Htown said:So the only Gundam I ever watched any of was Wing. I liked it, but I've always kinda wanted to get into the original Gundam universe.
So what's the best way to do that? I heard they cut the first series down into movies or something?

How I spent my summer vacation. Enjoyed all of them, though I think 0080 was probably my least favorite. I really need to go back and rewatch First Gundam and start Zeta one of these days.
Blader5489 said:Looking at that poster reminds me of how fucking beautiful the animation in 0083 looks.
Too bad the script sucked ass.
Me too. :lol I watched almost everything from the original to 00. Only ones I skipped were X and Turn A.
Parallax said:Stardust memories is the only one i didn't like. The only character that i liked was anavel gato, the others either pissed me off(nina, kou) or just didnt do anything for me. I also didnt really care for the gp gundam line. 01 was ok, but 02 and 03 were just odd. I didn't like 80, but the more i watched it, the more it grew on me.
Totakeke said:Love the music as well.

Beowulf28 said:I've been putting off watching ZZ because of how childish it is but I hear it picks up in the second half. Is it worth it to sit through 25 episodes of shit for the good stuff?
Gilgamesh said:I stopped watching Turn A. It just moved at such a slow pace thanks to Tomino's strict ~50 episode policy (although Turn A was only 50! gasp!). By episode 30-something I was bored out of my mind and I finally gave up shortly thereafter.

Maybe not, but it was more of a drama than anything and I'm just not interested in those.7Th said:There is no way in hell Turn A would have worked with a lower episode count. I love it because it is laid-back and adorably awkward. It really evokes the slow, quiet atmosphere of those classic WMT shows like Akage no Anne.
Trakdown said:I ended up really liking Gundam X. It's sad that Wing got so much more attention, it's very much an inferior series.

WyndhamPrice said:Earlier in the year a switch went off in my head that suddenly made me want to watch a bunch of Gundam series. I started with 08th MS Team and then did 0080 followed by the MSG movie trilogy.
Good stuff. Where should I go from here, though? I've heard Turn A Gundam is good.
I am also looking forward to Gundam Unicorn whenever that comes out.
You should check out G Gundam. It's a badass anime for manly men. It will put hair on your chest.WyndhamPrice said:Good stuff. Where should I go from here, though? I've heard Turn A Gundam is good.
Ranba Ral obviously.Kagari said:Who will survive?
Indeed. I'm currently rewatching it. Such a great show.7Th said:Turn A is still the best Gundam show produced to date. Tomino took all of his obvious flaws as a director and transformed them into quirky strenghts. The show works because it is charmingly sloppy.
as for news ngee is pretty goodHero said:Anyone know of a good English site for Gunpla news/discussion/etc? I used to go to AEUG.blogspot.com but it's no longer updated.
I need updated Gunpla news. The Blue Frame Astray 1/100 MG looks awesome.
shintoki said:It's all about Stardust Memory, Gato was a fucking beast.
Good guys also won in that one <3
Loved 8th MS Team, and War in A Pocket also. Movies for the original were fantastic.

Trakdown said:Stardust Memory had some great humor too:
Gato: "If you wanna be more than just a grunt, you gotta learn to see the whole picture!!"
Kou: "Uh.. Yes! Yes sir!"
Gato: "Gaaaaah!! I'M THE ENEMY YOU IDIOT!"
Apharmd said:While we're talking about 0083 humor, am I the only one that laughed when the director decided that a cheesy love song should play while Kelly and Kou have a montage of repairing the Val Valo together?
I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A LOVE AFFAIR I NEED THE MAGIC WHEN I HOLD YOU NEAR
Trakdown said:0083 had great art and animation quality and music (The Winner + Men Of Destiny), but yeah...script needed some heavy work. Gato was awesome, though. So was Kou until he spent every episode yelling at the top of his lungs. But it holds a special place in my heart since it actually revolves around Gundam pilots who aren't in the throes of puberty.
