The animation studio Sunrise, which belongs to Bandai Namco Filmworks, has initiated a comprehensive project for its fiftieth anniversary. The activities span a period from 2026 to 2028.
The starting point of the celebrations is the fiftieth anniversary of the studio's first in-house production, "Muteki ChÅjin Zambot 3", from 1977. In this context, a completely new production of the series "Armored Trooper Votoms" was announced. The title is "Armored Trooper Votoms: The Gray Witch" and will be directed by Mamoru Oshii.
For the anniversary project, a dedicated logo, a first image, and a motto were developed. The image combines characters from fifteen significant works in the studio's history, including "Mobile Suit Gundam", "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion", "Gintama", "Mashin Hero Wataru", "Brave Exkaiser", and "Love Live!".
The slogan "Jump, Fly, Soar! Another 50 Years of Creation" comes from director Ryosuke Takahashi, who is responsible for series such as "Sun Fang Dougram" and "Armored Trooper Votoms". He also wrote the phrase in personal calligraphy. The official logo was designed by graphic designer and art director Sueaki Uesugi, while the first image was created by his colleague Kosuke Kawamura.
Further details about the plans for the Sunrise 50th Anniversary Project are to be announced in the future.
