  • Cybernator.

  • Gundam as a franchise always does well to make you sympathize with the enemy.

  • @NotTheWheel It's called good story telling and good character development.

  • One viewer couldn't slow his Zaku down in time.

  • Remember, the ship always has spares copies of all your weapons. Feel free to discard them whenever you wish.

  • 23:25 for mobile-suit-scale Dopp.

  • 10:08 is the manliest animation I've seen in my life.

  • Lol i noticed this right away but inuyashas voice actor is in this anime

  • holy shit os that picollo

  • Comment removed

  • apparently being optimistic keeps you alive

  • God damn that intro

  • Amaro is so suprised by coffee beans.......

  • The animation is a bit hard to follow and watch, but this is a damn good series.

  • I guess all enemies (zeon) are butt-ugly. Typical.

  • @ICRSHDRMS Char disagrees.

  • @ICRSHDRMS Fed suits (outside of gundams) aren't that impressive...

  • i got first dislike for this video........... ftw hahaha

  • @TheElite720 You villain!!

  • ocean dub does the voices, right? is that why they all have canadian accents?

    agayn, agaynst

  • Who are the two voices at 6:55?

  • @Happypieguychan Sounds like Scott McNeil. Not sure who the second guy in that scene is voiced by, but I think the Capsule pilot might be voiced by Steve Blum, but don't quote me on that one.

  • I like that their most important pilot is acting as a steward in the start of this episode I picture it going down like this:

    Bright: go hand out food Armaru(SP)

    A: but why?

    B: because I do not respect you.

  •  14:37, derp.

  • Does the guy on the monitor sound like wolverine from x- men evolution at 5:26 to 5:38

  • @ThunderBlade96 That's because it is him.

  • Shoooo!

  • they're voices actually match them...unlike some of the gundam wing charecters

  • HAHHAHAAH, BROWNY POINTS!!! GO CHAR!!

  • Old Guy has got a lot of pride for the EARTH... i like him!! Ohh yeah the similarities in voices are striking... Even Amuro sounds exactly like Setsuna!! And the Captain of the Salamis sounds like the Mercenary guy Sachez!!

  • @Chaossiege801x Brad Swaile voiced Setsuna and Amuro, so of course they sound the same... And this came out first, so technically Setsuna is the one who sounds like Amuro.

  • i swaer shes says amruo one more time im gana.....

  • that second guy to talk in the salmis has the voice of zechs from gundam wing. so this is where they found him

  • "Oh no I missed! If only I had a spare bazooka with me!" This dub is so corny.

  • Jeez... these old episodes... back when Amuro WASN'T an arrogant, selfish asshole!

  • Has anyone ever noticed how Haro has lived through almost every gundamn series..at least the english one's that have played here in the US? I think its cool because its Sunrise's way of reminding us who started all of this...Amuro Ray..

  • FUCKING COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!

  • 07:04 comander zexh's?

  • I swear there was a redone version of this series. I played a Gundam game, the federation vs Zeon, Jeourney to Jaburo, and they had animated cut scenes from, what I thought, was the show. If they did redo this and air it again it would totally be a hit all over again I think. But was this redone?

  • I can't believe how many voice actors we're familiar with did voices in Gundam! That was the dude who did Dinobot, Ratrap, and all those dudes from Beast Wars! And all those other great shows. So wicked!

  • @Krafterr4 I remember him best as Duo Maxwell, my favorite character in my first mech anime. Have to say, it's always nice to hear voice actors from the old Toonami days. I just find it strange that American animation has seemingly all gone into Pixar. Much as I love anime, there used to be a good number of stuff made here in the states that was respectable. And I don't think too many anime are aired these days, either. Wonder why television has dumbed down so much..

  • def singing these songs in karaoke soon

  • The Legendary Amuro :D! My favorite Pilot of all time!

  • 3:09 to skip intro and ads

  • its almost hard to believe that amuro and setsuna hav the same voice actor

  • Reentry Plastic wrap FTW!

  • This Gundam series Gundam Wing and G Gundam are the best. well for me ;)

  • @kkoloftt i grew up watching wing so it is close to me too, but i think i like this best because of the games i played on my ps2, like zeonic front and journey to jaburo

  • @SumthingStupid123 journey to jaburo omg nostalgia trip

  • i guess you could call the gundam series the japanese startrek, or more recently more like the japanese starwars (the first triology pwns ass, then the rest just suck ballz, like seed, and the new triology prequel)

  • lol when i heard the opening theme i was like wtf

    but now it feels like the song is bad-ass for some reason

  • i can recognize like 90% of there voices from wing lol

  • @mstrofthunvrse because same company translated it and used same voice actors? ;] you probably gonna hear same voice in all gundam series

  • @mstrofthunvrse Wing was dubbed first, after all.

  • south america in 1979? cold war much?

  • @alphonse123456789 It doesn't take place in 1979 though...

  • At first the opening was rediculous I was LOL and really disappointed of the quality of opening songs, but I got over it.

  • I remeber seeing this gundam and gundam wing when I was five it was AWSOME! But yeah, good times like Cyborg 009 or DB(Z) or anything else on Toonami. Daangit why do they always take away the good stuff! Now-a-days they got some really stupid shows like DBD, Dude, and like Problem Solvers. What are they trying to do to kids make'em into retards who know of sex, credit cards, cursing, drugs, and death. LightHawknight Char's troops only have a set number of Zaku's, why 3 IDK.

  • What is with the 3 Zakus, they should learn that more are needed.

  • @LightHawKnight They only have a few Mobile Suits to use. This isn't like Zeta or Wing, Mobile Suits are new and even the Zaku is to some extent experimental.

  • @Godof0Thousand Which has anything to do with learning from past mistakes? Even if the Zaku is still experimental, they should know they need more if they keep losing. Though getting more would be a problem, wouldn't hurt to save them and wait for another battle.

  • @LightHawKnight They didn't have the time to wait. White Base was faster than any Musai. Besides, the first couple times Amuro won by luck alone. From Char's point of view to lose to an opponent like that was a personal failure (especially if he needed two groups of Zakus).

  • It may be cheesy, but damn, that opening is catchy!

  • @JupiterAdept32 hell yeah. i dunno how but i can always listen to it and not get sick of it

  • HOLY FUCK COFFEE BEANS!!!

  • I've never seen the original gundam before but it's amazing how much Seed copies every single event, just that Seed has more angst and drama.

  • 06:56 sounds like Wolverine is on board

  • @Indaros In Gundam dubs, Wolverine is always on board. xD

  • @Indaros don't you mean piccolo from dbz? that is the guy that did the original voice for him

  • dem soots look like old transformers

  • did he use a condom for re-entry? lol

  • Comment removed

  • 18:58, Amuro is such a badass, he reads a book when re-entering earths atmosphere.

  • I wish I could FF to the show, but then the buffer sticks, I have to reload and then watch the fuckin' commercial AGAIN. And I have listen to that awesome theme song.

    "Kobiyashi Doo! Kobiyashi Gaa! Kobiyashi Goo Gun-Dammu!" I fucking dream about that song and wake up in cold sweats. Either way, this is cool as shit.

  • its piccolo

  • i cant help you krown but dont worry you're death wont be in vain <--- laughed out loud at that

  • 3:19 to skip preview, theme song and summary

  • how come some areas have artifical gravity and others dont?.....or is it just cos they got lazy animating full zero gravity walking effects?

  • the guy at 7:07 sounds like Zechs :D

  • @MakeyouMessi S'cause it is. The guy who voices Duo Maxwell is the guy he's talking to and obv. Quatre is Amuro. xD

  • This really makes me want to buy some UC model kits.

  • gundams have come along way since this show and are still going strong

  • after seeing the entire gundam series all the way up to Char's Counterattack, the ending song makes me so sad. :(

  • I have been watching episodes and the theme song is starting to get pretty catchy.

  • @freedommk5 the first time i was like man this is annoying but now it is completely awesome

  • "I have no shield!" lol I love this show

  • i think the direction was better, handrawn or not you can make good anime with an awesome director.

  • Maybe its just me, but I prefer this artwork to newer anime. Even if it is choppy, or it reuses animations, this was all still HAND DRAWN. It adds a human element to the show, makes it more unique. It flows better, it communicates themes better, and sure at times its cheesy and corny, but this is still somehow better. Its more original, its more human, and less robotic. You know what I mean?

  • Yea, I do. This is totally lame, but 11 years later I continue to be a Pokemon fan, (first 3 gens) and midway through season 3 I believe it was, they switched from hand-drawn to computerized. It's a HUGE difference. The different coloration, shading, art style as a whole, causes a major shift in the feel of the show. Hand-drawn anime just feels more organic I guess, and for people who knew anime before, it's the more familiar look and feel.

  • I wouldn't say I prefer it but I do like it.

  • @LessThanCool I think it's better because all the characters look different from each other. The reason I say this is because in newer anime you see they have similar faces yet they alter (e.g colour of eyes/style of hair) it so they can look a little different, all in the name of making them look all pretty.

  • @LessThanCool I know what you mean and I agree with you, but I think there's a middle ground where it's still hand drawn but not quite so choppy : /

  • @LessThanCool The original Mobile Suit Gundam struck a perfect balance between hand drawn and computer imposed images.

    

  • "And that's when I found out that the DNA evidence was tampered with!"

  • SD gundam is the real gundam!!

  • son, i think you are too YOUNG to understand the maginicent artwork of this masterpiece. Back in 80s, this WAS the best anime with the best graphics and sound effects.

  • @syado429 my age has nothing to do with it, I've watched a lot of shows from this era and earlier and theres no doubt this looked damn good for its time. and im not saying it sucks cuz obviously i like it or i wouldnt watch it. im comparing it to 00 cuz someone said theres "more attention to detail in this than newer shows" and thats retarded.. the animation here takes some getting used to and at sometimes its just laugh out loud funny but its not bad.

  • *sigh* i sure miss all these gundam shows.....

  • Oh, and plastic baggy reentry =Win

  • So i'm a total gundam noob in every sense of the word. But I need to ask- is this series where I should start off?

  • yes its like the first

  • @swik9880 Yep, this is what pretty much started the franchise off.

  • @swik9880 Absolutely :)

  • yes! by all means yes, gundam 8th ms team is pretty tight as well i suggest checking that one out too

  • it wont let me download this video useing the youtube downloader I have. Can anyone tell me why, need help

  • haha lol

  • lol i love the plastic blanket that he puts over the gundam

  • haha me too.

    I was such a big fan of the Gundam Hammer, too bad he lost it throughout the entire series.

  • surprisingly its almost like theres more attention to detail in the old series than there is in the newer ones.

  • attention to detail?? are you stoned? look how awkward their leg animations are when they run. sometimes the characters hardly blink. theres only like 2 different animations for mouth movement. space looks bland. i see reused action sequences.. watch gundam 00 the detail in that is beyond belief.

  • @astrosaki plot detail, not visual detail. What do you expect from a show that first aired in 1979?

  • @seiferdante1000 plot detail... like what? i didnt expect too much from the animation and im only comparing it to 00 because that guy said it seems like theres more detail in this than newer shows like 00 which sounds really stupid..

  • I totally agree with you!!!

  • lol gundam 00 is recent though this was released in 1979 which means Gundam 00 looks better, and if it didnt it would be a total fail, and it was harder back than to release anime so go easy on this series :P

  • oh.. in that case, my bad- just by reading your comment, i thought you were dissing this anime. You're right. Of course, comparing this to the latest anime would be laughable. I mean.. seriously??

  • @syado429 haha nooo way i loooove gundam

  • lol. well, same here :D

    hahaha sorry for misunderstanding-

    i just love to stand up for my anime.. :P

  • @syado429 haha good passion!

  • @astrosaki attention to detail isnt about effects dummy it means how much was put into it like involving many things they just take for granted in other shows, and yes i have seen 00, but for a show this old its just crazy that they thought so similarly now and back then, im not talking about animation

  • @schweiny91 thats kinda vauge lol what was put into it? what details? the stars? lol

  • @astrosaki like they focus on more of the little stuff like, how hard it is to operate the gundam, the machinery inside it breaking, stress im sure theres more

  • @schweiny91 the physics are very good.

  • I am slowly finding all of the voice actors that were in Gundam Wing in this series too. How amusing,...I've found Quatre (duh) WuFei, Zechs and Duo! xDD

  • Know whats funny about youtube? Videos will get deleted if you don't have an commercials in between....

  • I noticed something when the colony was dropped on the Earth. Sort of like what happened in Gundam Wing, scratch that when the colony was dropped on Earth in Gundam Wing had happened in Mobile Suit Gundam before.

  • T-Mobile Sucks!!

  • 7:18 ... do i recognize Scott McNeil's voice?!?! O_o

  • I find it astounding how coherent the dialogue is for an animated show from the 70's like this.

  • @13orch

    now u know how mobile suit gundam became the most godly anime ever created

    i would even call it one of the most godlike anime ever created

    yes, its beyond evangelion, infact gainax themselves puts evangelion third on their own list of mecha rankings (see shopping arcade episode 3)

    gundam, the god of mechas

  • For anybody that doesn't like the intro music,it stops at 03:05.

  • @mikall1  or they could just kill themselves, music is epic. Gundam Forever!

  • Cartoon network has been in decline all decade. They've tried too many original programming that didn't pan out.They need more action/adult themed shows like Darker Than Black and Ergo Proxy and fewer re-runs of King of The Hill/Family Guy.

  • Even if Cartoon Network had a good show or a good line-up of shows they lack consistency playing them. In a era were people don't have the patience/schedule to watch a program daily, Cartoon Network would frequently change their line up, especially Adult Swim. I use to watch Cowboy Bebop and other anime shows. One show would be at eleven then in a few weeks move to one, or be canceled, then they'll spontaneously bring back the show. It's hard to be an anime fan

  • Toonami aired up to around episode 35 and for some odd reason stopped airing them after the 9/11 attacks. I remember being so pissed because then I had to order the DVD's!!!! I searched the net at the time and found no explaination other than rumors about CN wanting to tone down violent shows. Who knows but thanks to AnimeChannel for posting this!

  • 6:37 char's epic pose

  • Comment removed

  • I'm starting to like the opening. Its great when they raise their hands for some reason :)

  • comment bookmark

  • hell didnt they take seed of the air too?

  • for its time, this was lightyears ahead of its time so stop complaining :D

  • I remember when cartoon network aired this back in 2001. The network stopped airing shortly after the Septer 11. I don't think the network ever managed to show it in its entirety. It is nice to finally see all the episodes (it would be nice if sunrise got ahold of the rights to episode 15 at some point).

  • @MrPartisanhack ya its was because 9/11 that cause the 0079 series to stop arring.. they said for some reason that it was offesnsive to 9/11 so they stopped airring it...

  • Lol.. so every time the 9/11 victims see a building destroyed they will automatically fall into a manic depressive state?

    =P

  • yes sir.. that was the problem that caused this gundam series to be cancelled cartoon network.. something else in this show did something as well.. but yeah people are just ignorant...

  • Comment removed

  • yeah, its also bullshit because I'm watching cartoon network in england... yet 9/11 was in america... im sure you can see where I'm going with this.

  • Typical... So they're allowed show the actual video of the planes hitting the towers, but not a simple animation..

  • Hell yeah! They got rid of the episode in pokemon where the Tentacruels were destroying buiding because of 9/11.

  • Comment removed

  • @Narutofan2099 wait they stopped airing that episode causeof 9/11?

  • @MrPartisanhack haha yea i remember, i thought this show was lame, i was a lil agnat

    kid, this show is fkin cool i can really say that i appreciate it now...hahah dont judge my spelling or gramer. peace and blessings..

  • they aireed this? I only remeber Mobile Suit Gundam Wing being on there...

  • they aired 0079, 0080 VERY VERY BRIEFLY, 0083 twice, that G gundam crap, 08th MS Team, and that Seed faggotry.

  • @MrPartisanhack I don't get why they couldn't show the whole thing after 9/11

  • @JDM408 Due to the terroristic attacks on the World Trade Center, many thought that airing a show based on war and the "terroristic" attacks by Zeon would upset viewers. Or something like that, it was a bit overboard IMO.

  • @MrPartisanhack Why would the people that made the show not have the rights to one of the episodes?

  • @MrPartisanhack dude, Sunrise made Gundam, they have the rights lol

  • @Shinigami186 Not in America. They can't release episode15 because, while they have the rights in Japan, they don't have them in America, don't ask me how that works, I don't know.

  • now I can watch the whole first series :D thank you! and also I saw the unicorn episode, took my breathe away

  • is it bad that I watch the unicorn gundam advertisement every episode but skip the shows intro theme every episode?

  • @NoUploadsEver the intros annoying...so its not bad.

  • no because unicorn is badass

  • @NoUploadsEver lmfao, I do too.
