| Why'd you open a discussion without watching the whole episode? Odd. It was fun, but it seems relatively average. I don't understand Reiji being a Newtype/Wizard. He teleports. His character confuses me in general. |
| lol Ramba (or is it Ranba?) Ral as the judge. I really like Reiji, but what/who is he exactly? Also I see Exia it makes me hope for Allelujah's gunpla to make an appearance. Suzuki's voice sounded a bit like 1stGen!Desil from AGE...is it the same person? |

| By the way - great episode: that's quite more than I expected... ;) AlabastreAizo said: I don't understand Reiji being a Newtype/Wizard. He teleports. His character confuses me in general. Well, he's kinda mysterious... ;) and from what I've seen, also fun to watch at times :D |

Yes I am I think the last episode comes out in Spring 2014 so I'm holding off until then. |

| Aww snap that was a better start than I thought. Some parts are cheesy but over all it's good. Iori is okay, Shitty Gyan brat is a brat, Reiji is random, AWWWW SNAP Ranba Ral, and Iori's mom is sexy hot. The game really looks fun. Would like to play that with my Astraea Type F and a couple of models I'm planning to buy and build. im gonna leave this quote here “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis |

| This is good. |
 |
| well, as a gundam fan i kinda enjoyed this, even if cant be copared to any gundam series, still its a good watch , im going to enjoy this one =D |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| another gundam kids show. not what im looking for even a gundam fan.. |
| As a huge Gundam fan, this is too much of a kids show. Not watching. |
| Dat milf The models/mecha action looks good, that Reiji guy kinda reminds me of Kaworu but a bit more brash. Hoping for more China with Mikasa's voice <3 |

| It was enjoyable! It seems it's aimed at a younger audience but here I am, liking it a lot and feeling nostalgic. I certainly laughed when Reiji called the security guard an old man and the guy said he was only 25. Kids these days, smh. Anyways, I like how they got this whole hologram thing going on with the special effects of the battle. The models getting beat up certainly make the weight of defeat a lot heavier. I was ready to see Sazaki go cry to his mom after losing haha. I like Sei but i hope that he eventually learns how to fight his own battles. I don't know how to feel about Reiji yet, he's too mysterious. |
| This is kinda like Yugi-oh. But too childish for my standard, yes I like the fights and the gundams, but the characters are just way too plain. Btw love the ending/opening by Back-On. VioLink said: Dat milf ^ |

| better then i thought it was gonna be, still dont know if ill continue to watch this. |
 |
| I don't know why but i have a feeling that Reiji could either be human or a spirit |
 |
| man it felt good to see reiji just destroy that sazaki prick..... i could do without the product commercials at the beginning and end of the episode. Overall I hope this doesn't turn into a clearly half-assed anime like Beyblade or B-damon. |
| LOL, so after the Level5-written childish, horribly-directed-action-scenes Gundam Age, we get this? What is SUNRISE doing? Gonna check it out later/tonight. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Dat OST. Battle START Whoa, that was better than I had thought. The gundam reminds me of the Freedom but I like the style of the series so far. The OST was pretty decent and I like most of the characters so far. Sei's father seems to be a pro and Reiji seems to be have decent skills himself. Character designs are okay I guess, reminds me a little of AGE. Overall, much better episode than I had originally thought. I'm going to keep my hopes up. |

Xeroix1990 said: I don't know why but i have a feeling that Reiji could either be human or a spirit I'd also think he's a spirit, but he doesn't probably fit in that category as everyone can see him, so I'd think he could be a mix of both (I guess that once we know his background story, everything will become clear) |
| Not as bad as I thought it would be really. Kinda feels like a Gundam fanfiction that got animated though lol. |
 |
| i'm pist he made the gundam wing look like a piece of shit and i know that its one of my top three right after the FREEDOM |
| Like robots? Then watch getter robot :D |

| Sei: Mr. Ral, I heard that you used to participate in Gunpla battles. Ral: I sure did. I still carry my Gunpla around with me, too. Sei: Awesome! Can I see it? Ral: Sure thing! Sei: Huh? It just looks like a regular Zaku to me. . . Ral: This is no ordinary Zaku, my friend! |
| 13:48 what's he? did he drop down from the sky? lol 16:13 lol, paafekuto taimingu Laughable. 5/10 for this ep. Well, at least the fighting scenes were better than the horrible Gundam Age's. |

koudez said: i think it's less that their insecure and more to do with that this show may be dumbed down or have a shallow/no plot BECAUSE it's a kids show. theres nothing wrong watching a kids show. and how it has no plot? from what i see and read, 2 boys are teaming up for the Gunpla Battle World Championship. koudez said: Overall I hope this doesn't turn into a clearly half-assed anime like Beyblade or B-damon. once again http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Plamo-Kyoshiro "The same concept was used with Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G." published in 1982, decades before beyblade and all that BS. |
| It's also worth mentioning that this show is being written by the same guy who wrote Gundam 00 and s-Cry-ed, so I think it'll probably turn it alright, despite the fact that it's a kids' show meant to sell Gundam models. |

Gundam was forever a kids show. Since when it was catered on the Seinen demographic? Unicorn was only one who is close of being a Seinen gundam show. Victory and Zeta, despite being dark as helll are still kids shows. AsherFischell said: despite the fact that it's a kids' show meant to sell Gundam models. The reason why there are new gundam shows even today is to sell models and yes that includes gundam shows like Zeta, Victory, Wing and 00. Part of the reason why the gundam franchise has been a successful franchise to begin with is because of the toy models. The truth is Gundam has, and always will be, a toy commercial. |

skudoops said: Let's be real though, despite being targeted towards kids initially UC Gundam hasn't been that way for a long time. G Gundam, Gundam 00, Gundam Wing etc were all attempts to get the teeange/kid audience back into gundam. They know their fanbase has been pretty old for a while and have been catering to that with UC gundam for a long time now, even with Zeta and Victory. The first gundam, 0079 was one of the earliest shonen along with Hokuto no Ken, Ashita no Joe, Voltes V, Daimos and Captain Harlock. I think we all know that the reason why Gundam was revolutionary is because it managed to depict a pretty realistic war in the mecha genre and the revolutionized the entire genre, heck not only the mecha genre but anime itself. Tomino was catering it to kids during that time and it just happens that it was able to attract an older audience. To me, the best kinds of kids shows is not only something that kids would enjoy. As far as i'm concern Unicorn was the only gundam that is being catered for adults or for the ones that grew up watching the Universal Century gundams. skudoops said: [ Also I agree that the shows are used to sell models and be extremely entertaining, but the reality is the shows are very successful even by themselves. I certainly agree. The shows itself was very successful but honestly we can't deny that AU gundams such as Wing, Seed and 00 were more successful in the west compared to the UC Gundams. Which is pretty sad to be honest and that is why there are only handful of people watching Unicorn. |

| I've always liked gunpla, yet I've never bought any before considering the amount of work you have to put in it to make it look amazing. But it seems like they may make it easier to build and customize gunplas now; if they are, that will actually give me the proper incentive to buy them. The episode was great. I especially like the ost. And did anyone else feel like Ral was supposed to be a reference to Ramba Ral form the first series? Lmao XD I hope we get a lot more of these references in this anime. (There has to be someone with a mask) Oh and I died of laughter when Ral said Reiji was a New Type. |
| This is actually better than Gundam Age. |

wakka9ca said: This is actually better than Gundam Age. This almost brings a tear to my eye...because it's true. |
| How many cours will this have 1 or 2? Or will it be also 49~50 episodes like other Gundam series? |

| not having seen AGE, SEED or Double Zeta, I'm not minding that this is a kids show. I'm really interested. It kind of reminds me of Yugioh |
