So the leaked synopsis was right. I have to admit, I was hoping it wasn't true at first, because that's the most fan fictiony premise for a Gundam show we've gotten and it sounds like dumb wish fulfillment.

Buuuut, considering this is also knowing it leads into something with out there designs and has a very interesting staff, it's clearly not so straight forward. High expectations, though, so I hope it is as good as described here and stays good.

I guessed the twist of the show correctly when I compared it to For the Barrel in the anime´s announcement thread! A 2000-2002 Newtype Magazine reboot of Gundam 1979: https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/For_the_Barrel

The Hideaki Anno involvement suddenly explains itself too. Khara you had my curiosity but now you have my attention.

This caught me by surprise. Char piloting the Gundam sounds insane (though does the Hyaku Shiki count?) over Amuro. For a second, I thought the reason to this is becasue of Toru Furuya's controversial life that led to the removal of some of his characters.

I wanted to see how this would play out as a TV series. I actually like that this will be a what-if story in the Universal Century.

Char has piloted a version of the RX-78 before in Gihren's Greed, it has been a basic part of the "What if Zeon won the war" scenario for pretty much as long as people have imagined it.

The reveal that this is UC has dropped my interest to zero. Why are you like this, Sunrise.

Hyaku Shiki is a failed Gundam prototype. I don´t think it counts.

Toru Furuya´s abusive past was revealed last May. There isn´t enough time for this project to respond to any of that besides a recast. Metaphor: ReFantazio is one such case. Very last minute too due to how early games get their acting done. Furuya won´t get to voice the role that made him a star again in any capacity but Amuro is a character is here to stay. He is one of the most important sci-fi or animanga characters of all time. There would be no Evagelion without him. Co-writer Anno would be the very last person to sunset Amuro. Especially during his friend Tomino´s lifetime.

Tomino has already made two what if. In the Zeta Gundam trilogy he completely retconned the ending. In an ova, he also have Quess a more lighthearted arc retcons Hathaway. Now it's KKhara's time to retcon uc
