The problem I have with G-Reco is that it took me more than 10 episodes to fully grasp what's going on, at least in terms of the political backdrop (which IMO is the most interesting part of the show). I understand that it's a new setting and they need to do some world building, but the show hasn't been doing too well in terms of getting the audience to understand what's going on. Or maybe I'm just slow. But I haven't had this problem with other shows I've watched. I'm perfectly fine with the odd mobile suit designs and the humour, though. The humour is okay and isn't as bad as say ZZ. I am absolutely loving (most of) the mobile suits. While I do love my standard UC-style MSes, some of the G-Reco suits like the Elf Brook and Mack Knife are really unique and introduce a very new and special style.

Most japanese sales for games/movies happen on the first week unless its supply constraint or benefits from a resurgence of popularity.
If G-Reco was a brand new IP from an up and coming studio then the numbers would be respectable. But for a gundam and by sunrise the numbers are pretty bad. Not horrible like AGE but not even middle of the pack if does like just about every other anime, where the first volumes sell the most and steadily decrease over time. |

Are you counting Unicorn and soon the Origin?
Mainline, none children targeted Gundams have been doing pretty well sales wise for the last decade. Sure the toys are what Bandai's after, but you aint going to see no one at bandai/sunrise complain if it does well disk wise. Regardless, it doesn't matter for the outcome of G-Reco. Production is well underway, Tomino doesn't care about anything but the show and already has everything planned, the series is picking up and the toys are doing fine. Video/Disks. There isn't a concrete way of finding out how gunpla is doing in general outside of anecdotal accounts or looking at sales rankings in amazon. |

TV series. OVA/Movies have different standards and are generally expected to push video sales, outside that there really isn't much of a "standard" for Gundam since there's various factors that deem it successful. While SEED pushed a lot of DVDs it's Gunpla line was a dud and Destiny pretty much bombed in that department outside Strike Freedom.

still again, what is with the OP footage still being a reused slide show that does not match up with upbeat-ness of the songs?, it gets boring really fast,
heck even with the original version of SEED's edited recycled stock footage still makes me want to watch the OP because it matches up well with the songs, also its much better if they used the stylish original sequence back in the day like old times, with AGE being the last that used that style as of recent, did they just spent the entire budget for an eye catching intro on Build Fighters Try or Tomino does want to do stylish intros anymore?.......
