what the hell is going on in the last episode of 08th MS team?

whats with the kids?

Those Kids are newtype experiment. The Zeon people was wanting to drop them off and hid them until the time is right *ahem* 0083.

So Kiki and Michael when off looking for shiro found them and found Shiro him self later.

i downloaded the first series... or i think it is.. subbed.. found in TT
gundam sixty deuce... introduction said it was UC 0079.... so i think it's correct..... the OP had all the characters lifting their hands up to the sky.. something like that.. haha.. is it?

yep.. it is 0079 first series.. subbed... but it has 20 episodes compared to box's 15 episode.... wonder why

Here's a cutesey sock Zock for all of you...



OMG wow, it's been some time since I last visited this thread, and look how far it has gone. Been really occupied lately; work, PlaMo, getting ill, and currently doing a 100+ episode marathon of the SEED universe (maybe this is the reason I'm feeling ill lately, LOL). I see HMMaster did a similar thing too . I just want to watch the series in it's entire continuous glory, scrutinize and understand the entire thing, later burn the series' out onto DVD, and then clear out the 25gigs worth of space the SEED universe has consumed from my HDs for some better anime .

Now, without further ado, here's POST!:

Yep, the VAs for both Four Murasame and Fa Yuiry are new people. These two are major characters, so I can well imagine the fans' reaction to this if the performance by the new VAs are not up to par with the original TV series (hell, I was surprised too when I saw that message at the end of the credit roll in the second Z movie by T-N. LOL...).

And Sayla's seiyuu is no more? Damn, such a pity.

Ah, the questions about teh masked men of the Gundam Universe. A very interesting topic in actuality.

Let's start with the UC timeline first. For the case of Char Aznable, it was simple enough; to hide his true identity until he could attain his true objective within the Zeon military. In the case of Carozzo Ronah a.k.a Iron Mask, like redeye84 said before, Carozzo wears his mask in shame of losing his wife to another man, and would only take it off after the idea of Cosmo Babylonia has been realized; probably as a mean to regain his pride. As for Cronicle Asher, his mask probably is just a plain mask (although it reminds me of the mask F1 racers wear under their helmet, hee...)

As for the Alternate Timelines, we have two well-known masked adversaries: Zechs Merquise and Rau Le Creuset. Zechs mask probably functions the same way as Char's (I'm not yet sure, haven't watch the series to the end yet), and Rau? Well, that one IS a Char. Wannabe. Mot much different for Neo Roanoke too, I think. Just to hide the identity of a character that should have stayed dead for the better, and not suffer from Fukuda's Time ReUse Paradox syndrome.

And last but not least, the enigmatic Harry Ord. I personally do not consider him a villian per se, more like a fellow rival of Loran. I really like his character design. Technically his eyewear does not constitute as a mask, but that unique gear does somewhat hides his expressions effectively (akin to Char's mask probably), thus hiding any minute movements of the eyes that'll betray his emotions. The result is a stoic, calm appearance that will unnerve any adversary that confronts him in person. Probably the main factor why Harry's the one sent to negotiate with the manipulative Guin Sard Lineford.

Now THIS visual information about Delta Astray really ticked me off . The mecha designs for the SEED universe just seems to get from worst to worster. So this is my official response:

UGH. And I always thought the Astray storyline will be forever spared from bleh recycled MS designs that has plagued the TV series. I'm dead wrong now. This is the MS design joke fo the year; even the strange-looking MFs of G Gundam looked better...

I think the head is not evenly matched with the rest of the body designwise. A Zaku Warrior head might be better. And Bandai better not make the PlaMo of this particular MS, cause if they do, I'd treat it with the same amount of respect as those MythBusters pair treat their dummy Buster.

Thanks for alerting me to this horrendousness, StarGhazzer.

LOL, this reminded me of this post I saw some time ago:

Hyok. It's quite true, you know. Strike Fweedam might have those multiple beam spammers, but the amount of energy spewed out by GX's satelite cannon can make the Bloody Valentine event look like a Bon dance . And that's just ONE cannon. How about the Double X with the G-Falcon plugged to it? Shock and Awe. Instant Win.

IMHO the Dragoon system concept is unfortunately overused. When it first came out in the first series, it was a real novelty, being a complicated technology only a lucky few can utilise it, hence giving the system a sort of rare uniqueness to it. But when it got mindlessly 'mass-produced' (like everything else in the GSD timeframe) the Dragoon system turned from being a unique, significant, restricted weaponary to instant universal spamjunk, cheaper than Fllay's cosmetic set.

But seriously, when will After War Gundam X will be ported over to the Western Gundam audience? Which Gundam series is being shown over there, anyway? Gundam X should be officially released as well; let's show the SEED newbies where the design of their beloved Fweedam Gundam originally came from.

WTF? Suddenly this pops up, of all things.....

Newtypes Do Not Shag . I see no point in such tribulation. Keep shagness away from this thread, please?

And what novel were you refering to, redeye84? I demand knowledge.

I wondered why you'd began with GSD, then GSeed.

Is UC Gundam worth watching? .......... How do I answer this again, my fellow comrades? Well, like you've said; you've read through this thread, so the answer is pretty mush evident. Of course, I can't say much if you still don't get it since "you're entering the Gundam universe simply because you had nothing to do during the school holidays". (OMG this statement saddens me greatly... T_T)

But what the hey, everyone has to start from somewhere; so is UC Gundam worth watching? YES. Take a cue from tam_ironcup, who has successfully entered the realm of enlightenment.

If you really want to try out the UC timeline (after you've finished your Wing first), then The 08th MS Team is best as an entree. Then, if the UC dynamics get you interested further, then try refering to this post for additional UC package goodness.

Oh yeah, by the way: Welcome To The Gundam Universe, Dreamworks. Hope to see you more around here. (I noticed you're in the Gundam & Mecha Modeling thread too... )

BTW, tam_ironcup: What is your comment of the UC timeline so far?

LOL, if you think Gundam's story quality can be judged just by the animation quality , that's your own loss for thinking that. Trust us: never judge an anime by the animation alone. I've seen plenty blinged anime that's has nothing but toilet-spiral storytelling. GSD included, unfortunately.

Then the much-awaited third season will definitely see the light of day: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED SPAMMMED Destiny Eternity Forever And Ever And Evah... Featuring the Return Of Jesus Yamato and Sugar Mummy. Bonus!: ZGMF-XXX Eternal Freedom Gundam model Special Coating Bling Version included. Special -20% discount for fanboys. Fukuda not sold separately.

God Save Us....

continued from post above.

Congratulations to mobiusone for taking a calculated risk and getting a well-deserved profit from it. You see why UC is so great? Even ordinary people r0x0r.


As one of the One Year War OVA's, this series showcases more militaristic mecha designs and older characters. In fact, Shiro Amada is actually the oldest animated Gundam pilot at age 24. Actual mature people in MSs here, no special Coordinator-only emo brats. And the MS battles portrayed throughout the OVA series are all realistic in its pacing and execution; none of that nonsense superspeedy moves and poses seen in the SEED universe - remember, this is after all, the beginning of the age of MSs, so these MSs are all pretty creaky, scarred, grime-coated, slow-moving behemoths battling each other the old-fashioned melee way . Realistic and win? Yessir....


And about those kids, I believe you're talking about the Last Resort short movie? Redeye84 was right, those young children most probably a result of Flanagan Institute's experiments to create artificial Newtypes (a.k.a. Enhanced Humans). If you see most of the UC series', you'll notice that creating an artificial Newtype somewhat requires the erasure of past memories. Another glaring drawback of these Enhanced Humans is that they're usually emotionally unstable (many such examples seen in Zeta, ZZ and Char's CounterAttack), thus very volatile. This explains the strange behaviours and outbursts exhibited by those childrens.

Hmm, I read somewhere before that there's the TV series version of First Gundam being subbed one by one (single episode torrent); I think it was in TT too. Not sure if yours is that particular one. The episodes are ripped from LD, I think. Me gotta lurk moar soon...


Ah, me am tired of posting for today (I have to make another lengthy post in the modeling thread tomorrow...) so to end this, have a nice recruitment poster:

Enjoy.

The novel i mention its a 3 series novel call Awakening, Escalation and Confrontation, This novels are Tominos true intention of the story of MSG.

Now you dont have to find these 3 novel (unless u want to read em in Jap) ,as there is a 2nd release of a english transalted version a single novel It is compile from the 3 series novel call Awakening, Escalation and Confrontation all in one name. The names and terms are also updated to the recent MSG database e.g Jion is now Zeon.

You can check out futher details of the item here.

You shouldn't be sad you know, if it weren't for the holidays I would not have ventured into the Gundam Universe. In fact, Gundam is the very first anime I've watched

It all started when I was walking pass a console game shop and they were showing some scenes of fighting mechas, with cool audio and special effects. At first I thought it was Transformers Until my friend told me it was Gundam So I got curious and decided to watch the latest Gundam series which turned out to be Seed Destiny, then I got hooked on and started to watch Seed. Now Wing and perhaps UC, kinda stupid huh? I'm watching the Gundam series backwards

IIRC, I didn't mention about Gundam's story quality can be judged just by the animation quality Even though I can barely stand Gundam Wing, I still watch it for story's sake But it's really unbearable sometimes, especially when they show computers

Knowledge received. Mucho gracias, redeye84.

Well, I agree on that too. Sometimes life's gems are exactly right out there in the open; one must seek it out or at least stumble upon its existence on one's own, and not by intervention of others.

And this is your first anime you've watched? Wow... hard to imagine it at this time. I assume anime shown in our local TV long ago are not included? . And this is your first time watching an anime in earnest?

And about watching Gundam in an apparently reverse direction; well, as long as you're privy about the timelines (meaning which story is based in the UC timeline or otherwise, what event happened during when, understanding the various continuities, etc.) then there wouldn't be any problems watching any of the Gundam series in any order you choose; although some Gundam stories requires prerequisite series' to understand the significance of that particular story - namely, some stories will require some background knowledge to fully understand it.

So if you're interested to begin your excursion into other Gundam titles and are not quite sure which one to watch first (especially for UC timeline Gundam), just post your query here and we'll be glad to help.

Heh heh, about Sunrise's CG works, they're usually quite average compared to other anime studios that excel in it (i.e. Production I.G., Gonzo), except for some notable productions like Cowboy Bebop. Must be a budget thing .

Anyway, pardon me if I did misinterpret any of your earlier posts, composing a multiple-reply post at the wee hours of the morning tends to not guarantee a fully-awake mind.


Here's a treat for all; Tomino-sama taking a picture of his favourite Core Fighter.



And the above discussion prompts me to issue a question to all of you fellow comrades: What was your first Gundam story, when was it, what aspect of Gundam that initially draws you to it, and how did you come across the world of Gundam in the first place. It's time to reminisce about our own beginnings and share it with others.

me..

My first series was 2 years ago which is 0080 war in the pocket. I didnt quite like it but it didnt stop me from watching the others, I immetiately fell in love with Gundam right after 0083 last blitz of Zeon not stardust memory.

I love Gundam alot because of its Mecha, Action and War drama. I came across Gundam during a model convention in Singpore seeing how cool the Mecha was i decide to check out the anime.

Yup, my very FIRST anime And no, animes shown on TV are included in my statement
Hehe, I'm still fine for the time being but I think it's better for me to start watching UC from the very beginning. Heck, even my younger sister is watching the whole Gundam series backwards, must be my fault
Thanks, I believe a few people have posted the proper sequence before so it's better for me to go search out those post instead of asking again

From the few previous post b4 this.

Who said dont have Mobile Suit Gundam (the 1st series) subbed

I have it. But dont as where to find the torrent, can't remember

my first gundam anime was G gundam(yeah gundam+DBZ),not as bad as most of you think,but IT IS weird.Then i moved on into W and EW.After that i stopped watching gundam,cause i didnt bother to use my money to buy anymore anime vcds,i was still using dial up that time.

I didnt really bother to download any gundam series when i first got streamyx.Maybe because a lot of my friends are GS/GSD fans,and i think they suck like the anime itself.That time i only downloaded macross animes,because i'm hardcore fan of it.

Untill recently,i played one of the ps2 games which is something like SRW,where mechas from multiple animes are put into one game.Found out that the Nu gundam's FUUUNNEL!!! and ass bazooka is cool.Not only that,the sazabi is made of win and gold too.After that,i watched MS Igloo and found out that not all gundam series suck like SEED,and started downloading all UC gundam series.

Nu Gundam > all

afaik, for R1 DVD (US) only the dubbed ver is available.
http://www.bandai-ent.com/products/index.cfm?s=48

perhaps... the original gundam series was so old dat nobody bothered 2 subbed it...
only way is 2 buy de original dvd itself...

Yay! Just finished Gundam Wing

My my ... This series sure has lots of surprises. Some of whom I thought were bad guys turned out to be good guys in the end It's a pity that the Treize character died, I like his fancy speeches And until now, I still dunno if Zechs is to be considered one of the good guys or is he a bad guy

Will watch Endless Waltz sometime tomorrow. As for UC, it'll have to wait until I get another HDD

GW Despite getting loads of criticism, I still think GW is a good anime. At least it was very serious and stoic, and there wasn't any cheezy comical reliefs.

Trieze is a man of honour, yet the way he surrended his fight to WuFei was absolutely stupid... Jumping onto the enemy's weapon

Zechs is AC's Char... I absolutely loved his character, but I simply don't like the idea of him joining the White Fang. He fought to resurrect his fallen Sanq motherland, he fought the end the war, and yet he got brainwashed like an idiot by the White Fang and decided to follow Char in destroying Earth...

But the Tallgeese vs 30 OZ MSes fight was uberly superb... air, land and sea.... whacked Tallgeese kao kao and broke his mask... And I liked the way they broke his mask. It was a metaphor that he has now officially broken all ties with OZ, and he ain't going to hide his identity anymore... Behold Milliando Peacecraft !!

mean while...
Let's see some OVA for StarGazer... I am still not impressed, although it looked decent... Strike Noir still looks cheezy with his twin pistols... MUAHAHA I AM MAX PAYNE....
