Synopsis:
300 years after the end of a great war between Earth and Mars called Yakusaisen (Calamity War), the Earth, losing the ruling authority during the war, structured a new world with a ruling system. A new war on Mars is starting while the Earth is in temporary peace.

The main character Mikazuki Augus, from Chryse Guard Security (CGS), was on a mission to protect Kudelia Aina Bernstein, who wants Chryse, Mars' city, to be independent from Earth's ruling. However, a group named Gjallarhorn started a rebellion, attacked CGS and Kudelia, and the adults in CGS decided to use the boys in the team as decoy to evacuate. Orga Itsuka, the leader of the boys, decided to use that as a chance to launch a coup d'état because the adults have been treating them badly for a long time. Mikazuki, with Orga's request to defeat Gjallarhorn, uses Gundam Barbatos, a major mobile suit that CGS used during Yakusaisen to fight.

Well then... a really shoujo staff working together with Sunrise to make what seems to be a rather dramatic and bleak new Gundam series. Approaching this one with cautious optimism, though more optimism than caution.

Not a fan of who seems to be the MC design. But overall looks promising.

As I watched the trailer, one thing just kept screaming in my mind, and that was that it felt like I wasn't watched so much a Gundam but an Armored Core.

Armored Core and Gundam. I am 110% okay with this, my body is all kinds of ready.

Nice. After that steaming pile of shit Reconguista in G I need something to look forward to (other than more Origins OVAs).

This Gundam is a high drama story of a bunch of child soldier orphans who band together to find a place they can call home


08th MS Team reference?

Hardly. Similar setting maybe, but once you're past the age of 18, being parentless isn't really that big a deal anymore.

OP updated with new PV. Decided to cut out the key features part right now, let's leave that to either surprise or further research.

Was it just me or did everyone else wonder why every boy had no shirt on when in their gundam or other fighting unit?

My brother did as well. I just attributed it to no air conditioning inside the cockpits. (^:

The gundam design is really cool but I can't unsee those waist. It feels like a weak point that enemies can exploit.

Refreshing gundam series from the norm of op mobile suits the other series has. Also, giving me the chills when I watch much like 08 MS team did

Love it so far. hoping it keeps strong the whole way through.

No beam weapons so far.. only ballistic autocannons/machine guns(No fancy railguns however), and solid melee weapons.. Interesting.

Really liked ep23 and where the personalities of Tekkadan are going. Season 2 please.

Watching Carta get smacked down was great. It made her character really shine. Hoping she isn't dead but considering how there are only two episodes left I think it's safe to say she won't be coming back, especially since Ein is back. That and the whole love triange attributes puts fuel on Gaelio's rage after her death.

It looks like there will be a split between the vengeance-driven Tekkadan and the Turbines, including some of Tekkadan's members. Hopefully none of the cute girls die.

Ep 24.
Spoiler:
Death flags for everyone!

I really hope the silver haired chick and the Red pilot survive.

It is interesting though of the conflict of sacrificing themselves,I side with Orga myself.

Really looking forward to S2. I haven't enjoyed a gundam show this much since Turn A.
