The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk I

The colonies became debris

Welp.

[Kratos]

-Moon colony is called Towasanga and Venus colony is called Venus Globe

Does it specify whether Towasanga is on the moon's far surface, or in space on the far side? What about Venus Globe - is it in orbit alongside the Space Lake, or was the surface and/or atmosphere terraformed?

Towasanga. Typical strange Tomino "pull name out of hat" name. The same can be said for Venus Globe.

Yeah, I can't fathom why he'd call a human habitat near/on Venus the "Venus Globe". So random of him!

The colonies became debris

I wonder if that's just over time, as the result of some major event, or both. This is, after all, 1014 years after a new calendar starts; whether the majority were simply abandoned over time for Towasanga or outright destroyed, they'd likely be little more than debris by that point. Saying they "failed" is similarly vague, though it's definitely possible that the banning of nuclear energy is connected.

I can't say I'd be upset if that's all it said, though - it's nice to have some things left for us to speculate on until the show itself confirms them.

[Kyuzo Aoi]

We could have easily misread Towasanga as the Ninja Turtles' battlecry. But then, it's the far future by then.

Spoiler

BTW, have you seen the G-Arcane? It looks like more in line with a "traditional" Gundam.

There are two new tweets from Reco's official twitter. Someone go translate them.

[gunform1010]

Looks like an expansion of the character section.

Gunform, please DO NOT triple post, particularly in a span of just 10 minutes. We have an EDIT button. Use it.

I honestly keep forgetting. -_-

Also, giving orders like "someone go translate them" is a really good way to NOT motivate people to do free translation work for you...

Very much this. Those of us who aren't fluent in Japanese are very fortunate those who are take the time to keep us in the loop. If that isn't good enough for you, learn the language yourself (something I for one need to stop putting off).

Plogize. Growing a bit impatient with news even though the three-episode compilation is a few weeks away. I actually need to learn Japanese anyway to look for Ideon material.

I think they put character info from the brochures finally onto the website. That's my best guess as to the new character stuff.

Latest tweet says that Aida's family name is changed to "Surgan", though both remain her name...

Sure enough her profile has the new name.

Aida Surgan? Interesting name change.

[Hi_Nu_Gundam]

I'm hoping they'll explain why all the MS are using solid shields instead of beam-shields/I-Fields (lack of resources?)

[latenlazy]

The G-self does use a beam shield. I suspect though that solid shields might be sufficient if materials have advanced enough. It's also possible that energy management has become important if they don't have nuclear power

[HellCat]

Don't beam shields also require a sub programme that monitors how close it is in proximity to areas of the suit it's protecting? That sounds quite advanced and something I could easily falling under lost knowledge in this period.

[latenlazy]

I don't think they require it, but I can't imagine the technology being that difficult if you can generate a beam shield in the first place. It seems like a basic on off switch at worse.

[Kratos]

Where are we seeing the G-Self with a beam shield? It's had a solid one in everything I've seen. Was this in the written specs?

No, they're asking why beam shields, being present in UC, have suddenly disappeared.

Emphasis mine. Probably should have quoted that originally.
