Sorry, IBO's season 2 was one of the worst things I've seen Gundam ever do. Yes Relena's ultra-pacifism is naiive and too idealistic and it's clear even by Endless Waltz that her peace idea will keep getting squashed by some person or group, also certain ideas like destroying Gundams is also stupid. That being said IBO's season 2 I will stand by it being utter dog poo, the only part of it that works is maybe Ashton's death and Naze's death. The rest of that season is such a narrative cluster of garbage and disappointment.
Though ZZ Gundam had tons of bad parts too that nearly sunk it, it's probably the worst UC show penned by the series creator no less. It's also something that hampered the Char's Counterattack movie's narrative as there is no buildup to Char's craziness, which is something Tomino could of explored.

You must be new to Gundam. Tomino sold rights to Gundam years ago and has often preached that it is time for someone else to take the reigns. He hasn't been around for an anniversary for twenty years now... and that was for the Big Bang Project at the 20th milestone. So yeah, the chances of him being involved on anything is pretty slim. Heck, he couldn't even get the G-Reco movie up and moving without some major begging... and it all falls on whether it does well enough to warrant more. In short: he's done with Gundam. Sorry.

Morosawa is dead as is the hype for SEED. That era is long over with and will probably never be returned to. I think Fukuda said that he probably couldn't return to it without his wife anyways and I'm quite happy for it to remain that way. Also, kudos for believing in a fabricated title!

I'd prefer they retcon the movie and ditch the alien plot.
Gundam is better sticking to political intrigue. Season 1 was awesome. Season 2 was also enjoyable but a step down. The movie was completely off the rails for me.

I though Gundam 00 was dead too, was wrong about that so you never know if someone won't suddenly decide to bust out a Seed sequel anyway. Kind of the same with Code Geass.

I'm excited, although I do feel every Gundam 00 anime is worse than the one before it. I'm excited but a little worried as well. A lot of time has passed though. Maybe the creative juices are flowing in full swing again and this'll turn out season 1 quality.

So we're getting sequels to FLCL, Code Geass and now the best Gundam series ever. Life keeps getting better and better. All I need now is a Gurren Lagann sequel from Gainax.

I heard about the sequel then heard the thing that puts me off most....
It's not retconning the movie.
I wish it would as trailblazer was hot garbo with it's only saving grace being the Immortal Colasour.
