“Did you see the other side too?”
There’s a sense of self assuredness to me that this iteration knows it will deviate from the usual gundam formula, and also knows that it will get it right. Maybe that’s Kazuya Tsurumakis influence and experience talking from directing the rebuilds of Evangelion. Take’s character designs really helps sell how new and distinct this one is. Parts of it also reminded me of SSSS.Gridman and Dynazenon, starry eyed kids jumping into giant robots…
