After watching Char's CounterAttack it's just hard to imagine that anything can happen after the death of Amuro/Char. UC doesn't seem as enjoyable without these two. Hell, I'd even accept the 4th Zeta movie as an alternate ending to the UC stories since it's nice to think Kamile has a good ending to his stories. Should I watch ZZ and V? Are they as good as 0079, Z, and CCA?
@ChaosZack08 They are not bad at all, problem is fanbase that thinks "hurr durr i'm so cool cuz i say zz is shit", Victory is nice if you can stand a main character dying every chapter lol
@ChaosZack08 The script received a rewrite halfway through when Tomino got the ok for CCA. ZZ is definitely a series worth watching, contrary to what some people say. After watching and rewatching ALL Gundam that exists, my least favorite full series is either Wing or Seed Destiny, even below X. My least favorite of any animated production is F91, just way too rushed. And God help anybody who has to watch G-Saviour. My top picks are Zeta, CCA, G, and Turn A.
@barrin666 can't be a one of it because all of the 3 fighters to form zz have pilots, but you can consider rx-78 because it's the mobile suit who originated the mobile suit who has a core fighter
Stacking "Anime Ja Nai" & the 1st half of ZZ and "Silent Voice" & the 2nd half of ZZ side by side is like putting the 1960's Batman with the Dark Knight. They're so radically different.
Silent Voice almost makes the 2nd half of ZZ look like a completely different show.
@nepomusik thats good, if all of zz had been like the first half it would be my 2nd least favorite series, right after that cluster fuck super robot crap G gundam
Tomino took a break ( he went on holiday somewhere because of depressing mood he got from directing Zeta) around first half in the whole series. Another director took a charge before Tomino took it back again around ep 26. Still, i like ZZ for its comedic value and its light hearted approach to the story. Think of it this way:
0079 : for logical minded person (less emo, more technical aspect)
Z : for emotional angst person (more emo, less technical aspect)
I would say my favorite series was Zeta . I also loved Char's Counterattack . I really haven't watched any of the UC stuff beyond CC , thinking of trying out Victory .
LOL anyone see how Judau is like the only guy that appear in the opening with almost all of the main girl ( aside from Camile and Amuro sice those two rarely appear in the series). Where are the other character such as Bright, Beecha, etc.
If you think about it, the strongest female pilot in the Gundam series is Haman Khan....kinda says something eh? oh and I loved every Gundam series except for G Gundam,...that was just an embarassment. Loved Victory, I just wish they brought back the super dark storylines again. I wanna see a character die every episode! not the happy go lucky crap they have nowadays.
The Seed series was basically infinite plot armor to the point where the freedom gundams nuclear reactor explodes with kira still inside and somehow he managed to survive.
I think G Gundam is not bad at all. I never watched it. So I am not saying how it's story or animation is better. I am saying it's better because the sole fact that it proudly said the words.
"I am a super robot genre anime!"
Since the first alternate universe, many gundam series nowaday are basically a super robot show trying to hide in the title of Gundam.
Are you a fucking idiot? Have you even watched the newer Gundam or are you jsut being a bandwagon riding little faggot? Plenty of people die in EVERY Gundam series.
And G Gundam was badass and manly, suck a ballsack.
I'm terribly sorry, I dont seem to know what you are saying. But then again I dont speak stupid. As for G-gundam, its target audience was 8-14 year old boys in japan. compared to the 15+ audience of Zeta, and Victory. Of course it probably is just a generational thing. Anime back in the 80's all had darker themes. it changed sometime after the mid 90's. oh and btw, I sincerely hope you dont talk to your parents and friends in the same manner you do here.
It's from an AVI anyway and at least they don't have any really stupid special effects. There's a never, remastered version out in H264 and with soft subs.
I thought SD was the worst, I didn't think ZZ was THAAAT bad, I thought it just couldn't live up to Zeta...
ZZ moved really slow and had a reaaally different approach than Zeta, the action kicked in. in the later episodes... but it should never take that long to get into the action. I some what agree that this really wasn't that good, but in its true potential I think this could have really been good. The openings are kick ass though.
Yeah, I agree, it was tolerable, but the action did kick in later, the first few episodes made the series look like it was going to be more comedic... While ZZ wasn't as fast, it had unbelievable fire power... that was the only reason i somewhat liked that gundam, but other than that, it was too bulky for my taste....
Zeta might end up not being to your taste, but many find it to be the best of the UC offerings. It's been a while since I watched it, but it does get better as it goes.
Actually fin funnels were first used by Lalah Sune with the Elmeth although they were called Bits then. Same idea though. And they are usually refered to as Fin Funnels.
You forgot the Rose Bits on the Gundam Rose from G, Wing's Mobile Dolls (Using the Zero System..... kinda), X's G-Bits and the Gunbarrels on Mwu's Moebius Zero.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i don't know why, but the later opening songs of gundam always sound more romantic and yet impress you more than the older ones that are typical of japanese robot cartoon openings. nevertheless, the singers don't perform well enough... pity
They never make any sense when they're poorly translated. I should delete this and upload the Hero Legends version. Theirs is very similar to this, but so much more coherent.
I don't care what people say. I love Double Zeta Gundam. The theme songs rock, Judau was a nice change of pace from Amuro and Camille's nature, and I honestly feel that if Double Zeta Gundam had been as depressing as Zeta, then the franchise would've destroyed itself and Tomino might've killed himself.
We need to cry sometimes, but we also need to laugh, smile, and feel that as bad as things get, we can make a difference for the better.
You think I'm joking? I honestly feel Tomino would have killed himself. He hated making Victory Gundam, he's appalled at the ending of Ideon, and part of making the Zeta movies was so he could give it a semi-optimistic ending.
Gundam ZZ, in spite of its seemingly happy-go-lucky facade in the first half, is very deep. And if you know about Glemy in advance, you can clearly see hints of his true nature *very* early on.
Speaking of Gundam and depressing, I still wonder WHY Tomino thought Victory Gundam was bad... just cause it was depressing, it was good that way IMO.
@FurnaxIkki I really agree with this post. UC is already depressing and bleak as it is. I mean look at how far into it the series and novels have gone! That universe is never going to be peaceful.
yeah but Kamille was strong enough to beat Haman but his plan backfired, i wouldnt doubt it, if he was trying to get the same newtype connection, like amuro had with Lalah.
Well, back then, for a couple decades before it was brought out in English, Camille Vidan was the most popular and common Romanization of the name, so a lot of older - okay, just old ^_^ fans like me still spell it that way. Second, I just.. oh.. he's a bitch. Complains and complains and whines and I LOVE to watch him get slapped. Fortunately there's lots of that. Mind you, it's all my opinion!
so Retro I love it
