The water witch goes to Gundam for the first time.
I think you’ll occasionally see comments on social media saying things like, “This isn’t a Gundam,” but it’s like a rite of passage, and it’s been around since Zeta 35 years ago, so don’t worry about it. G, W, ∀, SEED, AGE, and Iron Blood are all mentioned. don’t worry about it. #Gundam— Re-san (@RETSUMAL) October 8, 2022
According to an interview with NT magazine, “I heard from a young girl who came to visit a company that Gundam was too difficult to get into, and I thought it was dangerous.” Ignore the repetition and enjoy. https://t.co/Wvif9h03fq

“Gundam isn’t meant for us” Shocked by the real words of a teenager ─ “Mobile Suit Gundam Mercury Witch” Producer Takuya Okamoto Interview Part 1 – GIGAZINE
The latest TV animation of the Gundam series “Mobile Suit Gundam Witch of Mercury” for the first time in 7 years
It is a new TV series, the first female protagonist in a TV series, and the world view set in a school.
We asked Takuya Okamoto, the producer, about the staff from the start of the project.
“I myself began to be involved in the Witch of Mercury around the beginning of spring 2020, but as the next Gundam,
Talks about the project started around 2018.I want to create works for the next generation.
Starting from theIn 2020, “Gundam with a female protagonistI want you to do it.” ”
――Did you think from the beginning that the target volume zone was the younger age group?
“Yes. Until now, Gundam works set in places other than the Universal Century are basically aimed at teens.
I had a strong impression that this work was aimed at that, so I thought that this work was also aimed at that.
There was also an order. ”
“At first it was a content to start from a fairly heavy placeThat’s right. But just around that time
Teenagers who came for a social studies field tripI had time to hear from you.then
“Gundam is not for us”
I was told, “I won’t watch it if it has Gundam in the title.”……. ”
“It really struck me. Gundam is of course the Universal Century series, but it’s not the Universal Century series.
As for the work, 20 years have passed since “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED”. While it is history,
kind ofIt is like a wall and a weight, making it difficult for the younger generation to enter.I think it has become
Until now, creators have taken various approaches to make it easier for the younger generation to enter.
However, I thought it would be better to start the work from their familiar environment,
It feels like there was talk of setting the stage in a school.」 「Ease of entry rather than making it too heavy from the entrance
I was also conscious of it.In addition, at the time of planning, war between major powers was a reality for the younger generation.
I felt that it was a subject that was difficult to come up with. A little more familiar to the young people of today,
“that? I thought about where people would think, “This is our story.”

When I was in elementary school, I saw Gundam for the first time at AGE and thought it was funny, but the adults on the internet were raving about it…
What do people who complain every time want to see after all?and so on
The road that even Kamen Rider has traveled.
I personally have my own likes and dislikes, but “This is not ○○”
A curse on himself.
So it’s not that difficult to talk about
After all, the production team is considering not only the existing fan base but also acquiring new viewers.
Acquiring new fans is essential for the Gundam brand to continue.
I want you to do your best.
Seriously, if it’s your first time seeing the Gundam series Witch of Mercury, please ignore it and watch the main part.
I can still understand if it’s “Universal Century”, but I don’t think anyone who lumps “Gundam” together and says that kind of thing probably won’t watch it no matter what they make, and I won’t watch it this time either.
Even middle-aged men enjoy content aimed at young people, so you can watch what you want without worrying about who it’s for.
I think the 1st was a break from the rebroadcast.
Interesting story, but
I’m “against” this attitude.
At the point when I’m looking for a reason not to watch it, I’m pretty sure that kid hasn’t even seen Suima.
It’s a little disturbing to read.
No matter what people say or how they abuse me, I’m not interested in Gundams that are just quirky.
I also know that Another Gundam is destined to be eccentric.
Long-time fans want to see an orthodox Gundam that goes head-to-head, that’s all.
Well, it’s not like the Gundam area is safe, and I don’t feel like I can get in easily…
Well, if you approach Gundam works easily, you’ll be insulted (?) for no reason.
From the first generation, it’s not aimed at teens, is it?
Such words and deeds that seem to be understood by a specific generation will only be superficial and superficial in the end.
“I was told by my teens, ‘Gundam is not meant for us.’ ”
This one word says it all.
I guess I’m right in thinking that Ganota doesn’t fit…
Eh, does Gundam sound like a curse word…?
Well, for teenagers, it’s just “Gundam” and it’s not a work for them.
You’d think so…even I have a strong image of an old man…
After all, if young new people don’t see it, the content will continue to decline.
Old Ganota may get angry, but I guess the correct answer is to make it for young children…
