Best Gundam series?

**Freki** · Mon, 09-05-2005, 11:44 PM

Ouch, if I say I like G Gundam can I have my posting privledges returned? It isn't even like I said anything that bad, I made fun of some of the gundams and country names in show, and then I said that I was willing to give the show another try if it got better after very beginning. When I stopped watching the show it was still just Domon traveling around looking for his brother, he'd fight someone else in a gundam, and then they would end up becoming friends at end of episode.

Anyway if you wanna complain about other peoples opinions, then lighten up when people complain about yours.

I wouldn't give a shit if you actually WATCHED the show. Saying that you stopped watching after a few episodes not only makes you look like a moron, but is also hugely disrespecting towards the people behind G Gundam (which, again, is a very good show). Then again, if you watched it and hated it, that would actually be an OPINION; and I'd naturally not care about that. What you did now was just judging a show prematurely.

Umm.... well I watched all of G Gundam and while I did not hate it I really didn't think it was very good (then again it was the dub, so...)

I found alot of plot elements and characters to be total cliches (tho some were cleverly used and improved on) and many plot twists were obvious and easy to spot from way far away. I did find some of the battles interesting, but could predict more often then not what the pace/events of the battle would be. I also could hardly care less about the plethora of minor characters that could dominate individual stand-alone episodes. On the other hand I liked how some of these characters would reappear later on and were woven into the story.

So I guess I don't know quite where I stand on G Gundam, but I will say that Terra is always quick to judge and bombast people who don't agree with his Sannin level wisdom. And then there's his habit of using scathing one-line posts to blast members.... but well all I can say is just don't let it get to you. Even though you gave up on the series early on, your first impression is something you are more than allowed to post. I actually felt very much the same about G Gundam for the first dozen episodes or so.

EDIT: I feel like starting with the original Gundam series is a good place. I also enjoyed Wing, but looking back on it now, some six years later is it?, I can see some of its flaws pretty obviously. 8th MS Team kicks ass too, too bad its so short....

I think that is you want the best gundam experience then go for the original MSG.

Haha since you are so big on respecting creaters of shows I expect the same level of anger at every Fuck fukuda, fuck the writing team, lets hire someone to kill fukuda comment on the forum. An OPINION is just a belief about something, I can have one without seeing any of the show, but I only formed one about the stuff I had seen in the show. I think you would be better off saying "that would actually be a LEGITIMATE OPINION;" but whatever. I also do feel like a moron for not finishing a show I wasn't enjoying WATCHING, thanks more making me realize how dumb that was of me. Anyway I am going to give the whole series a WATCH, already started getting it even, and then after that I can post an OPINION for you to not give a shit about.

***Terracosmo*** · Wed, 09-07-2005, 06:29 AM

I naturally don't respect Fukuda, since he's a bloody moron. Your point? At least I've given his work a chance...

Edit: I know it's cool to imitate me and capitalize random words, but please, you need to do it with more style. It just looks silly otherwise.

**smurfyy** · Thu, 09-08-2005, 01:27 AM

wtf is wit u sannins. dont u hav better things to do than piss on other people's comments? go read a book or sumthing...u insult like shit here like you dont have an outside life or sumthin

bak to topic: Gundam wing or gundam seed..iono..destiny is a notch lower than seed, wing was pretty good. meh, i'll jus stick with Seed then.

***Terracosmo*** · Thu, 09-08-2005, 02:37 AM

What's with you students, you spell like you have goats up your asses and are twice as dumb.

Also, mind your own business. And reading sucks. I hate books.

**smurfyy** · Thu, 09-08-2005, 06:14 PM

that explains alot...*cough*dumbass*cough*

**Strike Freedom** · Thu, 09-08-2005, 08:44 PM

Ummm, now, now there must be peace. My personal opinion: Seed is the best so far. GSD I will reserve judgment on till the end. Turn A Gundam was alright, but it might be the most boring series of the Gundam stories I've ever seen. So if there is to be a worse Gundam (and the director is awesome so nothing against him) but it would be my worst. For all those Lacus haters, you would really hate Diana in this series...(i like them though)

I'm a dumbass for not reading books? [img]i/expressions/rolleye.gif[/img]

I think you being a lover of reading proves the opposite, as you are obviously incapable of spelling properly (despite apparently liking books) and also... well, you're an idiot.

I'm going to be the bigger man and go back to the topic now, so why don't you head back to your corner and keep hating me for whatever reason (probably that I hate Kira/Lacus and am a lot sexier than you).

So, best Gundam series in order:

1. Gundam Seed (can't be touched)
2. G Gundam (awesome)
3. Gundam 0079 (lots of memorable moments)

I've seen more, but that's probably my top 3. I never saw all of Z (only like 30 eps, unfortunately) so I can't put it there. But it's promising so far. And yes, I'm more of an AU than an UC guy.

**smurfyy** · Thu, 09-08-2005, 11:58 PM

LOL sexier than me? ur probably a fatass nerd sittin behind the computer that humps an inflatable yzak everynight before u sleep. oh, and i dont hate you, i just "dislike" assholes that shit on other people's opions. in this case, you

yea...im switchin to Destiny. The art and graphics are better than seed after i jus re dled and rewatched the original.

**Freki** · Fri, 09-09-2005, 03:32 AM

Well I have watched 1-13 of G Gundam, ill prolly try to get the rest watched over weekend, but nothing so far has been that interesting to me, there is a pretty basic patern to each episode so far and the plot twists aren't like surprising, I am specifically referring to the mystery of who is the newest gundam's, darkness finger one, pilot, which hasn't been revealed yet but it is pretty obvious when they have a character run off, introduce new suit, then have character come back when suit is gone, because this is stuff i didn't see first time around. Just curious when you think the show picks up to being worthy of second spot on your list terra, or do you think it already has by the point I am at?(idk if you gonna take this as disrespecting the creators again, but it isn't supposed to be I am honestly curious about why you like the show)

Anyway as of now my ranking of best gundam shows would be:
1. 8th MS Team(by far the best in my eyes)
2. Gundam SEED

Oh and books suck ass, anything worth reading should just be made into a movie.

Don't you have anything better to do than try to start a flame war? It's not cool being an E-thug just thought i'd tell you that.

There is more to a show than art and graphics, i guy who read books should know this. Plot advancement and Character development are huge parts in a series.

SEED had a good amount of everything, in Destiny they took away the Plot advancement and Character development and put in more graphics and other bullshit like to many gundams. There is no way in hell that Desinty can compare to SEED now. Destiny was entertaining right up to ep 35 or so then it went downhill, everybody got new gundams for no particular reason and the plot advancement just went out the window.

Why would I take that as disrespecting?

Anyway... I suppose the thing I really love about G Gundam is how it feels more focused on the characters rather than mechanics. Of course there are lots of gundams, but most UC series, while good, feel a lot more... you know, "mechanical"? It's hard to explain. G Gundam has memorable characters, good fights, a convincing story and very many touching moments (the last on this list is something I rank very high on my "important things a series should have" list).

And nope, you haven't come to the good stuff yet. While I like G Gundam all the way through, the first half cannot compare to the last. I'm just trying to tell you that you shouldn't judge it by the goofy gundam designs, as most of the people who bash G are people who did just that - bashed the gundam designs and then left the show saying that it sucks (not saying that you are like that). I guess it just pisses me off to see people reject an awesome show for such a reason.

Oh and finally, for smurfyyyyyyyy, if I had an inflatable Yzak I'd definitely hump it, but I unfortunately don't. Also, I'm only an asshole because you're an idiot. Everybody loves Terra! Except the morons. And honestly, I can live without your support.

*Poses, pissing off smurfyyyyyyyyy even more just for the hell of it*

@ Freki: When I burned the series I just left out the first 13 eps, they're really not that representative of the majority of the story. Though you do need to know what happened for it to make sense. You'll probobly like it if you go through to the end, so just stick through the less then amazing parts.

SEED My #1 fav
G Gundam Great Show, memorable, not horribly canned but predictible in a sort of fun way
0083 Nice show, go unnessecarily large Mobile Armors with insect names
08th MS Awesome and I really liked it, esp the cool water trick the Indian dude used, a la GI Joe suvival training
Wing Cool back when I first got into Cartoon Network Anime, but now its much less satisfying, too much random crap just pops up

Haven't seen any more yet, but i'm trying to watch 0079, man this is old school

**Freki** · Sat, 09-10-2005, 03:36 AM

Well since I already asked G Gundam questions here, I guess I'll do it again, and the topic be damned.(Don't wanna go to G Gundam thread cuz I dont feel like reading anything about storyline just to find out about a song I heard in one episode) I just finished 22, and there is this song in episode near the end that plays when everyone is talking about the finals, and I was wondering what that song was called. It sounded like I had heard it somewhere before for some reason, so I guess I am also wondering if it is just a G Gundam song that sounded familiar, or could I have heard it somewhere else?

Oh the series has gotten better since it stopped just being random location + random nobody Gundam in every episode. I really coulda done without seeing episodes for Neo Mexico, Neo Canada, and Neo Turkey.

***Terracosmo*** · Sat, 09-10-2005, 03:37 AM

I agree with that, it does feel like it's a lot of random jumping during the first half of the series.

Sometimes you don't spell properly. and that depends on diffrent situations and problems.
I, myself, don't use spelling programs suchs as "word", nor do I care about the spelling, the fact is that I and some I know don't care because on the internet theres no one that should be saying to "you" how to behave yourself..

Why bother spelling, everything is connected to efficenticy.. As fast as possible, with as low efford put into it..

But those who live in the internet and has forgotten that a real life outside the computer world exist, those might be concern about the spelling on the internet..

It's not school now, no essay..

Just be nice to people, don't make the mfeel bad.. WE should al enjoy internet and the psooiblities it brings!

P.s I don't care if my spelling is bad LOL!! =)
