>why isn't the narrative centered around an overt war?
This was a deliberate decision to communicate a different kind of atmosphere from the classic UC saga, according to Tsurumaki. He questions how deeply a war story would resonate with the post-war generation. What kind of story is necessary for us? These are the questions Tsurumaki is asking. The slow-boiling tension, and the possibility of a deadly *future* war is supposed to be reflective of our current geopolitical situation.
>what is the deal with all the metaphysical stuff going on?
This is to a large extent a story about Newtypes, about whether or not they are real, and what that might mean. The subtle presence of hope and its admixture with doubt in a tenuous geopolitical situation, you can see how this was intended to resonate with modern audiences. Tsurumaki is trying to make the Newtype message intelligible for modern viewers. Yes, that includes you, Gundam fan born in the post-war era.
>why does Side 6 look like that? why is the technology so modern?
They deliberately modeled it after post-war, modern Japan. Tsurumaki said that this is not only symbolic but literal: ethnic Japanese immigration was significant. This is why the Japanese language sees so much use.
>why do the character designs look so different between the OYW and GQx characters?
To communicate the transition of generation. Tsurumaki originally wanted the protagonists to be born after the war, but for a variety of reasons he ended up settling on setting the show in 0085. While the impression may not be narratively as large now that these are ignorant children who don't know what it means to fight and die in war, the visual impression is still there. This all ties in with the modern Japanese setting of Side 6.
