About freakin' time!
Now we wait and see if they can craft a good, memorable story out of this. |

The main Gundam design didn't look very interesting at first, but the line art and model look pretty good.
Hopefully staff details and such soon. I hope it's good. |

Why does it have to follow the G-Reco/IBO style mobile suit designs? Ah well, I hope the story is as far away as possible from those two.
Music sounds like 100% Sawano. |

Yeah the music beats sound way too Sawano.
Is this the first time we have a main featured Gundam female pilot that is literally the poster girl for the series? I think I may have missed someone from UC era who may have the similar treatment. That being said, I want to buy the HG gunpla of that Gundam, despite how much it resembles Iron Blood Orphan series whose thin torso may not be everyone’s cup of tea |

Twilight Axis erasure. Everyone forgets it had the first female protag animated because the adaptation was dog water.

The six Gundam: Twilight AXIS anime shorts, with a total runtime of 26 minutes, doesn't quite qualify as a "main series." |

Chris from 0080? 0080 had 3 lead characters (Al, Bernie and Christina) but the story itself was largely about Al. |

0080 is an OVA. I think that's why they were very specific about the description:
No one else qualifies as protagonist for a "main Gundam television anime series" |

Gundam Aerial looks like the original RX-78 Gundam and Gundam Barbatos had a child together. My only baseline for the series so far is the hope that it will be magnitudes better than AGE which was the last time they went for a younger audience.

Heh Aerial does sound like Ariel.

Similarity to the RX-78 is to be expected — the main character’s mobile suit nearly always gets its colours and a relatively conservative design that serves as the base for the aesthetics of the Gundams in any given series. |

Female main character, maybe. But "female hero"? Sayla Mass, Emma Sheen, Haman Khan (yeah, I know), Elpeo Ple (Elpi Pru), Roux Louka… and that's just UC TV series. In any case, we will see. |
