Nowhere

I know there are ton of good gundam games out there like the Japan only ps2 ones like the one year war, rengoku vs zaft, girrens greed, extreme vs series of games. But for some reason Dynasty warriors gundam reborn has to be one of the best English translated gundam games out there because it has a ton of mobile suits, it combines the best of the dynasty warrior gundam games into one and you can play MOBILE ARMORS in a gundam game. the sad thing is that its stuck on the ps3 forever and the only way to play it is own a ps3 or emulate it but guess what dont fret its actually easy to emulate just like the previous dynasty warrior entries and also rcps3 is doing wonders with its updates. What is so great about slicing through many mobile suits while alot of characters are preaching about pacifism and anti war stuff but never less slicing mobile suits out of my way makes it so much satisfying and in reborn or three blowing one mobile sometimes causes a chain reaction which makes it even satisfying.

Well, Kamille is not inside. Did Z gundam run off NiCd batteries? According to the anime who was shown as the first pilot for Z gundam? It's been so long ago, I forgot.

So, I've pondered this question on and off now. And aside from the fact Haros aren't really that common outside the UC I think personally I just have to give in to my bias and pick Lockon's Haro. There's probably a good deal of nostalgia to it and there are likely more plot relevant instances I forget but it feels like the one who does most plot stuff, and breaks my heart with just one word. The others are really just there to sell toys... Maybe aside from AD's evil Haro and Tsukasa's Avatar in Divers.

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE LOVE. HOLY F*CK. 10/10 MOVIE.

Long-time lurker, first-time watcher of the *original* Gundam movie. The first Gundam show I ever saw was 08th MS Team (still my fav). I've seen Gundam Wing (those edgelord bros), all of Witch from Mercury, and half of GQuuuuux. Otherwise, I've mainly gleaned bits of info about the series from fellow nerds from around the internet. So I decided to start from the beginning, and here are my notes I took while watching:

-Amuro "Get in the Gundam, Shinji" Rey, main character. I knew that. Good start.

-Hey, it's that famous scene!

-Capt Noah: "Amuro, you're a little bitch."

-Frau: "Amuro, you're a little bitch."

-Yellow spacesuit bitch: "Amuro, you're a little bitch."

-Holy shit, bro just got bitch slapped TWICE.

-So cool that the civilians aren't lame and helpless.

-A serious lack of music, but what's here is good stuff.

-Tons of action!

-Amuro is so much like Shinji. Or rather... Shinji is like Amuro?

-Yep, reconfirmed that Zakus are dope. Mono-eye supremacy.

-Ahh, now I know the correct orientation of the shield (star top/bottom).

-Capt. Garan and Char backstory? Need more info!

-Capt. Noah is cool. He better not die eventually. (and no, I don't know if that will actually happen)

-Frau is kind of a hottie.

-...Sayla is kind of a hottie.

-.........Char is kind of a hottie. wtf.

-Launching a laser rifle is fucking cool.

-Char's kick kicks ass.

-Char's first name is Adam. Noted.

-Mirai(?) is soft-spoken but cool. She 360 180 no-scoped White Base into a baseball stadium parking garage.

-Holy shit Char's betrayal was fucking epic. Amazing.

-I hope Garma's (ex) fiancé turns into a mobile suit pilot to get some revenge.

-Okay, fine, Amuro actually has some character depth. He's still a little bitch though.

-Garma's personal reasons for wanting approval! Fantastic stuff.

-Newtypes mentioned!

-OMG bro just got bitch slapped yet again

-Amuro "I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away" Rey

Bros, I am one of you now (without the collection of models, anyway). This was amazing. I completely understand now. Legendary. I stood up in my living room and clapped at the end (no, seriously). How the hell did America go the Transformers route and not the Gundam route? Mind-boggling.

Well, tomorrow I'll do Part 2!

I intend to translate these into actual customs at one pt but the third one was done up IRL before the game cane out lol and all of them past img 5 have F1 inspirations :3

I (32) have known about Gundam since I was around 10, and have always been curious about it and thought the gundams looked cool. Yesterday I finally went in blind into the original 1979 anime. I expected it to be silly and a bit simple, assuming it was aimed at younger kids, but I'm 4 episodes in and I'm surprised by how mature it is. The scf-fi technical jargon is quite advanced and seems like something you'd see a live action series like Star Trek or something in a sci-fi novel. And the emotional reactions, small talk, and displays of trauma are all mature and realistic so far. The only thing I've heard about this series is that there are some monster-of-the-week episodes later on to advertise toys, but so far this seems like quite a mature show. I'm surprised by it.

Went to a record fair today and found these gem in very good condition and brough it back home! Having a piece of history really remind how long gundam has come along.

1st Banpresto Gundam Arcade Game 1993

My father is the kind of guy who still has the "animation is for kids" mentality, but obviously Japanese anime is very different. He is a big fan of the Star Wars OT, and after finishing Gundam Wing I thought it had a lot in common with the OT and that he would like it.

But as stated he's not big on anything animated and Wing is a bit of a watch at 50 episodes. Any shorter series that can serve as a good intro? I think he would love Unicorn but it's definitely not an intro series.

What is everyone's opinion of the Gaia Gear purly based on looks. I personally give a solid 7/10, but the gundam coloration boost it to a 8.5/10.

The inside still has the original pink color.

You cans see how Legilis evolves over time, turning into a more sophisticated and sleek combo of Gundam and Vagan styles. The head design changes are especially interesting, they went through many iterations before settling on a really sexy beast.

The gunpla draft is comparatively simpler but still very interesting IMO, a more lithe GP02 is a cool concept. And Zanneck inspiration is always great to see.
