The human characters on the other hand were really meant to have the old school style of design from the 1970s mech anime. The Gundam Spiegel piloted by Schwartz has a skinny frame to give it the agility and speed that gives blitzkrieg-esque assaults. Like Lumberjack Gundam of Neo-Canda is literally meant to resemble a Candian lumber jack. But they add new details to certain Gundams to make them look more culturally authentic to each country. For traditional purposes obviously, a huge majority of the Gundams will stick to the grill face, have either the green and yellow eyes, and still maintain the iconic red, white, blue, and yellow color scheme. Even some of the minor characters like Alleby have their own contribution to the advancement of the story as well and has some touching moments that I don’t want to get into because it would be a spoiler.Īlong with a whole new set of story, setting and characters, you also get new Gundams. Domon is the quiet and anti-social super powered guy while someone like Chibodee is the obnoxious loud mouth comic relief character. I really enjoy the characters because of their personalities and they each bring in different elements to the show. In addition all religious referenes such as Domon’s future Gundam, known as the God Gundam, or G Gundam for short is changed to Burning Gundam and the Devil Gundam would be renamed to the Dark Gundam. Because the Japanese are oblivious to the concept of political correctness, they can of course get away with doing something like this in their own country. If you’re not offended by that kind of stuff, then you’ll probably laugh because it gets to you in that kind of way. I mean, the Russian is a prisoner? The Japanese portrayed as righteous? The American portrayed as strange and arrogant? And the list goes on. Portions of the characters are stereotyped or portrayed in what Americans would find not politically correct. The presentation of the culturally diverse cast is of course where the Ring ni Kakero influences come into play. But sadly, the people on earth will be collateral damage as a result. We wouldn’t have war, and it’d be pretty entertaining.
The premises within the Future Century universe where games, politics, and wars is handeled through the Gundam Fight is quite an interesting concept in my personal opinion, because I frankly think that’s how things should be. I like how it has unpredictable elements in it and you don’t really expect certain things to happen. The story itself is simple and fun, and minimally engaging.
