IBO already has 50 episodes, that's more than enough in this "25-episode is considered lucky" era.

Also HOW CAN THIS SHIT GET NEW ANIME BUT NOT KONOSUBA?!!!

Because those have no relation between each other and therefore, different companies on their committee and different expectations as well.

@Rei366 thanks for the extraordinary link, Tomino must either have the thickest skin imaginable or be delusional to be able to talk about G Reco and any other piece of filmography in the same day.

In case people like @Choostopher thought it was all a joke, Tomino discussed the new G-Reco movies among other things.

Just skip the forums reactions who don't even rely on his words .

What a waste of time and resources.

Seriously, Sunrise should just make a new season of Build Fighters or another new Gundam series which is decent. G-reco is my worst Gundam series I've ever watched. Tomino said it himself that it's really bad. He should just stop with the sequel and made a new better one.

If in "worst case" scenario that it will come to reality, then I will not watch it coz I've had enough of it.

Pretty sure this is just the compilation movie(s) Tomino has mentioned several times since the show dropped.


Still a total waste of resources but at least it's just another piece of train wreck trash to ignore rather than disbelief they would roll out something new for this series rather than any other Gundam project that could be thought of.

@Rei366 By "dropped" I just mean "ended". Poor word choice on my part, my bad.

I saw this pop up the other day but still haven't seen the April fools confirmation.

Tell me this is just a sick joke?

I have liked a lot of Tominos Gundam series (probably more than most people) but found Reconshitsa to be unwatchable on all fronts.

minovsky particles were in Turn-A if im not mistaken, again alot of turn-A's technology was directly from the UC timeline with only a few pieces from X's timeline here and there. I mean im not sure what exactly we are debating for here cause its a confirmed sequel to turn-A even if the show does a dogshit and contradictory way showing it.


Well, the problem with G-Reco is that it is said to take place 1000 years after UC (which is written on Gundam wiki) but before Turn A, while Tomino said that G-Reco is 500 years after Turn A. Funnily enough, this wiki page claims that G-Reco takes place 1014 years after Turn A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundam_Reconguista_in_G#cite_ref-TVB82_3-0 (I know that it's a wiki page and taking everything seriously from Wikipedia is not always a good thing to do, although there are citations for that claim, in Japanese).

It's like no one really knows the timeline anymore.

So, in order to end this conversation, we can agree that G-Reco is a part of UC timeline and it takes place after it but its exact placement (before or after Turn A) is not known, even to Tomino ;D
I simply cant agree that G-reco is part of the UC timeline, all the ties to it seem as related as the correct century were. I just think G-reco is a mess of a series with no proper planning put into it likley caused by the fact that it was in development hell since 2006 and wasnt even meant to be a gundam.

He may be senile now, but i take the word of tomino alot more as fact than what a editable wiki writes about it

The Under Nut thing was said to be an artificial satellite built to clear space debris from the UC era (the Nut was created even before the Capital Tower). Also, they were talking about Minovsky Particles. This is from the first episode. But I don't remember in which episode it was specified that the Capital Tower was built in UC.

I dont remember the space elevator being from the UC, was that ever mentioned in victory or F91? they always launched into space through catapults like normal in both those entries (and not that it needs mentioning cause lol but G-savior also didnt have a space elevator as if that means anything). I also remmember them never saying universal century for the taboo they just said the dark history which refers to every gundam timeline that leads into the correct century.

If I remember correctly they mentioned that all the debris pollutiong the Earth's orbit are from Universal Century. The Taboo was created to not repeat the tragedy of UC. The Space Elevator is from UC. Also, we had Jaburo.

not really, they mentioned dark history a couple of times and you see some older mechs in a muesam at the start (all of which were in turn-A). G-reco is a standalone sequel to turn-A through and through, absolutely not an entry in the UC

If its a sequel or something similar I just hope, this time the goofy stuff lessens and we get a actual consistent story. Otherwise I am excited to see more of this art style and animation.
