Good god, there are a ton of characters. And at least 5 armed factions so far, one of which is (of course) fighting to make peace. To convince the world that fighting is wrong.
The first episode did NOT contain a Gundam-jack. That's just not right.
I'm just wondering which of the Gundam Meisters (lololoololol) will get stuck on the desert island with the Newtype chick. Just going by form, it'll beShinnSetsuna.
The Charchetype is also covered, only sans mask and mysterious tragic past. We've had a "Newtype Reaction" already. One of the Meisters has a Haro-D2 unit.
The 4 Gundams are 1) generic/sword, 2) sniper/buster, 3) jet plane/speed, & 4) overkill. The pilots are Shinn, some unholy offspring of Duo & Dearka, MPD Newtype boy, and Mr Crabby Pants who Hates Earth.
Episode 6 already has a new model kit.
So far, I'm not as attached to the characters as I could be, the plot is like a cross between UC/Seed (Newtypes via genetic engineering) and Wing (Gundam sentai, wacky pacifist idealists), and the overabundance of characters is overwhelming, though I think I'm starting to get a handle on them. The wikipedia article was helpful for the first episode. But it's a Gundam series: giant robots, outer space, vaguely dystopic yet optimistic while being realistic future, probable political machinations, and more double-crossing than you can keep track of. I'm in it for the giant robots, and I'm hoping the characters start to be compelling.
It's hard not to laugh, though, when they've got names like Lockon Stratos and Allelujah Haptism. They're probably code/fake/assumed names. I hope. (I know at least 2 of them are, from wiki.)
Considering the character archetypes I usually like, there's the blond Union guy & his buddy Billy the engineer and Lockon (I know...) It doesn't hurt that I identified at least 3 slash pairings in episode 1.
