[GE] Antw0n's Guide to Gundam + Gundam General Discussion

Well, I watched the last three episodes, but at least I can say that its ending is pretty much the "the power of love and friendship shall always prevail!" kind, and honestly, I'm not a fan of that kind of ending. Plus there are so many ripoffs of older Gundam series, like say, AGE-2 whatever that looks like Crossbone and AGE-3 whatever that is pretty much failed [Q]ant.

My comrade in the office once told me Gundam Age was more likely basis for launching new line of toy franchise. And he was right.

So some might shoot me for this, but which ones of the main series are dubbed? I've been planning to actually start the main series for some time, especially after player The Dynasty Warriors Gundam games. In the game, all the characters are dubbed, but hell that probably means nothing, though I know Seed/Destiny was dubbed.

Bottom Line, I'd prefer to watch most of it dubbed, but if not enough of it is dubbed, I'm fine with subbed, just don't want to switch dub/sub every series.

No one's gonna shoot you for this, especially not Antw0n himself. Hell, he'd recommend dubs all day, erryday. Especially Gundam, lol.

But anyway, to save you the trouble of having to look for it yourself, the following Universal Century Gundams are available in dub (in chronological order of the timeline):

Mobile Suit Gundam
The 08th MS Team
0080: War in the Pocket
0083: Stardust Memory
Mobile Suit Z Gundam
Char's Counterattack
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn (that's if you really wanna hear fucking Sasuke Uchiha)
Mobile Suit Gundam F91
G-Saviour

The only important one that's missing is ZZ, unfortunately.

Just letting you know, however: a lot of the original voice actors couldn't make it for later DWG games.

Wait, so F91 is actually after Unicorn? I thought Unicorn was the latest series of Universal Century (by the timeline).

Technically, yes and no. Unicorn is considered the last of Early UC, while F91 and Victory are considered Late UC. So late, in fact, that you can watch them standalone. This pic should shed some more light on it (this may or may not be official):

I see... though it confuses me a bit.
So, how about Crossbone? I haven't read it, but I heard that it has some connection to F91. That true?

The events in crossbone happens in UC 0133, ten years after the events of F91.

and lol, I just realized that GunPla builders also happened in Anno Domini Way before Gundam 00.

Yes, considering one of the main characters of Crossbone is



EDIT: Ninja'd, but yeah, now you have a definite answer.

Seed Destiny is best Gundam.

Sony actually planned to make a Gundam Movie in 2013 or near Future.

if it's an adaptation of the 0079 Gundam,they better work with Tomino and Sunrise so it'll stay faithfully to UC fans.

but if it's a new one,hope it's not gonna blows like G Saviour.

well they are making a remastered Seed Destiny too

If only Gundam X was popular like them it'll get am extended ver. (or even Under the Moonlight, mmmmhhmm DAT Belphagor) I'll just satisfy myself with their games... now waiting for the next GGen n GvG Series

This is a pretty awesome topic, once I start watching through the old Gundam series I'll be referencing this. Nice job!

Glad to have you on board.
Just start out easy from the first, or anything you can get your hands on.

Wow, thanks!

You better start watching Gundam X and Gundam AGE for the sake of this thread. :D

Skimp the Gundam Age... lol

Gundam X is on the list.
Gundam Age... eeeeehhhh.... I'm putting it off.

Oh yes. I remember them G Gundam (and the shining fingers LOL) and Gundam Wing (I remember Sandrock was my favorite).

If I ever find time again to watch lenghty anime, I'll refer to this list and watch gundam myself.

I saw Gundam AGE after exams and I thought the series was ok from episode 12 until Kio got the FX Gundam. Mostly because angry Flit was cool to watch, and also we finally have a Gundam pilot who is also the authority figure in the series. But Kio and the FX... it's like taking away all the parts of Kira that make him a good character and leaving him as a hollow shell of "Thou shall not kill". Even Destiny Kira still kills people in self defense and to protect others.

I just finished rewatching Seed/Destiny, and while it reaffirms my belief that Shinn is a bitch, it got me wondering. How the hell do they pilot Gundams with that kind of control set up? I know they have 2 peddles for the feet, and some kind of control for each of the hands. But even with advance programming help and Co-Ordinator/seed abilities, they way the pilots move the Gundams is fucking space magic.

This question is also for any of the Gundam Series, not just Seed/Destiny.
