My hope is that UC at least returns even more love back to Universal Century so that other Universal Century manga series are pushed forward for anime works or OVA series/movie.
Mobile Suit Gundam Silhouette Formula 91 in UC 0123 was surprisingly good(And could be wrapped up in a single movie really) and Gundam Ecole Du Ciel is more than deserving of a series. Not only is it great, gives us an amazing female lead, but it also eventually takes place during the hugely popular Zeta era. |

After the mediocricy of AGE, I wonder how Gundam is going to continue to attract younger viewers. It seems like ideas are fast running out. So I hope while they still can, and that most of the seiyuus of the UC cast are still around, produce series hailing from the UC universe. If a 50 episode series is not able to sustain the fine quality of animation that Unicorn could, why not opt for the OVA track - have episodes with gaps of a few months shouldn't be too long (for older and more avid Gundam viewers that is).

Bandai should re look the approach they took with AGE - if they failed at attracting the younger crowd, perhaps they should go for the more successful SEED/00 route to try and target older kids instead. That reminds me - what happened to the supposed Origin OVA? |

Moe? I guess, I just want it because of the mecha and because it takes place over a few eras. We also could use a more modern female lead... I mean Tiera doesn't count, just because he look and dresses like a woman doesn't make him a female Gundam Pilot.

Also, I recommend you to watch Zeta series first. The Zeta New Translation movies will confuse the hell out of a first-timer. Not to mention some characters aren't fleshed-out as well as in the series which will also add to the confusion.

What about ZZ, then? Is it worth a watch? A pity it doesn't have a compilation movie yet. |

If you're following Unicorn, you might want to know the origin of Ple-clones like Marida. That took place during ZZ.

The way I see it many fans in the west will freak out and rage no matter what kind of series we get because that's what they do, but at least Sunrise might be able to assure that it continues to find a home in it's native Japan and they don't have to pretend to give a shit about what /m and the Western fandom thinks anymore because they've already pulled out of North America. |

Wait, is Ecole actually any good? I got time in my schedule to blow, going through Gundam withdrawal.

Yes it's pretty good, though for those that aren't familiarized with Moe may be caught off guard by the art style at first. Though make no mistake, this follows the classic UC faithfully and isn't afraid to kill off characters. Reminds me of Zeta, ah... Good old Zeta, everyone was dying there and unlike Victory the deaths weren't just there for the thrill death factor.

Ecole may have a "moe" female pilot (somewhat debatable imo), but ignoring that artistic aspect, it's very much yet more UC goodness, and is most definitely not K-ON in mecha. I'd highly recommend it if you enjoy the UC setting. Personally, I find very little in the UCverse bad.
As for the potential for a future female Gundam lead pilot in a main tv series, I wouldn't hold my breath. I'd certainly love to see one, especially if it was set in UC, but it is incredibly rare in anime in general-not just Gundam specifically-to give us a female lead who isn't just a vehicle for a man's rescue fantasies.
