I highly doubt it'll be similar to C.E's protrayal of war-stopping. Sure, it had Lacus's big guns doing the smackdown, but the core representation of the message wasn't the destruction, but what comes from it.
This one with it's blatant tag of a "War-Eradication Faction" and the "Rebirth Through Destruction"(tl?) line at the end seems to indicate a much less peaceful eradication of wars...For all we know, these Gundams are going to stop wars by destroying them... As ridiculously overpowered that sounds, unless they command their own armies.

On the other hand, you can certainly see influences from Code Geass on some of the presentation here. The character designs share the antagonistic bishie look. The "war eradication" and "rebirth through destruction" taglines just scream Lelouch's agenda of "peace through destruction". Let's hope the similarities won't be too much, or at least be presented differently, but we'll see.

But generally, would there actually be a real competition aside from Sunrise pitting themselves against themselves? It's not like they're sharing a same time-slot anyway, if we assume CG S2 will replace DtB.

The character designs tick me off, mostly because it's the Loveless designs, and I seriously don't need anymore fangirl bishie galore orgy like Gundam Wing was...
Of course, I should not judge a show by its character designs. A show might have ghay character designs, but put in the hands of the right animator and the right director, it can be godly. Just look at Code Geass. That's bad designs (Clamp) handed to good animator (Kimura) and great director (forgot name lol) and turned around into a godly show. Here's hoping that it'll actually be good. |

Am I dreaming? Some of those characters...they look older than 16 years old! Could it be we'll have some adults in the main cast?
Seriously, I kinda like the character design. I know some people will complain about the "yaoi" vibe they get from it but a- just don't look at fanarts/fanfics and b- don't worry, even ugly/manly characters can be yaoi fodder so it would happen anyway. ps: I love Code Geass character design And I really hope there won't be a Code Geass vs Gundam 00 trend...

And again, let's not forget MBS produces both shows, and its their timeslot that they are trying to revive with this show. I'd think that they would want it to succeed, even more than Sunrise does. So even if Sunrise employees have said that they plan on releasing it in the fall, there might be other factors to consider

Yeah I know it's screwy that way, especially with the current trend towards younger loli characters that make Lacus, Mirallia and Cagalli look like adults. Also I noticed there wasn't a single girl in the entire teaser trailer, which is something I haven't seen in a long long time. In fact I haven't seen this many men in 14 seconds in an anime spot in a long while as well. Although Gundam with a loli heroine would be extremely screwy so it's not surprising to see all male pilots in the trailer.

Yeah, makes sense... But only if this show does manage to catch on. Otherwise it's going to be a repeat of the Zeta Gundam-Layzner episode for Sunrise, or, more recently, something out of Gundam X, methinks. G00 is facing competition from not only Geass but also the Seed movie after all. It'll be tough getting the attention of everybody for sure, especially if people aren't about to switch over.

After reading the scenerio, I'm hoping the show would be similar to Gundam X because it has a more relaxed beginning such that it allows new viewers to jump right in after a couple of episodes without being confused about what the heck is going on like Code Geass, plus it should help out the raitings.
Also as for competition among its own series, well Code Geass has a late night slot so it would not be of much concern with MBS in terms of raitings, however the concern might be with DVD sales when CODE GEASS and G00 and the GS movie are released, however I do not know how it is going to be handled throughout the year. Another thing is that if the plot is mroe relaxed, it can work for an American audiance, especially if they can release it in America and promote it properly instead of the bad timeslot they had with SEED in America. |

I'm excited, and I really hope the (Gundam?) pilot with the purple hair and the glasses turns out to be a girl and not a really bishie-looking guy.
Because there hasn't been a main character female Gundam pilot since Gundam 0080 in like...1991, and it's time for Gundam to move into the 21st century! I was hoping the main character would be female, but I'll be happy if one of the four are. Last edited by Not_At; 2007-06-02 at 15:15. |
