One more day to go. I'm definitely looking forward to this as one of the Gundam series to air for the Season. I really hope Tomino will deliver with what he has planned tbh.

Can't wait for this to start. Been really anticipating this.

The descriptions and character descriptions sound pretty good and I'm really looking forward to what Tomino has in mind, and I'm glad to finally see Yoshida back too, plus the combination of Tomino and Yoshida working together again but this time on Gundam.

Interesting new detail on those 3 being the only possible pilots and how the G-Self customizes.

I've only seen one Gundam series before, and that was Seed. While it was enjoyable for the most part, I wasn't a huge fan of it. But, I like to keep an open mind for things like this. Also, as an Eureka Seven obsessed fanboy, seeing Yoshida get some more work is enough for me to watch a series.

From what I hear the theme is going to be boy meets girl meets robot, instead of just boy meets robot that seems to be present in a lot of Gundam series. I hope that means there will be some significant romance down the line.

I hope this is under the control of a bitter, irate, and wrathful Tomino. Too bad the mobile suit just looks like another Exia with maybe a little bit of RX-78-2 scheme.

Tomino may be a d*ck, but I still have hopes for this. Although, having said that, I'm still waiting and I still prefer an AU over ANOTHER UC-related series.

I do like the lead Gundam, not the best, but still good in a unique sort of way. I like how it combines the following.



Gotta love the AGE-1 Gundam.

I have to ask this as a non-Gundam fan: do you think a person can watch this show without much knowledge about the Gundam Franchise? For the record, I am working through Unicorn, I saw SD years ago, and half payed attention to some movies I don't know the names of.

Oh, thank the stars that finally someone has come along to get us out of this rut we're in and giving us much more compelling stories like the one about the dude who falls in love at first sight with the pirate.

Sure. What makes you think you NEED to watch the other series to enjoy this one ?

By all indications we've seen so far, yes, it appears to be a stand alone thing.

Very happy to see Tomino in the director's chair again. Buuut yeah, there seems to be no indication of this streaming anywhere and the clock is ticking sssso... ;_;

OK Australia, New Zealand, UK, and Ireland are getting 'Gundam Reconguista in G'. What about North and South America?
