Like many, Gundam Wing was what introduced me to the Gundam franchise, and I'll always be grateful for it. It's also largely responsible for me getting into anime; at that point I had seen maybe a half a dozen anime movies on the Sci-Fi channel, but that was it. While I have subsequently seen the ma...

Happy to hear that there isn't that short a wait between the first and second sets. Second set should be coming out not that long after I wrap up watching the first set.

^I sure hope not. That was probably my biggest disappointment about the Zeta Gundam release. Looking very forward to this. Its my favorite of the Gundam series that have yet to be officially released here. Would have loved to have a dub, but I understand that financially it doesn't make sense to do ...

^Can't go wrong with Tomino's various non-Gundam 70's and 80's shows. Zambot 3, Space Runaway Ideon, Aura Battler Dunbine, Heavy Metal L-Gaim and Combat Mecha Xabungle are all highly recommended. Zambot 3 features the main character's pet riding along with him in the mecha in the vast majority of th...

Lots of death doesn't automatically mean he was depressed, especially when it fits the story, which was the case in Ideon. For example, his original "kill em all" ending, Zambot 3 was intended as a World War II metaphor and had nothing to do with his mental state. If depression was such a ...

One could argue Tomino has had that "split personality" throughout much of his career, his kill em all always had a more light hearted show immediately following them. And even his light hearted shows tend to have those types of tragic deaths like a Dellensen or Cahill in them aside from K...

So I decided to sit down and marathon this show and... it's pretty much a joke. There are so many issues with this show it's hard to tell where to begin: Unless I'm missing something, I don't get the "omg this show is amazing!!!111" commentary that people seem to be giving it. I know Tomi...

The concept of Shinn I thought was a good one. I really liked the start of the show, when they show his entire family getting killed because of Kira (although I don't think they ever went out and said it was Kira), and to have it eventually lead to a Shinn - Kira showdown later in the series was som...

Have wrapped the series up, and boy, what a disappointment that was. I suppose I should be happy that I watched the special edition via GundamInfo and not the original which had the final episode at half the length of what I saw. Is this the worst Gundam TV series I have ever seen? I would have to s...

With only 5 episodes left in the show, they waste two full episodes on the fake Lacus, the second of which is about 75% a clip show. 2 out of the last 10 episodes are clip shows? Unbelievable. Interested in seeing what this "Destiny Plan" is, but with a mere 3 episodes left, and the need t...

Flying through these episodes while I'm home sick and off from work and hope I can wrap this show up in the next couple of days. Now through episode 42 on GundamInfo (43 in the real series I believe since I think they skipped a clip show within the last couple of episodes?) Seeing Yuna get pawned by...

By the way, you didn't mention Heine ever! While his time was brief, his impact was pretty big for me. He represents the maturity that Athrun believes he should have by this point, and was an anchor for his current path in life; but Heine's death causes Athrun to see how much he has left to develop...

Through episode 29 now; was burned for the second time in 10 episodes when the preview for an episode got me excited about seeing some backstory only for said episode to be a clip show with hardly more then 2-3 minutes new footage. :( And made up almost entirely of footage from Seed as well. Episode...

Ugh, I suppose it comes with the territory given its the Seed sequel, but going into episode 20 I was really looking forward to it, hoping we'd get a lot more backstory for Shinn, who has been sorely underdeveloped to this point. Instead we get a clip show filled mostly with clips from Seed and we o...

Wasn't Andy brought back just because Fukuda liked the voice actor? He was clearly intended to die when Kira defeated him earlier in the series. So many deaths being completely ignored as if they never happened is one of the things that drives me crazy about that show. Having recently wrapped up a w...

14 episodes in now and the show is starting to drop in quality. 2 episodes in a row where Shinn and the others have been completely ignored in favor of giving Kira the spotlight again. I generally like Cagalli and feel bad for her being in the situation she was in (and hopefully is out of now) but w...

I'm up to the point where they are dropping Junius Seven on the Earth and things have been good so far. Liking it better than Seed to this point. I agree on the Impulse launch sequence though, and have since the first episode. In that first episode when it was taking all that time to combine I was w...

So after what must be around 10 years since its original release, having never seen a single episode of it, I have finally decided to take the plunge and watch Seed Destiny. Just finished a rewatch of Seed for the first time in years and seems natural to jump right into this. I know next to nothing ...

Heavy Metal L-Gaim OVA III has a character that pilots his mecha by playing a keyboard inside the cockpit. Been quite a while since I've seen it though so can't recall if it corresponds with the rest of the features you mentioned.

I enjoyed the first 2 episodes quite a bit, granted this will be the first Gundam series I'll be watching as it airs since Seed 12 years ago and its a Tomino show so maybe I'm coming into it really wanting to like it. The opening theme comes off like music that you would hear in a Mega Man game, ver...
