not quite. as good as 00 was , both seed and seed destiny still have a popular fanbase in the otaku community. Unfortunately there is a big problem. With Bandai Ent now non existent & six feet under like ADV Films and considering it was the main MO for any gundam series, the chances of this series ever getting to the US is also non existent. Sure it might be possible if its popular BUT so far , not one company have licensed any gundam titles at all after they gave up the ghost. not to mentioned that no one has licensed Gundam AGE or Gundam Build Fighters, which isnt a good sign for the franchise in the US.Especially now that Unicorn is finished its run. So yea, while its good news over there, for the US gundam fanbase is another story which will unfortunately give the fansubs groups a lot of excuse cause lets face it. Bandai's demise has literally mean the end of anything gundam in the US. at least officially. |

Probably the Bandai marketing department caused the change. This was always intended to be a Gundam show by association only, in that the show would take place in the follow up to Universal Century. There's still signs that this isn't your typical Gundam fare, starting with the fact that the main mobile suit isn't called a Gundam.
Both previous Gundam series had huge presence in YouTube and official subtitled versions of each were actually available at the same time as the broadcast. BF was actually uploaded in HD also. Neither licensing nor fansubs are required for one to watch a Gundam show these days. |

Yep. Unless the show gives me good reason to do otherwise, I plan on watching this as if it were not really Gundam at all but a completely unrelated Tomino mecha show. And if they have gotten him to cut-and-paste this series into the UC Gundam timeline against his wishes, I wonder what he's getting in return...? More Byston Well OVAs on the way, perhaps?

I wouldn't go that far. As I said, this was always intended to be a follow up to UC, even way back in 2011 when the show was first announced. Tomino just didn't want this to be a traditional Gundam show or even be called Gundam in the title. |

While I dig the new Gundam design, the humans are really fugly. Still, the show looks interesting as a whole.

The Takuya Satō in the article is linked to the director and not the seiyuu. Should be this one. Also,
Spelling inconsistency. Just a heads up~ |

Gonna have to wait and see who's in charge of writing before getting hyped but thisis looking pretty decent so far. Love Kenichi Yoshida's designs, the mechs look cool and Yuugo Kanno getting more composing work is always awesome after his great work on Birdy, Psycho Pass and currently Jojos.

With the first trailer, we couldn't get a good look at the Gundam so I wasn't sure if liked it. But not we finally get a good angle on the head, and it's pretty cool, if a little funky. And for some reason, I love that little bit at 0:45 with the cut-out wedge of the pilot moving along with the mobile suit.
I'm really looking forward to this just from the looks of it. Yoshida's one of my favorite character designers, so I'm interested in anything he's involved in. He's also a pretty great animator (see: Eureka Seven ep 26), so it'd be awesome if gets to do some of that too. |

I'm taking the wait and see approach with this new series.
Its all about the story to me, only thing i was little concern about Mysterous mobile suite aka Gundam "choose" its new pilot. Which sounds bit corny to me. Maybe its because I like army story type shows like Votoms and older Gundam series. Not superheros in super mecha all the time. Gundam Wing had compelling story, though i wasn't into the near invincible Gundam mobile suits and their pilots. My first impression of looking at new suit is it bit too streamline, it looks like it has a "smile" on its face/plate. It will properly grow on me, but just having watch Gundam Unicorn, its going be hard act to follow. |

Keep in mind that Tomino stated himself that this series is not meant to be a hardcore mature series but something more accessible to kids.

You can make something that's accessible to children but still competently written.

I've heard the complete opposite actually. Keep in mind Tomino also marketed Zeta, Victory and Ideon for children too and look how those turned out. |
