There is now a Gundam thread

[Mr. SmartyPants]

My favoties, are Gundam Wing, 0083 War in the pocket (man, rx-78 Nt1 "Alex" kicks butt!) and perhaps 0079, it's a really great series. It is a classic mecha series, whats so unique about it is that the mechas aren't super-robots like evangalion or pilot candidate and etc. Mobile suits have their limitations, and the politics in it are astonishing as well

[Esoteric]

Gundam! While the mobile suits in some of the other series are 'cooler', My favorites are 0080:war in the pocket and 8th team, for their realism in characters and plot. No super hero-pilots, just real people.

[Rogie]

I like all of the Gundam series except for G-Gundam (a little too corny for me) and 08th MS Team, which has a little nudity and a lot of vulgarity, both of which is too much for me.

Otherwise, my favorite is actually the original series. I really wish I could see it in the original Japanese, but there's some licensing problems; we may never see the true original. *sigh*

[Azier the Swordsman]

I've seen the first volume of SEED, I'm not too terribly impressed, I'll have to watch some more before I can tell whether I like it or not. The music rocks, though.

[Yahshua]

Ah speaking of Gundam what an old friend of my my first Gundam series ever watched was original Gundam then follow by Zeta Gundam then follow by double Zeta Gundam then follow by Gundam Wing then follow by G Gundam which someone asking what is G stand for G is stand for "God" then 83 starDust memory then 80 War in the pocket Then Char's counterattack then watched a little Bit of Gundam X and also Turn A Gundam Also 8th MS team. Gundam Seed is still good now awaiting the new Gundam Series Gundam Seed Destiny. In my opinon Zeta Gundam rules!!!

[Kisa]

OOOOoo I love Gundam! I like 8th MS Team, Wing and Seed.
Watching Seed at the moment . . . soo good! Lacus is cool ^^

[Mr. SmartyPants]

8th MS team is good.

if anyone liked SD Gundam.... you will not see the daylight of tomorrow

i dispised SD Gundam, i mena, they made teh zaku's and the emeies look like the 3 stooges!

I agree, that is why the 08th MS team is my favorite Gundam series.
If focuses on the characters as people (or soldiers), and the Gundams as just a tool for war. Not some insanely powerfull creation that desimates entire armies with their super 'Buster' cannon that every one sees comming and never moves away from...

Its more of a (excuse the oximoron) 'realistic Sci-fi', and thats what I like about it.

[Kisa]

SD . . . >< BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm sorry, but how can they call that Gundam and have it grouped with the TRUE Gundam shows . . .
*sigh*

[Yojimbo]

Yeah 08th MS team is by far in my opinion the best Gundam series ever created. For reasons that people have already reiterated. But I still enjoy the original series and Gundam Wing.

[Sephiroth]

Gundam SEED is the only gundam series that i've seen all the way through, but i think its really good, i've also seen quite alot of gndam wing, but could never really get into it, it fel like it was missing something, but to be fair Endless waltz was pretty good. I am also greatly anticipating the new sequel series Gundam SEED : Destiny, its gonna rock

[Ichigo_89]

Lotsa new Gundam stuff is coming out in November. the Zeta Gundam complete boxset (english dubbed) and the 5 Gundam movie pack (Char's Counterattack, Miller's Report, & the first 3 movie trilogy!) yah, it's gonna be great.

[Xeno]

All of Gundam has been good until recently, G-Saviour and SEED were pretty blah in my opinion. SEED is just taking the idea of MSG and splicing it with G-Wing, which I don't like that idea. My favorite Gundam series, as I've said before, is Mobile Suit Gundam, but most of the Universal Century series are great. Alternate Universe is were it started to go down hill, and then Tomino's idea to take the AU and add it to UC because of his distaste in AU, so he created the living horror we know know at Turn A Gundam. Which is apparently awesome "becasue Turn A fights with butterflies." The Moonlight Butterflies were pretty dumb the way I see it, and now that SEED-D is in the works, I only see Gundam going downhill.

[emoanimechild]

I really like gundam wing and I am watching gundam seed on cartoon network now, I only saw a few episodes dubbed though. I also saw 08th ms team gundam,but not much it was cool tofromwhat I saw... though I personaly like GW the best.

[desperado]

8th and wing are my favorites. i love endless waltz but i have one complaint...it needs more gradnous fight scenes like at the end of wing

[BigZam]

Yeah it came out in 1991 and was first in english in 2001

Yeah right! It didn't come out in '91! Try '79!

Anyway, http://www.mahq.net. Ultimate Gundam source. It has EVERYTHING. Much, much more than GundamOfficial. Probably about 15x more. Or more than that even.

Gundam 08th ms team is cool to. To bad I've only seen V.4

[Yahshua]

Ah this is a cool Mobile Suit Gundam CG movies that is showing in Japan's Bandai Museum call MS IGLoo and here is a link for it. And if you go to the special section you can see the trailer for it http://www.msigloo.net/

[Android raptor]

I love Gundam!!!!!!! 08th and MSG are my current favorites, with CCA and 0080 in close running. But I can't stand Wing! I guess I'm just a U.C. girl. BTW, what are you guy's favorite characters? Mine is 08th's Ghinius Sakhalin by far, as you'll probably soon hear lots about.

[BigZam]

Mahq.net!! Just go check it out, ya won't regret it

[wingzero7]

IM GLADE THAT OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY I DO ABOUT MSGW.

[mitsuki lover]

I've only seen Wing and Seed.Interesting both Relena in Wing and Lacus in Seed are strong pacifists.

[Sammy Boy]

Wow, I found a Gundam thread. Cool.

I only have a small collection which consists of a 1/144 scale HGUC model, and two 1/100 scale Master Grade models (one of which is still in the box).

I found a link to an image of a life-sized Gundam model from a friend's post on another forum tonight, decided to share it with you:

Enjoy.

How come the only things anyone's seen are Wing, 08th MS Team, and SEED? XD Gundam SEED, from what I've heard, is nothing but a rehash of the first series. I think I'd rather just watch First Gundam, honestly. Also, I used to really like Wing, but I haven't seen it in a few years, so I'd have to watch it again.

I personally really like G Gundam. It takes a long time to set up the plot, but once things get going, they don't stop. It's awesome. Shining Gundam for the win.

Anyway, I'm getting really enthusiastic about watching First Gundam and Zeta Gundam, mostly because I've been playing the PS2 game, Gundam Vs. Zeta Gundam. It's good fun.

[creed4]

I think my favorite was G-Gundam, but I've liked all the gundams I've seen

[Roy Mustang]

How come the only things anyone's seen are Wing, 08th MS Team, and SEED?

A lot of the reason is, because of Cartoon Network. You have your otaku gundam fans that have seen just about all of the Gundam or the UC gundam.

The new wave of Gundam fans in the US, saw GW, O8th MS team or Gundam Seed.

There are only three Gundam series that I can't stand and that is, Gundam Seed, Gundam 0083 and G Gundam.

I didn't really like Gundam F91 movie that much, but I did like the music in it.

My fav UC Gundam series was Gundam 0080 and Gundam 08MS Team.

For now, I just like GW as the AC series, but I like Gundam Wing Endless Waltz movie better then I did GW.

I still need to see Gundam X and I may see Gundam 00.

*Gasp* Awsome it's a Gundam thread!

Well like most others on here Gundam Wing is my favorite, though I did kind of like G-Gundam, just because it was different. But I mean come on the Gundams in Wing (especially Deathscythe, which I have a model of by the way) are just plain awsome, and the movie rocked as well, just the plot and everything in Wing left an impression on me.

Personally I wasn't that big of a fan of Seed either, the begining was Ok, but as the series progressed I started liking it less, I think it's because like others have said, it's basically a couple of older Gundam series slapped together.

And SD, Oh man don't ever let me see that series again *shudders*

[mitsuki lover]

Do we dare include *SHUDDER* SD GUNDAM that Toonami ran a long time ago?:hits_self

The only thing I hate about SEED(aside from the fact that they killed off
my favorite character *koff FLAY koff*)was that I was never able to see the entire series through.

[battletech]

I have seen ever Gundam released in America.

In ever incarnation I have found something to like in all of them.

GUNDAM ROCKS!!!!!!!
