Lol I get what your saying but let's not hold Gundam to real life pilot standards and haircuts. If you've even seen ZZ Gundam, it's like half the female characters belonged to a 1980s hair metal band.
I find it amusing that if they want to make this diverse band of pilots be sympathetic, but there is one amusing underlying tone. They're the bad guys and the end of this conflict they're going to most likely be in body bags if they're not vaporized from a beam rifle shot. So if the wokies want to make their OC characters look cool, fine, they're red paste regardless.
Actually now that I think about it, a lot of characters in good ole ZZ Gundam were super diverse too, and also super dead.
Even if our OC band of plucky Zaku pilots all end up dead, I think that there is still the possibility of a really good story there, similar to a survival horror movie, with the Gundam as the slasher that the audience knows cannot or will not die, but we root for the characters anyway.
Unlikely that we would get it, but there is a possibility.
And yes, big anime hair is appropriate to an anime, but less so to a more "realistic" CG show. Look at me, hoping against hope that the obvious aposematism haircut is justified.
Oh oh, Gundam Thunderbolt is really good at splitting the story down the middle at least.
Also it's much newer and the action is unrelentless. If you haven't seen it and want to Id be willing to do a mini watch party. I would love a excuse to watch it again :)
Most Japanese animes don't even want someone who looks Japanese in their show. Like I know what you're trying to say but these points you make are inappropriate and off the mark in this context, stop making me act like I'm defending wokies lol.
You are, though. I get it because based on your comments you're a Gundam fan.
But take note how Westernised the characters and depictions are in the trailer, and -- as Sailor93 points out, there is a LOT of diversity among the small group of characters they depicted, but not one looks remotely attractive or in-line with Japanese aesthetics. It's entirely framed from the lens of what Lefties want people to see Japanese media as when it comes to "diversity"... though, ironically, without any kind of East Asian physiognomy whatsoever.
The typical Japanese depiction of their characters are oftentimes visually aspirational -- characters you would want to look like, or characters you would want to root for. Even if they don't look chiefly Asian, they usually look beautified to the point of attracting the viewers' attention to them based on design alone.
That is not the case with the characters in that trailer -- who for all intents and purposes, look like general, Netflix-approved, Western-tier characters from any other establishment media made for "modern audiences".
Okay I think I get what you're saying. I thought you literally were calling out that the characters don't look 100% Japanese. Most Gundam shows don't even have their characters even looking like that which is what got me in that spiral.
... There's a few red flags. It's purely Netflix, although the development is still done by Bandai and Sunrise, which are the companies in charge of Gundam.
I don't want to make a fuss about it probably having a lead female character, the trailer is vague but who ever she is has been getting the most screen time on that trailer.
I really do want to check this out as it's UC Gundam content, my fav and the Gundam franchise has been having some very good momentum these past few years.
The sound editing is terrible. The style is not appropriate for the Gundam franchise. The voice work is horrible. The side-shave feminist is a telltale Netflix contract obligation. It looks worse than Final Fantasy Advent Children.
Just for context on how much Netflix can kill the viewership of an anime series by how they release episodes, remember JoJo Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean?
This is BEFORE we get into whether there's woke contamination or not. They are not the platform with a track record for handling anime releases, very closely followed by Disney. Amazon did better by how they released the final movie of Evangelion.
This unfortunately even if it's great, might suffer the same fate.
Just look at the Netflix redub of Evangelion. That alone tells you everything about their anime department.
Especially how arrogant they are that they can redub something people love and are attached to, and will waste huge amounts of money thinking they know best.
But Netflix.
But woman with "the haircut", even though that would be mostly appropriate for a pilot.
But diverse.
But in English.
I would love to see a Zeon centric story that illustrates how terrifying and likely hopeless it would be to try and fight a Gundam, but...

I know this is a two year old reply but I got to see the show and you are on the mark with the Gundam showing up as a slasher villain.
More fun trivia, it was a "recon in force" Gundam. It has minimum armor, would hunt beyond enemy lines and just attack mobile suits.
Lol I had forgotten about this, and that is interesting to hear. Thank you for the update. I may have to pirate or borrow an account to see.

Japanese series not a single japanese character in sight. Preach diversity lol what a joke

I'm upset that Netflix won't get us a physical release of some of these content. I'm still waiting for a English dub of Hathaway on Blue Ray.
...I own non pirated copy of Hathaway on Blue Ray too, but that theatrical release was extra pricey to get and only has English subtitles.
Strong independent blacks and whaman put the hwite men in their place? Seems like a strong possibility.
Any story told from the POV of the zeons is worth a watch in my book.
Just play zeonic front or ms igloo. Atleast you wont have sjw shit to deal with
IGLOO DIED FOR THIS
