Gundam, any series

[Blessed-one]

well, i already know somebody doesn't like Gundam Wing.

so, has anyone seen gundam seed? it's really good except for the ending.. but then, like all other gundam plots, which i haven't seen much, people say it's all a copy of each other's work.

One of the problems I have with the majority of the Gundam franchise is the fact that it's basically the same story told over and over again. Each version has the "Char" type character, etc.

Not to forget that Bandai's only goal with Gundam is to sell toys. They pull a lot of really good directors and animators off of smaller projects to feed the Gundam behemoth, causing delays in other animes and some to be cancelled outright.

Cartoons that sell toys = suck, for the mostpart.

I liked Gundam Wing and that was the only one I did like.

I only liked the universal century series since they were the only ones that I felt were actually plausible (in their explanations for the existence of mobile suits and such). Plus no one has ever approached the villainity of Char.

I especially didn't like Gundam Wing because of its insistence in shoving pro-peace sentiments down your throat (the universal century series argue against war too... but in a much more subtle way (most of the time)), and the way it completely ignored physics. (This two ton (way too light, by the way) completely unaerodynamic machine can fly through the air with agility because of a few rockets! Sure. I'll stick to the universal century, thank you very much.)

gundam wing was good, but gundam SEED was excellent. ALthought the plto in SEED isn't as big. The graphics, chracter development espeically, is excellent. AND, the gundams can be damaged, that is more vivid.

I'm interested in Wing

I like Wing the best. Endless Waltz was good. I don't like SD Gundam at all. What trash!

sorry for being ignorant, but could someone explain what 'Char' type character is?

um hum! imagination does not need physics.
try gundam seed Susan, it's way better in music and animation. i guess we can't really compare the plot though.

haven't seen SD gundam...

Char Aznable is a villain from the original series and perpetual nemesis of Amuro, the stories hero.

As for Gundam Wing not needing to ignore physics, normally I don't have a problem with it, except that the original series (and almost more so in other Universal Century series) was unusually committed to realism for a show about giant robots. So when Gundam Wing uses the name and ignores reality, it bugs me a bit.

I have seen Gundam and EW but I have never heard of SEED is it before or after gundem wing ? and are they the same people ie duo ,zecks ect ...

if you could let me know i am interested lol duo rocks !!!!

 

[Blessed-one]

lol, ok moonlessnight, point taken.

gundam seed is the newest gundam series, and it's not related to GW, but it's very good in plot, animation and especially the music. Check out here:

[woodstock]

wow it looks like a sweet show

 

[Blessed-one]

the main female character rocks!
yeah, it's a great show, except for a small flaw. well.. not every anime is perfect..

 

[DoomMoose]

G-Gundam NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[SniperPatrol]

I don't like G-Gundam, Gundam Wing was good and SD Gundam is total trash but I think Gundam Wing is the best.

I enjoyed Gundam Wing. In fact, enjoyed it too much because it became an obsession. I didn't pay attention to the plot or the message it was sending 13- and 14-year-old's like me. I'd tell my parents I liked it because of the art style, but that was the only "good" reason I could give. I'd obsess over the characters and the "story-line." I'd write fanfiction, draw fanart, collect images on the Internet, and let myself think nothing but things like, "Gundam Wing makes me happy." along with various other lies. It was the very first anime I was interested in, and that's all the value it has for me today. It also serves as a reminder of how low I fell and how far away from God I really was - it was the beginning of a terrible downfall. I'm sorry to say that that was the role Gundam Wing played in my life.

 

[Blessed-one]

i hope you've learnt to balance between watching anime and putting yourself for God.
otherthan that, anime is a good form of entertainment. I used to write on a GW fanfic, but never got to finish it.

 

[In Christ Alone]

Oh definitely. It's just at that time, I had no idea how to do that, I didn't know what I truely believed in. Not to mention, I was young, naive, and ignorant.

Meh, I never did finish any of the fanfic I wrote either. Lots of plot bunnies though.

It's been said that the reason so many girls like GW (one of the few Gundam programs to attract a female audience) is because of the yaoi undertones in the characters and their design.

 

[Susan]

Yeah. . .I really don't think we need to discuss *ahem,* you know. . .that kind of thing here.

There's a debate on *ahem,* that subject that's gone on since June at otakuboards. . .my point being, that is a great topic for an argument since there are people who like it, people who hate it, and everything in between. Debating it only leads to fights and strife.
