Anime Differences

[Desiivy]

I don't know this will probably get closed but,
I need to ask
I am first of all yes a total newbie I know next
to nothing about Gundam period.
The only bit I have seen
is what's been showed on Toonami
a series called G Gundam.
My question relates to the different series,
G Gundam, or Gundam Wing, Gundam Mobile suit,
are they all separate or what???
Have they shown any others besides
G Gundam, here in America????
Please don't get upset I am asking because
I really don't know,
I have avoided this question because
I was afraid that I would be laughed at.
For my stupidity Thank you, Desirae

Yes, G-Gundam is totally different from Gundam Wing. They are all in alternate Universes. And to answer you other question, Yes. Toonami has aired Gundam Wing, the original Mobile Suit Gundam, 08th team, and then G-Gundam.

The best way for me to break it down to you is this. There are two time lines in Gundam Universal Century, and AC which is sort of like an alternate universe to certain gundam shows.

It goes like this.

Universal Century: Mobile Suit Gundam, Gundam Zeta, Gundam ZZ, Gundam 8th MSTeam, Gundam 0080, Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory, Gundam Victory and Chars Counter Attack. Each of these Gundam shows revolve around the Federation vs. Zeon wars.

The you have the Alternate Universe or AC timeline shows which don't have any relation to the each other or the UC timeline. They consist of: Gundam Wing, G-Gundam, Gundam X, Turn A Gundam, Gundam Wing Endless waltz.

Hope that helps. And don't feel stupid for asking a question...>.> everyone is new to anime and Gundam at sometime. ;)

Actually, AC (After Colony) only applies to Gundam Wing and GW:Endless Waltz. G Gundam uses "Future Century" IIRC:

Hmm I could of sworn G Gundam used the AC timeline howver if your watching the dubbed G-Gundam they changed the timeline for all intents and purposes, so it depends on what version you watch...-__- its not really important though. Since O.o it still falls under the alternate universe timelines which was what originally the point of my post.

Umm, Well thank you it all seems so confusing to me.
But, so many of these amine shows are like that, not many
of the American based cartoon shows are like that, run in continuation like that. (Which is one reason I like Amine)
But also makes it harder to catch up, if you come in the middle.
DBZ was my first, "Great Saiyman saga" like a year ago, and annoyed ton of people on the dragon ball forum, until I knew almost everything about it I possibly could about. but the thing with DBZ, unlike Gundam, DBZ is played so much. What with them re starting the entire series last summer.
The only Gundam I have ever come across is G Gundam. I guess the only thing I can do is wait and hope they replay more.
I'm sure I could find them on DVD, but I can't spend $25, for three episodes. Well, not since I have already gotten DBZ 1-110 and 180-276. I plan on getting them all.:naughty: [/SIZE] [/FONT] [/COLOR]

Well you can rejoice. Gundam Zeta will be airing later this year. Although you should watch the original Gundam so as to know about the Federation vs. the zeon war.

Hey hey! what's this O___o Rick Hunter you fool! j/k, you forgot to mention, Gundam SEED, Gundam F91, and G-Savior in your list!!!

You also didn't mention the different movie verions of some of the series/ovas which really doesn't matter, neither does the fact that you didn't mention Gundam SEED, Gundam F91, or G-Savior lol. I just felt like pointing that out. But I guess you were just trying to get a general idea across so no harm done ^_^.

I would merely like to state that there are a ton of mangas to check into about the Gundam series that might give some light on your confusion. Plus, Gundam Zeta has been postponed in the US until 2004.
