Newtype from what I believe is only defined in the Gundam universe, in other words not many people would know what you mean unless you watch or read Gundam. The definition of Newtype in the manga/anime is somebody who is more evolved than your average human being. Similar definitions would be "Coordinators" in the Gundam Seed universe and "Innovators" in the Gundam 00 universe.

Pretty awesome series can't wait for more, brings back a lot of memories.
