Quatre and all 26 of his siblings form their own house because having them all in one existing house would create a power imbalance.

Imagine them arguing which is the greater mobile suit: Epyon, which lets the pilot see the future, or Aerial, which is literally a child.

Has Not Actually Done Cocaine
At least for it's first go in SRW I think it would be better if no early UC series were included alongside Witch From Mercury and indeed probably should only have one or two other Gundam series besides it on the roster, keep things tight and focused

My choices for what those would be would probably be G Gundam and either F-91 or Crossbone, the former because it also follows a "Colonies dominant over Earth" status quo, while for either of the latter two the Federation is for the most part out of the way enough that it won't get in the way like it would for something like most of the Early UC shows would(and yes I know in a real SRW they wouldn't probably give a poo poo and just mash together whatever they want but it's more interesting as a fan to try and actually put effort in to one's hypothetical musings)

Technically Aerial is the opposite of being powered by a forsaken child, Eri is very much not forsaken and her mother loves her very much

Also technically, Rita was 23 when she climbed into the Phenex for the first time and then never came out, so she's a forsaken adult instead of a forsaken child. :v:

i don't like this because i don't think treize has ever been surprised by anything in his entire life, least of all someone praising him/agreeing with him

also the eri=aerial reveal was like 2 episodes ago i don't think we still need to spoil it

The irony is that Suletta seems relatively normal, but she's basically a puppet. Meanwhile, Rei is weird and unsure how her own emotions even work, but she's got a much stronger sense of self and her own will. She'll die for Gendo because she thinks that the math works out best. Gendo is a person worthy of her love, so dying for his sake would be a good way to go. When Gendo makes her revise her estimates, she stops valuing him so much, and gives control of things to Shinji instead.

Suletta, as seen this episode, just assumes her mother knows best, even if it meant murdering everyone she cared about.

I would put actual money on them having a lot of moving parts for it ready to go and they're just running the clock out until Tomino dies so he doesn't say a bunch of outta pocket stuff about it in interviews.

Except there's a problem with making a full series remake, and it's the same thing that makes Gundam financially successful in the first place.

Model kits.

The designs from the original (and the Origin versions) are still top sellers to this day. Bandai makes a Perfect Grade of grandpa for hundreds of dollars, it doesn't stay on the shelf.

In other words, they wouldn't be able to sell more Gunpla by making an Origin full anime, but they'd have to spend more than for a standard anime because people would have higher expectations for a remake of a cultural institution.

Meanwhile, a new show means new designs getting a big boost right out of the gate, and if any of them really catch on (like Barbatos or Aerial) then you can sell those as evergreens right alongside whatever even newer designs you release and the original series models.

Goat.

Also Mobile Suit Goat drat: Cucuruz Goatman's island.

I dont know I just find it amusing that two out of three most recent Gundam works have featured goats.

Ah, but they can still sell both versions. Just consider the TV series and Endless Waltz versions of the Wing designs.

Gundam has just realized that the next step in mecha anime is goats. Soon, soon we'll have the Goat Gundam. It is a matter of time.

And then we'll have the inevitable crossover where Goat and Fuunsaiki get to be friends as animals that pilot Gundams.

Wait you think a horrible cash grab of a series capitalizing off of previous Gundam fame will tank the brand?
