Ok, I probably caught on a rumor, but supposedly the MC in Turn A was originally supposed to be female, but it got shut down by the higher ups. It's not verified though I'm still foolish enough to believe it. |

Looks interesting enough.
I really disliked AGE, so I hope this will be better. Grew up with Medabots and Beyblade, so the idea of tiny Gundams fighting sounds really fun to me. The girl, Kousaka China, is cute too. Last edited by jet_ on Tue Jul 02, 2013 11:18 am; edited 1 time in total |

Oh I get it, I just think it's sad and dumb. But hey continue defending Age, by not actually defending it. People do really dislike that show because of it's character designs even though no one brings that up anymore. |

Gundam 00 kicked that issue in the teeth. Just saying. ______________________________ So this is the most blatantly commercial thing ever, it's basically Gunpla Builders amped up substantially. This is not for fans, this is Gundam for the lads that get hyped on Yu-Gi-Oh and such, which is about as far from what Gundam is about as you go. That said this basically amounts to a spinoff, and before fans rend their garments over what is ostensibly happening to the franchise we should keep in mind the Gundam Unicorn project and the still-upcoming adaptation of Gundam the Origin. It is not as though "real" Gundam has been abandoned by any stretch of the imagination. |

♪ Gundam Patrick ♪
♪ Shooting about ♪ ♪ Gundam Patrick ♪ ♪ Chasing boy scouts ♪ STAY ON TOPIC PEOPLE! Toy commercials in the form of children's shows? Nothing new here. The customization reminds me of the Gunpla Breaker game. If only you could customize your actual models. Then again, you'd need the skill that these kids have so they won't look ugly. I despised Gunpla Builders but I couldn't stop watching due to the cheese. I mozz watch this, heck I'll provolone I can sit through it! Swiss me luck! |

Tell that to the Gunota crowd that's going to be pumped to see which of their favorite kits are going to be getting a makeover. I don't think it's possible to deny the appeal of seeing some of those suits in hand drawn animated form again on TV. In particular the sight of Harry Ord's Gold Custom Sumo weaving it's way through the streets in the PV is a sight for sore eyes and it evens looks like they might be using some classic Gundam locations for the battle stages. I don't see how this can't be mecha porn fan-service for old fans as well. It's IMO on first glance a smarter way to go about trying to appeal to kids in Japan and adults as well than AGE's attempt to vaguely retell the original story online with a more kid friendly spin on it. Instead it just forgoes the whole war thing entirely which was a key point that was made on a survey as to why the target demographic wasn't keen on age and targets something they do understand in arcade games. The kids get something more familiar and the older fans get something more familiar in the re-imagined classic designs. |

Hmm. I don't think anything you've said actually contradicts what I was saying. The show has its appeal, certainly. It's also true the robots are all this has in common with the mainline Gundam anime of years past. That makes it entirely unambitious whether it does what it does well or not.

"My children's toy commercial is so much better than your children's toy commercial!" Really? You're going to act like Gundam was never all about marketing and selling toys and this is not a "real" Gundam series? |

How pathetically geeky and flippant. Associating not liking girly things and manservice with 'insecurity'. What a bloody twit you are throwing that card. People like you only see things in black and white, if anything. God knows you can't make the blind see and I'm not gonna waste my time with you any further trying to make you, because at the end of the day, it's only a cartoon and I don't have to like it or dislike it. Sadly, geeks like you think they have an equation figured out on how people think, all you've done make assumptions, you're as clueless as they come.

Most anime that are made are made to sell and make money. You don't win points for pointing this obvious truism out. That doesn't make the merit of every cartoon equal, sorry. |

Why is everyone so hyped to see Origin? Sure UC0079 was awesome but this new series is an anime adaptation of a manga adaptation of UC0079 with very minor differences. I won't lie, I will watch it, but I'm not as excited. I'd rather another AU or an extension of existing universes. Gundam X surely could use a prequel, sequel or side story. |

Getting bent out of shape over "girly" things is generally a pretty good sign of insecurity. |

I love it when a quality AU series comes along too. This is good too though. Origin retells a familiar story but with evolved storytelling, and I like what I've seen of the manga so far. I'm unsure whether the animated take will prove to be as interesting an update as Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is shaping up to be, but Origin is a quality work and like Yamato the original Gundam is good enough to update for the viewers of today. |
