Story Synopsis
(Rough Translation by Bandai, Synopsis)
The setting is a world roughly 300 years after the end of a great conflict known as THE CALAMITY WAR.
Mikazuki Angus is an orphan with no family, who wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice himself to protect his comrades. And Orga Itsuka is someone who cares for his comrades, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is respected by one and all. They have been tegother since childhood, and the bond between them is stronger than that of brothers. These two protagonists are the axis around which the story develops.
The Gundam Barbatos starts out as an incomplete mobile suit, but as it goes through the fires of war along with Mikazuki and the others, it becomes stronger by adding on armor and weapons from defeated enemy mobile suits.
However, the CGS comes under attack from the armed organization Gjallarhorn trying to nip the bud of insurrection, so Mikazuki and the children start withdrawing as a decoy. The leader of the boys, Orga Itsuka, takes advantage of this occasion to rise in revolt against the adults who oppressed them and stages a coup d'etat.
Mikazuki, who was entrusted to fend off the Gjallarhorn by Orga, takes up the fight by using the Gundam Barbatos, a mobile suit from the "Calamity War" that was utilized as a nuclear reactor by the CGS.

DEAL WITH IT !
ReplyDelete"will evolve and get stronger as they defeat more enemies and upgrade the parts bit by bit"
Delete"The Gundam shares the same base frame as all other Mobile Suits, and so can cannibalize parts, weapons, and armor as the story progresses."
Hmm, I smell more P-Bandai stuff haha.
Bruuuuuh the glossy eyes of excitement! I got that shit.
ReplyDeleteA darker and edgier Gundam series? With total deconstruction to the franchise not unlike Evangelion's deconstruction of the mecha anime genre?
ReplyDeletewowowowo expectation over 9000! Calm down.
DeleteI want it too and even Tomino, but meh it's still a gundam show.
Dunno, that's what i'm thinking when I saw the teaser.
DeleteI think we need to keep our expectations in check. Gundam tv series have traditionally targeted kids/teenagers. So unless this is an OVA, I would be careful throwing around words like "darker" and "edgier" as if it meant something.
DeleteAnd besides, those things hardly define a show's quality anyway.

VGX-171/0 Prototype MS
DeleteIf it is another Gundam series then I hope it is better than that G-Reco mess.
ReplyDeleteAs apposed to the half assed rehash that is build fighters try, right?
DeleteGimme a break.
It wasnt bad
DeleteIt gave sunrise a revenue to animate a few mechas that mostly appeared in mangas
G-reco was a beautiful mess. Gbft? Crappy rehash that always uses Plebsky particles as a deus ex machina.
Deletethe only reason i watched g reco was to accept tomino's challahe saying its not for the old fans and its art and mecha style every thing else was shit in it buildfighters had at least a ending that made sense to people and yes i realize its a glorified toy comercail but so was a few other franchises in conclusion and my imo build fighters is better no contest
DeleteBuild Fighters Try was made to sell toys, and they weren't hiding it. They weren't shy about Plavsky magic as well given that in the first few EPs, they already stated that Build Burning was made by the Sei Iori.
DeleteIn universe, they saw something effective in the world tournament and everyone started doing the same thing.
Both of them suck and crappy. G-reco? Theres no likeable character, stupid plot, stupid reason to start war, Hell i didnt even know who is the bad guy. One scene act like they are best bud, one scene they fight each other.
DeleteBuild fighter? Please its shounen ish, with powerr of friendship of crap. Bond etc etc.
Theres no character development, its bandai new ways to use same molding all over again. And will i buy it? No...
Im fan of tomino works, but that doesnt mean i have to defend his works, if its bad i will say its bad. Thats what critic for, to make encourage people to do better.
10/10 english skills there bud.
Deletei liked this to be more gundam than build fight,so people have choice,what i mean one person with 20 gundam not backpack the actual one
ReplyDeleteAnother BF? XD
ReplyDeleteDamnnn another Tomino?
ReplyDeleteGundam is dying..
You do know they try to release Gundam anime every once and a while because of the fans asking for it, right?
DeleteWhy does it remind me of a valvrave???
ReplyDeleteReally cool silhouette, really promising. I hope that this series will be the darkest Gundam ever in history.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Jupiter MS Crossbone perhaps? Maybe I'm too wishful, that or GBFT season 2
ReplyDeletehmm...Looks like G-Reco season 2 to me.
ReplyDeleteJust like that Gundam 00 series has been split into 2 seasons.
I get a edgier tallgeese out of that (hope I'm wrong)
ReplyDeleteThat looks nothing like a gundam. Probably a unrelated mecha series.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, but i think that silhouette doesn't look like a Gundam or maybe it doesn't look like a usual Gundam for me
ReplyDeleteJupiter MS......???
ReplyDeletePlease G-Reco was not bad but got overshadowed by Build Fighters Try and now that both series are complete we are seeing more G-Reco kits coming out, while a new Gundam series is fine we can't expect a superb hit straight off the bat, just watch n wait
ReplyDeletedude G-Reco and GBF have different kind of genre
DeleteG-Reco is a failure, even tomino admitted it
No he didn't idiot, he said he messed up the ending a little. He never said he failed and not to mention he criticized his past work as well. Going by what he said Zeta would be a failure as well and you should know G-reco is more of a success than BF Try in Japan.
DeleteYes, both of them have different genres. Gundam Build Fighters Try was to promote Gunplas, not about war.
DeleteGive me one good thing about g-reco's storyline
DeleteIt is a Gundam series. The website was announced on GundamInfo.
ReplyDeleteTekketsu means Iron and Blood. It will be darker for sure.
looks like a full sized sd knight gundam with the large solders
ReplyDeletethat gundam would fit best with build fighters
I hope we get some nice ms designs and kits! (it is why the shows exist after all)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Getter to me
ReplyDeleteQUICK SOMEONE BRIGHTEN THE IMAGE, CHANGCE THE SATURATION, CROP IT THEN CHANGE THE SATURATION
ReplyDeletePlease, its that a gundam? More like knight armor to me. Bulky arms, slim waist. No v fin.
ReplyDeleteJust Dont make emo protagonist, with no kill policy. Super upbeat protagonist, who smile a lot.
Or emotionless pilot, who only know to kill
Just make a normal protagonist.
You can see V-fin men.
DeleteWhat is normal protag, someone you always see on lovecom, slice of life or harem story?
Delete@1:22 AM He was talking about the silhouette. The image with details isn't even official as of the time I wrote this.
Delete@seabook arno normal character I mean is like just seabook, kou uraki or shiro amada. Romcom protagonist = super dense and super 'kind' and using too much retort.
DeleteJuly 8th/9th update, That's a damn big v-fin, no wonder the silhouette didn't seem to have one, those look like they're part of the torso
Deleteby "normal" you mean boring, right? if this is a new tv series they must have a protag with a certain specific character which will show how his character development going on, either good (like almost every protag) or bad (like shinn).
DeleteIt looks a bit like the knight gundam in terms of the silhouette but I could be wrong
ReplyDeleteNo more V-fin???
ReplyDeletezaku?
Deletezaku
Deletezaku!
DeleteIm willing to bet its actually dark gundam for the new G-Gundam remake.
ReplyDeletehopefully it will be a new vision of gundam that will not be a bautiful mess like g-recco or a horrible mess like AGE and have awesome battles , not like BF, I UTTERLY loved BF and it's battles but they were over the top(wich I loved) and hopefully we will get an S3 but now it's time to go back to a more mature gundam.
ReplyDeleteCould it ne Kunio Okawara's Fullmetal Ghost?
ReplyDeletemaybe it's an armor than can be casted-off?
ReplyDeleteLooks like Guyver the dark hero.hahaha
ReplyDeleteWait.............G gundam fighters or G no reconguista?
ReplyDeleteI do see knight gundam desemblance but overall The arms remind me more of a grunt unit than the typical protagonist type unit. But maybe they are going for a different direction this time. It It a BF3 I have no problem but I'd still love to see Hathaways Flash someday ;__;
ReplyDeleteWell if Hathaway's flash is going to get animated they need to make the beltorchika's children version of the ccacca movie since Hathaways flash only happened because of a certain event that only happened in the bc novel not in cca
DeleteOr they can rewrite Hathaway's motivation slightly, to account for plot differences. More likely, considering their pragmatic adaptation of The Origin thus far. Sunrise isn't likely to redo something like CCA
DeleteLooks like a Guyver The Dark Hero. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the silhouette....I want to see this thing.
ReplyDeleteG Gundam revive
ReplyDeletethe artwork is fake. Source:http://imgbako.com/300038650.htm
ReplyDelete新作ガンダムのシルエットを元に描いて勢い余ってタイトルとかも付けてみたら
何とも痛々しい物が出来たんで貼る - "I've drawn the new Gundam based on the silhouette and even added a title etc. it turned out to be painful looking so I will upload it here"
hey read the description carefully! "[Updated 7/4/15] *NEW*
DeleteAlthough this image is a fan-art, but we will leave it here as a reference as to what the silhouette might portray... It would be interesting to compare this with the official image which would be release on July 15th."
Looks pretty cool. Bulkier than more recent gundams.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteStop casting judgement on something we have no info on,
ReplyDeletedoes anyone think it can be a precursor to Reconguista or even the period in between Reco and Turn A?
ReplyDeleteGaia Gear anyone?
ReplyDeleteThe detailed image has already been debunked as fan art from 2ch.
ReplyDeleteeh, not sure the mecha will be similar to Linebarrels of Iron, because of title call G-Tekketsu (Iron of Blood)
ReplyDeleteHopefully it doesn't have a brat for a pilot this time.
ReplyDeleteYou mean like Wing and 00?
DeleteDamn I hope so too
DeleteYou mean like zeta and first?
DeleteThat's highly unlikely to happen outside of Movies and OVAs. Gundam TV series have traditionally targeted children and teenagers. It wouldn't make sense to include a protagonist that's not in your intended audience range.
DeleteBut domon is 20 years old....
DeleteMy prediction: Urobutcher will be involved.
ReplyDeleteOh hell yes, let this be true.
Deleteit might looks like a knight. (iron of blood) by the looks of it's armor. remember? if it is it will be very cool indeed. or it can be like fighting gundam too like g series. ^^ anyway so hype for this!!
ReplyDeleteanother brand new series of gundam, well looks cool, mobile suit gundam g tekketsu/ iron blood? blood, well sounds like.... i dunno. back to the topic, yeah that image is a gundam in this series, is bulky, looks evil? well dunno to aha, back on the gundam, who in here a 00 fans? if u know, that gundam is head it is like exia head u know, look closer, not belive? looks the head very carefuly, it is like fusion head between exia (face, v vin,head ), and then red frame ( head, camera, well the head guard almost like amatsu mina, yeah almost that symetrical ), the body well it is like evangelion and valvrave, oh and near the neck u see a white thing, one on left and one on right , it is loooks like exia but it is white not yellow,,and around the neck it looks like nirvas cockpit, u know nirvas has 2 cockpit in 1 suit ( eureka 7 ), but in here it is not like cockpit, but looks like that, the shoulder, uhm reminds me of something, i cannot remember but i think i see that thing before, uhm why the red rings bug me a little, eh never mind, backpack? bulky? the arm is bulky, uhm the arm reminds me of something too, the waist and leg? weaponry? power? and what new power from this suit, it looks evil, unicorn has ntd and brainwave system, oo series have trans am, and ect, but this, hope it is cool XD, AND THE RED THING ON THE BACK, well cannot explain, so guys what do u think?
ReplyDeleteMate, that picture is fan-art. It's not real, wait till thee 15th of July to see what it really is.
DeleteOh wow does that look so damn cool
ReplyDelete3 options. Option 1: Brand spankin new series. Option 2: Sequel to G-Gundam (not the biggest G-Gundam fan). Option 3: Gaia Gear adaptation. If Tomino and Urobutcher are involved. I enjoyed Aldnoah Zero as a whole (later part of S2 wasn't as good) and while G-Reco was a mess, I enjoyed the suit designs. If they came together the show would have a balance of realistic grimness and brevity. Hopefully the characters will be fleshed out more.
ReplyDelete3 Options. Option 1: Brand spankin new series. Option 2: Sequel to G-Gundam (not the biggest fan of G-Gundam). Option 3: Adaptation to Gaia Gear. Looking forward to more Gundam regardless. I wouldn't mind if Tomino and Urobutcher were involved. I enjoyed Aldnoah Zero (except for the latter part of S2, my fave mecha series after Gundam...yes even more than Code Geass, Rahxephon, etc.) I think IF both were involved the series would benefit from a balance between realistic grimness and brevity. Plus he doesn't kill that many characters.
ReplyDeleteThat fan art it looks like it's for a Gundam Evangelion cross over.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's more in the vein of samurai style suits? Iron blood and all that?
ReplyDeleteLooks like they are showing more and more of the silhouette as time goes on. At this rate we'll probably get a good look at the design in 3 or 4 days.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what G Reco is about. The story is so broken and It's like a mess of chat and fight. And I am very disappointed that the 2nd longest serving MS in the series, G-Arcane hasn't participated in any combat, nor transformed into an MA.
ReplyDeleteThe production of G no reco was not without problems.
DeleteThe script was written for 50 episodes but the producers give only 25 episode and when you know that Tomino is not good to tell a story in 50 episode (but good to create a universe), you can understand why the story of G no reco looks like the story of a "from software" game (Darksoul, bloodborne...).
Everything is in the background or in some sentences.
I just wanted to clarify, that picture I sent is an official picture from the G Tekketsu server, I just used some clever tools to clean it up, and was able to pull out and reconstruct details hidden in the darker parts of the photo. This is an official photo from Sunrise, I just was able to get details out if it that aren't visible to the naked eye, and I was able to pull out the color data and enhance it in the proper areas. Sunrise will be updating the site with newer images revealing more details of the silhouette every so often until 7/15.
ReplyDeleteTL;DR It is not a fan art, it is authentic Sunrise property that I was able to use some crafty tools to enhance and pull out details to a more visible level. This is 100% guaranteed real official image.
It doesn't look like the official image
DeleteChill with the god damn fan art.
ReplyDeleteit somewhat looks like a guyver.. i like it!
ReplyDeleteall I know is new series new model kits for me!
ReplyDelete.(^0^). يحيا الجندام
ReplyDeleteガンダムバンザイ
Long live GUNDAM
Devil Gundam anyone?
ReplyDeleteThe question is who's the targeted audience to attract? Kids or teen through adult?
ReplyDeleteGuyking is that you? :P
ReplyDeleteNo.. i am Guydam (translate :gundam +guyverd).. nyiahahahahaha XD.. damn why i feel more and more less expectation as the new gundam series appeared.. the last gundam i favored the most still laying on gundam seed series.
DeleteAfter G no Reconguista being kinda lackluster to just plain bad...I don't think I'd give another "G no..." series a try. Gundam as a franchise is overplayed.
ReplyDeleteThat is one huge V fin, and quite a thin waist.
ReplyDeleteWell, today, the left hand is revealed.......
ReplyDeletemaybe the series is about massive war,what i mean a japan civil war or a big war in the history of gundam,to me the meaning of iron and blood is the iron is gundam machine and the blood the human who is inside the machine which means blood bath war,maybe sunrise is concern about losing fans so they make this more dark gundam for fans like me who like war in blood and iron.
ReplyDeletei can see knight gundam in the new photos
ReplyDeleteHey, that shadow image, if u notice, this gundam have big v fin! Looks carefully! U can see it in shadow image ( not the fan art, but shadow image!), so what do u think, uhm that v fin reminds me of v fin from gundam seed, but i forgot the name of ms, the v vin is like :
ReplyDelete| | ( sorry is not to same, but this line
| | ( | ) it must bend like this line ( \
| | and / ) but more and more bends,
\ / because there are not line like that
\ / I use this line ( | ) , but well, it close
\ / enough, so u can see it, so what do
\/ you think? )
The V fin looks similar to Astray Out Frame. http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/ZGMF-X12_Gundam_Astray_Out_Frame Is that the one you're talking about?
DeleteAn important question we need to ask is will it be CG or traditional 2D animation?
ReplyDeleteJudging from the amount of details on the suit I guess that chance is pretty high of it being CG. I heard that one of the reasons that suits in season 2 of 00 appears blockier than in season 1 was cause they thought they where to hard to animate, so something this detailed I say the odds a pretty high.
Deleteits a bit soon to say.. but i like that fan art allot better than the new picture. lets make an new series of that instead :D and while your at is a MG.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the fan art looks much better
DeleteUpon further inspection, this definitely looks like it will at least related to Gaia Gear.
ReplyDeleteMan why can't you just wait for more info to release before you start forming opinions. Nobody knows what this is about and there's nothing to says its related to that shit.
DeleteThere's nothing that says anything about Gaia Gear. Just wait before you start forming opinions. You don't know what this could be about. Nobody does.
DeleteThat torso is awfully thin..like the ms isn't fully complete but close.
ReplyDeleteAgree,and there are so many cables there making that ms seems incomplete or in the middle of development
DeleteDevil Gundam?
ReplyDeleteIm pretty excited about this new mobile suit it looks pretty cool so far
ReplyDeleteIts web site is chrismas for me!
ReplyDeleteit would be nice if it were a link between all series of gundam made fine now
ReplyDeleteapparently a cross between 00 and unicorn, with a touch of opera Kazuhisa Kondo
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely sure that photoshop is going to be accurate. I get the feeling that the darkness was uncovered asymmetrically on purpose. Maybe to hide a faction logo or some such?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a Super deformed gundam.....
ReplyDeleteNo
Deletei think this gundam isn't complete yet.. just look at those cables and that torso
ReplyDeleteLol yeah, it looks like there's no torso, just two pipes connecting the top part of the body to the lower part of the body
DeleteThe art style really reminds me of 00 gundam stuff
ReplyDeleteAll those hydraulics will look really cool on an MG of this kit. Hope the legs look as good...
ReplyDeleteNadleeh is that you?
ReplyDeleteOh God it really is the V-fin. Winning Gundam 2.0
ReplyDeleteThe head, uhm, WAS Awesome!!!!!! And CREAPY! Ok first, if u notice, hey oo fans, the head is fusion head between oo gundam head and legilis head, not belive??? What kupo? U dont belive me? See carefully!!!! For v fin, i cant explain kupo XD aha i think that is new v fin, kupo, so what do you think???
ReplyDeleteapparently it seems created by the author Kazuhisa Kondo
ReplyDeleteHmm, neat. The V-fin appears to be crown like.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this series will have knight-like elements with it.
The ms looks complex... wonder if it's going to has an HG... or not. Maybe MG.
ReplyDeletethe only thing I dont like from this design is its overly thin waist, it seem off compared to its rather bulky build
ReplyDeleteI agree hopefully that isn't it's true design
Deletegundam becoming a biodroid perhaps? or shades of evangalion?
ReplyDeletenow that would be a new direction........
the head is kinda ugly
ReplyDeleteActually I fallen for the head,
DeleteThat Head design, I love it. But I wonder about the waist.....hopefully it's just something incomplete and in maintenance so by the time the anime is revealed the Gundam is fully completed
ReplyDeleteI was hoping the head would have been a little bit less gundam-esque and break away a bit, but it still looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI hope by the half way point the only parts that's left of the original is the head. The rest is a scrapped together mess.
DeleteAnyone else see slight resemblance to the Legilis?
ReplyDeleteyeah i can see (more than the oo gundam like everybody seem to see)
DeleteFuck fan art
ReplyDeletelooks like innovator's GNZ series MS from Gundam 00
ReplyDeletebecause the last fan art was so accurate?
ReplyDeletemaybe the reason why the torso is so hollow is because a core block is supposed to fit in there
ReplyDeleteI hope this war series is not related to autism highschool boy students turning into a badass. Its getting older and older. Come on let there be girls pilot that huge ugly face.
ReplyDeleteGundam is not about feminism bro.
Deletehave you see Victory gundam bro?
DeleteWow, kupo it is so cool kupo, if u notice the head it is fusion between oo gundam head and legilis head! Not belive kupo? Look carefully kupo! For new fan art, well kupo, .the leg it is like crown leg XD aha kupo, but that is fan art, so kupo what do u think?
ReplyDeleteWell I think that you should stop saying kupo. Loser.
DeleteThat moment when fan art is better than the real thing...
ReplyDeleteGundam Legilis ver 2.0
ReplyDeleteOk.....what? It's set on Mars, of all things?
ReplyDeleteBased on Google translate, these are the information I had received:
ReplyDelete1) There was a great war 300 years ago that is labeled as "Disaster War" After this war, the governing body of Earth sphere became defunc. In its place was a new system of governing bodies
2) The Protagonist is employed in CGS, a PSMC
Okay judging from trailer
ReplyDeleteProtagonist is a the kid with black hair. (gosh, Using the same recipe again bandai, at least I want 30 years old man as a protagonist)
The arts looks like code geass-ish
The gundam: its good, the only think I didnt like its the waist and feet (subjectively of course)
Other formulas bandai never leave: One of them probably wearing a mask and become protagonist rival. (Im guessing the silver haired one?)
Final thought : maybe I will watch it, if Im not busy.
Uhh, Bandai doesn't make the series, never, sunrise does.
DeleteBandai is a video game and toymaking company.
The fck is that?! I'm a lil bit disappointed here.
ReplyDelete-All suits use the same frame
ReplyDelete-Powers up by changing armor
=Bandai version Frame Arms?????
This is something similar to the horror we call G-Savior where hardpoints and components were common between mecha. >.> So it isn't that new for Gundam (though I don't think that many have seen or like G-Savior).
DeleteThe fck is that? I'm a lil bit disappointed here
ReplyDeleteYou're a faggot
DeleteExpectation vs. Reality!
ReplyDeletethat doesnt look that nice, not gonna buy a kit of that gundam, thats for sure...
ReplyDeletethe design of the waist and the feet is lame
ReplyDeletethe fan art looks sooooo much better than that gundam!! CAN I HAZ MODEL KIT OF DAT?!?!
ReplyDeletealso i find it a cheap way to give them all the same inner frame, come on these are gundams not frame-arms..
Wait a minute.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe they've realized/admit that G-Reco was a commercial failure overall and this is like a redo of it with everything different?
At the very least, the animation and art style is definitely an improvement over the huge eye sore that is G-Reco.
Anyway, I wouldn't call this a Gundam series at all. Maybe they should just drop that name all together?
1/100 kit? So no Master Grade?
Also is that supposed to be Bandai's take on Frame Arms kits where all kits share the same frame but just have different armor pieces? I mean I guess that's cool especially if it'll cut down on costs and ultimately mean faster releases and cheaper prices for us. Let's hope quality isn't sacrificed though.
I'm not 100% committed on this series yet, let alone buying GunPla for it.
Nice try and shut up, suiton.
DeleteKnight based, centaur legs...mid-season upgrade might be gladiator-esque or something
ReplyDelete"cannibalize parts"
ReplyDeleteBrutal
Uhm, so that is babatros gundam kupo, but well kupo, i think babatros will have true form/ final form or upgrade form like other gundam series, well kupo if u notice the skirt is different from the announcement over kupo, it looks knight. So kupo, this gundam has a weapon, primary weapon is Trident hammer? Well looks cool. So kupo what u waiting for this series?
ReplyDeleteA. Have nice story like oo series, seed series, or any gundam series.
B. HAVE new system for battle.
C. HAVE awesome battle. D. Have final form upgrade.
D. Think this like g reco.
E. OBTAIN new armor and weaponry.
F.have new drive engine.
G. THE stories that make u want more fighting, sacrifice, and make u cry/ hype.
H. Have nice gimmick
I. Not for kid watching
J. For teen - adult watching
( choose one )
So kupo tx for reading, don't forget to send and reply it to me kupo. ( sender: Dr. Mogle )
Shit, stop this "kupo" things!
DeleteI'm gonna call it that Gundam Guy won't fully blog this series like Reconguista in G!
ReplyDeleteNope, he's going to blog this series. He didn't blog the other series because of its major flaws. This one looks promising.
DeleteHuh? As I recall GG do g reco too.
DeleteI am the only one who thinks the new Gundam is inspired by a minotaur ? A V -FIN does appear to have horns, hooves on his feet and a gun is clearly a spiked mace
ReplyDeleteHopefully they turn this into an 08th ms-esque story which is what it's starting to strongly resemble regardless of how should we say lack-luster the mobile suit design is but that inner frame for the 1/100 does look nifty, either way we more than likely will grow on the suit if the series is good.But it does appear to be a alternate timeline by a couple things and that is a little thing to worry about in terms of execution.
ReplyDeleteThe Legs is like from G-Recon and the feet is like a T-Rex. its my opinion.
ReplyDeleteCannibalize parts eh? Well that makes me taking other HG/MG kit accessories and giving them to my preferred kit a whole lot more justifiable :3
ReplyDeleteWell.....It's actually the most decent-looking new main-Gundam design I've seen since the Unicorn, so there may be hope for the mecha designs in general for this show. What a nice change of pace that would be. To me, except for Unicorn, almost all the suit designs for years worth of new shows have either been boring (Age), ugly (Rec G), shameful, money-grubbing re-casts (Build Fs), or both boring AND ugly (00).
ReplyDeleteOh and I love how the plot synopsis in this post starts off perfectly readable, then english slowly-but-surely waves bye-bye to it and by the end I have no fucking idea what I'm reading anymore. Might as well have been a chinese cookbook. Not hating; just found that amusing.
Shut up
DeleteWell this is the funny part, this mecha designer is the one who design your so called ugly and boring gundam - AGE and 00. Sayonara! Hipokrit sampai mati
DeleteIts funny how you said decent....Decent by whose value? In the comment above you'll see a lot of people complaining. I bet you're a faggot who only worship UC and didnt check another series
Deletediff anon here, so if a designer made "a" good design, ALL his other design MUST be good as well??
DeleteIts transplantation not cannibalize parts, that gundam isnt feed by another MS part to make the power supply right? Its restoring part to make it functional so it will upgrade its ability. Just like human being we didnt cannibalize when we change our eyes with the donor eyes so that we can see..its TRANSPLANTATION
ReplyDeleteI second that. TRANSPLANTATION!!
DeleteSo the lead mechanical designer is Washio who did Fafner, Isekai Seikishi Monogatari and Valvare. Didn't particularly like 00 gundam design but Ebikawa won't be the lead designer this time, he may design some minor suits here and there, like the grunt suit really have Ebikawa signature on it but the Gundam so far doesn't.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, tank mechs. Not just bipeds, but tank mechs. This series has some really awesome, grungy realistic feeling MS. Love the idea that the Gundam takes parts from other MS, such a great idea. It's like they are taking Gundam X's post apocalyptic setting and really getting their mileage out of it.
ReplyDeleteI always wish for less pew pew beam spam. Gundam with a taste of break blade is always welcome. Classic clash of real weapon, with all the heaviness and solid physical form. Hopefully this is the one.

DeleteGundam as a special unit which turn the tides of war, specially manufactured to be a unit with superior performance by major manufacturer. This time they're manufactured little by little by independent faction consist of orphans. From the narration, the idea sounds great and relatively new and creative approach. And if it's really lack in beam spamming, this gonna be an awesome series.
ReplyDeletewell yeah i just pre-odered RG red frame over this kit. don't get me wrong this kit is ok but it's not really my type and i'm a lil bit disappointed so bandai? just bring back unicorn and seed Sigh!
ReplyDeleteOrga's doomed. Such is the fate of the older senpai....
ReplyDeletethat V-fin is really big.. and ugly..
ReplyDeleteWhoa in mars? How can they breathe here without getting caught by the red dust storm in Mars. plus the mars looks similar to earth background? the sky? Or is it some kind a special wall to prevent people without getting caught by red dust storm. the red dust storm have a small piece of pebble could cause people to cough or hard to see in the eye of the storm??
ReplyDeleteIs anyone a little, bugged by the main character/pilot's eyes?
ReplyDeleteIt made him look like a non-smiling Ash Ketchum, with steroid-pumped muscles. Maybe a little...
From looks and appearances alone, feels kinda like a Heero Yuy re-creation in design.
All-in-all, feeling conflicted about the main character's design appearance
