Sunrise can make an excellent idol anime but their handling of the Gundam franchise is astronomically horrible, I don't want this, it's too kiddy, give me some real Gundam. I also have another concern, the games, unfortunately they've milked UC to the point that there is no material left to use that will produce a decent game, Missing Link pretty much sucked it completely dry, there's nothing left now. G no Reconguista if it were a TV anime could've breathed some life back into the games.


Your missing out on some good cameos from your beloved UC then namely the lovely Haman Karn. I don't even see it on your list so your judging it on the preview art? Or did you actually watch a couple episodes? Its probably the most entertaining Gundams when it comes to battles aside from 00 plus no one you love dies so thats a pro.

I'm not into idol anime so I don't know how good Sunrise does on that front, but I can say that compared to Buddy Complex Build Fighters is much better.

im so so so happy to hear this announcement. I still miss the first season a lot. I'd be super satisfied if the original group of characters returned but definitely do want to see new characters as well. This is the return of the gunpla mafia y'all, they are still strong. Also, do want more cameos please, those were the best.

I'm a fan of gundam but I don't feel this one and from what I can see the rating is great on MAL but I still don't trust it. Is it that good?


If you are a fan I think you'd like it. There's really a very low chance that you won't since it was made with everyone in mind. It's also one of the few shows with non CGI mecha and there's so many suits and cameos, not to mention some awesome fights. You should just try it out.

Since the showed units based on the Mk II, Wing etc. will they show units based on the Zeta and Wing Zero in the second season?

Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022

Its funny seeing people that clearly have never watched Build Fighters and have no idea what its actually about but still post like they do anyway with absolute confidence. Nothing new for this franchise with fans that love to bitch even when given tons of options.

Its really luck of the draw when it comes to what unit gets picked for a refresh renewel. On average, if the unit is from a popular series of models(e.g Wing Gundam, Strike series, Crossbone series, Exia, Astray are examples for S1) then its more likely to get a remake. If its any of the lesser popular ones, then its entirely luck of the draw. Though by guess, one could assume that any new protagonist/antagonist character from S2 will be using a new line of gundams that were never present during the first season(so if the gundam in question had a cameo in S1, they are more likely not to get a new refresh mode for s2l(e.g Turn X, Epyon, Master)


Since i Dont remember there being a Zeta Cameo(at least not off the top of my head) theres a chance


but after googling it, A spinoff BF manga has a Modded Zeta as the main gundam
If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

Well, there's a first for everything.

If it didn't boost gunpla sales I'm sure there would be no second season in the works.

Captain Earth is the better mech anime this season M3 is okay still a bit too early for me to judge.

Also most UC fans enjoy this since it provides tons of cameos with mobile suits, figurines, characters quoting from openings and famous UC characters, and past characters such as Haman Karn and Uso Ewin making appearances. Its a shame some UC fans on here refuse to watch it solely cause the character designs. This isn't like AGE its better okay cause it actually has a solid plot and is well paced. Plus the action and the OST are top notch for a Gundam series.

On the topic of mecha anime, for me the best one this season is Knights of Sidonia for reasons of tonal consistency, intrigue and having some form of clear direction. Daimidaler barely counts and is basically just fan service trash. Captain Earth is just disappointing but I expected that from the Star Driver staff that doesn't seem to know what its doing. M3.... I don't think I've ever seem a more unpopular mecha show in Japan. Satelight either needs to hurry up and get that new Macross anime out (I can dream of some other better mecha studio getting that license though) or just give up already cause man do they suck at this whole thing. Makes me just kind of miss this show, it was largely light hearted fair but damn if Sunrise didn't show they knew what they were doing when they made it and made the most of its premise. If it weren't for Polygon Pictures and Sidonia I'd say they are currently the only studio besides maybe I.G that has any clue what they are doing when making a sci-fi mecha show nowadays.

By the way the idea of a time skip Aila is a bridge that should be crossed when it comes to it. I don't know how they can pimo that design anymore. She looks about as 14 years old as Feldt Grace back in 00 season 1 and yes that is supposed to be her official age while China was 12.

Hmmm. Well, to be honest, I am having mixed feelings about this. This iteration of Gundam is definitely not the usual, but I watched it anyway because I love Gundam so much.... It was alright, but not the greatest. HOWEVER, I do have some questions about that particular Gundam world, and the secrets it holds. So I will reserve further judgement until later. :P

More like, this makes it much more likely that G no Reconguista is in fact NOT a television series.

I think what partly allowed this series to be so popular was that it was basically an awesome eye candy show designed for kids and Gundam fans, and they simulcast this thing on freaking Youtube in 720p for free with English subtitles, plus several other Asian languages. In fact they are still releasing the episodes with different languages even now, keep showing up in my Subscription feed. If that doesn't scream "This has been making us tons of dough" I don't know what does.
