Reconquista has Eureka Seven written all over it art wise, which is no surprise given Kenichi Yoshida is doing character design. Will certainly be watching although I haven't touched any UC stuff yet :lol

Origin is a must though. Can't wait to see that.

Man the animation on Reconuqista is so inconsistent.

At some points it looks good but in others? Not so much. I'm hoping this is just the trailer because it does look…interesting.

Really? And here I thought you were as big a Gundamophile as myself :lol

You desperately need to watch Zeta. It's by far the best of any UC related material. Char's Counterattack is an excellent movie too. But being the nerd that I am, as OCD as I am too, I have to watch a Gundam universe in sequential order. So that means I'd generally start with the original series, then go 08th MS, 0080, 0083, Zeta, ZZ, CCA, F91, Victory, and finally Turn A (yes it totally counts). My brain only works in this way :lol

And I'm very sad to see the Eureka 7 shining through on Reconquista. I knew I recognized the art but damn it all, I just don't want it in my Gundam. If this makes sense to anyone it's a little too artistic for more sci-fi mecha shows like this. Eureka had this otherwordly mystery to it that more real robot shows like Gundam don't tend to.

Nope, I'm actually pretty new to the franchise :o The only things I've seen all the way through are G, Wing and Build Fighters. Everything else I have an appreciation of the designs for but just haven't had the time to go back and sit through. I REALLY want to watch all the UC stuff, but the sheer backlog of it is daunting.

Build Fighters (as well as DaiRiderRX talking to me about it all the time :p) has really reinvigorated my interest though so I'll probably start working through it all soon enough.

Gundam X is one of my favrioutes so I can easily say to watch that next.

Gundam X doesn't get enough love, but seeing all the attention it's been getting in both Build Fighters and model kits makes me pretty happy

Do it man! X is also awesome!

The original MSG series can be daunting and slow at times but even it was good. The compilation movies are also quite good. Once you hit the mids 0080's with Zeta the UC universe is excellent. Though Victory for it's portion of the timeline is not one of my favorites. But Turn A? Excellently weird. John can atest to it with me, after all he owns my old HK bootleg DVD's :p

I like how everyone here is naturally correcting Sunrise's spelling of "Reconquista." News sites are all spelling it wrong just like Sunrise. :lol

First thoughts:
Unicorn: As always, I'll watch it after it's all out.

The Origin: I can't say I'm that excited about it, but at least the trailer features mainly things not in the show.

Gundam Reconquista in G (aka G-Mouthful): I'm unsure of this. I'm not that big on UC or Yoshiyuki Tomino's direct work. I'll at least give it a try, especially if Sunrise simulcasts on Youtube again.


This. A thousand times this. Gundam X is awesome.

What d you mean?

*One goole search later*

They are spelling it as Reconguista, the heck!? :lolol

You'll all be happy to know Gundam X was the next series I planned to check out then :p

Huzah! I would say the show makes a lot of sense in UC context. But you haven't seen any UC yet :lol

You can think of it like a spiritual successor/alternative to the UC universe. AW never got any love until recently so it's great to see more people trying it out again.
