Even the novel is still not finished yet, so yeah, the story is still not complete. It's funny coz usually we have this kind of problem for standard fantasy-battle-harem light-novel adaptations, not Gundam. At least GTA won't be a TV series, so there shouldn't be any rush. Each of the OVA/ONA episode will be made when there's enough material for it.

IIRC, Thunderbolt original source was not completed as well?

Yep. But Thunderbolt manga has larger arcs that can be easily divided in anime. GTA novel on the other hand......

Oh god. You said GTA and all of a sudden my brain went: "Grand Theft Gundam"!!

That pun/reference was unintentional, I swear . I mean, "TA" sounds awkward and "MSGTA" is a bit long and cumbersome for an acronym. So....."GTA" it is .

And Gundams are frequently stolen by naughty kids anyway, so.......yeah

I hope they decide to adapt Moon Crisis next, or take cues from it for this series. Although really, CCA and Unicorn give good enough resolution to the Zeon conflict as it is, so they might end up stretching it by this point already...

- Bandai should make an open world Gundam game wherein you play a kid and stealing mobile suits and selling them for parts is the hwole mechanic of the game.

We'll call it Gundam ZZ: Judau's Early Adventures!

More like Garrod at the start of Gundam X

I don't think CCA resolved the Zeon Conflict. It just resolved the rivalry between Amuro and Char. Unicorn was a more proper ending to the Zeon conflict because it addressed the politics behind the conflict and resolved it.

Here you go, guys. Episode 01:

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Is that an episode or a trailer? The narrative is so jumbled. It jumps from one point to another back and forth without much flow. Y'all might want to wait for the compilation movie or just read the damn novel in this case .

[cuzsal]

seems like its the EP

:/

[Malicre]

Female MC? interesting very interesting. Have we ever had a female MC in the gundam universe?

[Rising Dragon]

Yeah, Shinn Asuka. /s

We have some in the side materials like novels. But in the anime, Christina Mackenzie is arguably the closest we got so far:

Shouldn't have expectation for a 3 min anime...
So another UC series with Char making cameo and the heroine is Char's fangirl. I wonder if they r doing this like a teaser for bigger project. Cause if next ep is the same then I would say goodbye to this series.

[Faux Mecha]

my head can't still process on what the hell is going on, the MC is a Char fangirl? the Feddies infiltrated the remains of Axis? (but which one? as the thing was split in two in CCA) & for whatever reason there were remnants hiding in that place after the second Neo-Zeon war? why was the Gundam Tristan there? who & what is the MC? a pilot? whut?

Considering what this new Gundam is based off of, I'm not surprised that it too has a female pilot.

Why is it only 3 mins!

If it was at least as long as the thunderbolt eps it could have been ok.

It just jumps too much in that short of a time to make much sense out of things, whoever decided on this kind of output was an idiot.

Probabaly because it's way way cheaper, and probabaly as an experiment for the Snapchat/Facebook, whose companies are aiming for shorter length content.

There's also only going to be six episodes of this, though the last one will be a bit longer (though still shorter than one traditional Gundam TV episode).
