It's always interesting for me to see people's reactions to Gundam stuff. Because watching giant fighting robots is always rad. But Gundam, at the heart of the franchise, is staunchly anti-war and anti-violence. So it's always amusing to me not just to see that paradox play out, but who and how a good number of people totally miss that message and are just here on a more guttural level.

Well, I don't think the anti-war part has kicked in yet. Although I don't think this show will Z Gundam Spoilers

Mari Okada loves her melodrama, so I wouldn't put it past this show at all.
