...technically speaking 15 years is not enough time for three generations. I mean, it's not like the original characters would be retired by now... most of them would only be in their late 30s and 40s, would they not?

It's nice to know they're not going to solely rely on CGI for this film. I'm looking forward to it.
Suck a bag of d***s, Michael Bay. Patlabor will show you what a proper robot film looks like!

Good job ignoring Pacific Rim's existence. I'm not expecting much from this film aside from wacky live action hijinks and typical Asylum-level CG. I think there's a reason I usually just avoid modern Japanese cinema when it comes to sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre material.

live action might be cool I guess, but does anyone else wish they were instead making more anime?

I loved Pacific Rim even if the Jagaers were done in CG, I still liked the various designs they had for each mecha. Though I get annoyed when people keep comparing it to Transformers when the Autobots & Decepticons act in their own free will while the Jagaers in Pacific Rim were controlled by humans.

Getting a live action adaptation is more prestigious than an anime one, because it costs more money to make. Plus, Rurouni Kenshin made a buttload of money, so they're probably trying to cash in on it.
But yeah, I'd rather see more anime. Live action adaptations are always too damn hokey (ie, Nodame Cantabile's "foreign but not too foreign" casting of Eiji Wentz and Becky as French/Russian people...and the first GTO drama shifting the story to high school and then removing everything that made GTO special, so that it ended up being a Kenpachi-sensei clone).

I sincerely hope this won't suck. CG not looking like PS3 cutscenes would greatly contribute to this.

I'm not sure there'd be any way of making giant robots with practical effects and keep it convincing. With scale model animatronics, you'd have to do a good job of conveying the size and weight, and guys in suits would just look like every Godzilla film and make it just pure gooftball.

I wasn't saying they should of gone the Super Sentai approach for the movie. I was only saying that the mechas look very detailed and well done. And that CG was the only way to accomplish the large scale battles in the movie. However I always encounter people in public who are very picky on how a robot should look like in a film. I'm not one of those people because I don't care what type of special effects were used, as long as the robots look like robots.

I don't own a smartphone and so hence, don't have the app. Will have to wait until a little longer, I guess, until a promo video is released before seeing what the machine movements are like. In any case, I'll still be looking forward to when these live-action episodes and movies start to roll out. Hopefully, the transporter will look much better than what I've seen in some still shots.
