Sigh, another Gundam series.

One thing I dislike about Gundam anime is that a lot of things are certain facts in the gundam universe, at least the recent ones like Seed or Seed Destiny

1) Gundam are piloted by little boys/girls. Was there any explanation to why pubescent little kids are given the responsibility to pilot such weapons of mass destruction? At least with anime series' like Top wo Nerae 2 there were reasons. (Older people lose abilities to use 'Topless' powers.

2) Created with superior technology. And I'm not talking about 5~10 years ahead of everyone else, but more like hundreds of years difference. And the worst thing is, they don't explain HOW, WHO or any HISTORY behind any of the technology involved which bring me to my last point,

3) Only a Gundam can destroy a Gundam. This holds true for about 99% of all Gundam battles I've seen. It's like... sigh.. I give up trying to think...Just like this series, it takes no intelligence to enjoy it, but if you are like me, I'm constantly asking questions that this genre of series never seems to explain.
Let's hope this new one gets better.


From your statement it looks like you had only watch Gundam Seed and Destiny.. as UC gundam isnt like this all the time..

1. Read my thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/531555 for better understanding

2. Only UC gundam is only able to provide a solid explanation. Everything else have OMFG technology boom!

3. Well that only true in non UC Gundam. The RX-78 was bought down by a non gundam. And how could you forgot this!!

How do you know?? How can you be so sure? Can you trust the figures given in books?

Not everyone is like the US army who display all their l337 stuff on public TV. Most fully develop nations are cooking up something but aint telling no one.

China military strength is also very strong! They can also blow down a satellite. But most likely they wont announce all their weapon!

The UC gundam universe was much better than the recent ones I know, but the problem is, that this new Gundam series does look like it's going to turn out like the past two gundams which to me was utter bull crap. Oh yeah, and G Gundam can suck my mother garlock balls.
The animation's getting better, but the story is getting worst... it's getting so repetitive to the point where I could've not wasted 25 hours of my life watching Gundam Seed Destiny because it was basically a weird reverse version of Gundam Seed.
Heed this warning my fellow friends, awesome mecha does not make up for bad scripting, take for example Kannazuki No Miko, oh wait... that sucked in both aspects.

The original Gandam is the best

If you watch both UC and Seed, you will find that they are actually the same thing, , well, anime nowadays tend to use little kids as the heroes, ( not just gundam ), probably the anime is aim for kids that age.

Anyway, the UC one is not ( Mostly, some are exception like Gundam V )

But as you watch it, you will find that UC involve politics, human behaviour, not just Rage ( like Gundam Seed ) and UC more realistic

Sooo, do try UC before you try Seed.

I only like the short OVAs from UC. The long tv series are too "retro" and cheesy for my liking. That said, I haven't finished Zeta yet and will probably never. I think i should just watch the movies.

Seed was the death of the uber l33+ gundam story of yesteryears. And it made matters worse when newbie fans watch seed, and think all gundam was the same. I fail to see what Seed did except using uber emo kids to pilot a giant mecha to their death.

Haha, go to agree with the bit about the pilots in most of SEED (all the awesome ones went to the Astray mangas).

Too bad a lot of people saying that 00 will be Wing 2.0.

Anyone notice the title thread is kind of cool?

IMHO, Amuro and Kamille was equally if not more emo than Kira and Shinn.

The character motivations were very facepalm.jpg as well.

to me, watching Gundam was a form of release tension. just enjoy them happily be it bad or not.
why so particular about realism. u know its a fiction anyway.

But i found out that Char seem to be the most famous character in UC! He nvr pilot a gundam (is Hyakushnki a Gundam?), he acts cool and great piloting skill! And wat more he is the guy tat inspire Zench (W Gundam) to used the giant ship to knock earth!
I am also a fan of Char!

Nah, IMHO Kamille was actually right in being emo, because he knew that the war they have been fighting all these times only revolves around 2 people (Amuro and Char...that is why he went to the extent of punching Char and stuff, AFAIK), in other words, this war is only a farce.

THAT, is the right kind of emo, not teenage angst emo.

LOL....sexually....i guess they're just moving with the times. You know what they say, a woman can make a man to do the greatest or most obscene things. Last time, post WW2 era japanese talking about pacifism vs warmongers thus apathetic spacenoids like Kamille vs revolutionists like Char and warmongers like Schizziro whateverhisnamewas in TITANS.

Kamille's emo-ness is more like "I dun fckin care about TITANS, AEUG and the rest of the world....stupid grown ups....stupid wars....I want my peaceful life back. OH FCK.....TITANS killing ppl....I must stop them.....NUOOO.....WHY MUST WE FIGHT EACH OTHER?" The focus of his emo changed from revenge for his mom into.....i dunno.....convulated at this point.

doh.gif

And Hyde x Larc En Ciel wins.

Because he wears glasses, has cool hair, and is generally James Bond of the Gundam world. What's there not to like about him? And he's not emo. wink.gif

unsure.gif Huh?

Refer to above reply about Kamille. For one, the war never revolved around Amuro and Char. It was more like....TITANS were being too oppresive (America) and AEUG was against their iron-fist-rule.

Amuro and Char are just "has-been-newtypes". Old foggies who can't forget the battlefield. Anyway i haven't watched Char's Counter Attack so dunno what happened until they fight each other again.
