So I just watched the original Mobile Suit Gundam for the first time, seeing how GQuuuux keeps referring to it. And I was curious. I haven't watched Gundam since Wing, randomly picked up the new one and it reminded me of how I always wanted to catch up on the original...

One thing that is striking, is how the Newtypes seem to be almost paranormal. That's the mood I got from the original and GQuuuxx seems to be leaning more into that. Wing didn't really hammer on that point so much. It felt like Newtypes were just mutants with extra reflexes... that's how it was in the 90s/00s but now it appears they are going back to a more spiritual thing.

I like how GQuuxx seems to be given characters a second chance though, Mobile Suit Gundam was constantly introducing people and then killing them right the fuck off. I like this iteration of Chalia Bull.

I'm not for sure what the point of this post is other to say:
You need to watch the first Gundam show to even understand this one. (Which is fine by me).
