It's a Gundam thread!

One thing that's kinda not-sure-if-want was those BESPA suits with rotor blades on the arms. They almost looked like a Transformer. (someone better versed in transformed lore probably can tell me which one)

Yeah, I was kinda ehh on all the transformation stuff in Victory, especially ones that expect pieces of mecha to assemble and disassemble mid air.

MAD-NUG.

I've said this before, but it also doesn't help that most UC Gundam antagonist's don't seem to have clear cut motivations for what they're doing. The Ronahs' are all "The Nobility is cool amirite?" and Zanscare is "Matriarchy and Guillotines and whatever". They never had that sense of identity that Zeon did.

Ugh.

The chorus to B-Bird sounds so familiar. The melody and the way the singer delivers the lyrics and everything. But I can't place it and thinking about it is melting my brain.

IS AMAZING.

Hey, a Crossbone Gundam sequel set in the Zanscare War.

Seems pretty interesting, since that era could really benefit from some more worldbuilding.

Also, anyone know if the Scanlation groups doing Gundam: The Origin are still working on it?

More info on the Gundam Unicorn game.

Good News Everyone!

Killem All Tomino has done again it!

Neon Gensis EvanGundamion.

A new anime series is in the Works from Yoshiyuki Tomino the man who slew The Mecha Genres Animation Age Ghetto, and established the Real Robot Genre!

I'm sort of amazed nobody reposted this here since apparently this was announced somewhere in late September.

Is there any more on that? All I could make out was its in the U.C. 1000s and it involves Space Elevators.

Also, anyone else here find 0079 to be their favorite full length Gundam series?

there's no more on G Reko that I could find.

If the information is out their it's likely on the Japanese sites.

Though not 0079 specifically I do in fact prefer the Universal Century.

Favorite full length series? G Gundam, hands down. Then Gundam X. Mobile Suit Gundam is in the middle of the pack somewhere.

What he said.

(Turn A Gundam is a very close third. If manga are allowed, Crossbone Gundam is neck-and-neck with Turn-A.)

Let's see Turn A Gundam, Zeta Gundam are hands down my favs followed by Wing, Seed, 00, Gundam, G, etc with Victory Gundam at the very bottom.

Gundam Wing, The08th MS Team, Mobile Suit Gundam (UC 0079) for me.

I'd like to ask you why you find Victory bad...

Well I mean, 08th MS Team and 0080 are my favorite Gundam shows over all. Was talking about full length (i.e. 40+ episode series) shows.

Nothing really clicked with me it's war for the sake of war, death for the same of death, and all around I just found it lacking.

It is my least fav Gundam series but I dont hate it. (I don't hate any Gundam series.)

Like Many folks in my age bracket I started with Gundam Wing. I down Loaded Gundam Seed and watched Gundam00 On Sci Fi.

Though I do like them. I Find the older U.C. series far more satisfying, as dated as they are by modern standards.

Unicorn is awesome, Age though light and fluffy is actually a decent and fun series. Let's all hope thatG Reko. Is Epic when it finally gets released.

Also when it comes down to Gundam Vs Gundam, like The Goddamn Batman! The Universal Century always wins!

Um, when it comes to a real fight, it's a coin toss between the Turn-A and Master Asia.

Nah. Turn A wins, regardless. Reason? It can handle the Turn X, an ubertech suit incorporating the best aspects of the God Gundam, the suit that beat the Master Gundam.

I think it's been long-established that every 'who would win?' question in Gundam boils down to 'Turn A beats everyone. At once. Period.'.

Well, in a slightly more idealistic world, Master Asia would "LOOK THE EAST IS BURNING RED!" and incinerate the pilot with his sheer manly aura... but the Turn-A would regenerate the pilot (slowly).

So yeah, I'm all for the Turn-A, but we gotta give the Undefeated of the East props.

Uh... the Turn A's pilot is Loran Cehak. In an idealism battle, Master Asia is not going to come out on top.
