Mecha anime is always a "guy" thing, especially during the 90's where they didn't bother making an obligatory female member and instead made all male teams. The whole "GIRL POWER MECHA" didn't pick up much steam during the 90's if the doujin markets shown anything. The fact that Nova was extremely obscure didn't do them any favors. It is not to say girl power mecha doesn't sell but only the exoskeleton niche sells at the moment. Rinne could change that possibly

That said, Rinne is also playing it somewhat safe, not falling too fall into Strike Witches territory which does have the entire yuri fandom backing it up. Don't know if the male supporting cast will be bad guys or not. Maybe mission control or using weaker mechas.
