Newmann

Newmann is the slash ship between Newton Gottlieb and Herman Geiszler from the Pacific Rim fandom.

Pacific Rim
Hermann and Newton accompany Marshal Stacker Pentecost, Mako Mori and Raleigh in the elevator down to the lower levels. When Newton rolls his sleeves up, Raleigh notices he has a tattoo of Yamarashi. Newton enthusiastically describes admiration for the Kaiju's strength and his desire to see one up close as Hermann dismisses him as a "Kaiju groupie".

Pentecost and Hercules Hansen are present in Hermann and Newtons shared lab space while Hermann is explaining his predictions on the breach. Newton, working on a dissection of a Kaiju, interrupts and throws the part of Kaiju he had been holding towards a table and misses causing it to fall onto the floor. Tape splitting the room into two halves can be seen when Hermann angrily kicks the Kaiju parts over the line telling him, "no Kaiju entrails over my side of the room, you know the rules. every bloody day is incessant." Hermann continues to talk to Pentecost and Hansen while newt is seen in the background mocking him.

Uprising
Newt arrives at the PPCD as a member of Shao Corporations. Herman runs up to him and asks for his assistance in one of the experiments he's working on. They arrive at his lab, where Herman starts to explain what he needs help on. He believes he found a solution to get the Jaegar's to Kaiju faster. Newt looks over the notes and tells him that there isn't a fuel source good enough. Herman believes that they could use Kaiju blood. Newt tells him it's a bad idea, and irrelevant given that the drones will likely be taking over. Herman asks if Newt is going to help him. Newt says they could talk it over dinner at his place, but Herman needs a solution and nothing more. Newt gets a call on his watch and tells him it was nice catching up. As he leaves Herman stops and tells him he still has nightmare's from what they saw in the Kaiju brain. Newt does as well, but it was worth the rush.

Shao asks what Newt's relationship with Herman is and he tells her that they used to share a lab together. She doesn't want him speaking to him anymore, and Newt tries to defend that Herman is harmless and they barely see each other to begin with.

Uprising

 * Newt reminds Herman that they've been inside each other's heads.

Fanon
The pairing quickly dominated the fandom. Many drawn to the two sharing most of their screen time together. Rarely interacting with others.

On AO3 it is the most written ship for both characters. As well as the most written ship in the Pacific Rim tag.

Both actors of the characters, Charlie Day and Burn Gorman, have spoken out on interviews as knowing about the ship and approving of it. They even went on further to say that they played their scenes as if the characters had feelings for each other. Charlie Day specifically saying in one interview for the second movie;

"People have been shipping it but i think they are totally right, it completely informs the character... [] It's the better way to take the character."
