Amphion Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 G Gundam has finally aired. Well it started a while back, but the boards where down. I received the whole series on DVD about 2 weeks ago. I have to say that I was not impressed with the series. In fact, I hate it. The story is kinda of weak. Except for the concept of each country having a fighter and all. The character designs are horrible in my opinion. I just do not like it at all. I was all hyped up over it but then I was quickly disappointed. I will just continue to watch 0083 and MSG on Saturday nights. 0083 has been the best I have seen since 08th MS Team. This is all my opinion. Feel free to disagree. I was just interested in what you all thought about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domon Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Are you crazy man? The series is AWESOME!!! I think the entire plot line is cool, i mean we've got the main character who was thrown into the Gundam Fights agains his will because it was the only way to save his father and plus he can now get his revenge. I could go on and on but i won't. I just think you should watch the series once more a pay close attention to the details in the story, believe me, after watching it and paying really good attention to the series you'll enjoy it a lot.

Amphion Posted September 13, 2002 Author Share Posted September 13, 2002 Maybe I should give the story a little more credit...but I still didnt like it. Im not that big of a fan of the AC timeline anyway. So perhaps I am a little baised here. One thing I know for a fact is, I do not like the characters. To me they were poorly designed. ITs not totally bad, it just lacks enough stuff to make it a good series. In my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 i would have to say g gundam is nice, really nice. most of the gundams were original and all did a interesting take on thier country of origin. two thumbs up! too bad neo-usa wasnt a little cooler. but the burning gundam rules!

Ben Holiday Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I feel ashamed that this series has anything to do with the gundam universe. Suffice to say I seriously disliked it and I mean all of it the storyline the gundams even the characters. 0079, Z and X will be what I stick with better characters, gundams and storylines.

NorykoAngelcry Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 [COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]I like the series. The battle scenes are pretty cool. I like the fantasy feel of the moves each of the Gundams have. It is also cool seeing all the different designs the Gundams have. Shining Gundam is pretty cool, and the Burning Gundam looks pretty sweet. I am looking forward to the next batch of shows this week. On a side note, I kind of like the love story - It isn't too cheesy in my opinion. Some shows make it more of a convenience then anything else. In this show, he sort of needs the love to help him fight stronger. Could just be me though =)[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigervx Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 It is a good serious, not a bad plot, and all the gundams are orignal. In gundam wing, wing gundam=shining or burning gundam Altron=dragon gundam epyon=master gundam. I think the series is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphion Posted September 15, 2002 Author Share Posted September 15, 2002 I agrea with Ben. When I first saw it, I had a hard time beleiving it was actually a gundam series. Some of the Gundams are pretty cool. But I cant get past the bad character desing. It almost feels like your watching Tenchi Muyo. Dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with tenchi. It just doesnt have the Gundam feel that the others have. I know its in the alternate universe but I still cant get into it. If you like it fine, but I think X would have been a better release.

spike speigel Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 i think the reason some of you guys don't like it is because it's not the traditional war storyline like all the other ones, but, I on the other hand, like that it takes a break from the war and gives the viewers something new.

Amphion Posted September 15, 2002 Author Share Posted September 15, 2002 I think your right. Thats one thing I enjoyed so much about the UC timeline. UC involves your traditional war story that more realisticly goes along with how war goes on in our present day world. I have always been a stickler(sp?) for realism. I think I overstated on some of my comments about G_Gundam. I guess the main thing is, its just not my type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinigami Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 hmm...i thought it was ok. it just has a few minor things that i dont like about it. other than that, i think its a pretty neat show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VP-Master Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 G Gundam is a great series in my opinion. The fights are exciting to watch (even tho its unrealistic to see how such heavy machinery moves so fast but it is Gundam), and the plot is decent (it couldd've been better) but they got a good storyline. One thing I dont like is how they cut out some stuff in the TV version so I hope that I can get my hands on a DVD that has subtitles. Overall, fun series to watch. Beats Gundam Wing any day (no offense to any Wing fans :P). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domon Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 I have to agree with Spike Spiegel, we all are so used to seeing the usuall gundam plot: Bad guys do an uprising, the good guys make the gundams, the gundams proceed to kick the bad guys ***, then the bad guys proceed to go mass murderer and then the gundams save the day!!! But the G-Gundam goes a little off of that kinda plot but doesn't stray too far from it because the man that originally created Gundam wouldn't let the other people stray too far from his ideas. That's at least what i read in a magazine about gundam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante the Demon Slayer Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 I personally love the show. I think it's the best gundam show since 08th ms team. Thats my opinion. I love both those series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aslo the plot is actually awsome. And the fact that the gundams look 50 times better than Gundam Wing.

Amphion Posted September 25, 2002 Author Share Posted September 25, 2002 I still do not see what is so great that puts it above the other Gundams. To me it rips of to many other animes. For instance, todays episode looked a whole lot like DBZ. Shooting energy at each other, grappling hands, Domon going into hyper mode where he morphs just like a Saiyan. I liked the other Gundams because it seems more realistic and seems to be aimed at an older more mature audience. Does anyone agrea with me or am I all alone on this one?

Domon Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 well you may not like G-Gundam but i do. I also like the UC era gundam series and the Alternate Universe series. I really like G-Gundam cause it doesn't revlove around the gloom and doom that the other gundam series seem to revolve around, G-Gundam has comedy,romance,and yes some tradgedy but throw those elements together with gundams and what do you get??? G-GUNDAM!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Well the only thing I can say about G-Gundam is that it is the show I truely love to hate. Personally the show is so weird to me, however it pays homage to past Giant Robot shows like, Shin Getta Robot, Big Robo, Gigantor, and various other ones. Also I have to say the concepts is rather original. Once you get past all the weird elements and sometimes racist stereotypes in the show its a fun ride. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domon Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 ARGH!!!!!!!! Please!!! Do not insult G-Gundam!!!! It has to be my favorite Gundam series except for the orignal Mobile Suit Gundam Movies and the 08th team and Gundam Wing!!!! G-Gundam rules!!!! Please when the series comes out on DVD please buy the DVD with the first episodes on it so then you can really appreciate the story line. Did you miss the first few episodes??? I know i did but i had read a full review on the first episode so i could keep caught up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebs Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 G-Gundam's a very cool show. The Gundams look sweet, especially Burning and Master Gundam. I've only seen one Gundam show all the way through (08th MS Team), but I think G-Gundam is better. Did anyone else notice that Allenbee Beardsly's Gundam looked like Sailor Moon?
