There is a difference between pacifism (the extreme rejection of violence) and not wanting to kill. Quote:
Otherwise, it's still a matter of probability and statistic, which is still in the favor of those who can successfully disable their opponents, especially if they do it indiscriminately. |

even if his targets are now disarmed but still capable of moving around & trying to escape, what happens if said target encountered another opponent in the area while still unarmed? how can he/she fight back? well its like giving that person a chance to live but only to be ended by another person who may or may not on your own side? also that person you gave a second chance may will bite you back hard in the future without mercy just because he/she is an enemy........ or for revenge..... he really hates you be cause you pissed him off for humiliating him...... well depending on that individual's personality..........

Exactly, it's a chance, not a guarantee. Killing them would be a guaranteed death. Disabling them still gives them a chance to survive while not eliminating their chance to die.

In AGE it was different since everyone kept screaming at Kio to go for the kill. It's hard to get your "not killing the enemy" point across when your own series in undermining you at every turn. |

Huh. I wasn't expecting Tomino to come back to Gundam, since he seemed adamant about G-Reko being its own thing separate from Gundam. Maybe a combination of it being the 35th anniversary of Gundam, a desire to both refresh the franchise and potentially get a bigger audience for the story he wanted to tell, were what motivated him to turn G-Reko into Reconguista in G?
Just going off the trailer alone, it certainly looks like it'll be different form the current fare of Gundam. Plot wise, it'll be interesting to see where Tomino takes the story of the "Reguild Century" since it doesn't seem like Reconguista will be a traditional war story. I can see it either being standalone like Victory, or potentially bridging UC to Turn A. All in all though, while I love and enjoy Gundam for what it traditionally is, I can appreciate the fresh take that Reonguista seems to be . Honestly, even as someone who loves Eureka 7 and enjoyed AO until its ending, the first thing I thought of when I saw the animation was Turn A. I mean, I see the overlap in character designers but the designs, particularly the hair, give off a real Turn A vibe for me. I guess it helps that I saw Turn A long after watching both Eureka 7 and AO . I think the Gundam looks... interesting. Actually, I get the feeling that interesting is going to potentially be an apt description for a lot of stuff in Reconguista . Though what the heck happened to Haro ? Though on the topic of pacifism, I don't think, as a concept or ideal, that it's inherently wrong. I don't think that just because a person wishes for peace, or doesn't want to kill anyone, that it makes them weak or bad characters, naive as they may be. I also don't think Age handled its pacifist angle very well, so I can understand why people would be tired of it, not that I think it'll be an issue for Reconguista .

Anyway, pacifism is a good thing, I don't understand why anyone would be against it. The problem is that some series portray it in a way which makes characters actions inconsistent or hypocritical. |

There is an update of the tone of the show
"Tomino, “Reconguista is not for the UC fans but for children” http://zakitakubu.com/2014/03/20/tom...-for-children/ |

Ahaha after Urobuchi here comes Tomino with relatively lighter real robot series
Make no mistake, I expect bloodshed in this one too, just that it won't be Victory level of depressing. After Brain Powered, who knows. Tomino's mood are unpredictable like that.
