Because it's a original work but also a pathetic baby alternate retelling of the original series meant to appeal to retarded manchild who just want to see their favorite characters showing up and clapping, regardless of how insulting the work is to the original series, there is no practical difference from this series to stuff like Dragon Ball Daima or Higurashi Gou. It's selling more because the mecha designs are mostly just alternate versions of already popular gunpla rather than originals.

GQuuuuuuX had strong initial interest because normalfags are programmed to praise anything involving Hideaki Anno. GQuuuuuuX would ultimately be the worst reviewed Gundam TV series since X by the time the final episode aired.

Nostalgia, build up from recent popularity boosts, and Studio Khara's name/reputation. I'm sure there was a lot of disappointment for it as well though since it didn't really hit the nostalgia well, wasn't much like IBO and WfM, and retards got tricked into thinking Khara ment Anno when he had little to do with it. It was alright at least though, even if I was mostly there for nostalgic reasons I knew going in that it wouldn't really do much of the nostalgia stuff well amd that it wouldn't be a fun as Gihren's Greed Zeon victory timelines.

IBO was entertaining. G witch was cringe despite the great production values. You'd think with Ukraine and Gaza they'd at least study human misery just by watching the (right) news. Tomino put it well, these new writers just don't have what it takes to write. I'm not planning on watching this show. Anno is a fucking hack and Tomino is probably very disappointed. Anno seemed to get it back when they did the interview about Char's counterattack. But since he has become a straight up joke.

Pokemon designer made a busty tomboy with meme faces and a flat kuudere, as well as a Kaworu clone. This led to an explosion of fanart (mostly porn).

All the suits were mods of UC classic suits, save a few,

Endless Char wank. Japan loves Char more than anything. He's the Charizard of Gundam.

That said it looks like the merch has completely died, whereas GWitch is still getting Bandai Premium kits. When the show ends up as shallow as it was, with no manga spinoff material or anything to build off of, you kind of just are left with the original run of merch, which is why Bandai is now heavily promoting Wing's anniversary instead.

Ideally you want your mecha protagonist to be a man with deep affection for his machine and autism. An autistic girl piloting her sister is a logical extension of that idea, if the writers didn't pussy out Calibarn would have Mio inside and the series would end with symbolic fight between mother riding her daughter to fight her other daughter riding her wife.
But that would rise too many eyebrows so we got what we got.

The same shitposts were made on reddit too, right down to using the same buzzwords like pacing or the oddly specific β€œroom to breathe.” What we see with how the tourists are trying to change the otaku subculture’s standards here is just a microcosm of the reactionary fundamentalist siege on civilization. Anti-intellectualism is the common mark identifying such efforts to impose censorship regimes within cultural production and reception.

I really wonder if that stuff is a change from the VA reactions to the script saying that they didn’t get it. There’s no other reason to have Challia mention an Endymion unit unless all the other circumstance and symbolism wasn’t enough to make it clear that the Gqux was resonating with Amuro’s will. Like if the script just says β€œinsert a cut of a goose,” maybe it’s not obvious. I think the goose is even more amusingly blunt than the technobabble. It’s not really batshit at all, it’s very direct and forward, zero misdirection and lots of dialogue that tells the audience how to interpret things. People are just lazy and don’t like what the series has to say about reality so it’s easy enough to disconnect that neuron.

That’s how yuri works, the less that’s shown the more kino it is. A blank sheet of paper is the most yuri thing in the world, that’s why you use scissors to cut paper. Rock paper scissors is slightly less yuri because it depicts boobs, a pure body, and open legs. It’s a very yuri game though, as you can imagine from throwing scissors versus scissors or docking with rocks. Just like boobs, every one’s fist is a different size and shape. Very yuri.
