anyone watch the first eps, or any UC Gundam fans here?

It'd good to finally see them put more effort on something of this caliber and from the UC timeline. :thumbsup:

now, if they animated Crossbone G or G Sentinel...

P.S. I don't care what you say, nothing I have watched could compare to Gundam Wing :(

Z, ZZ, Char's Counterattack were few of my favourites and this newest addition fills in some of the missing time between the earlier productions. Set before F91 and V gundam but 3 years after Char and Amuro's supposed death and disappearance from trying to push Axis away, with their psychoframe-equipped MS.

Unicorn has full psychoframe and also NT-D ...

another nice note is the cannon fodders. In particular I like the design of the RGZ-95 ReZEL as it basically is the bastard child of Z-Gundam and the Methuss. Spec-wise they are better than Re-Gz from CCA (that thing was weak) and also the ZETA Pluses from Sentinel, which is again another need-to-be-animated-piece. I noticed there are different colored visors for the ReZELS and the correlation seem to be this : Commander type RGZ 95C has green visors versus red for the normal spec RGZ-95, and also C types carry mega beam launcher over the shoulder instead of standard beam rifle.

Jegans are still around and getting pwned though :lol although the Stark Jegan sorta redeemed the reputation for all Jegans until it got pwned (pilot error). New Neo-Zeon Gearas plus the upcoming MSN-06S (familiar red suit with 6S designation). The token evil masked man is back, and with a RIDICULOUS name this time.

wtf is Full Frontal? what kind of name is that?

"Hi, my name is Full, Full Frontal" ... "you mean full of shit *pew pew pew*" :lol that'd be a funny line.

If it were up to me I'd get them to remake ALL the Gundam series from 0079 and up with modern animation techniques, like the recent remastered Z-Gundam movies (with some added footage) :D

...or I wait for the next Macross series.

I thought Seed was okay.
Destiny to me was a bit of a futile attempt to keep the franchise going...got a little repetitive to be entirely honest.

Before I watch this series, can someone tell me if any of the following are apart of this new Gundam franchise:

-kids who fight in wars, giving orders to adults
-some weirdo wearing a mask all the time
-Earth vs. Colonies
-some sort of BS about ideals, peace, rights, and love

Honestly, I'm getting pretty tired of seeing skinny, scrawny kids who are like 12 years old fighthing in wars, babbling on about right vs wrong like they possess majors and doctorates in philosophy and history.

I need some realism. I want a huge Batou-looking dude piloting a Gundam, who smokes and gets in fights, and is an alcoholic.

Gundam needs some growing up. Is this Gundam Unicorn it?

Gundam Wing was by far the gayest with Gundam Seed only falling behind because it's a copy of that bullshit that was Gundam Wing.

In the original UC series, the Gundam pilots were just the best at what they do...like fighter pilots that were awesome in WWI and WWII. In GW and such, they are fucking gods and can kill millions with their pinkie. Char and Amuro were awesome but they were still somewhat human in their skills.

As stupid as this sounds when it comes to talking about a series about giant robot suits, I enjoy the realism of the old series better than the new pretty boy bullshit designed for girls.

You heard me...if you like Gundam Wing, good game because you just fell for some bullshit Bandai created to attract GIRLS to the Gundam Universe.

Gundam went downhill fast after Turn A.

It might look ugly, but Turn A was actually one of the better series.

Stardust Memory, War in the Pocket and 08MS is where it's at.

It is because I enjoy, or enjoyed in the past, watching the series. However, far too many of the same themes are rehashed over and over again.

And come on, kids talking about ideals? What the hell does a kid know? How naive do they think they are to lecture us about the world? How naive are the writers?

You know, I realize some of you guys can just shut off parts of your brain and enjoy the show for whatever it is, and that's great, but I can't anymore. After watching 3 Gundam series', these things start to become too glaringly obvious to ignore for me. The completely ludicrous thing is I seem to be apart of the minority.

I know anime writers can produce quality shows. Just look at Ghost in the Shell.

The girl/daddy issue/material things were good in the original series, but even then those were managable.

Once the teens got involved, it's like Gundam 90210.

If you are looking for those, you might as well watch Macross, it's theme is "song, fighter jets, and love triangle" for EVERY SERIES.

Are there any Gundam series without one of those? All those things are signature Gundam... If anything they need to simplify the political garbage. I admit the last several Gundams were terrible. Either make it serious/realistic like the original UC or make it light hearted and funny like G Gundam.

By the way, ALL recent (last decade or so) anime is about some 16 year old kid saving the world.

Oh, and I like the weirdo's in masks. It's funny.

This is a OVA series, I think...so it'll take awhile.

Also, this is a whole new level of animation, IMO...so I'm not surprised it'll take awhile. The differences aren't noticeable at first but the detail is quite advanced.

Also, having a love story in Gundam isn't terrible as long as it is done correctly. 08th MS is one of the best series and it had a whole Romeo and Juliet thing going on.

Edit: LOLOLOL AUDREY BURNE? Obvious reference is obvious.

Finally, some fresh UC content thats animated
but really nns.. it doesnt seem like you follow gundam at all with that kinda talk

Char Anzable is the worlds most badass man(and pedophile) in the gundam universe

all that bullshit in Wing and Seed with the mask is stupid...
i especially hate that masked man in wing, Milliardo Peacecraft is a pansy...
at least in Seed, the guy in mask was not as homo like

JKam

Millardo piloted Tallgeese and Epyon. He is badass. Wing was a good gundam series. Very good for visuals. Not that good because the gundams were godlike.

Unicorn's NT-D Destroy mode can't beat the Banshee, which is also NT-D equipped.

The overall first episode gave me the feeling of Gundam F91 when it was released long time ago in theatres overseas. (the Loto/special forces transformable Guntank was the pre-production model for the R44 guntank found in F91)

Marida Cruz = Ple 2 or 3 or 12 i forgot ( she was cloned to be a sex slave, hence the reference of the title "master" to the Captain who rescued her from that life )

Jegan < Stark Jegan < ReZel.

Unicorn made its debut, Banshee, Unicorn's more powerful sister suit will make debut soon in the storyline, as well as Delta Plus which is a transformable version on the Hyaku Shiki, or what it should've been.

yes, Hyaku Shiki (Type 100), despite having countless fans for it was actually a failed project :lol and the AEUG made it iconic along with Zeta Gundam. In fairness, both were deemed prototype models.

I'm so excited I'm rambling hahaha need MOAR!

03-18-2010, 11:48 AM
marida is ple 12 i believe. she's the lone survivor of the neo-zeon war in ZZ. she was cloned by Glemi Toto, and fought in a MP Quebeley. she was retreived and sold in the sex trade.

I thought the ending was a strong way to finish what can be considered "in line" from 0079. In terms of time it starts moving into F91 and side stories like Hathaway's Flash. Although, the 00-esque theme of "UNDERSTANDING" came up again...

Way too much jobbing of cool custom suits though.

05-19-2014, 06:36 PM
My Japanese is a bit rusty but I thought it was hope and possibility, more than understanding.

I am glad they redid the call backs instead of just cutting and pasting.

A lot less people died vs CCA.
