Somewhat sleeker than SEED's designs but otherwise nothing really revolutionary.

Gundam Virtue kind of looks like an updated version of GP-02....

Ok, Tieria really looks like a woman, XD.

But I do like the designs though. One of the things that turned me off about Turn A Gundam was the animation, so I'm interested in seeing a story like this one--which seems quite different than SEED or anything in the UC--with animation like this.

A friend sent me this link (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-06-14/gundam-00's-4-main-characters-4-gundam-units-revealed/2)

"Allelujah Paptism (an apparent wordplay on baptism) is a seemingly calm, benign 19-year-old who grew up as an orphan in the Humanity Reform League, the league centering around China, Russia, and India, before joining Solestal Being."

Allelujah Paptism.

-pause-

Wow. Watching Japan use English and Christian ideas and names is like a train wreck you can't look away from.

Allelujah Paptism.Good gravy.

Also, I'm seeing a distinct lack of females here. The bishie just adds insult to injury.

I've heard reports that this is going to be very similar to "Wing".

With what: No female pilots?

Not really much of a Gundam fan, but so far the planned character names annoy me.

BTW, does anyone have any images of female Gundam pilots in full pilot gear? I need to do a little research on my drawing, and that's why.

^There have been some female Gundam pilots, I believe. Sayla Mass used the MS a few times in the original series, there was of course Emma Sheen and the Super Gundam in Zeta; Cima Gadahau piloted the Gerbera Tetra which either started as a Gundam or was going to be a Gundam... There was that one in G Gundam; I'm not too sure about some of the others....


Here's an image of Sayla in pilot gear:

Well I'll be, there's an actual reason his name is Allelujah Haptism. You just had to wait a season plus four episodes to find out...
