* DoingItForTheArt: In-universe Itano takes this to a ridiculous degree with his desire to animate things more realistically. Not only working himself to the point of collapsing but he even jumps right into the middle of a building ''as it's being demolished'' just to get a good idea of what smoke is like.
** It's not that big of an exaggeration for him either; in real life the man reportedly once forced himself to blackout during a flight school exercise as part of his research for ''Anime/MacrossPlus'', much to the horror of his copilot.

* DawnOfAnEra: In addition to covering the origins of ''Gundam'', the manga also captures the beginning of anime's transition into a cultural institution in general.



* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Downplayed, but the manga also touches on the cultural backdrop of Japan around TheSeventies (and later TheEighties), from the perception of anime as nothing more than glorified children's toy ads, to women having less career prospects at the time.



* TheSeventies: The series revels in the excesses of 1970s Japanese culture.

Kill Em All was renamed Everybody Dies Ending due to misuse. Dewicking


* KillEmAll: Sort of. Kusakari, after hearing about [[spoiler:the plotline, the cancellation of, and sponsor deception surrounding ''Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon'']], aptly calls Tomino "Tomino the killer"[[note]]Referring of course to how two Tomino shows have essentially been canceled due to poor reception[[/note]].

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


Written and illustrated by Hideki Owada, the author of the AffectionateParody gag series ''[[Manga/KidouSenshiGundamSan Gundam-san]]'', ''Gundam Sousei'' takes the creative staff (and a few of the voice actors) of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' and [[{{Dramatization}} cranks up their quirks and personalities]] [[UpToEleven to insane levels.]] Director Creator/YoshiyukiTomino is a chain-smoking, [[CoolShades shades-sporting]] badass, Creator/{{Sunrise}}'s program director is NewMeat {{Moe}}, the character designer is a {{Bishounen}}, the mechanical designer is a grease monkey who draws on the side, the list goes on. If the person was involved in the creation of ''Gundam'', they will be exaggerated. And HilarityEnsues. While most of the story focuses on how outrageous Tomino is, the manga does take time out to show off some of the weird and peculiar facts surrounding the early years of ''Gundam'' that may have fallen to the sands of time.
