Split or not, I'm hoping for a longer show like AGE was. The "evolve over time" aspect of the Barbatos won't really work with a 2-cour show, I think, unless it's only meant to get minimal visible upgrades or upgrades like every other episode, both of which I feel would be a waste.

The new PV looks gritty. The title is gritty and even the story looks gritty. Last time I saw a gritty Gundam was The 08th MS Team, and I am surprised no one mentioned the similarities.
After all, what is the RX-79? Its pretty much a Gundam with mismatching, leftover parts. This machine was then thrown into a conflict where an impossible ideal attempted survival against two titanic military factions. So yes, I think it has some X, some Broken Blade (but a kingdom is always better support), and definitely 08th MS Team. And I always root for underdogs. Go kids. - Tak

Also, from all the comments I saw in the PV, the Gundam Guy Page, and others, I really got to say that people really can't live down G-Reco, constantly saying "Tekketsu must be better than G-Reco" and stuff..

an interesting fact that the Gundam Barbatos isn't the first MS named Barbatos in the meta series, there is a variant of the Phoenix Gundam named GGV-000 Barbatos from SD Gundam G Generation World game, also the fact both are named after the earl & duke of hell.

Wikipedia Summary, take it for what its worth, but I would assume its mostly accurate:
"Post Disaster Era 323, 300 years after a great war between Earth and Mars known as the "Calamity War", Mars has been successfully Terraformed and colonized by humans. However even with the advancements, the humans in Mars crave freedom against the Earth Government. A young orphan named Mikazuki Augus is working for the private contractor group CGS, entrusting the safety of the Martian Princess Cordelia Aina Bernstein with her plans for her nation of Chryse to secure independence from Earth. But one day, they were attacked by the terrorist group Gjallarhorn in hopes to stop the Martian Independence. Worse, CGS's deal with the government has cut off, and they have finally gone rogue after the deal with Orga Itsuka planning to rebel against the adults. Augus must now choose to either follow his friend, or his mission as he stumbles into the legendary mobile suit: the Gundam Barbatos." |

From what I can see, the original Japanese text used the word "doryoku-ro" which translates to "power reactor". The word for "nuclear reactor" would be "genhiro", which isn't used here. That's an important distinction because a power reactor can refer to any type of reactor that produces power (including fictional ones, take the GN Drives from 00), whereas a nuclear reactor would refer to a reactor that specifically uses nuclear fusion and/or fission type processes. The text doesn't mean that they aren't nuclear reactors, but it does mean that the type of power it uses is still open and not disclosed for the moment. Also, what I'm hearing to be the official English profile just uses the word "generator", so that further confirms my analysis earlier. I do hope that they'll tell us eventually though and not just leave it not specified like AGE did.

Has anyone noticed that the title logo is done vertically, as opposed to the horizontal arrangement the Gundam title logo's been following since the beginning?
(comparison; Anohana in the left and G-Tekketsu in the right)

As for the original martians sounds to me like they were just humans as well, the first humans who settled the red planet. Also, for a planet that's been " successfully" terraformed, it's still awfully red looking from that one scene with the ship in space. |
