Easy cash

Are they that lucrative?

>>143625932
Would you rather watch the 40+ episodes that make up the original Gundam or the 3 compilation movies?

>>143626028
Correct answer is the series of course.

>>143626028
40+ episodes, I did just that.

Would you read a whole book or watch a whole show or just a Wikipedia highlights reel synopsis?

>>143626069
>just a Wikipedia highlights reel synopsis?
I've actually done this several times before

>>143626028
Why wouldn't you watch the series? Do you have downs?

Why don't recap movies take the rebuild path?

Can't reuse animation then.
See >>143625964.

No need to create new animation (maybe a few scenes) and since there's already an established fanbase there's no need for a lot of advertising. They usually also have very limited runs

Because when it comes to shoving 40+ episodes into 3 movies, pacing tends to go to shit. And don't start going "but muh filler episode hate". I rather deal with a few of those type of episodes than dealing with content getting cut out because movie length restraints.

>>143625932
because not everyone watches anime on tv

>>143626028
series first. though the movies are great for rewatches.
