Yeah but the original didn't feel like a kids show of the time.
Meanwhile Age felt like I was watching Bayblade 5 or something.
I feel like Gundam and Gunpla is so deep into Japanese culture now after 40 years its basically their culture. Just like Tokusatsu shows I don't think you need to apeal to kids with a wacky new Gundam.

And I mean I'm preaching to the choir here they obviously understood this and made exactly what I would have made originally Gundam Build Divers.

Its exactly what it needs to be. Kids already growing up by cultural osmosis know about Gundam it's not a new concept. You can't walk into a larger store that doesn't have them. So instead of making something new and trying to get kids to like it just USE what you have and show it to them. Make them care about that Exia or 00 on the shelf they've seen a 100 times when they went to Aeon, Yodobashi, Bic Camera, Yamada Denki, K'S Denki.
Just about every kids in Kanto Area has been to Odaiba or Yokohama to see the life size Gundam. Same goes for anyone in Kyushu going to Fukuoka.
