Gundam Build Real, Gundam Builder Series Live Action Announced

 Gundam Build Real of the live-action version of New Gundam Build Series directed by Katsuyuki Motohiro will be released on March 29th! Realize a serious Gunpla battle with live action and CG.

BANDAI SPIRITS and Sunrise have teamed up to release "Gundam Build Real" as a live-action version of the "New Gundam Build Series" from March 29, 2021 (Monday).

Gundam Build Real was produced by Sunrise under the supervision of Katsuyuki Motohiro as a video commemorating the 40th anniversary of Gunpla as part of the "GUNPLA LINK PROJECT" project commemorating the 40th anniversary of Gunpla in 2020. This is a special video realized by live-action synthesizing a CG Gunpla battle with the youth group image drama of high school students.

What is "Gundam Build Real"?

A plastic model of the robot anime monument "Mobile Suit Gundam" -it's been a few years since "Gundam" created a major movement in the 1980s. Among the heyday of e-sports, "Gundam Model Battle" is driving its popularity. Scan their own Gunpla and operate the Gundam projected in full size by a special drone to fight. When scanning, "attack power", "defense power", "special move", and "speed" are displayed in AR (augmented reality), and their abilities are reflected. Therefore, not only the maneuvering technique but also the Gunpla production technique (assembly, painting, modification of weapons, etc.) determines the outcome. 

Hiro, the main character, formed a team "Bright" with his friends when he was in elementary school. We were aiming to win the district tournament by upgrading the one-piece Gunpla (Nana Hachi) that we all bought together. However, the day before the tournament, I lost the Gunpla that should have been in my bag. Hiro who is upset treats one of the members as a criminal and develops into a fight. The team "Bright" will be disbanded without participating in the tournament, but ... four years have passed since then.

One day when they were in their first year of high school, they met again with a message from one of the members. Hiro the pilot, Takumi the build (in charge of the aircraft), Kentaro the programmer, Nakamaru the commander, and Sota Alma (in charge of the weapon). After becoming high school students, they will aim for the national tournament again. Adolescent "Bright" members reunited, but due to disagreements, they faced various crises. Farewell to friends, feud with rival teams. It is a youth group image drama by high school students who keep their dreams and friendships in their hearts and grow little by little through the Gunpla battle.
