| the first female main character of Gundam franchise and is it a Psycho Frame control system like Gundam Unicorn and Gundam Banshee was, hopefully there is nanomachines technology too |
| The new mobile suit looks 70% Barbatos and 30% Victory and I'm not a big fan of the design although I'll have to see it in action first. The MC design is cool. I'm certain it reminds of something I've seen before but I can't pinpoint exactly what it is. |

| Finally, some good mecha food instead of eighty-shit and kyoukai senki |

| Looking forward to this one. I really like the main lead’s design. |
| The mecha designs look like a mix of ibo and g-reco and I really like the look of it |
 _______I like rocks__  |

Her design is suspiciously reminiscent of the MC from the latest all-female Gundam game. |

RobertBobert said: Now I'm wondering if the new game will somehow be a prequel to this one? Will the show itself also have a bunch of female characters? I don't think so. Code Fairy (The new game) is set in the UC timeline but this one is said to be set in an Alternate Universe. And the girls from Code Fairy are from Zeon so I don't think they'll be using Gundams lol |

Especially since Okada-san decided to add polyamory and gay marriage to Gundam. |
|
| Looking forward to this one since I've been waiting for a new Gundam series that doesn't take place in the UC timeline and the mech designs look cool. Having a female lead is not a bad idea for the Gundam franchise. I just hope they give her a good story and character development that would make her likeable. |
 |
| oh the state of gundam, main character is a loli. I will add this in my "never to watch" list |
    |
| Well I've been asking for a main Gundam series with a female lead and it's finally happening. I'm so excited for this, I hope Sunrise will write her character well. The design of the main lead looks good and kinda cool. |
 |
| I've not watched Gundam for a long time so I'm really excited for this and it's a nice fresh change to have female protagonist |
| I have high hopes for this since this is the first female lead ever in a Gundam series (My favorite franchise next to the Fate Series) |
| I'm not holding my breath. |
 |
Honestly the line art of the new Gundam doesn't make it look that good but when you see it in model kit form, it actually look much better. Catalano said: And nothing of value was lost today.oh the state of gundam, main character is a loli. I will add this in my "never to watch" list |

| Will probably get more popupar than ibo in japan due to a female lead, but will probably be ignored in the west. People underestimate how toxic the gundam fanbase can get. Anitubers like gigguk also dont help since they are extremely toxic to anything that isnt like the top 1% of anime. |

And yes, the MC in canon relationships with both of his love interests. I do not know the general opinion of the Japanese about this, but the comments on that news were not positive. |

Oh believe me, just look at /m/. One of the greatest 4chan boards brought down by Gundam shitposting. Though the G-Witch reception has been pretty decent, unusually enough. Most of the comments are pilot waifu jokes. I doubt a female lead's gonna be more popular in Japan, quite opposite even. As for Gigguk, he didn't help the mecha fandom with his "mecha is dead except this and that popular show" shtick that's been going on for quite some time. I agree he and the rest of the Trash Taste clique are really toxic and cause a nasty anti-mecha hivemind to form. t. /m/ user Gigguk is dogsh!t as an anituber. Since his number one anime is evangelion, you know his sense of elitism is extreme since no one understands evangelion. He along with rest of MAL are obsessed with battle shonens and hates on mecha, ecchi, harem, rom coms. He also jumps on hate bandwagons all the time. No evidence SEED + Destiny was the worst since they outsold all other AU's combined and are easy contender for best AU. Anyways my favourite series is probably 79, AU is seed, ova is 0083. movie is cca. |

Toxic shonen fans review bomb them. Fanservice also would trigger Twitter very easily where they will accuse people of p*dophila |

And then all these millions of articles where the next moe CGDCT show is announced as an ode to feminism due to the fact that there are no men and the girl is in the center of the plot. You underestimate the ability of Western media to brainwash themselves. |

| All signs seem to be pointing this toward being an AU Gundam so it's easily accessible for newcomers. I enjoyed 00 and IBO so I'll keep an eye out for this. They seem to be making a big deal about this being the first female protagonist for a main Gundam TV show, so I hope it leads to some interesting writing instead of derivates that come with things like this. |

They've already promoted the latest game with a special focus on the "all-female team" concept, so it looks like someone at Sunrise has decided that Gundam's gender equality theme is going to be a very trendy thing. It's unlikely to get to woke proportions, but no one expected that we'd get a female Trump and massive refugee metaphors from Watanabe's new anime either. |

| Saw a huge debate here on Gundam, Macross and 86. No idea how the debate has gone~ I am a Gundam fan and a Macross fan. Gundam, Macross and 86 are 3 completely different fiction. Here are the differences: Gundam is a war story. A lot of people misunderstood the definition of Gundam because of the mainstream Wing, SEED and 00. These 3 Gundam anime has one thing in common. Overpowered Gundams destroying everything, which causes many people to think that Gundam is about mecha blowing shits up rainbow style. In reality, it is far from the truth. Gundam is a war story that has the message "War is hell", anyone who watched the whole universal century, including myself. Even some alternate universes such as Mobile Fighter: G Gundam also asks this question ''Is a tournament the best method to replace wars and decide world superpowers?'. I highly recommend people to watch UC Gundam. There are also some alternate universe that are really good, such as After War Gundam X, which is about post-war. After War Gundam X is the most underrated Gundam, it just came out at the wrong timing and hence its low ratings and got cut at episode 39. :( Macross is more focused on humanity living together with aliens (Zentradi) and romance. Macross has great romance and it also has awesome mecha design. I like the designs of Valkyries! :) The original Macross is really good which its characters, the characters are really likeable. Well, I dislike Macross Delta~ For 86, in terms of plot and characters, it is definitely inferior to both Gundam and Macross but still decent, like a 6.5/10 to 7/10. It is more focuses on Lena and Shin. I heard someone mentioned Gigguk. I don't really care about anime YouTubers because taste differs. It is normal to enjoy an unpopular fiction and not enjoy a popular anime. I enjoyed Code Geass: Akito The Exile and I do not enjoy Code Geass: Lelouch Of The Rebellion. |

| It was today that I learned that the mecha fandom is toxic as hell....I mean I already knew this based off of how the Muv-Luv community has been treating Attack on Titan fans but Jesus Christ man some of you in this thread sound so pretentious, salty and entitled LMAO, it's really not that deep I will say one thing though, apart from Eva and now 86, the mecha genre has factually been virtually non-existent in terms of discussion from the broader/general animanga community, the last time I even remember seeing mecha shows being talked about on a wide scale outside of the mecha community was when DITF was airing (And this was mostly because of Zero-Two and the hilariously bad second half lol), but that in itself was like over 3 years ago now |

It's like who the fuck made you the official judges of what's watchable and what's not. |

HornyBee said: Could be good. When will we get a good mature mecha shows with fucking child protagonists?? I need the Thunderbolt, 08th MS Team, Stardust Memory kinda stuff. Am I the only one down for this shit??!! You consider watching Break Blade! :) It is a war story. The protagonist is an adult male~ You can also consider Macross. The protagonist is in his later teen years. The characters are really good there~ There are also others like Promare~ The protagonist is an adult but he is quite immature~ EDIT: Does Active Raid counts? |
Cabron said: Eh, it's mostly the so called mecha fans from the West who only seen at most 10 mecha (and that's being generous) making unnecessary comparisons and acting like they know shit. To be fair one doesn't need to know the whole lexicon of mechas to literally just compare 2 IPs they do watch, especially when the differences between the 2 are so obvious. Like one is always focused around all sides of the conflict and an anti-war message while the other is a smaller scale personal character drama. I don't see how one needs to be a mecha expert to point out that simple as fuck key difference to the salt mines labeling the one they dislike as an inferior ripoff. |

Tom_Block said: Takao_Bl00driver said: Eighty six haters are brainless And 86 fanboys have the habit of calling other people who criticizing their show an idiot, brainless, have short amount of attention span, and etc. Like someone mentioned on this thread earlier, it's not that deep. I'd say that both the people who hate it for no reason and the fanboy who defends it by insulting other people are equally childish and idiotic I admit I was childish in my early replies, but to my defense the guy I was replying to started shittalking randomly, and not for the first time, with the same nonsense claims. So yeah, my bad, but you can't be surprised that shit like that's gonna bait the fans. Also that people will come to this thread who are both Gundam and 86 fans. Also if you read his replies that was anything but legit criticism. And while 86 doesn't have the political depth of Gundam it does have a very real and rare depth in the humanities, a lot of people just ignore that cause it's not what they care about. |

| Looks good, but if Noboru Kimura's writing this then it's already DOA. |
 Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive |
| Big western fandoms in general are toxic as hell since it is largely dictated by big shonens. But for mecha, 86 has sort of created a new mecha anime fandom whose ego may one day rival that of eva and gundam. Without a doubt 86 has gotten a lot of attention, and comparisons will be made to eva and gundam. Eva is elistist as hell. In gundam fandom, seed & destiny also caused divides since its extreme popularity lead to hate trains from new 00 or ibo fans or old uc and wing fans. Only chill mecha fandom i have seen is date a live and that is largely due to how it tends to deviate itself so heavily from traditional mechas. |
| Another reason why Gundam is barely a thing in the west is Bandai is one of the most incompetent companies imaginable when it comes to gaming. They will release games and TCGs only to slit the the throat and move on to the next. This is the same company that killed the Naruto TCG when Naruto was at its peak popularity |
