I visited a Bandai Cross store in Ikebukuro recently; there was pretty much no GQuuuuuuX stuff for sale. This shit is as dead as AGE was right after it finished despite the initial movie being popular.

And there was this guy who was telling me in previous threads that the people who hated Gcucks were "non Gundam fans" and that it was the most successful Gundam series in recent history when I pointed out that everyone stopped giving a shit about it a week after it finished airing.

>>287145368

Why is Strike Freedom so far below? Isn't the Mighty Strike just the Strike Freedom but with a super special backpack and a katana?

Was F91 even popular enough of a movie to justify this? I never got the impression it was
Also, I love how in the other languages, some of the gag Gundams from G-Gundam made it in

>>287151720
Mighty Strike Freedom is the newest and most powerful, and the OG Freedom is the first which leaves the SF as the middle child. F91 the Mobile Suit is actually decently popular even if the film didn't do all that well back in the day, it was in the top 10 for that big NHK Gundam poll as well.

The fact of the matter is that even with recency bias, only 1 MS from Gqux got in the top 20, it only charted in 1 region, and most likely it's purely due to it being piloted by Char

https://automaton-media.com/en/news/bandai-namco-makes-major-revision-to-mobile-suit-gundam-ips-yearly-revenue-forecast-following-unprecedented-growth/
>Bandai Namco recently announced its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2026, including a breakdown of revenue by IP. Among them, the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise saw unprecedented growth, with total revenue in the past six months (around $826 million) nearly reaching 2024’s full-year total ($997 million), as reported by Otaku Soken. This placed Gundam far ahead of the company’s other flagship IPs like Dragon Ball and One Piece.
>Of note, Bandai Namco has significantly revised its annual sales forecast for the Gundam franchise to account for higher-than-expected performance. The company now anticipates annual revenue to reach approximately $1.5 billion, up by over 40% from the original forecast.
> Bandai Namco attributes the growth to the strong performance of high-end toys such as Gunpla and collectible figures, the positive reception of the new Mobile Suit Gundam GquuuuuuX anime (produced by Evangelion’s Studio Khara), and the Gundam Next Future Pavilion exhibited at Osaka Expo 2025. The company says the “synergy” created by these projects is what drove revenue from related products and services.

fuck it i'll break it down for you
gquacks has 4 different bd types broken down in to bd/dvd/discless editions. Discless are the cheapest and highest profit margin because there is no disc in the box-it's just the packaging. keep in the mind the movie version does not have discless versions. the chart posted is just for bd 1 out of 3 and totaling all bd/dvd/discless versions together. if you are buying bds you are most likely going to be buying the full set of 3 for the special bonus. if you are super autistic you're buying the full set of 3 at multiple stores for the bonuses.
The movie version would count for a different ranking and it's out next month. I see more people wanting that version (including myself) because a new side story novel was written as the bonus for it. if you want to say 'flop' then at least wait for all versions to compare.
also bd rankings haven't been relevant in years

You’re just making up shit, real fans loved it and have propelled it to the success that Bandai has acknowledged. Japanese reactions have been even more extremely positive because gundam is modern mythology that has touched generations there so moments like the Beyond the Time cliffhanger were even more impactful with those who say CCA in theaters when it came out.

The only ones who dislike Gqux are reactionary western tourists who just started watching anime in 2020 and believed the memes about the media catering to neonazis manchildren instead of Japanese children and otaku.

I went in blind as to what the project was even supposed so I started grinning from ear to ear when the OYW segment started up with all the old music and new Char memes.

The movie was popular and well received. The TV series flopped bigly because he was barely present in it.

>>287166971
Correct, you’re a shitposting tourist who doesn’t know anything about otaku subculture. “Nostalgia bait” is something western reactionaries complain about, meanwhile otaku engage in database consumption that hinges on recycling common elements, including branding, infinitely. Gundam is a religion, if you aren’t a believer who falls into rapture seeing Anno’s Char memes on the big screen, you don’t belong here.
Go back to /v/ if you want to be a contrarian who lies to make up narratives about popular things being flops and ranting against the industry.

Again, anime isn’t the hobby for you if you are triggered by seeing references to classic anime. That’s foundational to the medium and subculture with genres like mecha having long-standing traditions regarding animation references and franchises older than you are with more entries, including modern reboots, than you have friends.

You’re a tourist from /v/ who doesn’t even watch anime and everything you say is pure bullshit. Real fans loved it and it’s was a larger success than anyone even expected, as Bandai has noted numerous times as the awards roll in.

The only people who dislike Gqux are reactionary western tourists who jumped on the anime bandwagon after 2020, that’s why every criticism is just the same whining they do about western media even though all those complaints go directly against otaku subculture that heartily embraced shameless consumerism generations ago.

>>287167529

All the evidence you need concerning performance can be ascertained from merchandise. Bandai may be retarded, but they don't abandon merchandise for a series that performs well and is also selling a lot of plastic toy robots.

See how you have to compare them directly to maintain this lie that Gqux itself is a flop?
Why do you tourists do this disaster myth-making anyway? It’s not like your schizo whining ever matters to these creators and the industry since their actual fans give them the real feedback. It really is just to make toxic drama out of nothing to make it harder for fans to discuss something you apparently don’t even like yet spend years shitposting about.

>This is a six month collab
I see, but that's a pretty horrible thing to try to use as an example. How long do Pokemon collabs last as a comparison? As far as I can tell, not very long. Yet it is the best performing series in existence. For bandai look at model kit/physical merchandise sales/trends and pay attention to what bandai is pushing. Pic related, had to endure a decade of this cunt. Now we're back to the Nu Gundam, Seed, and Hathaway's flash, my guess is because the new series didn't do as great as they actually wanted.

People who reviewbomb things that haven’t even come out aren’t fans, those are deranged haters who don’t have an actual opinion on the product

Would not be surprised if you were one of those psychos who obsessively reviewbombs brands you hate lol

It really is just that, this disaster myth-making that /v/ tourists do is the most batshit form of reviewbomb, shouting anonymously into the void without even leaving behind a “review” any longer than they can continue shitposting the same cherry picked images and bullshit talking points. That’s where you can really feel the mental illness because it’s raw derangement pushing them to continue posting daily for years for fear of their shitty tantrum disappearing and being forgotten instantly.

>>287168373
What makes you think they're deranged haters who don't have actual criticism when you haven't even seen their reviews?

>>287168573

Nah he changed didn't you see Victory?

>>287168804
No, it follows Anno’s philosophy of appealing directly to Japanese fans, thus the emphasis on connections with classic series that have been iconic for generations (the project was made as part of the 1985 anniversary, which suspiciously matches the change from the original plan for the setting to be a generation after the OYW to being set in 0085). Similarly, the aesthetics of the colony are directly reflecting modern Japan right down to pop music soundtrack.
It’s arguably one of the most Japan-targeted Gundams ever made that plays with the very sentiments of the franchise being a cultural presence for longer than most watchers have been alive, who might have older family members whose ears would perk up hearing Beyond the Time coming off the TV.

Keep pulling out bullshit like saying the 20th ranked show on a shitposting site is a flop while it gets awards and confirmations of success from Bandai. If you keep this delusional shitposting up for another year or two, you can definitely defeat reality!

>>287170167
A bunch of novelists with no background knowledge of anime & manga aren't tourists and it matters a lot when they give GQuuuuuuX an award apparently.

>>287170195
As opposed to random Japanese shitposters? Yeah, industry insiders obviously know better. That’s why they are panelists for awards rather than nobodies squawking online like you. Have fun shitposting your tantrums daily for years to come without changing anything because you’re just a liar trying to spin a success into a flop while every official source just heaps praise on it.

I'm looking forward to the GquuuuuuX sequel and for Tsurumaki to get lots of work following the success of this project.

>>287170434
I’m hopeful, but I think it’s unlikely for more Gqux to get made just because of how nightmarish it seems to coordinate between Khara and Bandai as two of the most legally battle scarred IP warriors. I assume it was a one time collab that can never happen again.
However, that same line of thinking makes me lean toward a sequel movie being more likely than series, a one and done job that could replicate the box office success the pre-release had.

>>287173514
No? There's a reason why Char's mecha is there while Machu's is not.

Why are people so pressed about Gquux and GWitch as if they're Bandai shareholders themselves? It's not the schizo /u/ shitposting right?

>>287173268
CCA is better than the novel, at least when it comes to Char's characterization.

>>287173591
Because a lot gundam fans like the mature war story side of gundam and not the yurifag pandering and highschool setting of gwitch or rebellious teenage girls fighting over a boy in gqux.

>>287173591
Both are the most recent flops

>>287174155
I have faith a Gundam Wing remake is in the works which should save gundam from continuing to go downhill

>>287174226
Why would rehashing a bad series save the franchise?

>>287174283
It isn't bad though, just dated. A proper remake of it would be a guaranteed success.

>>287174226
Gundam Wing is exactly like Gqux though, the only difference is that it goes entirely OCdonutsteels for its rehash of the OYW-Zeta-CCA storyline. It’s literally about teenage freedom fighters rebelling and ends with an Axis drop scenario after the masked revenge man sheds his mask and becomes a figurehead for the rogue colonists.

Never going to happen, it's easier for banrise to milk it through merch sales like they've been doing for years.

Reminder that Bandai is now trying to take down battletech's now rising popularity in japan by literlaly copying the damn board game, with the same hex bases and recent ilkhan era rules

They are really scared of tatsunoko and CGL teaming up to resurrect macross and pair with btech

>>287178246
Kinda true for like the next 2 decades of Gundam after Zeta (except for Turn A) but ever since 00 with the Exia, I would say there's been a lot more experimental designs.

>>287145368
>Turn A higher than F91
What the fuck.

>>287173591
salesfagging has been a tired old method on here to put down the anime people don't like.

>>287178488
A successful Gundam board game will hurt Games Workshop harder since 40k is a multimedia IP like Gundam. Both of them sell plastic crack.

Battletech can't even compete as a multimedia IP. It's just a niche with a videogame that comes out once in a blue moon supported by hopes and dreams like MW5 Mercs+Clans+DLC.

>>287178488
Gundam has been on like a decade long streak of breaking franchise revenue records, I don't think they're really afraid of anything they just want fa/tg/uy money. Also Sunrise is doing the next Macross anime and Bandai sells Macross plamo.

>>287145368
I had a buddy who hated Turn A Gundam, like irrationally so, he HATED that thing with a passion. I wish I could get his reaction seeing it in the top 10.

>>287178608
I'm just happy both made the top 10.

>>287174226
Wing is not getting anything animated.

>>287178734
I'm happy too, but Gundamfags told me that Turn A had always been the worst Gundam design. (I like it, by the way)

>>287178676
The thing is that they literally copied battletech for this.
And in a moment where the ip is literally taking former gwfags into their side after gw fumbling with the tabletop so bad that the only people keeping the damn thing alive are GW lying to the investors and plastic crack tumblrite addicts who met 40k thanks to that retard alfabusa

it really makes you wonder if there are macross revival plans behind the scenes now that all of the lawsuits are gone, HG is gone, Robotech is fucking dead, and they can now do whatever the fuck they want again and with CGL on their goodterms.

Again, the only thing in japan that can really face off gundam the way the ip is now, is a revived and renewed OG Macross+idolshit included

>>287145368
How the fuck is Unicorn 20th?

>>287178778

>>287178825
Sunrise will make the next Macross show. They announced this a few years ago, although there has been no news since then.

I guess Macross Delta being added to SRW goes alongside this push too (since Sunrise has been fully absorbed into Bandai and is just a brand nowadays).

>>287166704
Aerialbros...

>>287178778
I didn't like the Turn A design at first, but it grew on me a lot as the show went on. I love my moustache boy

>>287145368
It could have been anime of the decade and I’d skip it just for the retarded name

The fundamental problem with Gqx is that it's a show that wants to appeal to the modern youth and get them into Gundam, but it's made by OG Gundam boomer otakus who eventually indulge in their fantasy of working on Gundam.

This is why the mecha genre struggles so much. Because of "people" like you. It's already hard enough to convince people to watch a show about giant robots, but then they find out who does watch this garbage and rightfully nope the fuck out. Retards, all of you.
