The main characters of Mikazuki and Orga, play much like the older/younger brother style of friendship. There is a nice piece added to this version of Gundam. But, so far they are taking these well-worn stereotypes and handling them well enough that I want to see what happens next. In fact, this even borrows on the Original Mobile Suit Gundam, with a Frow Brow character who is enamored with the main star, and a trio of bad guys in mobile suits sent to cause trouble.
Most likely there will be a showcase fight every few episodes, and the heroes will be in possession of the ONE mecha that will be able to stand up to the bad forces, whatever they throw at it. Big lumbering mecha, a hinging war based on colony vs the mother planet's rule. Now this will be loaded with what makes a mecha title a mecha title. Even a welcome return to the link of the original Gundam with Unicorn left me sour with it's overly lengthy wait times between episodes. Gundam Age was too glossy and cumbersome, Gundam G Recongusta caused more people to scratch their heads at, what the literal fuck is going on, and Gundam Build Fighters was fun and kind of cute, but felt like it was aimed at 10-13 year olds or 30-55+ modelers more than anything. Let's face it Gundam has been stumbling about a bit lately. In fact, in the case of the last title mentioned, a desert wasteland is a perfect backdrop. I must admit, I have been jonsing for a mecha title in the vein of more realistic mecha titles of yore, like Gundam 08th, Votoms, or maybe even Fang of the Sun Dougram. Oh, and give the title some sort of kick ass name with metal and some body fluid as the subtex. Give me a Mecha with a giant ass spear, and make it a battered Gundam in the hands of slightly older children soldiers.
