It's interesting how much lore Witch From Mercury has that they really haven't revealed yet. The official summaries for both the main show and the Prologue don't really say anything, and the official sites merely mention stuff in passing rather than giving a complete explanation of its setting.

That pod reminds me of the Grod's ball
We're gonna have another SEED era where the Gunpla come with the most batshit concepts, aren't we?
I just hope it's not a Seed situation where all the more interesting or even good bits are in extended material
I'm just glad the show will be better.
GUND FORMAT is the tech that does the neural link for the Gundam suits. Presumably jamming it would basically shut the suit down, possibly brain frying the pilot in the process. What I'd like to know is why the Gundam creators would even built remote drone weaponry using GUND FORMAT if nobody can actually use them to their current knowledge. A lot of robot shows are guilty of this though, it just seems dumb to build a weapon in hopes that one day a series protagonist will finally appear to put it to use.
I don't think the original drones used in the Drone War were supposed to be controlled using the GUND FORMAT.
I meant the ones on the Gundam in the Prologue.
They were presumably hoping to make a breakthrough through continued research and development that'd allow anyone to use it, rather than sitting back and waiting for someone to turn up who could use it.
As seen in the Prologue, the Gundam suits were basically 1 man armies and only lost because of the specific counter. I assume that they were being made because the technology is so good that even if soldiers need to be sacrificed you would still get military supremacy. But they were trying to complete a Gundam that doesn't fry the pilot's mind, that's what the Lfrith was for. Spaceians attacked them under the excuse that if Earthians have access to such a MS the power balance would change.
so wait were there gundams before Lfriths release? which is why the counter balls exist in the first place? I thought the counter balls just worked as a mnin emp like weapon, but I watched it without subs.
Side note: We ain't getting a official English subbed prologue release for a while, are we?
No, the counter balls are for fighting drones. They just happen to also work on Gundams.
I see.
though its weird that the gundams simply turn off, like shouldn't manual controls not work? but that could have been a design/test thing where it wasn't intended for full on combat yet.
It doesn’t look like the gundams have a manual control system, it’s why Suletta’s mom couldn’t use it
There were Gundams before Lfrith but they fried the pilot's brains. Lfrith was designed to overcome that.
>the power balance would change.
I'm getting really tired of these NPC-tier "NOOO STOP VIOLATING THE UNSPOKEN LAWWS OF THE UNIVERSE. IF YOU SUFFER IT'S BECAUSE YOUR LIFE WAS MEANT OT BE LIKE THAT FROM THE START!!!" plots in shows
>series that has been about "war bad" for over 4 decades
>shows a political power grab where a corporate death squad takes out a research base, including civilians
the moral is that you shouldn't challenge the status quo
Illiterate moron.
>the neural load was too much for the pilot.
Won't it be easier for the setting to basically have ECM everywhere so brainwave controlled drones become a thing again? They just need another moronic reason for having NotMinovsky particles anyway
>setting where ai gets fricked over by tech that needs the human element
neat!
Drone doesn't mean AI you brainlet
These are jammers, it'd be more natural to assume that they just prevented human operators from controlling their drones
>brainlet
>to assume
so you admit to not having all the facts about the fluff and just guessing just like me
So have scans of the manuals for Lfrith and the Beguir-Beu turned up?
Not the best scans, but good enough for now

What's the problem with explaining the premise within the show itself while the main character is journeying and looking for answers, and the premise further being fleshed out as the anime progresses?
because then you get g-reco and your hyped cashcow becomes a flop that filters morons
