it consists of Hiro (pilot), Takumi (builder), Kentaro (programmer), and Taichi (communicator).

The team members specialize in making their own Gunpla and they can even modify them to their wishes. The new project is sure to re-energize us and make us remember the days when we used to play with mecha models all day long!

The series changes its setting in each part, ranging from Earth to far-off planets. All the shows have their own story and some of them take place in an alternative universe. In every story, Gundam has unique purposes.

Sometimes it’s a deadly war weapon, sometimes a beautiful art or sometimes even an outdated technology.
