I think Gundam X needs to be completed more than any other existing series because they left out some material thanks to some bad decision making regarding its airing time slot.
All Gundam X has is the series and a sequel manga that pretty much doesn't add much if anything. I wanna see what happens with Garrod and Tiffa after all that's happened. And what's the full story of spoiler[DOME]? And all the events that happened before the start of the series would be a nice touch to making it fully complete. |

I think there have been super robot pilots in most previous Gundam series. Heero was already a pro. |

Seed is done. That Gundam silhouette doesn't really look like a design that would come from the Cosmic Era universe.
I expect a new installment. 00 had a good run, but it ended on a high note and everything that was originally meant to be told was told. Topping the movie would be tough. I'm amused at the request for cramming 2D super robot character types into Gundam, which is essentially a request to completely miss the point and deliver an inferior version of Domon Kasshu from G in the process. Heh. No thanks! Last edited by GWOtaku on Mon Jun 06, 2011 10:05 am; edited 1 time in total |

I'd like to see a Gryps Conflict side story. Especially one concentrating on the Karaba group and what Amuro Ray was doing during Gundam ZZ.
If it's not UC, I don't know. Maybe another G Gundam series? As long as it's not more CE. Ugh. |

Where have all the Noa Izumis gone from anime?
The small hope I have is that this new Gundam project will debut a strong, capable female lead as its main focus. However, I'm not naive enough to believe that will actually happen. If it were to happen, my fear is that such a character would turn out to be mega-"moe" or hyper-sexualized; it's often either one extreme or the other, these days. ::sigh:: |

Most Gundams have been Super Robots since G Gundam. I mean just look at Gundam 00 Raiser and tell me that's a realistic robot. The only thing keeping Setsuna from being a Super Robot pilot is that he doesn't scream attack names. One of the problems Gundam series have had is creating tension because the enemy mechas can't compete with the Gundams. Domon Kasshu was one of the best main characters in Gundam history because he wasn't some teenager who didn't want to fight. He was a grown man, who while forced into the situation to redeem his father, enjoyed fighting his fellow pilots. Just because a character is a Super robot pilot doesn't mean that his a shallow character, there are several characters in SRW that are well developed, Domon Kasshu is one of the best developed characters in the Gundam franchise, the cast of Gurren Lagann is fairly well developed as well. Yasuhiro Imagawa's Giant Robo is one of the greatest anime ever created. A show's quality is dependent on the writing not the genre. Let's be blunt Gundam has been stuck in a rut for the past few series. How many times do we need a series created from cobbling together different ideas from previous Gundam series like Frankenstein's Monster? In Gundam 00 one of the defining features of the series (Trans-am) was based off of the Japanese version of a Chuck Norris joke. |

My comment was just about character types, I don't dispute the point about the relative power of Gundams or really worry about it much. Execution is everything when it comes to delivering a riveting action scene. I actually really like Domon. All I'm saying is, no, I don't want a Go Nagai hero in a Gundam show or anything like that.
Nah. 00 and Unicorn are generally everything that is right with the franchise. This is the direction to keep heading in.
Uh.....is there a source for this? This sounds too funny to be true. |

I probably should have said Japanese equivalent to a Chuck Norris Joke, as one of the main jokes about Char is that he makes everything three times faster, the Trans-am causes the Gundam to glow red and enhances attributes by three times. The first season of Gundam 00 was fine and I really enjoyed it, but they simplified the entire world view to a ludicrous level in the second season by removing the question of morality that was found in the first season. I was offended by what I felt was Mizushima and Kuroda basically saying that the strong should decide how they world works. You can't create peace by force. |

My supernatural senses tell me it's going to star a group of angsty pretty boys and will spawn a ridiculous amount of BL doujinshi. |

Wow, this insane speculation clearly shows us how none of us could possibly determine what this new project could be so I don't see the point in doing it.
What I can speculate on is what it will not be. Honestly I don't understand what you guys are thinking with some of your ideas...but I highly doubt it will have anything to do with Gundam SEED or Gundam 00. Those are done, there's really no reason to revisit those. Also, as some have mentioned, since we're already getting Unicorn I don't think it will really be a part of the UC timeline. Regardless, I'm always up for some more Gundam so whatever it is I'm excited! |

Would like to see a better ending/sequal to 00 rather than some Zeta Gundam and Macross Frontier mashup ending it had.
Hathaway's Flash maybe then? I heard about it but I would like to see it animated. Bright Noa needs more screen time  Or a better version of ZZ Gundam.
But in all honesty my top three are 1. G Gundam 2. Crossbone Gundam 3. Better ending for 00
This very well has my attention |

The Sunrise CEO said they wanted to do a G Gundam sequel but due to poor interest in Japan, they wouldn't.
But listen.... Guys and girls.... what if.... it's a G Generation anime? Seriously, think about it. The initial announcement was around the time of G Gen World's release. Owakwara (sp?) mentioned in a twitter feed, "Universal Century perhaps?" Also; Sunrise won't touch X with a twenty foot stick. We're lucky it's getting exposure. Although I wouldn't be suprised if it was G Gundam-esque and just straight up Super. We've had Seed/ Seed Destiny which was a homage to 0079/ Zeta, We've had 00 S1 which was a Wing homage. ??? for G Gundam homage and ??? for Turn A. Although I seriously want to see some sort of "Glory of the Undefeated" adaption someday. |
