** The show itself was an attempt at this. Imagawa was hired to direct it as he was rather new to the idea of directing and Sunrise thought that now that Tomino was no longer at the helm, they could control the new guy and use him to just push new toys. They didn't realize that Imagawa doesn't take "no" for an answer when it comes to creative control over his work.

** The Blu-Ray release of the series came with a proposal for a [[https://zeonic-republic.net/?page_id=11348 prequel project starring Allenby]]. It would have been a school battle series where Allenby proves herself among other candidates for Sweden's Gundam Fighter and had a mentor in the cybernetic student council president. Time will tell if it ever gets made.

* SpoiledByTheCastList: The credits list for the western DVD release lists every major character in the series in the credits for every single episode in each episode whether they're in that episode or not (Something rather obvious with Minister Wong and Allenby Beardsley, who aren't even ''in'' the first season). This results in [[spoiler:Kyoji Kasshu and Schwartz Bruder]] being repeatedly listed on the same line, revealing that there's a connection between the two before the latter was even introduced when the nature of that connection was one of the big reveals of the final arc.

** The [[DubNameChange name changes in the English dub]] were mandated by Sunrise, as they didn't want to repeat an incident in which various retailers refused to sell toys of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Deathscythe Hell]] due to the religious theming of its name.

RVA is now a disambig.


* RelationshipVoiceActor: For the English dub, Domon's, Allenby's and the announcer's voice actors are the same ones who voice Irvine, Fiona and Colonel Kreugar. In fact, many people who worked on ''Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury'' lended their voices for this show.
** Likewise, Domon's and Master Asia's voice actors are X and Sigma, respectively, in ''VideoGame/MegaManX8'' and ''VideoGame/MegaManMaverickHunterX'' and its accompanying OVA.

* ReferencedBy: Episode 17 of ''Series/UltramanZ'' has Yoko in [[Series/UltraSeven Windam]] performing a parody of Shining Gundam's Shining Finger attack. The reference is not a coincidence, since a) ''Ultraman Z'' is an Franchise/UltraSeries that parodied Super Robot genres UpToEleven, and b) the Alien Barossa in that episode is voiced by Creator/TomokazuSeki.

** [[http://gundamnews.org/mobile-fighter-g-gundam-early-designs]] The Gundams had different draft designs, some eventually being reused. The Shining Gundam had at least five different drafts, with one of them becoming Ulube's Gundam in the flashbacks. Maxter is supposed to have a cowboy hat; the idea was re-used for Max Revolver. God Gundam is supposed to have a flight mode, a year before Gundam Wing did. One of the Dragon Gundam's original designs became the Feilong Gundam. The Mirage Gundam was based on a rejected Rose Gundam design, if the kepi was visual cue. The Bolt Gundam is supposed to have a metal-chained flail and a battering ram that was used on a few Bolt Gundam model kits.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: It's not that the anime isn't available on DVD, it's just you have to be ready to fork over a good chunk of your life's savings on the used DVD market.

* ExecutiveMeddling: In an interview with a fansite, Creator/MarkGatha (Domon's English VA) said that the cast felt that the first 20 episodes were kind of rough because they hadn't gotten a feel for their characters yet, and really wanted to redub those episodes after finishing production. However, Bandai wouldn't let them.
