[Blade Raider]

Ah yes, Gundam. My love, my anger, and all of my sorrow lately has been focused on the Gundam merchandise I passed over way back. So much of it costs an arm and a leg now. No, I'm not talking about model kits. I actually hate model kits. Good if you like them, I don't want model kits with a bunch of joints (please don't try convince me otherwise). No, I mean the DVDs and non-model action figures I skipped.


Anyways, I have a soft spot for some of the more out there designs of G and the like, yet my favorites will anyways be the more basic designs like Red Frame, Ez8, and Rising.



Brief thoughts on the fictions:
UC: The best part of UC are the OVAs (08th MS Team being the best Gundam series ever). The main UC shows just don't do much for me (it might be their age, I'm not sure).

Seed: I really liked Seed (though I enjoyed the more lighthearted Astray manga more). Only got about half way through Destiny. Didn't hate it, just never finished it for one reason or another.

00: All I have to say on 00 is I enjoyed the first season and kind of hated season 2. Never cared to watch the movie.

Others: G is awesome if only for how wacky it gets with the designs and quotes. Last series I watched and really enjoyed was X. Couldn't get into AGE. Wing was so much better when I was younger and Gundam was Robotech without the pop idol BS (Don't hurt me, I love Macross, I was just tired of the pop idol stuff in it at the time).
