Enjoy.

[Levon]

Zeta Gundam with Mobile Suit Gundam in a very close 2nd.

[kamidake90]

Not another one of these! Oh well I guess I'll Vote for Turn A Gundam, and Victory Gundam, in that order.

[Lord Timaeus]

*cough* (http://animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=125216)

That thread scares me... Wing actually has the most votes along with the 08th MS Team. :eww:

My favorite happens to be the only UC I've seen thus far: Mobile Suit Gundam.

[Levon]

08th MS Team is great so I'm glad its beating Wing. I still like Wing to a certain degree but not as much as UC or G Gundam.

Once Zeta comes to DVD here things will be diffrent(for the better).

[SuperKnuckles]

Different strokes for different folks

I like Gundam Seed. It's almost exactly like Mobile Suit Gundam, except the visuals are upgraded a lot.

I can't believe somebody else likes Turn A Gundam also! I love that series too! It doesn't get any attention even from Gundam fans.

[Levon]

Most people just havn't seen it thats why. I can't wait til it comes to R1 DVD(that will be a while).

[Heat Guy J]

Seed. I'm a visuals whore though.

Next up would be 08th MS.

[T0ny_Ninj4]

Mobile Suit Gundam and 08th MS Team would be my choice for best Gundam series

[Pickie]

Hands down 08th MS Team

[Seven Year Itch]

Gundam Wing..

[Antenora]

It was 08th, then came ep 12. Proly Stardust then Seed.

[Kaiga]

My defintie Fav was 08th MS Team (8th Mobile Suit Team).

[Jinpun]

Gundam sucks!!!

[Mutsumi's~Loverboy]

MS gundam, SEED, 08th team, 0080, 0083, mainly the UC series, i'm not a visuals whore either, so i like the original MSG A LOT. SEED is good, ill admit, its a good retelling of the original. but adding mroe than one gundam is a bad idea, unless its liek the 08th MS team, with the Ground Type Gundams.....

[Levon]

Gundam sucks!!!

It sure does!:D Its a mecha anime that did nothing but ruin the mecha genre.

[Jinpun]

lol I was waiting for someone to catch that. I do love Gundam btw incase some of you don't know that already.

My fav: Gundam 08th MS Team.
Second fav: Mobile Suit Gundam.

[Icer626]

The Original Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 Movie Trilogy.
If it has to be a TV show then SEED, since I've never watched Z, ZZ, V Gundam.

What about Mobile Suit Gundam TV series. I like it more than the movies since the movies lost character devolpment & cut good battles out(like Gyan vs Gundam) but it was nice that the movies removed its flaws like some fillers & very bad animation scenes.

[madoka odeko]

My favourite Gundam is the movie Char's Counterattack.

[DJ_CarrotG]

My favorite Gundam would have to be Gundam:08th M.S.Team and the original Mobile Suit Gundam.

[neiru_3]

Zeta Gundam.

[Sharp-kun]

Zeta Gundam.

[j_wong00]

Zeta Gundam.

Bar none.

[David Gill]

Hey! Sharp-kun. Isn't this thread redundant? Shouldn't it be merged with our stickied Favorite Gundam series thread?

I didnt really like the TV show, I dunno I just got a much different feeling from the movies.

[Char Aznable]

I love the movies, MSG,Zeta and CCA the movies are my favorite. While they cut somethings out, They tend to be easier to watch for me because i hate the "on the next episode of" and "previously on"(hmm wonder why i dont like DBZ!?),as well as seeing the opening,ending and halfway points over and over again.

But i really havent seen any UC gundam i didnt like,sure some arent my favorites but i dont dislike them.

*dons fire retardant suit and pulls out fire hose* Flamers beware...

[Inferno]

Its all about G Gundam...I kid i kid. I really liked the 08th MS Team and the original Mobile Suit Gundam, and also seed has found a place in my heart.

But for real why does everyone hate G Gundam? I mean did you see the gundams? They were all great. A giant windmill, a cactus/fisherman, a viking, and the list goes on.

[Levon]

G Gundam rules! Sure it starts out kinda lame but it gets much better later on.

[Makil]

in my opinion, Id say the 08th MS Team. Good characters, action sequences, and story.

[JoeStrummer]

Zeta, ZZ, Mobile Suit, Chars Counterattack, actually i like all of them...

[Dalmain]

Zeta...just got done watching 2 episodes..wow. Second is the original series MSG.

[PrinceAshitaka]

Favorite: I gotta say 08th MS Team = Excellent
Close 2nd: Gundam Seed

I'm loving Gundam Seed a ton, from the 14 episodes I've seen of it. It's visually stunning, there's good character development imo, and I can't wait for each next episode. I also love the opening and closing themes, and how the closing theme overlaps the end of each episode.

Side question: Does the ending theme do the overlap on cartoon network?

[Makil]

and how the closing theme overlaps the end of each episode.

same here. I think its a neat little thing to do.

Side question: Does the ending theme do the overlap on cartoon network?

they do kinda. They play the intro to the song, cut to the next episode preview, then back to the end credits. It doesnt have the same affect as the Japanese version does...

[thx3876]

I haven't seen enough Gundam to declare a best, but out of what I have seen...

Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy
Char's Counterattack
Gundam Wing
G Gundam (only a few random episodes)
SEED

The winner is... * drumroll *

...Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy!

[Levon]

I haven't seen enough Gundam to declare a best, but out of what I have seen...

G Gundam (only a few random episodes)


You should watch all of G Gundam, a few random eps just doesn't do justice. It took me a few months until I started to like the show. I'd watch some random eps & just the first 10 or so eps then I'd stop, but after a while I got the will to watch it all no matter what and by around episode 15 I fell in love with it.

[Lady Lyra]

According to Anime Insider's June/July web poll, the most favorite Gundam series was Gundam Wing at 45%, with G Gundam in second place with 17%.

Personally, I prefer G Gundam, only because its the only Gundam series I have seen the most episodes of.

[Levon]

According to Anime Insider's June/July web poll, the most favorite Gundam series was Gundam Wing at 45%, with G Gundam in second place with 17%.

More like most popular in America. The AUs are always more popular in America cuz many kids love the AUs.

[ShmooZeroOmega]

However, the last two AUs that they have not released on this side of the big pond yet are Gundam X and Turn A Gundam. GX had terrible ratings in Japan and I don't think that any network would play Turn-A even if if you threatened to push them into a room filled with radioactive killer bees...
So in short, we have nothing but UC to look forward to. :)

That's because most of the people who read that magazine are of single-digit age and their primary source of anime is Cartoon Network.

I do plan on checking it out as soon as I can get my hands on the DVDs so I can watch it uncut and subbed.

[Levon]

Yeah the dub is edited alot, but I still think the dub was good. Just edited bad but scenes on DVD arn't edited at all.

[RiniChikRaye]

wing and mobile suit gundam.

[Lt. Oliver May]

I'd definitely have to say 08th MS Team. The only thing close to that would be MS IGLOO, and if you guys haven't heard of it, check it out. I just got it, and it's definitely one of my favorite, it goes back to the U.C. Era.

And to you ugys who hate 08th MS Team and love Wing, you've probably never watched the 08th MS team, and sit in front of Cartoon Network all day.

[Vaikyuko]

Another thread I never responded to...

Victory Gundam is my fave, with X and G probably being my back up.

[Levon]

A 2 year & 7 month thread back to life-_-;

I tried watching MS IGLOO but my crappy computer wouldn't run the video good. Although now that I have a Divx player maybe I should try with that.

[HitokiriShadow]

MS IGLOO was... unique. In a good way. I watched it about a month ago and I enjoyed it quite a bit, even if it became rather predictable.

[DangerousK]

Gotta say, Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket is my favorite Gundam series of all time.

[CrossboneGundam]

And to you ugys who hate 08th MS Team and love Wing, you've probably never watched the 08th MS team, and sit in front of Cartoon Network all day.

Cartoon network also showed 08th MS Team. They're both pretty shoddy, anyway.

Makes me wonder what happened to David Gil, Gato, Shmoo, Jwong and the rest. :(

[RyoTD]

Zeta Gundam, along with Char's Counterattack. There's still much I haven't watched, though.

Edit: On the topic of MS IgLoo, I watched it and the sequel Apocalypse 0079 quite a while ago. I enjoyed them both, and they are one of the reasons I like Zeon the most of all Gundam factions, maybe except for AEUG.

[Len]

Regardless of its Main-streamness, I stick with SEED.. though Zeta was good. I couldn't stand MS G..

[Crusader986]

Zeta. 0080 comes in a close second.

[Soluzar]

Makes me wonder what happened to David Gil, Gato, Shmoo, Jwong and the rest. :(

Well I'm more talking about the MS G manga :P The fact that I read it first made me never want to 'watch' it.

[j_wong00]

J Wong posted about two days ago.

A little thing called work has tied up most of my time, so I don't get on the boards as much as I used to.

When I do, someone else has already beat me to the punch in explaining stuff.

[Lord Timaeus]

So far my favorite is Zeta, although there are still a lot of Gundam series I've yet to see. Once I see MSG TV, CCA, 0080, and Turn-A (maybe ZZ, too, if I can find it,) I'll be able to make a more rational decision on the matter.

[ViperBiH]

woow do I feel weird I thought the best series were Seed and 0083.

[Baka Ninja]

This is pretty tough,Id have to say 08th MS because it was the closes thing youd actually get to beiliveing taht their can me Mobile Suits fighting the dense Jungle of Vietnam..or Thailand,whatever. I just thought that Colonel Norris Packard with his Custom Gouf was just the greatest character in the whole story even though he wasent on screen for a ful 10 minuetes. Everyting was perfect about 08th MS Team,0080 and 0083 are 2nd in my book but arent even sloe to where 08th is in my heart. It just disspoints me that they couldnt flesh out either of the series longer but chose to make less quality series span up to 50+ episodes.

[Levon]

South American jungles-_-;

[HitokiriShadow]

I thought 08th MS Team took place in South (East) Asia.

EDIT: Yep, it's Southeast Asia.

[Levon]

I assumed it would be near Jaburo.

Where exactly was that Feddie base?

I forget but did the 08th MS Team fight in Odessa?

[HitokiriShadow]

I don't remember much regarding the locations. I'm pretty sure they were never even near Jaburo. But I do know the back of the case says its in Southeast Asia. Wikipedia says the same, but no specific locations are mentioned in the brief plot summary.

[Mr. sickVisionz]

**I saw this like 5 years ago some the details may be way off** My favorite one is the wone where a pilot (for the green team) crashes in a city and a lil kid stumbles upon him and his machine. They become friends and eventually we find out that the kid has a sister thats a pilot for the people with Gundams. Her and the other pilot meet up (not knowing that the other is a pilot) and kinda flirt with each other. Something happens where eventually the green guy pilot tries to escape the town and the girl is called in to fight him and she unknowingly kills him on the battlefield I wanna say that it was somehow avoidable cuz the lil kid seemed to have a way of avoiding the whole situation but he couldn't get somewhere in enough time to do something. It was cool to me because he was the only one who knew the whole story and it was fairly depressing. I loved it at thetime because it was the first anime i'd seen that had pretty much zero action yet had me hooked to watching it every night on [as].

[HitokiriShadow]

You are referring to Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.

[Levon]

Just some corrections.

The Gundam pilot is his neighbor not sister.

Green team?-_-; They are Zeon and they wear green uniforms & use green Zaku's. Instead of "the green guy pilot"(makes him sound like an alien;)) you could say "the Zeon guy pilot".


Also you should know that it was edited pretty badly on Cartoon Network. For example eposode 4 had nearly 50 edits. Last episode has nearly 20 edits.
If you thought it was depressing on AS try watching it uncut, its even more depressing.

I need to get it on DVD...But its extremely hard to find. Especailly 0080 and 0083.

[Levon]

Its easy to find online. Do you live in the US? Even if you don't it shouldn't be too hard to import from the US.

[Wraith Gundam]

I don't remember much regarding the locations. I'm pretty sure they were never even near Jaburo. But I do know the back of the case says its in Southeast Asia. Wikipedia says the same, but no specific locations are mentioned in the brief plot summary.

The whole series takes place in Southeast Asia, very near to India I think, since there are both Jungles and and a Desert portion as well as a section in the lower Himalayas.

There were no crossovers with MSG locations like Jaburo or Odessa as far as I can remember; the nearest that it got to Odessa was a small detachment of Feddie mobile suits from Odessa going after the troops being launched into space by Admiral Kellarney, they were taken out by a 'Vaporization Bomb' at long range after being spotted by a Zeon officer.

[Tornel]

08th MS Team by far. I remember watching in a long time ago on Cartoon Network and loving it. It was the first Gundam box set I purchased. It's a shame it's so short, but probably for the best. Next would probably be Gundam SEED. I just finished watching it for a second time through and it is still as good as I remember. I watched turn a gundam this summer and it was ok, but I probably wont watch it again. I remember liking Gundam Wing a lot when I was younger, but I watched it again this summer also, and it is the longest thing in history. It's not that long by episode count, but they drag out everything so much that it just got on my nerves. I haven't seen Gundam Zeta yet, but I really want to. I watched Mobile Suit Gundam after watching Gundam SEED and it's pretty kewl how SEED is more or less a remake of the original. G Gundam is good, mainly because it's so different from the rest. My vote would have to go out to 08th MS Team, then Gundam SEED in second.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

My favorite is definitely G, since I'm just a huge fan of super-mech shows like that

I'm gonna start watching Wing soon, so G might have a decent contender

[Amuro]

I'm gonna start watching Wing soon, so G might have a decent contender

Yep, and do try to ignore the people who'll attempt to talk you out of giving Wing a fair try until you've seen it yourself.

[Len]

Thats right. Ignore me, I have no sense of logic, since I believe it is logical to assume Gundam Wing offered storyline equal to that of a live-action story about an omnipotent refridgerator.

I think we've all been through this before. So, yeah, shut up about it already. Don't let this go any further than this post.

Oh my I'm dealing with a Wing fan who can threaten. oO; People should stop taking things personal.

[Rahxephon91]

Oh my I'm dealing with a Wing fan who can threaten. oO; People should stop taking things personal.

I don't think hes a Winger.

Plus it was you who said people have something called opinions. So if he wants to watch Wing then let him do so.

[Len]

I don't think hes a Winger.

Must be easy irritability. My bad, anyways. It's a fact that there was no story, though. If you go for people who can't die, go watch Wing. Im not saying the art is bad. Duo, DSH and Epyon rock.

PS: He didnt state his opinion, he just told me to shut up.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Amuro is from Bizzarro world, were Russia has a free press, Wing stars Catherine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier and is Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It is a safe bet to adjust your viewing habits to do exactly the opposite of what Amuro says to do.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Oh my I'm dealing with a Wing fan who can threaten. oO; People should stop taking things personal.


Lawl @ Wing Fan. U.C. for life, lady. Remember that.

It's the simple fact that the guy hasn't seen Wing himself. Sure, in the long run we, the U.C. Brigade, will be there to poke fun at the thought of liking Wing. But, think about it, without watching the series, how does one hold an argument without watching it?

If you're a Gundam fan you'll sit down and watch all of them no matter how bad they may be. You just never know what the turnout for a show will be like.

Seriously, you're living bait.

I don't think hes a Winger.



See? Rah knows.

[Len]

Seriously, you're living bait.

Whats bait?

@Sentense Structure: I seem to pause a lot when I read your posts, Takeshi. It sounds like I'm out of breath in my head. xD

[JoeStrummer]

I prefer U.C. as well, I really liked 0083, even though most people I know hated it

[Amuro]

were Russia has a free press

You're still going on about that? :P

I like to think that I simply make my own conclusions before comparing them with the conclusions of others, and prefer to let others do the same.

[Mazinkaiser]

Wow this is a really old thread, 3 years old. Anyways, I vote for the Moustached one

[Shin Asuka]

I don't think hes a Winger.

Plus it was you who said people have something called opinions. So if he wants to watch Wing then let him do so.

I Agree with you, let him watch what he wants, i watch seed and most Gundam fans I see love the older series more and i don't let that get to me

[Solid_Snake]

Thats right. Ignore me, I have no sense of logic, since I believe it is logical to assume Gundam Wing offered storyline equal to that of a live-action story about an omnipotent refridgerator.

You said you liked SEED the best and hated MS G?

And now you're bashing Wing?

K!

[Amuro]

You said you liked SEED the best and hated MS G?

Um, I don't think Nebilim ever said that..

[evafan88]

The 3 U.C. OVA's

[yushire]

Gundam sucks!!!

Since when? Anyway, my favorites are Zeta Gundam, the original Gundam and mybe Gundam Wing but what I really like is Gundam Z...

[Levon]

Jinpun was joking....

[Ender]

My favorite Gundam series are Gundam SEED followed by Gundam X.

[derfshaya]

Aoki Ryuusei SPT Layzner!

Err... nevermind.
I love all. Can I vote for SD Gundam G Generation? MS IGLOO was awesome. Though my favourite is still MSG as it's the first to break the robot genre. Zeta reminds me of Ideon, so it's second. Tomino forever!

SEED is great, actually. It's just too mainstream for my taste. I loved Destiny initially as it had good potential. They ran out of luck?

Anyone watched Mobile Suit Gundam: High Frontier? Just kidding =D

Domon - GUNDAM!!
Garrod - For Sale!
Domon - !! (ack..)
Corin - Gundam?! WHERE?
Mwu - Why are you always calling it a Gundam?

-gets carried away again-

[CrossboneGundam]

Can I vote for SD Gundam G Generation?

What? That's a mediocre videogame series.

[drunk.with.love]

I personally love Wing. I know it has its flaws, but I still love it, I'm not gonna lie.

And we can argue all night long, honey.
