[B]Okay here is a fact for YOU TO GET STRAIGHT MYSTERIOUS WX. G-GUNDAM CAME OUT BEFORE STREET FIGHTER THE T.V. SERIES WAS MADE. SO IN ACTUALITY STREET FIGHTER IS A RIP OFF OF G-GUNDAM!!!! Okay now i'm mad!!! i'm going to stop posting in this for a little bit! Oh and i never called you anything. [/B][/QUOTE]
Don't be so sure of that one, both Mobile Fighter G-Gundam and Street Fighter 2 the animated series came out in 1994. If anything Street Fighter came before becuase the dubbed version of Street Fighter came over here 1994. While Mobile Fighter G-Gundam came out in 1994 in Japan. (When I say Street Fighter, I mean the movie) But that is besides the point, Mobile Fighter G-Gundam (while not my favorite anime) is a very good show. Whether or not it copied off of anything, that doesn't matter.

[B]So basically, you're admitting you're a dubbie.
[/B][/QUOTE]

Well that doesn't matter, the whole dub vs. sub thing is ridiculous. Who cares if I watch it subbed or dubbes. Maybe I prefer it dubbed. Maybe I can't get it subbed.

[B]You dont like it? Don't watch it. Simple as that.

Now here, you have a very good point. :)

Doesnt anyone realize that charactors and stories often have the same underlining concepts.

Just because you take something in a general perspective and find similarities, doesnt mean that one is copying the other.

also, just to back up and support everyone who is a real gundam fan.

IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, DONT WATCH.

[B]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. [/B][/QUOTE]

I must say that I agree and disagree with you.

Personally I agree with you that the plot was pretty weak. I think they should've worked alittle bit more on the plot, however there are [i]SOME[/i] interesting points. Other than the few points....weak plot...very weak....

Character Development...This was ify I mean they could've done a better job on it but I don't think its bad enough to draw to much attention to it.

I enjoy the Gundams, and the whole idea of the tournement. This was a great idea, and could've made for a killer plot.

Overall though I enjoy it. Its a good anime...In the Gundam series I would say its a bout average. But I judge a Gundam series alittle harder than I would say DBZ...

*finally finishes reading six pages of posts*

One, WOULD YOU PEOPLE STOP ARGUING?
Two, there's no reason to be flipping on Mstyrios WX, as the topic specifically asks for an opinion, not just why did you like it.
And three, I love this show!! It's just amazing!!! Though Domon's chara did need a little work, and whoever came up w/ the Nether Gundam should be shot.

Oh, by the way, Altron, please refrain from using the word dubbie. It sounds kinda insulting, and as the only reason most of us are what you call "dubbies" is that we can't get subs, it's rather cruel......

Yup, now they are showing G on the mid-night run and Im glad.

I actually pick up on more of the emotional side of the show the more I see it.

I really do think this is one of the best gundam shows. Maybe not to all the gundam heads that have seen all the different series. But its awesome to a guy like me who has only seen 0080, 0083, wing, the original and maybe some other stuff I'm leaving out.

I'm just saying the story is an original one, which gets big points from me since it could avoid the same old story. Plus its got a great emotional story between domon and rain, master, and kioji.

Overall, I cant stop giving G praise. Its just a great show.

Although I would be foolish if I didnt acknowledge the fact that it is still not perfect. But honestly, I dont ask for perfection. If you go into something looking for perfection, you will always be let down in the end.

So instead, Im taking it all in, waiting to see how I feel and then evaluating it. I would say G is in the evaluation stage at this point and its not doing badly at all. Or atleast not nearly as bad as some in the thread have made it out to be.

[color=red]What's great about G Gundam is that it's offbeat, weird, and different. The whole big robots with big guns versus bigger robots with bigger guns is only good when it's done right, and even then it gets old. G Gundam is different, and a refreshing change of pace.

Now, I could do without Chibidee's dubbing some days...

I also wanna say that I think the story line was good. Yea sure its not the god father.

But its not totally predictable or a complete waste.

I think they made a perfect blend of all the elements of a good anime.

story, art, charactor development, and action.

I also have to say that they do a good job with the filler eps of the series. Although not as good as the fillers in oh say, cowboy bebop, they were still good enough and far enough apart that you never really wanna miss too many eps. That is only if you've never seen it before. If its another trip through the series for you, you may wanna skip the start of the series, but otherwise, its a great series.

I'm sorta dissappointed that the discussion here has subsided so much.

[COLOR=darkblue]The series was pretty good. The begging kinda got me bored, but then I was hooked. There's no way it's better than U.C. Hands down!

As for the little argument in this thread, if you don't like a show, don't even bother with watching it, that would be complete stupidity.[/color]

I have not watched much of this series yet, but what I have seen was pretty good. I watched teh episode with Chibodee Crocket last night on Midnight Run. The fight was great, too bad it had to end with them working together instead of slaughtering eachother. Personally, if I was Rain I would have beat the hell out of every last one of those girls. :p

I wish I could see it from the beggining though, I [b]hate[/b] starting a series in the middle. If someone could PM me a run down of the plot before last nights episode, I would be eternally greatfull.

I agree with Spikey on the U.C. point though. None of the others (A.C. or A.U. or A. something) have really matched up to the U.C. But I haven't seen all of them yet. :p

I poste a long time sgo before the whole season ended and now im posting again. First of all i dont think it should matter wheter you watch it subd or dubd. Maybye some people cant get it. r, maybye some people would rather listen to the language they speak than read little words. Anyway....back to the point of this post. I personally think the show is great and is one of the best gundams ive evr seen. then again, ive only seen a few. But i think its got a great story and its fun to watch. plus i like the whole concept of the tournamnt to rule the universe. All in all, the show rules.

*realizes I never posted why I like the show*

1. Excellent storyline. Though the first five fights after the one against Neo-Italy get very annoying, always befriending the guy who's *** you're supposed to be kicking.

2. Great emotional twists and turns. The whole thing is full of emotional problems between characters, and it's just f*cking great.

3. Rain. Need I say more? :D ;)

4. The God Gundam and the Master Gundam. Again, need I say more?

There was one major problem with the show: CHIBODEE CROCKETT. Yet another "Need I say more?"....

[B]Whatever. I don't think he was rude. I think he was funny as heck. Personally i think the Gundam Maxter was pretty awesome. [/B][/QUOTE]

Well, you're allowed your opinion and I'm allowed mine.

I think the best character is Master Asia though. Stupid people, killing him off....

I like the series. When I first saw it, Neo-Japan was of the wall. Then as I watched more, I thought the fighting was cool, I mean the way the gundams go at it and it shows the pilots inside hitting each other, it is awesome.

Hey, who here's a G Gundam fan? I like it better than other Gundam series, because they don't have to rely on these giant mechs for everything. Don't get me wrong, Gundam fighting is cool, but it's good to see that all the pilots can actually fight outside their mechs. Most mech pilots are probably whimps in actual combat.

[COLOR=darkblue]I agree with you on the part where you say G-Gundam is a great anime. But the main thing I admire about G-Gundam was that it was the first Alternate Universe gundam series to air and it was one of the best gundam series. But i must say that the Original Mobile Suit gundam is rather good as well. I really can't wait for Zeta to air.[/COLOR]

G Gundam kicks ***. It is definately one of the best in the series of Gundam shows.


Has anyone else noticed that in the final episode Wing Gundam makes an appearance durning the space battle with the Colony Dark (Devil) Gundam? I think there were a few more random Gundams, from other titles, that appeared in that episode, but I forget which ones.
