Lol, sorry but since some aspects of the show are so naive, I think I'll have to pull out the Epic Fail card. I'd say this show is more targeted towards teenagers. I doubt anyone mature enough would seek something deep in a mecha show like Gundam... (Especially this one) Then again the show might just be the japanese view of post-9/11 so what seems naive to me, might not be for them.


I second that.

"Mizushima: I guess the story was oriented to the adult audiences too much." = epic fail right there. Then again, a failure producer for a failure series :)

meh for me 00 is the best AU Gundam
not know well for UC...
SEED ?
lol don't make me laugh.
we already know CE is 'resetted' UC btw.

for the topic itself
yeah i think 00 is more suited to male fans.
yes many "bishounen" in this series, but i think the directing is more suited to male audience.
not many gal's out there interested with engine fetish maniac XD

personally i think 00 kinda similar with W


ALL HAIL SAKA!

I thought all the characters in G00 were all too mysterious and lone wolf, which is probably why it appealed to woman so much. My personal favorite gundam series is 8th MS Team. I love the gritty realism and how the Gundams arent invincible.

Also I agree that there should have been more background on the characters in the first season. Because I found myself not caring what happened to them, until the second season.

agree 08th ms team was the best
can't say much about gundam 00 as i didn't watch most of it

hmm, I always though from seed onwards it was aimed at female audience more than male due to the appearance of the characters.
Well, I'm still waiting for a Gundam series with mid-30yrs old veteran pilot as the main character, and Crossbone...

I just hope that Gundam Unicorn will be made for adult audiences and not the "next Gundam anime for kids".

Since when was Gundam for kids...? Aside from the SD series which are all games. Perhaps, they should produce a SD Gundam anime to win back their children fans. However, not sure about other Gundam fans, I won't be watching it unless its like Hetalia.

Gundam has always been for kids since they realised how many toys they could sell from all the model kits they sold. Probably soon after Zeta they realized the kiddy-toy selling power, since then thats all Gundam has been, one big commercial to sell toys.

Especially the new Gundam series, even more so in 00s2, the Masuoro and Susanoo had such a tiny and insignificant role in the series, it was just there to make poses and look cool and eventually sell toys.

Even the insides of the S2 mechs look like Gunpla.

SD Gundam burned my eyes. Even if I was a child when it came out, I'd still hate it with a passion.

I thought 00 was great. Loved the more mature aspect to it. Should keep at it.

I am a male, I can see it is targeted for men, however if they didn't want females they wouldn't have made all the guys look like girls.

Also the show is very cheap in protecting the Gundams from anything not in a Gundam.

No, I understand where he was going with the GN Drive thing. You need some sort of plausible explanation for why the robots can do all this crazy crap. Actually, Mizushima made a very good point when he said, "Yeah, Gundam is Real Robot but if you make it too realistic you realize that robots in a humanoid shape doesn't really make sense." And, it doesn't. :P

Anyway, I was a pretty big fan of this series and I'm a male, so I guess it worked. Then again, the last episode of Season 2 I saw was 9. Apparently in that amount of time its gone through the typical anime fan cycle (where it goes from "most awesome thing evar!" to "epic" fail) so I don't know what happened in the interrim.

I don't like the idea of the next series being aimed at kids though...that's worrying, just a bit.
Like anime but also have an equal passion for comic books? Join my new group! Please?



8% of teens think they've moved on to real music but in actuality are still listening to shitty music. If you wish you cared, copy and paste this into your sig.

No, it means less teen angst. I can, quote honestly, say that anime made for children are a lot better than anime for teens, nowadays.

A Clean, unlimited energy source with anti-gravitational and psychic abilities is far more "adult" concept than "Its LOLNUCLEAR thus its powaful and unlimited" of LOLSEED, not to mention that it answers the "why that huge humanoid bulk of metal can own so much" question better. :)

Gundam was never a real robot show. They shouldn't try to make it one, either. But yeah, I guess the GN Drive thing is a better excuse than Zeta Gundam's LOL SOULS OF DEAD PEOPLE AS ENERGY.
