When will there be a Gundam with a female protagonist?

Sei Iori is a girl, right?

Zeta, GBF, and Turn A already exist.

>>15146449
>Main Heroine/Main Girl/ =/= Main Protagonist

Try telling that to our weebshits

Kudelia is IBO's protagonist.

Tomino wanted Turn A to have a female character but the higher ups wouldnt have it so he made took the tits off Lora's design added a letter N and presto! The suits were happy.

That was in 1998/99 and theres still no sign of them being willing to do it.

It's pretty much never happening, especially with Gundam becoming more and more irrelevant ratings-wise and depending more on Gunpla sales.

>>15146444
Gundam is trying too hard to stay mainstream and safe to try something like a female protag. The franchise's notion of a novel idea is "let's bring back Tomino, the guy who created the franchise in the first place".

>>15146444
>the girl has to use a cute bear robot

Bait harder.

>>15147203
Because they've over-saturated the series with show after show. If they held off for a while and brought the series back from a hiatus, they could get actual ratings

As the 2016 election proves, making a decision simply because one has a vagina doesn't bode well.

I mean, what is next? a shounen action series with a female protagonist, female antagonist AND a female rival? you might as well make it about something gay like clothinng and fashion then. We all know boys immediatly drop a series when they see a female protagonist, so something like that would never sell.

>>15146725

> implying that a precure show where the protagonist is a super buff jojo-looking dude on a team of magical girls, who has who own transformation sequence and pastel colored frilly outfit, wouldn't be absolutely amazing.

>>15147636

Except Kill La Kill was horribly lacklustre.

I won't attribute it being lacklustre to the fact that it was female-centric, however.

1. Anime/manga/VN/LN/WN are made for Japanese fans.

2. The female Mecha fanbase doesn't represent 1% of the general mecha fanbase here in Japan.

3. Female protagonist = 1) Yuri with a totally or almost totally female cast. 2) Harem reverse with drama shoujo 3) A classic shoujo series. Japanese mechafag hates it.

3. Japanese mechafag loves: pilots, action, mechs, battles and self insert yourself into male pilots focused on action and mechs.

4. Japanese mechafag hates: Yuri or any other type of bullshit not related to genre.

5. Japanese otaku loves: waifus, virgin waifus, pure waifus, waifus who is genuinely interested in its male self insert protagonist and self insert yourself into male characters to interact with your waifus.

6. Japanese otaku hates: Yuri, non-pure waifus, non-virgin waifus, waifus that are interested in someone other than your male self insert protagonist and self insert yourself into female characters.


Wow, it's amazing how Western fans don't have the necessary knowledge about our culture and our people. No wonder they have to create headcanons and falsify translations to push all of your personal tastes on others.

It was shit but it was also popular, thus serving as a counterpoint to the idea that a shonen series with a female protagonist (and a female rival) won't sell.

I'm sure you feel real smart about picking out two shows where the comparison specifically does not work because they're not aimed at children with the intention of selling them merchandise, pretending there aren't genres specifically marketed for boys and girls and that Gundam isn't one of these or that these shows you picked out were succesful enough to prove that stepping outside of the genre's core audience is a genius move.

Gundam would do fine with a female protagonist, people probably wouldnt care, some might actually get into it more. The problem is that bandai sees that as taking a risk, which they hate doing

Might work. Might be shit. In fact, it's likely to be shit considering everything past 00 has been garbage.

>Gundam would do fine with a female protagonist, people probably wouldnt care

As I have already said, /m/ has worsened over recent years and the problem is much more extensive than he implied.

Sometimes I feel like there are more cancerfag (waifufag, yurifag, SJW, feministard, weebshit, shoujofag, reverse-haremfag, boogeymanfag) disguised as mechafag than real mechafag.

It seems cool, but G-Reco was shit in a rug.

>>15146444
Probably never. It wouldn't be a kind of substantive change such that people who wanted to do something new with Gundam would bother. And the conservatives who just want to mainly keep things the same wouldn't do it because it is too experimental for them.

>>15146444
It's been what, 40 years without one? Probably not going to happen.

You should ask yourself the following question.

>>15147390

They don't NEED ratings. Modern anime is almost all about pushing DVD sales and merch. Actual tv ratings are worthless to them. It's just advertising for the merch.

>>15147630

Mecha anime is not universal.

Gunbuster was an OVA series aimed at otaku.

Gundam is a tv series aimed at making little boys buy Gunpla.

>>15146444
Never because the Japs are gay for shotas.

>>15160975
G-Reco is better than Turn-A.

>>15162291
And American men love self-insert himself into female characters and yuri.

As much of a waifufag as I am, it's probably for the best to just relegate females to at most the main heroine or rival role.
I'm not a fan of self-inserts, though. 0079 and War in the Pocket were great because they had pretty good females (Sayla and Chris) with unique male MCs (Amuro and Bernie)

No, will not happen, but a female deuteragonist that pilot another Gundam and gets herself too a powerful upgrade at mid-season is not impossible.

As we have seen many time, it happens that a female character get a more important role in the story, but the "front cover MC" must be a male.

>>15146444

Never, ever.

>>15165065
And a pacifist prince who becomes captain of new type spaceship and must manage to prevent the outbreak of an interplanetary war with his is bodyguard... a female Char Gundam pilot who would like to take revenge and kill the whole prince's family for personal reasons, but realizes the importance of what they are doing?

An important thing is that a main character must advance the story. A lot of nippon MC, however, just wait...

It's not about enjoying yourself, it's about wanting your cake and eating it too. Being a giant whore in your youth and then being pissy when your looks fade too much to do the casual shit and the "good men" are going for younger/less promiscuous/less vacuous girls.

>>15165758
The point is not to have a "strong female woman that don't need no men"... because she's stronger than them. That's always been a bullshit. The point is to have a female pilot that can remain relevant in the story and battlefield and getting the job done right, even without be super op like the MC.

Roux was pretty good all considered. She was able to manage well both Z and ZZ.
Then, of course, compared to the male MCs like Kamille, Amuro, Char, or Usso she was nothing special, but she was good enough.

Why are you even so buttblasted at Japanese women having/not having sex/hooking up with guys who are x etc.? It's their life and I wish them all the best. Were you dumped by a Japanese chick? Or maybe you couldn't get laid? If you need to vent frustration at your own life, do it elsewhere.
