well SRW Z2 is out and i would like to say its been a damn long time since they use the TV ver. of the Gundams in Gundam Wing (they've been using the EW ver. alot in thier games)

OMFG, now i wanna watch Gundam so baddddddddd! lol, which one is the best series again? I've only seen bits of pieces of a couple of the series, i was never able to watch it on a consistent basis when it was on Toonami!

That question is pretty much unanswerable unless I get some info on your personal tastes. Such as do you prefer serious or comedic? Over the top or realistic? Political overtones en masse or just as a side dish? Cheesy or serious and so on. Answer these and I can help I've seen about half or more of the 26+ series so I think I can help. Oh and animation as well dp you mind 70s stke 80 or 90s as well or do you pretty much need it to be CG like nost modern anime?


EDIT also does it need to have been on toonami cause that removes at least half the gundam series out there.

00 has the best balance tbh, not to mention it's the easiest to watch directly if you've never seen any of the 3789791 other gundam series.

What the.... I've never heard of this series! I tried to look it up abit and saw there's gameboy advance and ds versions for North America but none look like this psp one Why is all the good stuff for psp only for Japan? I really need to learn Japanese asap I guess...

Saw that a NA PS3 version comes out next January

Thanks for the heads up Shishca. /bow


Oh btw saw they are going to make this for 3DS, probably just for Japan but still Gundam in 3D seems amazing. Are Nintendo systems region locked to only play games in their region or do they play all games? Would I have to get a Japanese 3DS to play Japanese games? Ive heard with psp only the movies were restricted to the region and the games would play on all systems if I remember correctly.

just doing what i can do to let people be aware about this awesome game

My preference for gindam is Wing , 00 and unicorn have been the one's i've enjoyed the most

Going to give Kurogane no Linebarrels a go tomorrow...what a bugger it was to find though.

And i finished FMO:Brotherhood and am really pissed that i spent £260 on the original...it was a much more enjoyable series than the previous and actually ended well, just need to wait and see if the release the DVD's in the UK.

08th MS Team> Gundam Wing > Char's Counter Attack movie > Unicorn > other gundam series > Gundam seed and Seed 2

[Sorrior]

@ Pandra the 3DS is indeed region locked they did it cause of the online store supposedly.

@Niyari I disagree about 00 while it started great I feel the second season really ruined it with the movie even being far better.

And again yo the guy asking about gundam just give us some more info and we can find one best suited to your tastes. Unlike the others here I'm not gonna ramble off my favorites since these are being recommended for you I feel I should match my advice to your tastes.

Oh man. I now want this game. It looked cool before but...
If that actually plays during a fight that would be beyond awesome.

Keep in mind with the first one though That series reached its end far before the manga ended, thus the ending was doomed to be done haphazardly. For anime's though, the first one still isn't terrible if you discount the lackluster ending Because i did enjoy watching that one through~ (I also didn't have as much access to anime during that time in my life when it was being aired and shown for the first time, so to me that seemed golden) But Brotherhood Does blow it away and i'm very happy that the 2nd series did the series a grand justice ^_____^ and totally redeems the series for having a bad ending in the first series and a bad movie as well =P

Well the problem is my tastes are scattered! Sometimes i like funny stuff :) Altho i must admit i haven't found too many anime's that could get me to laugh on a regular basis xD (I have had many that have made me facepalm so hard it left a red mark on my head for a bit LOL) I can certainly say i don't like Political that much, god not a ton of politics, i can handle that in Low doses so side dish lol. I do like serious, but a lil cheesy on the side is ok :) (I do love trigun and cowboy bebop after all, those definitely have some cheesy on the side lol). As for the Animation it can be any style, I in fact enjoy older styles :) They seem refreshing against the modern day anime~ Doesn't have to be all CGe to be good lol. Realistic is better coupled with seriousness lol, doesn't mean over the top isn't bad, but that doesn't always make a series awesome (Altho i admit the over the top randomness of FLCL was lovely <3 and i have seen a Gundam series be over the top xD the finishing moves always seem flashy =O least from the series i was watching). Ok i know that all sounded eh confusion but it's 5ammm i should be sleeping xDDD I'll come back later today and give a better response if that is not sufficient ^.^~ Thank You~~

@ lone drifter what you've asked for fits Gundam X quite well a bit of cheese mild politics serious story and so on you want Gundam X.

Though Turn A may work as well it has more politics but not even half as much as alot of the other series(gundam and politics are kinda inseparable) another good one is gundam ZZ. But yeah Gundam X or Turn A should be some of your best matches.

I know...the problem was at the time i hadn't started downloading any anime and had ended up buying the original anime and it was fine up until they finished with the priest in Lior, after that though it started to suck and it sucked bad enough that when brotherhood came out i watched the first few episodes and saw they were retelling the same story then avoided it like the plague.
Luckily though after reading all the positive comments in this thread about it i decided to give it another go and am glad i did and pissed that i wasted money on crap the first time round.

Yeah fans of the orginal Need to know that the second one is only similar to the first one for the first handful of episodes ^^ Then it becomes far far more different and interesting~~ And I'm glad this thread convinced you to do otherwise

I've seen all Gundam I could find and if I have to be perfectly honest none could ever compared to Kidou Senshi Gundam 00 so it's in my opinion the best one.

00 has the best balance tbh, not to mention it's the easiest to watch directly if you've never seen any of the 3789791 other gundam series.

Not seen any of the other Gundams might be the case for me since I saw 00 first but even so ^^;

OMFG, now i wanna watch Gundam so baddddddddd! lol, which one is the best series again? I've only seen bits of pieces of a couple of the series, i was never able to watch it on a consistent basis when it was on Toonami!

I'd recommend watching 00 to be honest, I think it has the most appeal of all of them since it's the newest and most serious which has meaning in it. It's not like the recent super deformed crap and the few ovas :-/

[tanksin the enhance shamy]

that first amv was pure win...whats the anime thou?
