The number of episodes is dwindling, and the stories are getting sillier.Plus, hardly anyone cares about Gundam itself anymore; cute girls and sexual content are taking up more and more of the show.It’s gotten to the point where you could remove Gundam from the story entirely, and the story would still go on.Has Gundam finally become obsolete?
>>288436507Gqucks is just shit, go watch the actual UC
>>288436507UC Gundam is always shit when not made by Tomino. The Evangelion guys are hacks who've consistently made garbage for their whole careers. It is disingenuous to pretend GQuuuuuuX represents a downward trend for the franchise. No matter how you cut it, IBO and G-Witch were far less silly than the very first AU Gundam. Nobody ever "cared about the Gundam itself", the series was always focused on character drama and cute girls (pictured). You could replace mobile suits with airplanes, power armor, skateboards, or anything else and the story would still go on.
>>288436507Can you just go back to /m/ you autistic closeted homosexual
>>288436549>UCThe problem is that the entire Gundam franchise is starting to become a nostalgic product.The vast majority of Gundam fans are middle-aged people over 30.Young people aren’t interested and couldn’t care less. The vast, complex universe also makes it difficult for newcomers to get into.The whole franchise seems to have started to show its age quite noticeably.In the end, apart from cute girls and sexual content, Gundam has become meaningless.
>>288436507GWitch bombed in the primetime slot so Sunrise asked for an one cour late-night show. What nobody expected is that GQuuuuuux would become a mainstream hit
>>288436800>nobody expected is that GQuuuuuux would become a mainstream hitIf you were to remove the Gundam elements and keep only the girls and the romance,GQuuuuuux would become a much better school romance anime.The Gundam aspect is actually the part of the series that nobody cares about the most.
>>288436901A school romance anime where the girls have no personality, who the fuck wants that
Gundam has quite literally never been good. Even the best series are 7/10 anime.
>>288436636Gundam is straightest franchise ever.
>>288436901no one gives a single shit about school romance, who the fuck even wants that. thankfully, Sunrise is respectful of the fans' time and tries to appeal to both the new audience and the old audience which is why star wars is bombing and gundam isn't.
>>288436917>A school romance anime where the girls have no personality, who the fuck wants thatWomen. Read shoujo
GQuuuuuuX was a critical and commerical succes. It filtered burgers hard.
>>288436943I have read shoujo. The girls are always have mental illnesses which cause them to behave in an exciting, drama producing manner. And you will never find a character like Shuji in any of them.Pic related here's a famous example of exactly what I'm talking about
>>288436800>GWitch bombed in the primetime slot>gave no sources
>>288436943Nobody gives a single shit about shoujo and that's why it's a flopping genre. All the money is in chink kusoge now. It's all for (You) Master Love where the character (male or female) only loves (You). Or yaoi/yuri pandering. That's all anyone cares about or is willing to spend money on.
>>288436987SpyxFamily made higher ratings than GWitch despite airing on late night. You can check ANN tv ratings charts. GWitch only appeared in the top ten of anime for the first two episodes
>>288436987>>288437037ratings don't matter. it's only how big they can sell the gunpla kits, the streaming money, the gacha money and the merch. gundam is a toy commercial first and foremost, most of the customers won't even watch the anime. remember when they shit out episodes and episodes of build or build fighters or whatever that was literally just a toy commercial with no pretensions?
Because, like Who, Trek, Wars and many other franchises past or near 50 years of age, you start running out of ideas.
>>288436917>who the fuck wants thatMale audiences who love cute girls.Nobody cares about Gundam
>>288437072>ratings don't matter.Say that to the sponsors. Primetime isn't like sunday mornings or late night. The former are rented slots by the toy companies or committees. Primetime depend on viewership. If nobody is watching and the only attraction is the toys sale, there's no point on airing on primetime when they could air a J-drama or a variety show
>>288436507I'd say Bandai's attempts are releasing mecha that isn't Gundam cuts its audience. Despite quality lessening. Let's say that they released something like Amaim or Valvrave, but stuck the Gundam title on it, they'd have received higher viewership just on the Gundam name alone.
>>288437099Yeah we want cute girls not a seape & retarded tomato
>>288437098Not necessarily; the Warhammer 40,000 franchise is becoming ever more popular.There are more and more good games, and they’re planning to make a film.The problem with Gundam is that the entire series is produced at an extremely slow pace.What’s more, the quality of the stories is getting worse and worse.As a result, apart from old-timers who are nostalgic for the series, nobody cares about Gundam anymore.
>>288437208Cool, go back to twitter and/or /tv/
no one cares about mecha in general. mecha is a shit genre and it's badly outdated.gundam used to be some commie director's anti-war project (so it had at least some vision and messaging) but soon turned into a toy commercial.
>>288436507Model kits are the selling point and despite the newer shows being horribly written and rushed messes people still buy the kits. As long as that happens banrise will continue making new gundam series to continue selling those kits.
>>288437114Bandaid doesn't HAVE sponsors. It's a conglomerate of business interests that involve toys and shit like that. They do basically everything from publish games like Expedition 33 to produce toys. Anime isn't their primary business. It's like the pokemon anime, it exists to remind you of the new toys that they can sell. They vary the audience around to sell toys to different demographics, but they don't give a shit about the anime beyond its existence as a toy commercial. They won't remake shit like 0079 or code geass or tiger and bunny or anything despite the fact that it's basically the most successful thing ever. Because to them, it was just a toy commercial from the thousands of successful toy commercials that they've made. GFWM is actually a successful anime, but it doesn't matter because they have shittons of successful animes and it's still nothing compared to all the other successful shit that they made.If they actually CARED AT ALL about viewership, why not remake Geass or 0079 or do more Cross Ange or Tiger and Bunny or anything else rather than making something new?The real money is in all the premium kits. https://hypebeast.com/2021/4/sunrise-u-works-240000-usd-gundam-gold-gunpla-kits China loves insane premium gaudy shit like this and will just keep buying it. They probably don't even watch any of the anime. And all the premium TAMASHII NATIONS kits also sell like crazy. And the whales will keep whaling in the gundam gacha despite the fact that at least like 4 of those gundam gachas have already eos'd.
>>288437114capitalism doesn't matter
>>288436507They need to remake G Gundam to attract new audience.
>>288436955Its hilarious that the schizo keeps posting this image when right at the bottom it said that GWitch Volume 1 sold 5293 units in 2025 alone.For a "bombed" entry, it's quite funny that the three year old GWitch sold nearly as many discs as the newer entry that debut that same year. But the mental diarrhea schizos post here has no relation to reality.
>>288437269Pokemon is consistenly in the top ten of anime tv ratings
>>288437321From what year are you? Disc sales are irrelevant since streaming became a thing. Also only otakus still buy discs and GQuuuuux is mostly popular with normies, especially women
>>288437328Pokemon sells based off of the toys, the gacha and the games. The anime is just the toy commercial that is the cost of advertising.
>>288437344The point is that the anime is succesful on its own. GWitch wasn't
>>288437382They don't care about the anime at all. When you walk into a Tamashi Nations store or a Gundam Base, it's just balls to the walls kits. The characters are just there to advertise the suits and might be shown on the wall, but they don't sell it at all. There's basically no anime merch anywhere to be seen just some faces to sell the actual kits and then just balls to the walls kits. Even GundamInfo makes all the anime free on youtube because it's just an advertisement.
>"GQuuuuuuX was a critical and commerical success", posts 2025 disc sales as evidence >point out that his own data that GWitch's performance 3 years after airing was nearly as good as the so-called "critical and commerical success" in its debut year>"Disc sales are irrelevant"Pathetic.
Disc sales are totally irrelevant. Look how much money the gacha makes every single month despite the fact that every few years a new gundam gacha eoses.
>>288436507>and the stories are getting sillier.Why does Gundam ever take itself seriously when it's just a glorified advertisement for toys/gunpla? Are there people who actually take its hamfisted attempts at sociopolitical messaging seriously?
>>288436507Machu is pure sexo
>>288436917>where the guy has no personalityFixed. And there's no shortage of those in romcom!>>288436975I definitely enjoyed that about Nyaan.
>>288437298>remakeNo, I’d like to see them make a Gundam anime centred on AI.In this anime, Gundam would be the real heroine.Gundam’s AI would be designed as a cute, gentle girl.The protagonist would fall in love with his Gundam—a romance between a human pilot and a giant robot.That way, the audience would focus more on Gundam itself, whilst also tapping into the AI trend that’s been so popular in recent years.It would be a bit like a Gundam version of Titanfall.
>>288437480The old school creators being literal communists while the otaku generation were mostly right-wingers is the biggest evidence that kids don't care about the plot. They only see pretty colors
>>288437542>a Gundam anime centred on AIWing already exists and told the truth about AI over 30 years ago. It is incompatible with human nature, the Earth and all that is good and holy, and should be completely destroyed for humanity to heal.
>>288437298G Gundam doesn't need a remake. That said, I would be down for another mecha tournament series, much like G Gundam and Build Fighters.
>>288437436>8000 discs according to the shit you keep posting>More expensive disc set costs 20,000 yen>$1,000,000 earned if you round up, assume every BD sold was the limited edition, and there are zero production costs>Meanwhile Gundam as a franchise makes around 4 billion dollars a yearIt is irrelevant. Anime makes their money from merchandise, pachinko, and other shit, not home media releases. You'll be told this every time you post BDs numbers but will ignore it because you're a dumbass autistic oldtype.
>AAAAAA MY GENDUM>btw I started watching gundam in 2023 and my favorite is stardust memories
>>288436507trying to appeal to zoomers, women and modern audience with female protagonist and shoehorned LGBT themes. GQuacks is extra shit because it tried to also appeal to boomers with DUDE! REMEMBER THIS THING FROM 0079? moments like the 2nd episode (or 3rd?) being exclusively about Char.IBO was the last real gundam.
>>288437116Sunrise and Bandai have a strangehold on all the good mech shows. I remember when Code Geass was super popular and people were like, where is the Code Geass continuation??? And then Tiger and Bunny and Cross Ange happened and people were like, where is the continuation??? And then Valvrape happened and people were like, where is the continuation????And that was how I learnt that Bandaid doesn't care how good your anime does, you get at the most one continuation and some movies and that's it. This keeps things fresh, but fans won't get the continuation that they want. They only care about the toys.
>i-its i-irrelevant!The most pathetic cope.
>>288436507They made the most money they've ever made last year, dumbass
>>288437612IBO is the only Gundam with onscreen male penis inside of male anus homosexuality btw
>>288436800>GQuuuuuux would become a mainstream hittheir gunpla flopped hard with all of them getting discounted at least 50% cuz nobody wants them.
>>288436507>The number of episodes is dwindlingThis is the real problem.
>>288437612IBO was one of the most homosexual of all of them. Only ZZ and Hathaway aren't homosexual.
>>288437631Kek you actually believe this.
>>288437637ZZ was the first Gundam to feature cross dressing. And the protag speaks in a girlish manner while also showing zero interest in all the hot babes throwing themselves at him.Kamille's Gundam is objectively the straightest and least female of them all
>>288436917Doesn't get it.>>288437512Gets it.
>>288437650This is the most extreme example.OG price: 2530 Yen. now 1100 Yen.All Gquuuux kits are super cheap everywhere in Japan. basically clearance sale.
>>288437686Nobody wants them cause both gendumbs are ugly overdesigned mess.
>>288437726yea that's my point, dumbass. gcucks flopped cuz only few bought the gunpla.
>>288437686>>288437726>people actually think that the GQUACKS kits are overdesignedTop lel
>>288436901>The Gundam aspect is actually the part of the series that nobody cares about the most.repeating doesn't make trueif the original MSG was "Jet Fighter Gundam" without an iconic mecha design it wouldn't have gotten to Zeta.
>>288437631The gundam designs are hideous, to be sure.>>288437686Fuck, Gfred is the one I've actually considered buying sometimes. Send me one of those!>Nyaan's machine>vaguely Jehuty-looking>nice color scheme>super cool ear-funnels, even though you can't reproduce the effect manually
>>288437808This looks cool though.Well, at least better than Xi or Penelope.
the only good GCucks mech is Red Gundam
>>288437686Yes this is what happens when a new show has a shit ton of stock, it happens literally every single time a new bandai show comes out.>All Gquuuux kits are super cheap everywhere in JapanThis is factually wrong.
>>288437808
>>288436935I like school romance mixed with robot fighting
>>288437808Yes? Alyzeus also flopped, too weird, too expensive (double the Xi) and it's already being discounted to 11k yen from 13.2k yen.by the end of the year after the Hathaway 2 hype disappeared, it'd be below 10k that's for sure, near Xi's price.
>>288437871Nah that thing is ugly tooJust buy a real rx-78 and paint it red if you must
>>288437580>It is incompatible with human nature, the Earth and all that is good and holy, and should be completely destroyed for humanity to heal.They should release a more modern version of the story.A love story between a human and a Gundam
>>28843799100
>>288437877>EvolGod i was a sweet inocent newfag when the MC's love interest pulled a Purpleton. The catalog was such a shitshow.
>>288437991You mean like the love between Prospera, Gundam Aerial and Suletta in G-Witch
>Gquuuux>just read it gKEK wwwwwIs japanese over?
having autism must be so fun you can spam KEK over and over and over again and keep laughing at your own stupid posts
>>288438110I don't remember Mikono shooting Amata, to be fair.
>>288437298>They need to remake G GundamFuck no, they should do a sequel to G Gundam. I sick of these fucking retarded ass devoid remakes.
>>288438130>Gundam AerialThat isn't true AI; it's just the digitization of a human personality.I want real AI to be installed in the Gundam's system.
>>288436800Its because everyone wants to spank Machu and are waiting for an official scene on day.
>>288437480retard
>>288437631You'd be hard pressed to find people that genuinely care about GQuacks anymore. There's nothing to care about; no content, no lore, no new merch, no spin-offs or sequel rumors, nothing.On twitter, the nips still bothering to talk about it mainly talk about how they got gunpla and special edition BDs at steep discounts since the show dropped off like a rock after the finale. There are a few artists still using the characters, but at this point they've morphed into their own fan AUs that have little to do with the plot Klara made.Even the shitposters here can only regurgitate the same shitposts time and time again, since there's nothing else to talk about. All they can do is latch onto GWitch to try and stir up a flamewar. Curious, considering they keep saying how Gquuuuuux saved Gundam or whatever.
>>288437886>newshit is expensive and loses price overtimeno way!
>>288437512Nyaan is my favorite girl failure.
>>288438240I can't imagine a G Gundam sequel without funny country stereotype Gundams and I can't imagine that being percieved as well in the current year.
>>288438240We got that shitty light novel or whatever which was terrible. Leave the series alone, it doesn't need to be run into the ground like UC.
>>288437991>A love story between a human and a Gundam>>288438262>I want real AI"AI" aka LLMs can't love, think, or do anything besides poorly regurgitate whatever it was trained on. There is no artificial intelligence in existence.
>>288437542>Gundam anime centred on AIThat's literally Devil Gundam though
>>288438386She does her best. Her best isn't very good.>>288438360>You'd be hard pressed to find people that genuinely care about GQuacks anymore.You're not looking very hard.
>>288438451>"AI" aka LLMsYou fucking idiot.
>>288438632At least she tries.
>>288437208warhammer's popularity has nothing to do with the quality of its writing. the problem with gundam is that it's supposed to be a show for kids, but modern kids only want to watch brainrot slop, so all they can do now is cash in on uc boomers.
