Or you could, you know, support Gundam in North America with actual money...
Novel concept, I know.
Have fun. Shiro is like the worst lieutenant ever. Risking everybodies life for some Zeon tail.Gonna finally tackle some of the UC stuff I haven't seen tonight. 08th MS Team is up first.
I won't buy Turn A until it is dubbed. So it's going to be awhile.
The only show good enough to buy undubbed is GBF.
So basically you're never going to support these releases. Cool!
I get that people like dubbing but it's never going to happen.
It's the reason to buy them. I'll keep watching any legal streams they put up and I don't pirate content.
I just keep hoping someone like Netflix will decide there is a market for it and make a widesweeping English language deal with them. I love some of the old dubs (especially G Gundam) but there's no doubt at all that the whole series could use a bit of respect and some nice modern dubs.
...that IS supporting the us. Gundaminfo is their official site.

Turn A DVD set 1 (25 eps) out June 30th for $49.99.

Rightstuff got it for $33.49
Holy shit, I thought it was canned.
Sooo happy.
That and 0083 are probably the best of the hand drawn era.08th MS is so pretty.

Right Stuf is the licensor/distributor. They announced a deal with Sunrise last year to get Gundam out on physical media here, including ZZ and Turn A.
And the no dub thing is tough. Gundam doesn't sell enough to justify recording a dub, but then you've got people refusing to buy it unless it has a dub. No wonder Gundam is fucked here.
I don't buy anime that's not dubbed and never will. The fact that I'd even consider making an exception for Build Fighters is something. They want a hundred bucks for the entire series and don't even bother to dub it? Nope. If someone puts it up on a streaming service I subscribe to I'd watch it again but spend a hundred on it? Got to be joking.
I own every dubbed Gundam release in the US up to Gundam SEED Destiny. Never bought Gundam 00 because it sucks.
It doesn't sell enough is a lame ass excuse. It doesn't sell what Sunrise thinks it should, because they're delusional about how popular Gundam is in countries that aren't Japan.
It was almost a curse that Wing did so well that they thought any Gundam property would do amazing over here.
I totally agree with you. Sunrise is delusional about Gundam in North America. Too bad it's their property and dictate licensing fees.
Gundam is the only anime property I'm interested in anymore, and I will support whatever we get here.
I wonder how many animators starved to death making those. As hated as it is 0083 had some great looking suits.Back during the heyday of OVAs with outrageous budgets.
Netflix wasn't up for releasing Knights of Sidonia on DVD/Blu-Ray here, though. Sentai ended up doing that.
Streaming is nice, but my end goal is to have Gundam on physical media in North America.

I should buy those, hopefully they do a Zeta release, though they really need to redub that show.I hope Turn A and ZZ do well, paving the way for re-releases of G, Wing etc.
You know you want it.Ugh, Victory. Never thought of it that way. I hope they consider AGE as already released here.
It really sounds like a labor of love on Right Stuf's part. They know they're not gonna sell a ton of these, but know there is a small contingent of diehards that will pick it up.
Bums me out how little interest there is in mecha in modern North Ameican anime fandom.
Edit: I picked up a bunch of cheap AGE blu-Rays in Japan last year. Subs included.
Apparently the plan is to get everything that's never been released here and then do the shows already seen here. Turn A, ZZ, Victory are priorities from what I've read.
So what hasn't been released here? Turn A, ZZ, Victory, and AGE. Anything else?
Wing and G should be pretty high on their priority list for re-releases.

Also, has Wing been shown again on Toonami recently?
Nope. They've tried working something out but can't anymore because of how insane the rights issues are. They want Gundam on the block but won't air anything subbed. I think Wing might break through when it gets re-released.
They can't throw on Unicorn?Nope. They've tried working something out but can't anymore because of how insane the rights issues are. They want Gundam on the block but won't air anything subbed. I think Wing might break through when it gets re-released.
That sucks. More people should be exposed to UC gundam. Even old school Adult Swim aired 0083 and Toonami eventually got to 08th MS Team.Maybe. Their last OVA experience (Hellsing Ultimate) didn't go so well.
I saw...most of that. Just missed out on CCA, Gundam Seed, which I knew about just didn't see it in its entirety till after after the stopped airing it and War in the Pocket, which I keep starting but never finishing. SD Gundam I started to watch at that point and then was like, "this isn't for me."Toonami showed:
Gundam Wing, Gundam Wing (Uncut), SD Gundam, Most of MSG, G Gundam, Gundam Seed.
Adult Swim Action showed: 08th MS Team, 0083, 0080 a War in the Pocket, Char's Counterattack.
You know you want it.
Y'all weren't kidding about about how gorgeous 08th is. Like, damn.
There's a battle towards the end that is fucking mind blowing. I'm looking at the Turn A preorder with my finger hovering over the buy button. And bought, since this is something we never expected to come here I'd figure I'd actually support this. I'd love Unicorn Blu Ray re releases at an affordable price of course.Y'all weren't kidding about about how gorgeous 08th is. Like, damn.
So how many years late is this? 2? 3?http://www.fandompost.com/2015/03/11/first-turn-a-gundam-anime-dvd-release-scheduled/

But Turn A is better than Age and 00.But I do buy Origin manga, and own 00 and the movie to 00 [best] and a Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3.
Dont think I would blind buy Turn A without seeing it first.
Would definitely buy Wing BD whenever it comes, Build Fighters, Age, and will buy Origin BD.
Because at that moment in the series she's a fucking lunatic.Why are her eyebrows so evil?
The world isn't ready for HD Katejina.So how many years late is this? 2? 3?
Also lets all remember that Japan already got blu-ray remasters of all the series.
All the ones that count anyway, so not Victory. Hah!

The art style and biplanes alone would piss him off.Trust us. Turn A is a masterpiece, especially compared to sit pieces like seed. Which means you would hate it.
