  • one of my favorites.

  • oh the nostalgia

  • Damn I miss toonami brig it back

  • That was the lamest "yahoo" I've ever heard.

  • Wonder if Cartoon Network will pick up Gundam AGE when it comes around. I know gundam over all doesn't do very well in the states. Which makes me sad.

  • Bernie = Hamburger Meat

  • optimus makes all shows on AS and toonami sound bad ass

  • OPTIMUS PRIME TALKING ABOUT ROBOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Peter Cullen just added a whole other level of awesome when he did promos for Toonami.

  • i love how optimus prime does the commercial

  • When I have kids, I'm not gonna let him or her watch the stupid cartoons today. I'd actually only let them watch classic Cartoon Network shows and Toonami shows.

  • @Pinkergloop Same here dude. If I have kids, I would only let them watch all of the shows I grew up with too, ESPECIALLY the Gundam TV shows, Robotech, and any and all robot anime, as well as YuYu Hakusho, the original Dragonball Z and Ronin Warriors and Outlaw Star.

  • Can anyone tell me the name of the blue zeon mobile suit in this film? I watched the series, but missed the name of that particular unit.

  • @Dragonian05 MS-18E Kampfer

  • @Dragonian05 MS-18E Kempfer (I'm not sure if I spelled the name right, but the designation is right)

  • This is what I note as the greatest entry in the Gundam Franchise. In terms of Story, and Emotional Investment, nothing else tops this.

  • "In war, everyone is a casualty." Damn. Fucking goosebumps bro.

  • The Federations Secret Weapon...THA GUNDAM you Gotta love that

  • i rember seeing this promo a long time ago. the good old days of cartoon network. for thoes of you wondering why they took it off the air it was because of 9/11. cartoon network dident want to show anything violent. and they cancled the 8th ms team cuz it glorifyied gorilla warfair

  • G_G_G-GGG_G GUNDAM...

  • And year ago at an Anime con I got a hold of the complete seris, but I remember staying up just to watch this show ahhh. Its toonami's falt I became a dihard Gundam fan. ^^

  • And year ago at an Anime con I got a hold of the complete seris

  • Man I first recall watching this anime way back in early 2001, I was about 9 or 10 in 4th grade at the time... It was midnight on a weekend & after turning off the PS2 (I was playing Dynasty Warriors 2) my TV was on CN & the 2nd half of episode 4 to 0080 was airing... That disturbed me quite a bit @_@

    But having re-experienced the episode on the complete DVD set 10 years later... Not as much shock value, though the anime is still great regardless, so much better then Seed, Destiny & 00...

  • @GinkoArtEtc Ive never watched 0080 so I cant say anything. But, Seed was alright, just bigass whop of drama. I wasnt feeling destiny. And 00, I have to say it the closest modern day wing, I cant even lie its pretty good. So dont doubt some of the series today, theres some potential

  • @bboydigital 0080 was probably the only gundam that's made me cry, the ending makes you feel it

  • @danielvutran

    That can be arranged... Am I supposed to do anything? I'm not paying child support.

  • Why does T.V. suck so much now in comparison to back then?

  • another reason why mobile suit gundam was removed from cartoon network was because of the 9/11 attacks

  • @sicnarfkcin Yes and that makes me so angry. Because of that, and those fucking soccer moms, Bandai will NEVER release anymore Gundam figures over here in the States anymore. The only way you can get them is online from Japanese websites.

  • @MysticArksRevenge the gundam series do not air on tv anymore is also because of low ratings due to kids not understanding the story in my opinion. I also think gundam figures do not sell well in the U.S. is due to low sales.

  • @sicnarfkcin It is because the fools here in the U.S. prefer action figures of SUPERHEROES and Transformers more than Gundam. Assholes... No wonder why I cannot stand the U.S. anymore...

  • @MysticArksRevenge Yes because Gundams are a much more sophisticated art form then superheros and transformers.

  • @WhenYouveGoneGuru I agree. I love every single other Japanese Mecha series. Votoms, L-Gaim, Macross, Vifam, Dragonar, Dunbine, the list is endless.

  • @MysticArksRevenge I was being sarcastic...

  • @WhenYouveGoneGuru Figures. Well, what you said IS TRUE.

    I am not a fan of anything you Americans like. I swear, everything that the U.S. is into (except Transformers and G.I. Joe) is crap.

  • @MysticArksRevenge Didn't you just bash transformers in the first message? The DC animated universe is kick ass. The later seasons of Justice League and several Batman TAS episodes are easily as nuanced and political as the average mecha series (remember for every Evangelion there's a G Gundam). Taste is taste, but seriously generalizing mecha as high art is bullshit.

  • @WhenYouveGoneGuru So what? I don't fucking care. Everything... EVERYTHING that America does, including DC and MARVEL is bullshit. I rather live in a country that likes and honors mecha suits and robots that god-damn superheroes, superheroines and likes everything that is cheesy and stupid! America has already gone to Hell in the entertainment industry these days (as well as in the past). If America cannot learn to be more like Japan , then what is the point of me even liking the stupid-ass USA?

  • @MysticArksRevenge Oh I get it you're a weeaboo. Your post makes me wonder if you know anything about japan besides anime and a sanitized version of their culture. Did you know If you went to Japan your children would need to go to a special Amerasian school so they wouldn't get their asses kicked for not being Japanese? Japan has rampant racism and sexism. Not to mention alchoholism and epidemic suicide rates. Don't get me wrong there are many admirable things about Japan but utopia it is not.

  • @WhenYouveGoneGuru So what?! I rather be a fucking weeaboo than a motherfucking PATRIOT LIKE YOU!

    I am so sick of people like you littering the Internet that hates people that are closed minded and always come up with the stupid as fuck Memes and hurtful terms such as WEEABOO. The Internet was much better before stupid ass girls and men like you started to come around! In fact, I hope that SOPA act passes, that way, it can get rid of all of you and leave the Internet to the government only!

  • @MysticArksRevenge What right do you think you have to call anyone stupid or close minded? In this entire exchange you haven't come close to anything resembling a rational argument. All you've done is over and over again insist that things you don't like are "stupid". That's not open minded, its childish.

  • @WhenYouveGoneGuru And I didn't come up with the term Weeaboo, the Japanese did bro.

  • @WhenYouveGoneGuru Wait actually I can't find the origin of the term. Move to japan then let me know what everyone calls you.

  • @WhenYouveGoneGuru anyway I wasn't out to pick a fight here. I'm just gonna say that you're coming across as a very close minded and dogmatic person, and that seems to be making you extremely angry bitter and hostile. You'd probably find your stress levels drop dramatically if you loosen up a little and try to see what it is people enjoy about the things you dislike rather then just dismissing it all as "stupid".

  • @MysticArksRevenge also Japan has their fair share of asinine superheros. Dragon Ball z anyone?

  • @WhenYouveGoneGuru Fuck you. It is better to have those kind of super heroes than the stupid superheroes that say CATCHPHRASES!!

  • @MysticArksRevenge Are you just trolling? The "Z Fighters" say a catchphrase every time they do an attack. 

  • *cries* i want to see these again!!!!!!!! Damn you Cartoon Network!! You suck!

  • best line ever! "in war everyone's a casualty"

  • May Toonami Forever live on in our Memories!! RIP Tom and the Absolution!

  • I used to stay up all night watching this. This is my childhood right here.

  • damn why cartoon network you bastards why did you kill off Tom and Toonami and The Midnight run you dirty bastards i was hoping my five year old son could have watched awsome shows but no you had to take that away from me and him

  • i hated that fact that this was a midnight run only show i couldn't get my parents to budge on my bed time if it met my life. now im more then old enough to stay up until the the cock crows. and what do you know... toonami is gone forever.

    thanks mom and dad for making me go to bed so can have a working brain to go to school get my education and graduate with honors instead of letting me stay up for one of the most epic cartoon shows of it's time... yeah much appreicated

    -___-

  • @captainz33

    Damn...that sucks dude....missing the show I mean.

  • DudE I spent my childhood living in the US before coming back to Malaysia and i remember this guys cold dead voice for promos until Today ... I especially liked 08th ms team for midnight run and remembered stayimg up all tanked on coke to watch it because it was unlike anything i had ever seen before !!!!

  • Zieg Zeon

  • "....the price of failure.... Nuclear annihilation.." Goddamn.

  • @PatrioticAnarchist that was the part that gives me goosebumps in the promo. bernie is, in my opinion, the greatest hero of any gundam series.

  • "In war, everyone's a casulty" might be my favorite Toonami tag line.

  • lol it's Peter Cullen

  • puta madre que pinche coraje el puto cartoon network de mexico es una mierda y hacho a perder el toonami, que asco como me habria gustado poder ver estas series en toonami mexico, ala mierda cabroon networks

  • is this war in the pocket or is that different ?

  • @shellcracker18 yeah its war in the pocket.

  • @shellcracker18 Yes, this is "War in the Pocket".

  • they need to re air this shit. I garentee cartoon network would get triple it's daily audience if it did a gundam marathon

  • @KingLazerman

    you would think that, but all the tards who are used to the trash that's on now would pull a wtf juice moment can bitch about it , would be nice to see again on tv though

  • any1 knw the year this took place ?

  • @Animekingification

    late uc 79 to early uc80

    gundam nt alex aka the redesigned rx-78-4

  • God, this was the worst Gundam series ever.

  • @hulkmeister23

    Oh, please. Seed, Seed Destiny, and G Gundam fall *far* behind this one. Just because 0080 wasn't entirely action oriented doesn't make it a bad series. It's nice to see that the writers actually considered and developed how normal life could possibly play out in one of the Gundam universes, which is far more than I can say for any of the ones I mentioned earlier and even a few others. And the artwork was amazing.

  • @Agonysis You would dare speak such blaspheme against G Gundam? That series was epic, how dare you say it was inferior to this crap!

  • @hulkmeister23

    How dare I? Easily.

    I don't think G Gundam was bad, per se (unlike the others I listed), but my point still stands. 0080 wasn't a bad Gundam series either.

  • @Agonysis it wasn't bad, it was god awful. When u watch a Gundam series, u kinda expect a lot of action and a good story. This show had neither.

  • @hulkmeister23

    No action? Any battle in 0080 was way better than any I've seen in G Gundam. There could have been more action but I've already said, it was not action oriented. It wasn't the main driving point.

    That's like saying that Spirited Away is a terrible film because there's next to no action in it.

  • @Agonysis I wouldn't go so far as compare this to Spirited Away. I'm no fan of either, but if given a choice, I'd much rather watch Spirited Away.

  • @hulkmeister23

    And you want story?

    While a Zeon team attempts a suicide mission to destroy the new Gundam, a boy learns that war isn't so black and white with one of his friends on either side of the battle, killing each other. Now, compare that to, oh, I don't know, there's this guy trying to become the best fighter so he can save his brother from evil Gundam cells. Yeah.

  • @Agonysis Obviously you've only seen G Gundam in passing. The story is just as much about pain and loss as 0080. Domo has to fight his brother, loses his mother, his father is arrested for a crime he didn't commit, is betrayed by his mentor and forced into fighting and ultimately killing both him and his brother in a bid to save the world, and learn about self discipline, while discovering love from the one person who was always by his side. Compare that to 0080? Yeah, that's a tough one.

  • @msbates1983

    I have to admit I've never finished G Gundam and that I was dumbing it down to make emphasis and reduce size, but the point I was trying to make was that 0080 has a decent story for 6 episodes.

    And I'm definitely not comparing either to Spirited Away. That was mentioned to prove that something doesn't need to be action oriented to be worthwhile entertainment.

  • Comment removed

  • @Agonysis

    I consider 0080 the best Gundam oriented show (and Zeta Gundam the best TV series). It packs quite some action, a lot of personal drama and shows the destruction it doesn't `spare' a realistic amount of civil casualties, true to the spirit of the other 80's shows (MS Gundam, Zeta, ZZ gundam, Char's CA).

    But G-gundam is quite nice to... good characters, nice story, the right amount of drama. I didn't expected it, but I liked it. You just have to see past the mecha-DBZ theme.

  • Peter Cullen's voice-over work (music, too) always made the Toonami promos work for me. No sooner had he finished narrating one teaser, I just had to watch whatever Anime/Cartoon Toonami hyped up on their lineup...

    I wish Gundam hadn't lost its popularity here in the States after Wing - the franchise has so many great series worth a look besides Wing/00.

  • is that optimus prime narrating??

  • Could anyone tell me what type of gundam is at 0:9, its freaking kickass

  • @J0EZOMBIE It isn't a gundam. It's Zeons Hygogg fighting GMs.

  • @Zacooter ah thanks a lot  :D

  • @J0EZOMBIE RX-78NT1

    Gundam NT1

    this Gundam was intended to be used by Amuro Ray

  • fucking chowder hail toonami

  • I really wishes cartoon network still showed shows this great!

  • Is that optimus narating

  • @lightningGundam yup, it's the voice actor for Optimus

  • Mobile Suit Gundam >> 08th MS Team >> Gundam 0080 >> AC Gundam (Wing and Endless Waltz) >> G Gundam >> Seed >> Gundam 00

    I dunno about you guys, but this is the order I'd watch them in, Kinda makes the most sense to me.

  • @LuckySevenSamson all the shows ( UC ) in chronilogical order are Mobile suit Gundam, MS IGLOO, 08th MS team, Gundam War in the Pocket, Gundam Stardust Memory, Zeta Gundam, ZZ Gundam, Char's Counterattack, Gundam Unicorn, Gundam F91, and finally V Gundam. then spin offs like Wing gundam, G gundam, Gundam 00, and the dreaded SEED with its almost infinite continuations for some reason...

  • i wish cartoonetwork will come to their senses and realise the shows their airing now do have nothing on was they aired back in the day

  • i luv this guys voice SOOO much....brings back memories of the golden years of cartoon network.

    "...the federation's secret weapon: THA GUNDAHM"

  • @KingdomAtWar This is kinda toward anyone who knows, but who is the narrator of this?

  • @J0EZOMBIE

    Peter Cullen

  • @KingdomAtWar He was the original voice of Optimus Prime in the original Transformers, and also the voice they brought back for the past 2 movies

  • @KingdomAtWar its Peter Cullens voice aka OPTIMUS PRIME!

  • @KingdomAtWar Hes the same guy who voices Optimus Prime from Transformers, Peter Cullen

  • im so glad my kids are going to be raised on gundam dvds rather than the utter SHIT being shown to children on tv these days.

    "daddy why doesn't our tv have all the channels the other kids at school watch at home?"

    "sorry son, something to do with electromagnetic interference in the area we live. you wouldn't understand."

    he'll thank me when he grows up.

  • "The minovsky particle density is too great, son! Lower the bridge! Tell Amuro to stand by in the Gundam!"

    "What?"

    "JUST DO IT, MIRAI!"

    xD

  • Pingun you will be a great parent. Bright slap your kids when they get out of line.

  • Blame the TV channels on Minovsky particle interference. It's what I would do.

  • @videochemist Amen..today shows are so mindless and retarded its hard to explain why they were made for kids..oh wait MINDLESS

  • @videochemist

    Read: "Sorry, son, the Minovsky Particle density is too high..."

  • @videochemist That's what I want to do with my kids one day and not with just Gundam, but with all of those good shows from the 90's.

  • @videochemist *raises mug* Here, Here brother!

  • @videochemist You sir, are a good father. I tip my hat to you.

  • @videochemist great i hate how cartoon network has changed. i grew up watching gundam from toonami and its just been plain amazing ever since.

  • @videochemist hahaha i awsome and i totally agree!!!!!

  • @videochemist your the best dad ever PERIOD!!!

  • @videochemist (thumbs up) 100000000000000000000000000000­0000000000

  • @videochemist

    You know, if you're blocking out TV channels and raising the kids on Gundam, why not blame the TV on the high minovsky particle density around your house?

  • @videochemist Well said my friend! I'm an Engineering major, so I know a thing about "Electromagnetics".

    Whenever you said that, that tripped me up. Funny! :D

  • those darn minovsky particles will save your kids childhoods

  • @videochemist Same here. I wish I can get all of the Gundam DVDs.

  • i hate seed destiny 00 series there not gundams any more to me

  • and youre probably gonna hate the upcoming Gundam Unicorn, right?

  • yes most likely i can understand wing 's gundams but the others dont seem like gundams to me

  • 0:16 instantly told me hat kind of series this was. A dark and depressing one. Yet awesome.

  • This series is soooooo like.. sad and all.....

  • I haven't seen this one....yet...... But I believe 08th MS Team was the Best one yet. Unless this one proves other wise

  • @gungriffen this ones really sad

  • 0080 has it's own unique charm that is completely independent from the other UC Gundam series. I would highly recommend it if you like a moving story in an OVA. This is not to say there is no action, but it's more story driven.

  • Awesome I prefer story thats why I liked 08th MS Team. If you haven't seen that one you need to it has been rated the best. Its like Gundam in Vietnam there GM's are weaker than the Zaku's so there is ground combat with Assault rifles and Anti-Tank Rockets. They have to set ambush's and the GM's break down do to Jungle/Dessert environment It's Awesome!

  • i like how they use all the badass footage from the prologue...

    0800 is still cool though.

  • i could not believe how sad the end of that series was...i, like lots of others really miss this stuff. and yes, bring toonami back you dumbass Cartoon Network bitches, stop playing fucking "the office" and shit, thats what other stations are for!

  • Um, pretty sure a live-action sitcom about office life is not airing on Cartoon Network. Dumbass.

  • thats some sarcasm right there right?  (i hope ;)

  • I don't know if it is the same "The Office" but there is definitely a show on CN called "The Office."

  • Out of all the Gundam series that have ever played, this had more heart and soul to tear any other Gundam series up. If only the other gundam stories were as creative and inspiring and heart wrenching as this...

  • when al just started crying hysterically at the end that's when it hit home for me

  • f-91 and 8th ms team try those ones and maybe z and zz

  • that lue zaku is badass

  • That's no Zaku, boy! No Zaku!

  • bring toonami back

  • Go to my video called ToonamiForever and My video called ToonamiTributeForever Help! bring back toonami! Spread the word and i think

    we all should bring back toonami! Ourselves go to the youtube channel called ToonamiRebel and have other fans help bring back toonami then we can hear optimus's voice saying this again. "ONLY TOONAMI!"

  • My favorite Gundam film right here.

  • got this at best buy without ever watching it...then when i saw it...it became an instant classic!

  • 0:24 Zeon's screwed

  • one of the best anime i've ever watched

  • I just bought the full set on DVD at Otakon. I'm going to start watching right now.

  • I remember this, to bad i couldn't stay up for it, dam thing ran at 12 and i was 6 i believe when they started showing it

  • @badcompanyreject

    That's why I'm glad I was in my late teens early twenties during Toonami's heyday. I remember seeing this as it premiered on the Midnight Run back when. It became one of my favorite Gundam stories, and one of the reasons I became a die hard UC Timeline fan.

  • man with out Toonmi cartoonnetwork looks like shit LOL NO JOKE

  • Go to my video called ToonamiForever

    Help bring back toonami! Spread the word and i think we all should bring back

    toonami! Ourselves go to the youtube channel called ToonamiRebel and have other fans help bring back toonami then we can hear optimus's voice saying this again. "ONLY TOONAMI!"

  • With the kind of shows CN is showing now, Toonami will never come back. ;_;

  • CN wants to be Nickolodeon. They can't make money off shows like Gundam and anime and WB stuff like Batman.

    They want to make their own shows, like Spongebob for Nick. They want to be able to sell merchandise. CN was making so much money for Bandai and Hasbro. They want it to themselves now.

    But they keep making shitty shows. At their rate, the channel might die to be honest. They're highest rated shows are still stuff like Pokemon/Beyblade Licensed stuff.

    They shoulda kept Toonami.

  • hope it does die

    mayb it will teach them a lesson

  • I remember I saw this on adult swim several years ago when it was only on saturday and sunday nights.

    excellent show! best gundam next to 0083 and g gundam

  • the best gundam out of all is Zeta Gundam

  • thats ur opinion....

  • and a damn good one.

  • you know what? i take back that comment...since it turns out i've never seen zeta...heh...sorry mate...

  • I have the feeling that they aired this before they had the original Mobile Suit Gundam, am i right?

  • As I remember the toonami/adult swim airing went: Gundam Wing -> Mobile Suit Gundam -> 8th MS Team -> 0080 -> 0083

  • they had 0083? I remeber seeing this commercial long before they started showing the original Gundam I dont know why.

  • 0083 was in the original lineup of Adult Swim. I still have VHS tapes of most of it from Adult Swim itself. :D

  • its not that I doubt you or anything

  • Hehe, I know. That's when it was though.

  • I get CHILLS whenever i see toonami commercials xD

  • I nearly cried at the end of this show... that's all I'm gonna say.

  • Mwah.. she did beat the shit out of Bernie: and accounts for the most unnecessary kill in Gundam History.

  • @Tuning3434

    While Bernie died, to me, he did better than Chris in their duel. Chris didn't have battle experience but she'd been a Feddie for a while. Bernie, on the other hand, was a green rookie.

    Also, the Alex was a much better MS than the FZ Zaku II. Despite that, Bernie still performed very well and basically destroyed the Alex despite getting killed himself.
