Nice one :)

Well, gotta say. Didn't expect Thunderbirds to be the one to get a Shin film.

Also, next up is totally gonna be Shin Ninja Captors.

You say that but if that is what catches his fancy I would not be surprised if he goes with it. :lolol

No, but it is understandable because the otakus of Japan during Anno's generation love Thunderbirds. There was even a sketch comedy show in Japan during the 80s that spoofed it and had skits of it. Even Sgt. Frog shows love to Thunderbirds with one of their planes being a nod to Thunderbird 2.

Nifty! I don't know what this is (though I probably will soon), but Anno is really going all out with these "Shin" movies. I guess now that Evangelion is over, he's now going all-out on whatever he thinks would be cool.

Here I am waiting for Shin Gamera or Shin Akumaizer 3. :lolol

I think Jetman would make for a good Shin Sentai

Thunderbirds was a sci-fi series about a rescue team primarily made up of a group of 5 brothers who each piloted a specialized vehicle. It was a marionette animated series, which made it very distinct in style.

Also, Shin Akumaizer 3 would be sick as hell.

It also directly inspired Tsubaraya; he and the creator of Thunderbirds were good friends! If you're familiar with Thunderbirds and you end up watching Ultraseven you'll get a lot of deja vu with some of the miniature sets

Maybe Shin Gavan will be next. Who knows.

Thanks for the information! Lots of stuff I didn't know about, and looking into the series, it certainly sounds interesting. Curious to see Anno's take on this.

Having seen the show I would like to add that the pacing could feel slow by today's standards but the technical side of the show kind of mitigates that, I think.

Thunderbirds is British, no? Maybe we'll get Shin Dr. Who next. Or for stuff outside of Japan that is popular there, Shin Minions. Shinions, if you will.

That being said, it's cool to see him working on so many things. I'm guessing this means that Shin Ultraman turned out well, and Shin Kamen Rider is likely going smoothly...because why would they hire him if those productions were a mess?

So, from what I can tell, this isn't quite a full movie (which is a shame, Thunderbirds could use one of those that isn't bad), it's a re-edit and update of some compliation Anno made of Thunderbirds back in the 80's which was released on Japanese Video tapes. Which is still neat he's being given the chance to do that. but it's not quite the next Shin Ultraman

Imagine Shin Fist Of The North Star but it's just a re-edit that emulates Anno's private recordings of when the anime aired on TV. It would have stuff like random VHS tracking that distorts it just because Anno's copy had them at that precise moment in the show. :lolol
