quote:

A.S. (Ad Stella) 122―

An era when a multitude of corporations have entered space and built a huge economic system.
A lone girl from the remote planet Mercury transfers to the Asticassia School of Technology,
run by the Beneritt Group which dominates the mobile suit industry.

Her name is Suletta Mercury.
With a scarlet light burning in her pure heart,
this girl walks step by step through a new world.

A fun fact a different mecha artist does the Mobile Suit designs for each faction in this show, rather then the normal same designer for all suits in the show. Edit: that was wrong.

There it was more of a unified design language, thanks to the massive reactors. Every suit was armor over a standard frame, with less armor at the waist to improve mobility. Here, it seems to be explicitly to emphasize the, well, feminine design language of the main Gundam, with other designs not sharing the trait. (Barbatos, by contrast, was designed as a hot-headed young samurai).

Technically, this is my fourth time on the ground floor, but two of those were Build, so they hardly count. For Iron Blooded Orphans, my Gundam experience was Turn A, War in the Pocket, a little G, and the Origin manga, so my expectations were... rather high. Made the show living up to them pretty exciting.

Now, though, I've gotten hardened and cynical thanks to SEED, AGE, 00, G-Reco, Hunter of Black Clothes, IGLOO... look. There's a lot of Gundam that's rough going in one way or another. Good, bad, or indifferent, this'll be part of that legacy.

I'm hoping for good, but hey. I finished Kyoukai Senki. Even if it's terrible, I'm here for the ride.

That's not actually the standard for Gundam. Just for IBO, you had three different mech designers. Naohiro Washio handled Barbatos, Bael, and Guision for the "protagonist" Gundams, while Kanetake Ebikawa worked on the Graze line (and Flauros), leaving Ippei Gyoubu to take up design duties for the rest, including Gaelio's Gundams.

I hope it's on Gundaminfo but I'll finally shell out for Crunchyroll just to watch it otherwise. A friend of mine is down and she usually isn't into Gundam because "there's too many dicks on the dancefloor" for her but this looks up her alley. It'll be the first time I have a currently airing anime buddy in a long time.

Didn't 00 have different designers for each of the factions too? Kanetaki Ebikawa designed Setsuna's units (i.e. the lead units), Takayuki Yanase designed the rest of the Celestial Being's units (i.e. all of HAllelujah, Lockon & Tieria's units), Naohiro Washio designed the Team Trinity units, Hitoshi Fukuchi designed the AEU and Union units (since both had a lot of similarities due to stealing tech/designs from each other) and Kenji Teraoka desiged the HRL units. I think Gundam AGE had a similar thing too so far as I can see on a quick look at the Wikia, with Ebikawa doing the Federation units (including the Gundams) and Junya Ishigaki doing the Vagan suits. I'm not sure if SEED/Destiny had a similar break down along faction lines. I know Mead only did a couple of units in Turn A, though I can't remember who did the rest off-hand either. I imagine the same must be true stretching back a ways though, and I'm pretty sure Katoki did the Oz units for Wing TV, while Okawara did the Gundams.

The first part will have them be part of the school with part of their curriculum being sent to fight other forces, with some degree of clashing between the three important houses, then everything will go to hell after one of the leaders of the houses proves themselves to actually have big schemes for the world and betrays the school, leading to a timeskip where all-out war has broken out.

Oh found translations for the various character quotes in the second trailer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBjzNiGSC3A

Suletta: “So this is it, the School. Mom, I’m finally here.” “Mom once said Run away and your hands are tied, move forward and there is always another option in your grasp.” “Me and Aerial won’t lose!”

Miorine: “Don’t you go deciding the lives of others!”

Guel: “No matter who or what company, I’m gonna have it all!"

Elan: “GUND-ARM…Gundam…”

Shaddiq: “If it’s a mobile suit of the witch, then we can’t really leave it alone.”

Nika: “Mercury has these kind of mobile suits...”

Chuchu: “Aren’t Spacians the ones who push around the Earthians here?”
