I've always been odd that the original Gundam was my favorite in terms of disguise AND series. The others just got a little... silly. Er.CantFaketheFunk said:
And what's so wrong with that? Some people (cough*me*cough) actually like Nickelback... However, OT, this is pretty much awesome, but it's gonna cost a lot, and what if they have the same problems that the last one did? More importantly, being Tokyo, will it have the firepower to take down Godzilla? Always a concern, in Japanese architecture...Griever18 said:
They should have picked Wing Zero (not the Endless Waltz version, but if I'm right in saying the series had two versions of Wing Zero, I choose the second).
Better yet, make a realistic cockpit and program in the Gundam Dynasty Warriors game (albeit from a cockpit perspective instead of third person. Put the cockpit on hydralics so if feels like you're actually in a Gundam.Jman1236 said:
Oh yeah. Thanks. Since that's the case, I maintain my previous suggestion and graciously thank you for clearing that up. Though Gundam Wing was the only Gundam series I immensely enjoyed, it's been quite a while since I've seen it.matrix3509 said:
EDIT:
I just realized something. If they're making a giant statue of a Gundam, it's very possible that they will eventually make a life-size statue of a Super Saiyan made of solid gold. I am eager to see such a display.
Bad idea! Incurring the wrath of Godzilla. Well, I guess you have something to fight off the Angels. Umm... (thinks of more Japanese pop-culture) there's- tenticles? A-and whale culling? I've got nothing.
But really, it's a pretty silly idea. Cool, but silly.

I haven't seen much of SEED, but I don't like what I see. Overly pretty-boy characters, Pan and Scan animation, a war named after an EMO Band, too much. Give me the depressing high body count Tomino Series's any day.KSarty said:Personally I wasn't a big fan of SEED, but some of the MS designs really are pretty cool. What makes Cherudim so awesome for me is not so much its appearance, but its abilities. Sniper rifle/SMG, dual pistols/blades, shield bits, and an onboard Haro. Whats not to love?CantFaketheFunk said:I'm sorry, but as awesome as the shield bits are, I can't get over the damn thing's feet.KSarty said:
I dunno. There's something about the Freedom in HiMAT mode with wings fully spread that is just gorgeous to me. For all SEED had issues (and let us not speak of Strike Freedom), I love the Freedom to DEATH. And I love my MG Freedom
Though yes, the MS designs are pretty good. Chars Counter Attack has my favorite designs in the Gundam'verse though. Though I have a soft spot for G Gundam, because they have the Lumber Gundam in all it's Canadian Might!
Awwwwwwww yeeeeaahhhhhh
For the kind of money that thing may cost, they could be buying up land and establishing corporations that will maintain dominance for generations to come in 3rd World nations the way that China is. Well, 'cool but impractical' is the operating principal that Giant Robots are driven by...even non-functional ones.
Hmm, thinking of China, I wonder how long it would take their sizable work-force to build such a model. Probably the same amount of time the average hobbyist takes to construct the home edition.

Yeah, I'll never understand why its so hated among the Gundam Hardcore. I consider myself a Hardcore Gundam fan, but it seems as if I'm the only one that enjoyed Gundam Wing. I think its because most hardcore Gundam fans are stupid and they hate Wing because its one of the more different series (along with G Gundam of course). It seems to me that just about every series except a few are entirely focused on making the Orginal Series Lightning strike again.-Zen- said:
Seed's story was actually pretty good. It serves as an pretty interesting foil to the issue of genetic engineering in the real world. Its a shame the series had to have such an asterisk beside it because of those damn annoying main characters. Never have more emo tears been spilled in a Gundam series. Without them, Seed would have gone from Okay, to actually pretty good.PedroSteckecilo said:
I was actually rooting for Le Creuset to win in the end, it would have been more satisfing.
I still like Wing, just for completely different reasons than any of the UC Gundam that I like (which is all of it). The problem I have with Wing is usually the hollow idealism in it. 00 has a strong sense of idealism, but it isn't overbearing and it is balanced by the high amount of tactical combat involved in the series. Wing took every chance it could get to throw pacifism in your face, while simultaneously focusing on some fantastic battle sequences. What made Wing's idealism feel so hollow was it often seemed to be the same key phrases re-worded over and over again, you just didn't feel like it was going anywhere.matrix3509 said:
The only series I actually disliked would be the Seed ones and G. I remember liking G when I first saw it, but I started watching it again recently and I just couldn't bring myself to finish it.
Char's Counterattack is my all time favorite, followed closely by the original and Zeta. More recently, 00 very quickly climbed my favorites list and is only getting better as the second season nears it's ending.
G Gundam is basically all of Japan's love of Gundam mixed with all their rampant xenophilia and xenophobia at once.PedroSteckecilo said:Though yes, the MS designs are pretty good.
