Not sure if I should be worried that Bandai will give up on serious Gundam shows if this is popular or hope that they do, any more.

Your first Gundam model should not be an MG. Get the HG, then decide if you think it's fun, and then move on to MG's later.

My first Gundam model was the MG Turn-A and I didn't have much of a problem with it.

EDIT: Man, I liked Gundam X. What's with all the hate? :smith:

Most people who haven't seen it only know it as the Gundam show so bad it got cancelled, forgetting that First Gundam was also unpopular until the movies and got cancelled, though they had chance to finish off the story in a more satisfactory way.

[e] Now that I think about it I actually had a gundam model (and couple zoids for some reason) as a kid because my local dollar store had a bunch for what ever reason. I think it was a Wing a few years after they stopped showing it on toonami.

For a while when Wing was semi-popular in the West you could find some of the low grade kits just hanging out in normal toy shops.

I'm DEFINITELY buying the MG Sengoku Astray now. That was an awesome fight.

Yeah, I had the HG ordered because it looked cool/silly but I'm definitely switching to the MG.

Gundam Build Fighters: working as intended.

I know goons tend to flip out when someone gets feminist chocolate in their nerd peanut butter, but insinuating that characters like Kycilia Zabi or Matilda Ajane or even the Shrike Team are anywhere near as badly written as Kirara or China is just loving bonkers.

Are they better or worse than the Bikini Suicide Squad? I need to update my sexist Gundam poo poo list, tia.

I was disappointed when the reveal turned out to not be that lanky & all wrongly proportioned Zaku from that cheap-rear end original Gundam episode :saddowns:



Still chuckling at the image of all the characters going :wtc: at seeing that

It was the '70s maaaaan, you weren't there.

It also really bugged me that they didn't take a pot shot at the BaCue at the end there.

Well, I guess if there was Gunpla Mafia there'd have to be Gunpla police.

Also, Cutey Honey was the last thing I was expecting to get a reference in this show.

I don't know what Gundam I'm going to watch after this. The only other one I've ever seen start-to-finish is G Gundam. I'd been considering either 08 or finally watching Wing, but the fandom for the latter has driven me away for the better part of two decades. Maybe I'll start with Mobile Suit Gundam and move my way forward? But which ones do I watch, then? I don't have nearly enough free time to watch all of them.

Watch Turn A Gundam, unless you really want a traditional Gundam show. If free time is a factor you can get away with Mobile Suit Gundam movies > Zeta Gundam (TV series, NOT MOVIES) > Char's Counterattack.

Or just watch 0080 and 8th MS Team OAV's, they're both pretty good.

I imagine it would look something like the climax of the 1986 Transformers movie and that gets me pretty pumped.

Set it to 'Dare' AKA the pinnacle of all human creation and you've got a deal.


VVVVV I have tears in my eyes right now.
