should I not watch Gundam until I go through the original shows, or does it not matter?

 

[ShinRPGamer]

ROundabout continues to be best ED.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Wtf this song is on GTAV

You no one time I was playing GTA V and this song came on and then the game crashed....

 

[Hellwarden]

Time to watch kids get into huge mechs.

Sure that'll go fine.

should I not watch Gundam until I go through the original shows, or does it not matter?

It has references to other Gundam, mainly towards the end, but I think it can be enjoyed on its own.

Mexican Nazi Vampire Stone Man Experiments Thwarted by Britain-Born American

The weirdest pornhub video

 

[Schadenfreude]

OH SHIT, WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!?!?! God, I love this show. Oh shit full Roundabout too. RIP commercials. Time for Gundam: Unicorn.

 

[Zonic]

Noticed how they don't show Swasitkas or mention words like "Third Reich" or "Nazi"?
Yeah the anime kind of censored all that, even in Japan. It's all in the manga though.

There's also the fact that in Eyes of Heaven, Stroheim is playable but they removed his default outfit because....well, he dressed up like a Nazi, which is a HUGE no-no in Germany.

 

[Chase17]

Sawano time?


Also thanks for posting the manga images bboy. Interesting to see how it is adapted.

 

[cntr]

Oh shit I forgot it was Gundam time

I remember basically nothing about Unicorn so this will be a thing

 

[B.K.]

I wonder how confusing Unicorn will be for anyone that hasn't watched any Universal Century Gundams.

 

[Neoxon]

Here's the OP for JoJo Part 2: Battle Tendency.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

I see now why Darkseid was reading Mein Kampf that one time. Nazi's have some interesting cruel tactics in mind.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Here's to hoping Gundam Unicorn is better than Iron Blooded Orphans.

 

[ramoisdead]

I'm guessing that Unicorn is better than IBO from what I heard.

So I'm excited to see Gundam have a do-over.

 

[pirata]

This is 1938, which is generally considered the year before WWII in the West...but if you consider Japan's actions in Asia, the war started much, much earlier. In fact, it has been argued that WWI and WWII were actually one long war with a short cease-fire between them, since the fighting in Russia's and Turkey's civil wars continued into the '20s, and the early battles on the Asian theater started in the early '30s...


And that's it for Pirata's history corner for now...

There's also the fact that in Eyes of Heaven, Stroheim is playable but they removed his default outfit because....well, he dressed up like a Nazi, which is a HUGE no-no in Germany.

It's more than a no-no, it's illegal. You can be arrested for doing the Roman salute at the Nuernberg Colosseum, for instance, so don't joke around with that shit when in Germany.

 

[ckohler]

That episode went by fast. Lots happened. Great stuff.

 

[Bronx-Man]

You no one time I was playing GTA V and this song came on and then the game crashed....

<==TO BE CONTINUED==

 

[Takashi]

I'm not usually one of those "sub vs dub" folks, but as much as I tried liking Joseph's voice, I never was able to get used it.

Not that the voice actor didn't do a good job, I just feel it was miscast.

 

[blitzwolf215]

Noticed how they don't show Swasitkas or mention words like "Third Reich" or "Nazi"?
Yeah the anime kind of censored all that, even in Japan. It's all in the manga though.

Like whats the point, your already showing the Nazis even if they are not being named, might as well just commit.

 

[Moaradin]

Hopefully I won't be totally confused with Gundam Unicorn. The only Gundam shows I've seen seem to be all the alternative universe ones lol. Build Fighters, IBO, G Reco, etc.

 

[Neoxon]

That episode went by fast. Lots happened. Great stuff.

It's only the beginning, my friend.

 

[Man God]

should I not watch Gundam until I go through the original shows, or does it not matter?

You'll be okay.

 

[Ponn]

Making a JoJo abridged would be redundant on so many levels.

 

[Regiruler]

All it took was one episode to convert you guys to the ways of the Best JoJo.

His attitude is still inferior.

Jonathan is the best role model.

 

[cntr]

should I not watch Gundam until I go through the original shows, or does it not matter?

Unicorn will probably be okay as a stand-alone show, but yeah probably not as impactful if you aren't familiar with UC

 

[Chase17]

Oh

Am I supposed to know something about gundam for this show.

All I know is sawano

 

[Kaizer]

I've never seen Gundam Unicorn before, so this will be a new experience for me.

 

[ramoisdead]

Here's the OP for JoJo Part 2: Battle Tendency.

Oh yeah, this sounds waaaaaaaaaaaaay fucking better than what aired on Toonami. And now next week's OP will be cut. Dammit DeMarco.

 

[Shard]

So how extensive is the UC knowledge needed for Unicorn?

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I've never watched a Gundam series to completion even Iron Blooded Orphans.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Noticed how they don't show Swasitkas or mention words like "Third Reich" or "Nazi"?
Yeah the anime kind of censored all that, even in Japan. It's all in the manga though.

They don't really need to mention it. All you gotta say is "German military", "1938", and "WWII" and everyone will get the gist of it.

 

[Raxus]

should I not watch Gundam until I go through the original shows, or does it not matter?

Completely different timeline. The events and terms like newtypes (think super pilots) should be easy to pick up on for new comers. You won't be running into Amuro or Char and crew.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Making a JoJo abridged would be redundant on so many levels.

Antfish did it with the old Stardust Crusaders OVAs.

 

[BatDan]

I can't imagine Unicorn will be that confusing.

I should get around to watching the UC shows though.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Alright, let's see how Gundam Unicorn kicks off.

 

[Zonic]

.........did uh, we skip a few episodes?

 

[Man God]

Completely different timeline. The events and terms like newtypes (think super pilots) should be easy to pick up on for new comers. You won't be running into Amuro or Char and crew.

You say that.....

 

[ramoisdead]

Bloody face.

Already off to an okay start.

 

[Mik317]

wot

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i'm a bit concerned about understanding Gundam at all

 

[Schadenfreude]

In medias rex?

 

[Hellwarden]

Oh, this is an odd place to start...

 

[Grexeno]

Yep, it's in medias res time

 

[Shard]

Okay, that is a way to start a series.

 

[That Dude John]

Well this just gettin right to it

 

[cntr]

Completely different timeline. The events and terms like newtypes (think super pilots) should be easy to pick up on for new comers. You won't be running into Amuro or Char and crew.

Er, no, this is definitely not a new timeline.

also wow that was sudden

 

[MikeBreezy92]

I love this theme

 

[BBboy20]

That's one way to start a show.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Not even 10 seconds and we already lost a dad.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Ten seconds in and I'm already confused.
