Oh goddammit. That orange haired girl, is she a puru? This is important.

G Reco is ranked #2 as the most votes new Fall anime series in Japan

Spoiler for :

^ Wow, I never thought that many people actually hyped for G-Reco. I mean, I know Gundam is popular, but damn. Did Age garnered this much expectation after its announcement? On the other hand, Fate/Stay Night being on top is a no-brainer .

[Frontier]

Well... it is the first Tomino directed Gundam in some time, and set in the UC from Tomino's words, which likely has people excited .

Though I like to think I'm as equally excited for this as I am Try, if for entirely different reasons .

Cool to see Fate/Stay Night taking the top spot .

Gundam Age was universally hated, dismissed, and mocked no more than 30 seconds after its reveal.

People are underestimating how aggressively marketed Reconguista is.

wait until they reveal that Urobuchi finally gets his own Gundam show or that mythical sequel to SEED Destiny, the voters will instanly go gaga's

IB4 the "I write the concept and the first and last episodes with the rest to others" treatment.

Though I really want to see at least one gundam wrote by him.

Most of us don't live in Japan so we don't get to see the marketing.

Well neither do I , but you know Bandai prescreened first 3 episodes in August and then started streaming these 3 episode in September. It released first 10 minutes of episode 1 along with an interview with Tomino, they also put out a big number of PVs and judging by the number of controversial statements he has made, Tomino is making a lot of interviews. I think it's clear that Bandai is ardently trying to sell Reconguista.

Well, they certainly don't want Reconguista to perform only as well as Age, and probably not even only as well as Turn A.

[Rising Dragon]

AGE's marketing was sabotaged, which is why it did poorly at first. Because this is a Tomino-made Gundam, no one's gone out of their way to sabotage it.

Actually Gundam Build Fighters Try has more twitter followers than Fate/Stay Night, they just forgot to include it for some reason. Maybe because it's not a late night show but it has 33737 followers.

He is obsessed with the franchise, if you go on twitter he's always posting pictures of model kits he's building or musing about his childhood watching Zeta Gundam which was a big influence on him. It seems like his other lifelong dream now that he's written for Kamen Rider. I think he might actually finish the whole thing in that case unlike Aldnoah which was like a consolation gig since it's almost kind of like the real thing.

By whom and how was it sabotaged?

Pre-screening episodes and releasing interviews sounds like standard fare to me, especially with big franchises or when there is a big name attached to the production.

I think the art style sabotaged it out the gate and then that third arc finished it off .

Wow, congrats to Build Fighters Try .

This makes so much sense .

Is there any sign that he's kept up with the franchise after Zeta, or at least with any works in the UC? I'm also interested in knowing what models he's built .

Gen would probably be a good fit for a Gundam series, not to mention all the popularity and attention that would bring, and he already has experience working on long-running, popular, and heavy merchandise franchises after writing Kamen Rider Gaim .

[SonicSP]

Really looking forward to Fate Stay/Night. Of course G-Reco is also there on my interest list.
