You are not comparing UC who released several official and spin-off manga over the years with WFm who released just 1 manga related to their canon and no one is following it beside the author and other 3 people

It's clear that the management want to capitalize on the characters of this AU even if the MCs have really bland characterization, even less the rest of the cast.

The databook doesn't give much info on the characters or setting (not even character birthdays or anything of this kind), the novel is 1:1 to the manga except the saber self-insert and the Wolrd and Mechanics give away things that were not clear, but nothing groundbreaking. Probably the only interesting things were the confirmation of GUNDbits origin and Olcott.
You are the one seething at people being annoyed by Bandai poor treatment of their IP. If it was so popular, a sellout, why things related to the characters or mecha are hardly coming out?

Eri will be the 25 year old office lady who dotes on her younger sisters, while also shit-talking Miorine the whole time. She isn't revealed until the last episode as the mystery texter, and is dating a man who looks like Char.

The other 11 sisters are teased here and there, each with a different hairstyle. One batch of triplets, two batches of twins, and a batch of quintuplets. The triplets are bisexual, the two sets of twins are straight, and the quintuplets are lesbian.

Their father is never home except for birthdays because he needs to make enough money to support 13 daughters.

It's not "new" W&M are mook that get released for every Gundam/Mecha show, even Bravern got one months after the release, not years.
Prodros is PBandai release and went sold out several times, which mean that people who have money and care about kits/mecha are still there.

What are they going to do with best girl Ericht??
Are they going to make her a little kid or are they going to draw a adult body for her?
What kind of life would be a analog for her life in 'near future Japan'? Terminally online hikki netzine? So most of the time we just hear her voice through Suletta's phone and see the hot doll image on screen as her avatar?
>>
>>23013271
I get it but the premise is a prequel to the show, so how come Gwitch fags care so much about their setting and wants more of it but the suddenly they are no longer there when there is material.
They just have to be honest and say "we only care about the yuri", I don't think there is anything wrong being honest.
Clearly the spin-off is made to appeal to waifu/moefags, if they wanted to release fluff material imo they could have released an anthology comic like Kadokawa did with Lycoris Recoil (or Bravern, since we talk about a mecha show).

To be fair there's not much you can do with the setting when everything got solved with "it's magic I ain't explaining shit" and Shaddiq magically taking the blame for everything.
>>
>>23013389
Ikr the setting was also conceptually a mess. From the W&M mook is clear they did a patchwork with a bunch of ideas they liked and put them in the story but on a surface level, because they knew they wouldn't get developed.
Okouchi can say that he think that Shaddiq was Lelouch or that he was an interesting character, but all he wrote was a guy who let his own kind (earthian orphans like him) sacrifice and die in vain and put a spacian girl on a pedestal because reasons (she wasn't nice with him).
They can still work around the settings because anything before the show is good in my book.

>>23013688
Seed sell no matter what, see all the collaborations the IP has done since the movie announcement (sanrio, tower music, animate, round 1 etc) while GWitch had barely anything, and the fanbase is supposed to be made by young (female) people.
>>23013697
suletta, miorine, nika, chuchu, shaddiq, guel, elan

Can't say if new book talks about that, but as far as i remember from old interview the role of Peil as antagonist, was to steal and try to copy Gundam employing questionable means (human experiment etc)
Shaddiq role on the paper is fine because he was supposed to go against his father's will to destroy Gundam. He didn't give a fuck and wanted to use it against Spacians and to help his cause.
The point is that the writing doesn't do any justice, not making the viewers sympathetic.

Depends. Since it's handled by Bandai who also running One Piece TCG, that one is doing well, but One Piece is definitely more popular and mainstream than Gundam.

Still, that just made them kinda pointless outside of episodes 5-7.

Somewhat agree. Personally it's hard for me to believe he was ever meant to be Lelouch 2.0, even if Okouchi thinks that. I thought he was meant to be an unsympathetic schemer using unjust methods (terrorism, assasination, manipulation) due to being blinded by his just cause.
>I still remember a quite some people felt bad at his end ingbecause it's implied he will get a life sentence or some other shit
Which I can't understand, since he brought everything in on himself.

NTA but this is true though. Most of WfM threads I've seen are full of people wishing for more school hinjinks over the usual space drama with robots.
I won't watch it, but I can't blame Bandai for doing it.

Whether it flops or succeeds, it's mostly are going to be from the characters. Maybe this was meant as an experiment to see whether WfM fans actually cares about Gundam or just the characters alone.

Why are people suddenly pretending an AU spinoff is a big deal? Are they that starved for content?

This is not the first time Gundam has made stuff like this, and they are rarely much.
>>
>>23014416
It's usually just UC stuff, no? And, G-Witch fans problably ARE starved for content.
>>
>>23014442
Depends on what you mean, because this type of thing is not uncommon in the industry wide sense, some minor SoL spinoff. Even among Gundams, theres a lot that people never heard of or forgot. It is usually UC stuff, yes, but if you look hard enough you can find at least one or two for other AUs.

Most of the time, these things are forgettable.

It's not a big deal since it's not even published on Gundam Ace like all the Gundam spin-offs, but online on a web comic platform.
It's not just people here but even japanese are kind of puzzled by the choice because it's the first official comic that feature the main characters and it's a spin-off but without space, gundams or anything else. They could literally make the same manga in AD Stella but decided not to for some reason.
From the fans who kept saying that is the Gundam who sold best than any Gundam a cheap web comic it's kind of lame. At least IBO got a phone game.
Then I personally find stupid mentioning Char SOL manga (my favorite spin off) or Haman OL manga because before them there are tons of manga, spin-off or not, so publishing something silly doesn't feel like a waste of time (or money).

Vanadis Heart. They even released kits (PBandai only, i remember this kit being a top seller for a month and more https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2077015/) and a bunch of characters looks interesting but it's on a pause/hiatus atm because the writer is taking its time to do research (this what i remember from reading jp comments on it).

You are SPECIFICALLY what annoys me with a few Gwitch fans. They don’t give a damn about the universe or mobile suits, only about the main characters (often only Suletta/Miorine)
And I say that as someone who don’t dislike the main cast but I find it awful how these people don’t even care about the Ad Stella world and only want some shipping stuff or something. I won’t say VH is perfect at all but at least it’s trying some new things and expanding the world.
And based on the number of likes on Twitter it looks like this is a pretty big portion of the fanbase.
>>
>>23015086
it wasn't even trending. just 1k tweets about sulemio which is nothing.
if that was the actual paying fanbase shops wouldn't sell out last ichiban kuji for half a price after a week or the tickets for 100 yen.
number on twitter doesn't matter when it doesn't reflect in real life, if is popular why after all this time, post show ending, it didn't get any collaboration outside the bandai ones or tied to another gundam ip, like the seven-eleven with gundam freedom.
the only thing that sold really well were kits, not even the characters alone and only suletta alone is really strong.

Isn't their a new gumdam coming out. Why does it matter besides they ruined the universe from what I remember with the ending of the anime anyway.

Yes, next month. The Studio Khara's Gundam.
I wish they would talk more about it, but during the streaming there was just a little roundtable with the main trio talking.

Bandai already planned merch in advance

Tell me an ongoing commercial collab going on with GWitch characters, like the one that Seed with Round 1 or else.
>>23015503
The shoujo Gundam was lame promo (picrel feat okouchi), because even if the first 3-5 episodes kind of give out that vibe (i still remember japanese making cheeky comments about the show reminded them hana yori dango) the story doesn't deliver the mood or the shoujo feel, which is not just being about romance but characters' dynamics and introspection.
It was just a way to attract women but of course they left when they understood that was not the case.
>>
>>23015926
To be fair the new gundam has little no info aside some leaks and that last gundam stream, that wasn't even translated by the usual people who translate anything gundam.
>>23016341
A lot of weebs are stupidly dumb, they think the important part is merch when what really makes a characters memorable is being featured outside their own genre.
SEED is playing easy because people were waiting for years for it come back, but there are many other names that get featured in stuff like hotels, festival, food etc like Golden Kamuy or Detective Conan. OG Gundam had that silly car commercial with Char or McDonalds.

>>
>>23016654
NTA but they're villain and side character respectively, and they're not the POV of the original trilogy. There is such a thing as thematic sequel/prequel that doesn't need to include the exact same characters, though. However, it sure is easy for angry fuckers to decry "not muh sequel" for various reasons if they don't like the followup to something
>>
I think the better question is why was this necessary? The main show itself already has a school environment, so why can’t they just tell stories there? Hell, I think there was a missed opportunity to elaborate on characters like Elan, Shaddiq, and Guel. Maybe tell a flashback story to when Miorine was first inducted as the Holder’s bride, and even flesh out the rules of dueling.

Instead, we get an official school AU from an AU that’s already set in school. See the problem here?

The real problem is this isn't going far enough. What they need to do is turn all the male characters into girls and make a blue archive clone. If bandai can dump money on that fucking metaverse nonsense then they can develop a game that would actually make money. Lord knows Japan's gacha industry needs the win.

I knew someone would compare these two but you know very well the intention behind each is completely different.
>>
>>23016847
Most of the public who got into GWitch did it because of Suletta and Mio's relationship. Sure some got into gunpla and maybe into gundam as a whole because of it, but for the majority the gundam aspect wasn't important, or even that it's the bad part getting in the way for what's important. I see this spinoff as them acknowledging that public by cutting the mecha and just leaving the school shenanigans and, of course, probably putting in more yuri stuff.

No. Most of the public started to watch because it's a Gundam. Everyone older than 30 watched it because it's boomer shit, normal people forgot about it or never continued after a bunch of episodes while waifufags like you stick because you have to make your whole personality over fictional girls.

The ones who startes watching with episode one or even the prologue sure, but the ending of the first episode attracted other people who would've not be interested in it otherwise and that kept watching because of it.

I just don't know why the upcoming Gundam is basically WfM again. Same elements, same Gundam-fight-esque mechanics, female protagonist.
Like, most Gundam stories tend to be fairly different from installment to installment, but this is more-or-less the exact same thing.
>>
>>23019533
Gkeks apparently started production in like 2018 and was meant to come out sooner rather than later but got delayed because Khara was doing the Rebuild movies. Allegedly WFM entered production afterwards but came out first and every single similarity to Quuuux is just a coincidence which frankly I find a bit hard to believe.
>>
>>23019533
Khara's Gundam was in production since 2018 and halted the production around 2020/21 because the studio was working on his own project. WFM project started back in 2020 as was stated in the first interview during the announcement streaming.

Aside the MC being both girls with red hair, and having (so far) a young cast (which is not weird for gundam) the similitaries ends here.
About the fights, I think GQUX is more similar to illegal street fights than 1 vs 1 medieval-like duels.

I dunno, I always thought it was weird that Age ends up with a protagonist in a not-00 Quant that can do a not-trans am and keeps demanding everyone to understand each other.

No. It's the director who decided rework everything because wanted a school and corporate story to mix together. Which is why there were a lot of issues in the production and characters changed, like Guel from Schwarzette's pilot to grunt and so on.
Or like here, where Demi Barding concept was to be a "customized ms by earth dorm" but was probably scrapped up because they decided to make Nika sit in that room for half of cour 2.
>>
>>23019642
Do any of the Witch girls have figures?
>>
>>23019689
Yeah. It's not a super robot show so they have to stick with war or similar shit to design mecha and since it's not Patlabor, where the show focus on cops or adults daily life etc they always have to do something related to war, civil war or any conflict that would employ big ass mecha fighting.
>>
>>23019714
Suletta has a GGG figure that was sold on PBandai and afaik months ago was put on crane machines. The rest of release were Ichiban Kuji prizes, Bandai crane machines and Megahouse palm figures.

Aside the fact that finally there is written somewhere more available that Jeturk was supposed to be Heart (ハート). Schwarzette being called Gorgeous Mk-II is hilarious
>>
>>23019713
Yeah, the idea for a school/corporate story came from the director. But Bandai did want a lighter show, the staff just took it from there.
>>
>>23019714
Suletta and Miorine (as for Gunpla, Aerial and Calibarn sold well too). Their new ones are their jackets that's literally sold out on online in day 1.
>>
>>23020114
There is no statement from anyone that mention that, and if you can give source I won't believe you, especially since the prologue exist and was pretty edgy as introduction for the show.
Even if a lot of mature themes were just on the surface and not developed organically there are plenty of situation who are no light, even just in the first cour (vim's physical violence on his son, elan dying etc).
>>23019757
Incredible how in the mecha designer comments you can read a lot of "it was planned to do x or y" and things of course changed, really sad because some ideas were very cool.

If you can read the shitty MTL he was supposed to have a prominent role as Suletta's rival since Schwarzette was designed like that. The anti-hero bullshit is schizo talk.

>Gundam has always been "woke". The original villains, from which almost every other main villain faction is derived, are aristocratic space nazis. Blue-blooded goose-steppers.
