Gundam All Inclusive Thread
After several dormant years my passion for Gundam, my original love, has returned! Thanks to some generous gifts in the form of Perfect and Master Grade models of various Mobile Suits by my buddy Moonbasetom, I finally have a reason get back into Gundam.
OO was the last series and movie I viewed, though I've seen in one form or another every series that came out before it. And until this past week I'd never built one of the model kits before by the way. So use this thread to discuss Gundam models, toys, shows, Movies, Manga, the whole spectrum. DairiderRX, get your ass in here! |
Haha, maybe he'll start posting on the boards more often again now :lol
Might as well join in the discussion since he's trying to get me sucked in on the franchise too. I know nothing of Gundam outside Wing (which was okay I thought) but am wanting some series recommendations. G Gundam is at the top, but more opinions other than just DaiRiderRX's would be welcome :p |

If you want to watch a series from the original Universal Century (UC) Universe then I recommend Zeta Gundam. It's set 8 years after the events of the original Mobile Suit Gundam. It references that series alot but the narration and characters will fill you in from there. Based on how much or little information you glean from stuff mentioned there you can go back and watch the original series or the 3 OVA's that take place between it and Zeta. 08th MS Team, 0080, and 0083. Zeta is by far my favorite Gundam series. BY FAR. Very dramatic, pretty dark, fantastic mecha designs, compelling characters. |
I've watched quite a few of the series myself,and have a few models.I got interested in Gundam ever since Wing.I've seen Gundam,Stardust Memory,Wing,08th MS team,Endless Waltz,Seed,Seed Destiny,00,SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors,Gunpla Builders:Beginning G,and the first season of AGE.

The Age designs haven't piqued my interest the same way that the OO designs did. Maybe that's why I fell out after OO, and it didn't help that the OO movie was one of the most awful pieces of Gundam fiction I've ever seen. Once I finish watching the rest of Unicorn I'll probably hit up Age.
On the topic of Unicorn, if you've seen at least the original Gundam, Zeta, and Char's Counterattack then it's right up your alley. Tons of references and little nods to those series with some great mecha designs. I've seen the first 2 episodes so far and loved them. Though episode is a generous term when each one is over an hour long. I think this formula is probably what would have made F91 more successful. |

I've seen just about everything except for Victory most of 00 and the UC OVAs.
AGE Isn't bad, the designs are unique but it kinda falls apart by the third generation. But yeah, Gundam is perhaps my first passion outside of Toku, and something I regularly collect. |
I like SEED and SEED Destiny.

Gundam, my one true Mecha Love. Oh sure. I'll enjoy a night with Robotech/Macross, Code Geass, maybe even Orguss if I'm in the mood. But I always come home to Gundam. My first series was Gundam Wing when it first aired on Toonami and I've been hooked ever since. I've watched the original, 0080, 0083, 8th MS Team, Z, G Gundam, SEED Destiny, and Wing. And of course Gundam Wing Endless Waltz. And I've loved them all. And because as a Man you can never have to many lists..
Sentai's Top Ten Gundams 1) Gundam Strike Freedom (Destiny) 2) Deathscythe Hell Custom (Series Ver. Gundam Wing) 3) Wing Gundam Zero (Endless Waltz) 4) MP Gundam EZ8 (8th MS Team) 5) MP Gundam Ground Type (8th MS Team) 6) Gundam Alex (0080) 7) Gundam GP02A (0083) 8) Gundam Heavy Arms (Series Ver. Gundam Wing) 9) God Gundam (G Gundam) 10) Master Gundam Sentai's Top Ten Mobile Suits (Non-Gundams) 1) Gouf Custom 2) Zaku (Char Custom) 3) Talgeese 4) Big Zam 5) Elmeth 6) Zeong (Which is the weirdest name for anything ever) 7) Leo 8) Taurus 9) Virgo 10) Cancer I've only seen Turn A while playing Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, so I can't really put that on my list. But I absolutely love the design of the thing. I also suggest everyone play DWG2, it's the best in the series and fun as holy hell. |

Oh Gundam, the one mecha series I couldn't get into.
Despite a brief tenure with G Gundam, I never really called myself a Gundam fan, only ever watching because I shared a room with my older brother who was a Gundam maniac. Anyone ever play a game called "Gundam: Battle Assault 2"? I love that game. That game was what gave me the incentive to learn about Mobile Suits, Gundams, and whatnot. |

ZZ and GP02A Physalis are the two who could consistently kick my ass, primarily because the Zaku's aren't exactly noted for their armor.
I never could get used to the power characters. Not enough maneuverability for my tastes. |

i just thought, we have tfw for Transformers, hiistank for gi joe, thundercats, uh what else oh here on tokunation for PR, sentai, and other stuff, why not have a Gundam forum for this network? White Base the all encompassing gundam forum :lol

Why the Crossbone is my favorite.
http://image.robot4less.com/cache/da..._e-700x700.jpg All those weapons can be stored on him and he uses everyone of them in the manga.But the two real reasons I like the Crossbone is this.One,he has one of the most menacing faces on a Gundam.....ever. http://v015o.popscreen.com/OElOLXBiO...edpainting.jpg And two,he does this.... http://fudoushin.files.wordpress.com...8/img_6622.jpg |

Crossbone is cool. I always liked his design. |

I have arrived my children :lol seeing as this thread was partially caused by me :lol
I was a MASSIVE gundam fan as a kid, but thanks to the shittiness that was seed and 00 i fell out of love of gundam. that was until gundam unicorn and rewatching g gundam got me back into gundam. i'm torn if zeta or g gundam is my all time favorite, but i so love 08 ms team and 0083. Anavel Gato is my all time favorite character in gundam currently waiting for the HGUC blue destiny unit 1 and ez-8 to arrive in the mail today |
Seed wasn't the best series,but Destiny was half way decent.Of course there's better out there.Obviously loved the Crossbone manga.G Gundam will always be near the top,as well as 08th ms team (mostly cause it had a more realistic military feel to it)

Also waiting for Mandarake order confirmation on my Master Grade Re-GZ :D |
I've never seen Blue Destiny. I just remember I could play as it in that Mobile Suit Gundam game for PS2.
|
So, I was looking through my stuff and I literally found a completely unopened Zaku II model.
...Sweet. |
