Are you including SD Gundam shows and Twilight Axis?

I'm kind of conflicted on Twilight Axis. It's bad, but the unique ways it's bad, combined with its limited runtime, makes me unsure if it's one of the all time worst.

If we're counting SD, though, then yeah. There is some real garbage there. I'd place World Heroes below Divers, and that is not something I say lightly. (And that one, I slogged all the way through on sheer stubborn.)

Including SD stuff feels like cheating so I don't include them despite them deserving it - Twilight Axis absolutely goes into the dungeon though, what a baffling misfire

Gundam: it's real good except those times when it wasn't

this ep 31-32 mark hit enough stupid soap notes for me to enjoy rolling around in, though you do have to mourn the idea of a series where Kira actually died. GGP will be carried by support shows for that whole year and i wish them luck. doubling up on kid shows already gives me pause but i'll at least take it as an excuse to finally watch Tamers.

The best apologies are crafted with love.
Destiny was genuinely one of the most disappointing things I've watched and I'm including all of Game of Thrones and Dexter in this equation. I like Seed more than some others here since the dumb melodrama and teenage soap operaness of it really appeals to me and I thought there were some interesting ideas and characters buried in the worst parts of Seed and then Destiny just sort of shits on it. Season 2 for 00 doesn't even come close to Destiny on any level of disappointment for me, even if it's not as good as season 1.

The only thing I know about Build Divers is that one episode where they give the Devil Gundam the sort of fight that G Gundam's action was never able to provide (not that G's action was bad, but a kung-fu show can't quite showcase a fight against something like that). That part was neat.

Getting the feeling I shouldn't check out the rest or confirm my feelings.

given its length, the proportion of worthwhile stuff is too low to really recommend watching imo. but yeah it does have some amazing fights, a decent comedy ep or two, and i quite liked the back half of the Break Decal arc.

that and it basically backs up his position by having that real plamo fight be one of the action high points of the series.

I do hope if they ever revisit the Build Divers setting he apologizes to Hiroto for being, y'know, directly responsible for Eve's death.

Gundam SEED is much more popular than either 0083 or Unicorn according to polls, forcing me to acknowledge it as being, by these metrics, the worst Gundam.

I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
So I'm pretty sure this is the first female protagonist of a 'leading' Gundam show (so not a spinoff of an existing universe), but how many female protagonists has the series had overall? It's gotta be low by my reckoning.

For anime?

Selene from Stargazer and Arlette from Twilight Axis. That's it.

Basically, it's names, that there's going to be a preview short in a few months, and that they're making kits for the main Gundam and the designs that'll star in the preview.

The Reborns is fun, I love that it exists because Ribbons looked at the designs of the CB-001 1 Gundam and the CBY-077 GN Cannon, said "Relying on others, EWW." Then mashed them together.

On the other hand, I hate that the Reborns Gundam is a bastardization of two cool individual units that smashes them together into a horrible mess. The 1 and 1.5 Gundam look great, as does the GN Cannon; but bolting both to each other's backs just makes the two of them look bad. I just imagine how cool it'd have been for Ribbons to be using a 1.5 Gundam with multiple bit GN Cannons or something, the way Tieria was remotely controlling the Raphael Gundam and Seravee Gundam II (or Seravee Gundam and 2 SEM units that was apparently considered at one point going by a manga or something) and smile wistfully when I see them or the Reborns Gundam. Which would be even cooler if Ribbons was controlling Bit GN Cannons with bits of their own or something.

It's interesting that the 3 units first shown all have rather different looking thruster setups. I think this might be the first main unit since Turn A to use that kind of vertical thrusters filled with vanes, rather than round or squared off units with a single hole that thrust comes out of too. I wonder if the Beguir-Beu will be a grunt unit too; it's pretty different for the "Zaku II" of a setting/show if it is.

Since the Beguir-Beu is specifically from the Prologue, I'd assume it's some sort of ace suit, maybe a variant of something we'll see in the show.
