Loved this show. Mika is now one of my favorite Gundam MCs. While he's not the brightest of people, and he most certainly has some form of PTSD, he gets stuff done. Doesn't mope, doesn't hesitate to kill the enemy, doesn't waste time with big speeches. It does seem that all he does is follow what Orga tells him, but that's not quite it, as you'll see by the end of the season. Also, Atra tops my female Gundam characters top. Girl is REALLY though both in body and in mind. Anyone who can shrug off a beating like that deserves respect.

@Alabaster Spectrum My apologies I wasn't trying to ruin the Gundam fandom, I really like what they did with IBO, I understand People have their opinion,But that Individual Try to pass his Hate as it was some form Of fact and I didn't like it, I never see that type of shit in other Gundam Threads Like Gundam forum, Where everyone has Good Opinion for Example I don't like Turn A But I really understand why people love Turn A its good for what its doing Its Opinions like that, I respect Not Childish ones that give the Fandom a bad name. |

SEED was aired in that weird funny spot in between Saturday evening Toonami and [adult swim]. In my time zone, it was on at 10 or 10:30 (Saturday Toonami ended at 10, [adult swim] started at 11). But they didn't air SEED Destiny, to my knowledge.
G Gundam aired on Toonami after Wing's run ended. 00 and 00s2 both aired on SyFy's Ani-Mondays (although they cut the endings, and therefore cut the scenes during the endings). |

Not necessarily, it depends more on the size of the target population, which I'm not sure what it is for Gunpla builders in Japan. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean this survey is reliable, or at least I wouldn't be able to tell since I can't read Japanese and determine the methodology used. |

In Canada. Those two never ran there, the latter being super peculiar since it seemed almost guaranteed to. Anyways, Cosmic Era Gundam was quite significant in Canada, arguably more than Wing was, and that was a pretty big deal. |

You seriously are asking that? What did you do? How about more than a half dozen ignorant and trollish posts. All of them with massive excessive quoting and enough rudeness to choke a bull. You more than willingly got into a childish & trollish flame war with another user. You even just admitted you got into a "fight" with the other user. That's what you did. The same behavior you've been warned about before countless times. Just as you've been told countless times to REPORT users for their own rude behavior and not respond as you did. Might be an old saying but 2 wrongs don't make a right. So don't even try and pretend you're innocent or oblivious to what you did. There is a vast difference between supporting your views on something and defending an opinion civilly and the childish back and forth you had with leonard.lim. You should also see I clearly warned them as well. As I stated though this is their first offense so they simply got a first warning. If they choose to ignore it we'll deal with that. You however have been warned countless times to follow the rules and were moderated for this same behavior before. You have shown a clear inability to improve your posting habits here and discuss topics civilly with other users. On top of that almost every time you're warned about your behavior you act like you're the victim and have done nothing wrong. Like right now. That's not going to work. You know we expect you to post civilly and follow the rules so either you can do it or you can choose not to. Now it's time to move on. |

From an overhead perspective, IBO makes the most sense. IBO is the newest series, so there is a larger potential audience, and there was likely an easier time selling the show to Toonami than anything Gundam that isn't re-upping their old deals for Wing or Seed.
Nothing Universal Century is likely to make much sense if they don't start from the beginning since there isn't a particularly large audience watching Toonami that are immersed in the UC stories to make sense of why anything in Unicorn. Heck, people forget that they did run original Gundam briefly (think it was during a robot week) in the old 90s days of Toonami and it didn't gain traction then either. Purists like to go back to UC as often as they can, which is why they continually keep rehashing the UC story, But outside that staunch fanbase, UC has been done to death and has become a sprawling monster - as daunting to jump into as trying to tackle something like Naruto or One Piece now after not having paid attention for years. From a commercial perspective, anything UC is dead in the states unless the outlet is willing to devote a ton of energy and money on promoting it. Build Fighters isn't really a good fit with Toonami, per se. It could probably work, but again, it's a series that works primarily on two levels - driving the toy angle, and the nostalgia and inside jokes for longtime fans of the franchise. To a lesser degree than UC you still need to be relatively immersed in Gundam or else it becomes somewhat difficult to get into. You're meant, I believe, to care more about the awe of the combinations of classic suits from Gundam past, the match-up of rivalries and friendships to their allegorical origination in a past series, than anything else. Absent knowledge of those things, a lot of the inclination to view the show is lost. Due to its age and the fact that it wasn't a particularly successful show that already had a run in North America, Toonami had little reason to chase after it. AGE did quite poorly in Japan, so again, nothing there would suggest there would be any reason to pursue it. Meanwhile, IBO is newer (despite the repackaging of Unicorn running right now), and has the benefit of a new season coming out in the final quarter of the year, while will give them a chance to cross-promote what is liable to be a DVD/Blu-ray release around the Fall as well. If Toonami was going to go for anything Gundam right now, IBO made the most logical sense. |

Eh... I never had an interest in Gundam (mecha anime just isn't my thing), but I'm sure I'll end up watching this one way or another. If anything it'll be because there's nothing else on TV and it'll be on before I can watch what I actually have interest in seeing.

I remember Gundam Wing was genuinely popular in the United States, and it was talked about all over the school when it was on. You even had commercials for the models on broadcast TV, and Toys R Us and FAO Schwartz and such were selling them. Then, they showed Mobile Suit Gundam, and people kind of tuned out at that point. Discussion on all things Gundam just petered out as it aired. Maybe it's because you Canadians never got Mobile Suit Gundam to kill interest.
Same here. I was actually expecting the next series to be One Punch Man or My Hero Academia, though it'd be a bit early for the latter, frankly. I thought Sunrise and Bandai and whatever were done with all things Gundam in North America. |
