I think times have changed now that we can see female protagonists appearing in Gundam TV series as a matter of course.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx38

What, it’s a woman?

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx95

>>1

💥🤛

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>5

(Flowing out plasma)

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

To attract the lighter audience that doesn’t watch much anime, female characters are more appealing.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>2

Just because it’s Gundam, fans will at least watch it, so it’s better to incorporate other audiences.

At this point, there is absolutely no advantage to making the protagonist a man.

If anything, focusing on yuri would attract a demographic that is much less overlapping with what has come before, and that was what “Suzume” did.

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>2

Isn’t the protagonist’s lesbian attribute an unnecessary element for appealing to the light audience?

121: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>104

Since there are no people on Mercury itself from Phase 2…

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

I see quite a few people who think that’s good, so I don’t think it’s something that should be dismissed as unnecessary.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It is not easy for robot anime to survive.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

Even though it’s an anime about the Han, why is it a girl?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Machu said that it was decided with encouragement, thinking it would be okay since the protagonist is a woman after Mercury.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>7

Well, it seems they have softened their personality.

The project had already started.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

>>13

Is that mild…?

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>26

Before being diluted, it probably looked like Camille.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

If you’re going to make a male protagonist, it would be commercially beneficial to have a handsome guy that clearly appeals to female otaku, like in W or 00.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It seems that quite a few new entries have actually come in on Mercury.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Right now, there is also a demand for beauty products.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine to do strong military and sci-fi elements of Gundam in a side story.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

The history of Another can genuinely be said to cater to women, so it’s no surprise if a male version comes out.

The top 4 female Gundam fan rates are simply the 4 works of Cross Rays.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>12

At the first point…

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Characters with designs that are heavily geared towards women, like w or x, feel more in tune with the times.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

I started with the generation that began from 00, but I’m not quite used to female protagonists.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx22

Gundam isn’t that serious of a series, is it?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mercury may have many male fans for different reasons than 0083.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re piloting a robot in space, whether the protagonist is male or female, it’s still Gundam, right?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fanbase is different, but in terms of fan service aimed at men, this image might be a return to the original.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Next is the other world, so let’s do Musha Gundam!

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

Understood…

I will go with Naido Gundam as the protagonist…

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

Isn’t it true evil?

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Are there any fans of Mercury?

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx25

>>23

I’m here… there’s one person here!

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

>>28

Oh! I won’t leave you alone!

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

>>32

Oh dear… Is there someone who has forgotten?

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

What’s wrong with the protagonist being a woman!!

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

In major comic magazines, the treatment of female heroines has become increasingly haphazard over the years, so I wonder if Gundam is going in the opposite direction.

Now, idol anime and harem social games are the mainstream for men.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m not interested in Gundam, but I am interested in Amate’s breasts.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that Gundam’s boy-meets-girl type stories will likely decrease more and more in the future.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

>>31

Isn’t Zick Ax quite a boy meets girl situation?

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>31

Isn’t that what Zieg Ax is?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>37

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it would be good to do a classical, traditional style in a spin-off like Urusei Yatsura that only core fans watch.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re going to argue about whether it’s a man or a woman, I’d rather you seriously just do SD.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>38

Got it! World Heroes!!

I really want to see the General Fortress in action.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

Gundam is at the forefront of the times.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t really remember much else after UC.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the sweaty, gritty imagery of Iron-Blooded Orphans the most.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s a layer lured by Mercury, then Yamazaki would definitely be interested in a bamboo character design, and I think they did it well.

And pour the red liquid into the brain of the newbie who came to the theater for Machu.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I think it’s okay not to have a male protagonist anymore.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The declining birthrate makes it tough when only targeting boys.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it would be better to be more socially conscious.

But I think around 00 is probably the limit.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>45

What is a socially conscious Gundam…?

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>47

Pocket War…?

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>47

We have no choice but to bring out Eiichiro Funakoshi.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

The continuation of Another itself has become quite uncertain as it can no longer maintain four seasons.

I wonder if the official direction will be to change methods and products in various ways moving forward.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>48

If it’s possible to consistently create new works in a two-cour format, that would likely make it easier to create value as a business.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

These days, 4-cour is just tedious, so 2-cour is fine.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>50

In the interview with the witch of Mercury, it was mentioned that young people might not watch it for long.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Personally, I don’t expect a high level of awareness from works where giant robots fight each other on two legs, so I hope it’s a piece that can be enjoyed with a more empty-minded approach.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

Other robot anime can be like that, I guess, aside from Gundam.

The thematic consistency of Gundam is somewhat strong, so if you’re going to discard that, then it doesn’t have to be Gundam.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Simply has charm.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Criminal Gundam Pure Hearted Faction

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>54

Even Gundam has human emotions! 💢

The enemy has their own circumstances too💢

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

They said that making four consecutive cours was tough for those producing it from the time of Iron-Blooded.

That’s why it was split or divided.

There may not be any more four-season Gundam series.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Even if a man isn’t the protagonist, attention is still focused on the green uncle and Exabe-kun.

I think it would be great to enjoy various things overall.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m satisfied as long as a good woman and a cool old man are active.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gundam has always pursued fun as entertainment.

The second half of “Iron Blood” is a bit off.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

People who come from Mercury might get angry if Machu and the long-haired woman don’t stick together.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>62

Thread 4 was extremely popular, so it probably varies from person to person.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

Weak meow…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

I would like it to be 4 seasons, even if it’s in parts, and for the story to be properly made.

It’s tough when there is a lack of explanation or when things are rushed at the end.

Well, it would probably be better to make quick anime to sell toys and finish them up…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

What hardcore Gundam fans should truly be concerned about is that it might already be too late once works featuring high school girls engaging in Gundam battles start to emerge.

Something with a nuance like Girls und Panzer.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>65

Alright! Build Fighters Try!

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

The military color will become faint.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

Since real warfare has turned into a drone shootout, it’s gotten more intense in a way, hasn’t it?

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

The revenge requiem streaming on Netflix also has a female protagonist.

I’m a multiparous woman, but…

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

The first half of the movie was interesting, but the second half wasn’t that great, but since the character in the image was cute, it was fine.

The female protagonist might be like this.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Another had a basic line of being a handsome squad of Gundam, so there was no hard approach from the beginning.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

Rather, if you’re going to do it, I can’t help but think that it should be made thoroughly foolishly.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

Gundam X…

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>77

At the G stage, they’re not a handsome squad anyway.

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I want a boy-meets-girl story that makes me think “This is it!”

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I feel a sense of accomplishment with Shuumachu, you know.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Most of the layers that entered Mercury aren’t really that into Gundam because they want a school setting, so I understand.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

What is a school-themed parody in a school setting?

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>82

It’s bad that it completely skipped the key parts of the school-themed events, even though it’s set in a school.

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>84

Even though it’s Gundam, they skipped the battle too.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

The upcoming serialization of Mercury.

108: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>79

It seems like almost no one remembers MS.

I only look at fan creations of characters…

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>108

People who can draw mobile suits have a special skill among those who can draw!!!

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tsurumaki’s style is not at all about creating couples like that…

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>80

It doesn’t seem like there will be any lilies either.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>83

Un

It seems more like it would be a vivid and messy interaction between women.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Here’s a pinch of hard SF…

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maybe since they will show a heavy Gundam, it probably won’t be a style that cares about things like coupling.

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>89

It seems like the director is that kind of person.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

It’s not just the female leads; old men complain every time a new Gundam series comes out.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

A Gundam that only features beautiful girls is one thing…!

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>92

I haven’t done it, so I’m not very familiar, but wasn’t there something like that in the game’s Kishiria Corps?

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It might be impossible, but…

I want to see a sharp protagonist like Camille again!

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>94

It’s sharp or tight, how should I put it…

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>94

Even after watching episode 1 again, it’s scary.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Throw away the naive thought that only men are complaining.

At the time of the SEED movie release, there were some who got angry because Aslan appeared with Kagari and Meirin in the movie ticket, and there was also an aunt at the shareholder meeting saying to make Slemyo get married.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might turn out to be one of those stories where every time a character seems like they might get close to someone, they end up dying in battle.

If you respect the first, even more so.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Zieg Ax feels more like Aim for the Top! than Gundam.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

Camille’s pent-up frustrations exploded all at once…

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

The biggest thing is being able to attract people who aren’t interested in Gundam.

Original fans will watch regardless of what happens.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s why I’m going to pit Fow and Rosamia against Camille like this.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s create an anime where JS picks up a stray Haro and transforms into Gundam.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Having two works in a row with a female protagonist while inviting new players and setting them in the First Space-Time really made sense to me.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

It’s the third work.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was G Gundam positively received since its broadcast?

I was a kid and there was no internet, so I had no idea about the evaluation of otaku.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wanted more of the school everyday life and the Mercury side stories in the 4th season.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the world, there are also unusual things like the yuri eroticism of Anaheim female employees...

In the world, there are also unusual things like the yuri eroticism of Anaheim female employees…

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>112

I kind of like that this depicts the circumstances under which GP04 was transferred to Zeon, and it’s quite a serious story.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

From what I can see in the movie, it seems like there are few deaths.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>113

It’s meaningful because they kill them after portraying the characters attractively.

I’m not dead yet because there are still parts I can show, but once the broadcast starts and individual merits become visible, I’ll start dying off one by one.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>116

That in itself is… exciting!

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>113

Mercury was also said to be like that at first!!

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>117

It’s actually quite few since it’s just number 4 and Sophinorea.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s have more sports bra girls.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m wondering how many of the three main characters seem to die and go beyond the sparkle.

Is that red one okay to count as dead?

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even in Dam A, not everyone can properly depict MS battles.

I guess a robot that can draw is a more rare character.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>120

I always think that there are too few people for the scale of the content, and there are also way too many bad staff who leak information.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

This script is all about this crazy character that’s being portrayed.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>126

In the past, when my hometown became a battlefield, escaping by operating a Petit Mobile suggested that I have wild, natural abilities and there’s a possibility I could be a potential Newtype in the wild. However, the fact that I abandoned my family and my situation as a refugee feel like mental shackles that are suppressing me…

128: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The fact that the most popular Gundam lately is SEED, which is over 20 years old, gives the impression that casual fans are not actively watching Gundam…

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

It depends on how cute we can make Nyaan.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

The cute one is probably Komori-kun.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

There have been female protagonists in manga for a long time, like in Gundam.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

The genre of giant combat robots is definitely aimed at children, yet it’s strange that there isn’t an image of children watching the Gundam series.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mercury isn’t that dead, right…?

Maybe it’s just because of the previous work that I think that way.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>135

Maybe it’s because the Earth’s mob side has a lot of miserable visuals…

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even Zeek is in the Universal Century, so it’s kind of like Origin, right?

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>136

Since Amuro is there and Char has also survived, you know.

Isn’t it more like a sun ball?

In the end, it’s similar in that infighting starts to occur on the winning side as well.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

I always think that robots are excellent as a format that can disguise differences in physical abilities.

It’s not unreasonable to say that even a girl or a child can defeat a grown man if they have good reflexes.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>138

While there are firearms that are similar, when living girls shoot each other, the physical presence is lacking and it creates a rather grim atmosphere.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>162

So you give a big gun to small children, huh?

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is there any reason the story has to be an origin?

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not Gundam if it’s not ◯◯.

Isn’t one of the good things about Gundam that it didn’t get stuck on something like that?

150: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>140

The achievements of G Gundam are endlessly huge.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>140

I wish you would let go of the political drama, even just once.

It’s like an element that hasn’t been completely discarded yet.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the protagonist is riding something with horns, it’s a Gundam, right?

145: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I don’t really care, but is Hathaway’s Flash out yet?

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>145

This

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want you to properly take on the role of the main character on the right.

It’s too sad that the character on the left is the protagonist but has little screen time because other characters are taking the spotlight.

153: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>147

The revival after the shocking truth was revealed was so flimsy that it was pathetic…

161: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>147

I want to make it clear to anyone who says it was taken by Guell that if Guell didn’t exist, they would just use another character for screen time anyway.

148: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I do like something with a prestigious background like UC, but boy-meets-girl stories are still exciting.

Gundam doesn’t have much of a boy meets girl vibe.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>148

In the first place, that’s not how Tomino’s works are.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>148

I thought there are constraints that cannot be imposed on a soft approach.

Fumina-senpai was there.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

The female protagonist’s weakness is that the staff isn’t used to it, so another male character ends up acting like the protagonist.

This is an experience where one can only gain experience by depicting a woman as the protagonist.

173: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>151

It’s about the size of Mercury, I guess.

Strictly speaking, Chris from Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team isn’t the protagonist, but he’s never wavered, and even though Selene has less screen time than Sven, she acted more like a protagonist than Sven.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

Whether it’s yuri or a heterosexual relationship, the element of romance itself feels like noise.

It’s like those dramas and movies that include romantic elements just to appeal to women, thinking that if they don’t, they won’t be accepted.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>152

From the perspective of female fans, things like MS and battles are considered noise.

I feel like the combat scenes are just a way to stretch the duration or serve as background.

180: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>169

Whether in love or in battle, it feels like that happens when the connections and necessity of the scenes are weak.

If you get accustomed to it well, it becomes something you can’t separate from…

194: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>169

Isn’t that the case with parts of the work that don’t interest either gender?

That female fan isn’t coming to see the mechs; she’s probably here to see the relationships between the characters.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s okay to make something like Gundam X, not just yuri.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

Actually, there are times when being too Gundam-like is disliked…

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

How about a Gundam work that skillfully incorporates stories about politicians and behind-the-scenes figures, similar to Shin Godzilla?

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>160

I want to see a Gundam that doesn’t focus on MS battles, but it’s fundamentally a promotional anime, making it too challenging…

168: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

As for Machu, at least it was a relief that Suletta is a girl.

If the protagonist were a man without any backbone, they would have been criticized to the point of being unwatchable.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>168

If you watch the original Gundam in the anime version.

176: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>168

At least watch it before you write about it.

181: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>168

It seems like you’ve never watched anime.

201: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>181

It was remote control the whole time, right?

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the story, when you bully a woman, in the end, pity comes first.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>170

It’s sad even for a man.

So we should make the protagonist a bundle of rebellion.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Amate because she has big breasts.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s been a bit difficult for both Suleta and Mikazuki on the side of making things… I wonder how Machu will turn out.

177: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The favorable aspect of the female protagonist is that even if the male protagonist were to do the same thing and be completely ostracized, she is forgiven because she is “a cute girl.”

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>156

From the first generation onwards, the romance element isn’t prominently featured in ZZ and such.

188: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>178

Z is probably quite frequently appearing.

I don’t know about the others.

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sister

182: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I didn’t find Sleta appealing because she was like a puppet except for the final moments, but I like Machu because she’s the type to jump out and take action.

191: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>182

Well… Slett is surprisingly pulling the surroundings from the beginning…

199: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>191

Volume 4 was quite focused on that theme.

It might be because Mom was withdrawn.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

Crying because the class isn’t going well was just too pathetic, no matter how much of a girl she is.

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>184

Many Gundam protagonists have weak and pitiful traits despite being male!

185: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s already at the point of the next preview where civil war is about to break out intensely!

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

What a pathetic guy!

187: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

There is an 08th Team that did Romeo and Juliet.

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it was rather late for Gundam to have a female protagonist appear.

I thought that robot anime is something that caters to otaku preferences, and that original anime with female protagonists would start to become big hits around that time.

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s ridiculous for the male protagonist to say something like “You’re right, just like Mom said!” with an exaggeratedly dimmed eye highlight.

192: Japan Otaku Reviews

Around Fou, it’s quite a boy meets girl situation.

It was over in an instant.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand.

The protagonist is saying not to cry in front of others.

197: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>193

Crying from having to redo work in class was just plain embarrassing.

195: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like it somehow worked out even without romantic elements in 00.

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a privilege of the female protagonist to be forgiven for crying because it’s cute.

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to get excited by looking at breasts and panties, but it feels like a long battle between guys, like in an erotic work…
