Arcsquad12 posted:I watched the trailer for the fourth episode of Origin. Am I right in assuming from the footage that they will actually show Operation British? If it's finishing up Origin's pre-series material then yes, the manga covers Operation British and spends a few pages detailing its global impacts.

Tomino, 1998 posted:What I want modern day Gundam fans to understand is that Gundam wasn't nurtured by the PlaModel enthusiasts. It was young women who first came to the after recording studio, and Gundam is a work that began with their support. And it was a work that had no connection to the popularity of Gundam PlaModels. So I think the most important thing is creating a work that will attract those kind of girls to it again. I don't think movies as an entertainment industry can succeed without touching on that kind of fundamental portion.

“The very first fans of the original Gundam were young women. Definitely not the PlaModel enthusiasts." "With both Gundam and Raideen, of the first fans to be active, 90% were girls. Among a gathering of 1000 fans, about 100 were boys." e: “Around when the first cour ended, young women began to gather to the after recording studio." (1) “It took until much later for male fans make an uproar, around the time series got canceled. I thought: You’re late to the party!” (2) "To sum it up: 1. Young girls were among the earliest supporters [of Gundam] 2. He was surprised and excited to see them waiting outside the recording studio. 3. He appreciated that they were attracted to the story/characters over the merchandising/genre trappings. 4. He hates PlaModel fans (lol)."

Moon Dwellers was functional but clunky, SRW V and the last SD Gundam game are good. V has some inconsistent terms and mistranslated mechanical text but the dialogue is fun.

I don't think it did super well but Gundam was already in a rut due to supersaturation and stuff as evidenced by X.

For the moment it's only covering the flashback volumes, but it'd be entirely unsurprising for more OVAs to get announced soon after.

Gundam portraying individual soldiers as sympathetic is something that goes all the way back to 0079, where entire eps are dedicated to rando zeon soldiers being decent guys (and the opposite for rando feds).

At its best it's just a pretty good tourney show with enjoyable characters bouncing off each other and developing their rivalries and shared passions and all that plus well-animated fights that don't have to worry about the combatants getting totally wrecked. If you're not into that over the at least nominally more serious narrative driven war/politics entries it's not weird for it not to be your thing.

Is there any particular reason why (western at least) gundam fans seem to universally hate the newtype deal, and it being so prevalent despite that?
