Gundam Reconguista in G

Gundam Reconguista in G (ガンダム Gのレコンギスタ) is a 2014 science fiction anime series and the thirteenth incarnation of Sunrise's Gundam franchise, created by Yoshiyuki Tomino. It is his first major Gundam project since the 2005-2006 Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation film trilogy and will debut in Fall 2014. It is set in Regild Century, the era set after the Universal Century, and follows the adventures of a pilot trainee named Bellri Zenam in the Capital Guard, an organization protecting a space elevator.

Plot
The Universal Century, a history marked by space colonization and space warfare, has passed. Humanity's prosperity has ushered in a new era of global peace known as the Regild Century. Bellri Zenam, a pilot training with the Capital Guard, is chosen by the G-Self—a highly maneuverable Mobile Suit of unknown origin, operable only by a select few—to embark on a journey that will change the course of the Regild Century forever.

Trivia

 * "Reconguista" comes from the Spanish/Portuguese word "Reconquista" which means "Reconquest". Tomino altered the spelling because he wanted a hard "G" sound. This again alludes to the location of the Capital Territory, South America.
 * It wasn't until the 16th episode, that the term "Gundam" was used in dialogue.
 * G-Reco is the first Gundam series since ∀ Gundam to not use cold opens.
 * Gundam Reconguista in G was ranked first in Sony Computer Entertainment's initial rankings of anime debuting in Fall 2014.
 * In the January 2015 issue of NewType Magazine, Gundam Reconguista in G was ranked the third best series, tenth most streamed and fourth most watched.
