During the Kidou Senshi Gundam 35th Anniversary Announcement, Gundam creator, Tomino Yushiyuki said that the new Gundam: G no Reconguista is not meant for the UC or Origin fans but for the children. The series was made so that children of Gundam fans can enjoy.
How the title of the series was decided
“G” was taken from “ガンタム大地に立つ” “Gundam Daichi ni Tatsu” (Gundam Raising)
“大地” means “Ground”
Originally レコンギスタ was supposed to be “レコン キ スタ” Reconguista was suppose to be Reconkista originally.
The reason why for the change was because they thought the title wouldn’t stand out.
