Would you watch a Gundam show that dealt with the/a JAG analogue?
I know I would. Especially if it turned out like pic related.

>space fleet court and inter-military politics
Might work for some OVAs, not sure if it would work as a TV series when you need to have a young protagonist who wouldn't be versed in space law.
Perhaps the pilot acts more as a marshal & ferries/protects the person being tried or the witness. That could give you a fair amount of action to generate mobile suit fights. That would justify having the MC be near the court.
Perhaps making the prosecuting attorney related to the MC, like an older brother or father.

>fucking space Nuremburg trials prosecuting Zeek and, later, Titan war criminals
I want it, I want it right now
That sounds really fun
>>15299339
As long as this guy's the main character, sure
>>15299358
The MC being a marshal just makes it cooler. And also lends itself to silly "Witness/Defendant of the Week" type episodes.
>Quick, the admiral's daughter needs to be ferried to court safely because her dad has to testify and to ensure his cooperation we've promised to protect her!
>Oh no, we need to get this defendant to court soon--and they're doing everything they can to make it hard for us because they worked for us before they went rogue!
>The [insert-leader-title-here]'s been put on trial! Quickly, MC, find evidence that will clear their name!
>>15299382
Natch.
>>15299339
I would watch it, because that's basically the plot to Advance of Zeta: Flag of the Titans and fuck yes do I want to see that animated.
>>15299488
>main pilots a customized GM
>Works alongside a former Zeon pilot
Make it a buddy cop show with the zeon pilot either being a lover interest or an irritated mentor figure.
>>15299502
>love interest or irritated mentor figure
Why not both?
>>15299506
Like a sexy older sister?
>>15299512
As long as they're not *actually* related, yes!Fuck, I'd watch it even if they WERE related
>>15299519
So we have young, kind of gruff MC and a worn out somewhat distant ex zeon pilot and they open up to each other as show progresses?
>>15299528
The fanfics are writing themselves at this point, so very much yes.
I demand a workplace alchohlic former Titan who constantly says people should just be short or don't even deserve a trial, yet somehow comes through when he needs to.

I might try to write this as a short story at some point. It sounds like a pretty interesting idea. It might not be gundam though.
>>15299339
only if it's exclusively focused on pilots who accidentally stepped on stuff with mechs
>>15300324
Kinda defeats the whole purpose of the exercise but ok...
>>15300324
so like that Patlabor episode with the insurance adjuster?
It should have a narration at the opening:
"Following in his father's footsteps as a mobile suit pilot, lieutenant commander Radon Soroc. suffered a crash while landing his Delta Plus on a severely damaged MS Carrier at Lagrange 3. Diagnosed with night blindness, Harm transferred to the Federation's Judge Advocate General Corps, which investigates, defends, and prosecutes the law of the Earth sphere. There with fellow JAG lawyer Major Christina MacKenzie, he now fights in and out of the court room with the same daring and tenacity that made him a top gun in space."

YUUUUUUSSSSS let this be a thing!
>>15301363
>Radon Soroc
>Harm transferred to the Federation's Judge Advocate General Corps
Whoops. I forgot to edit that part.
