G-Gundam is just campy... that's why I like it. I think people who ask too many technical questions on a show like G-Gundam are really missing the point...

The real Gundam continuity is much more serious and some of the OAVs are incredibly powerful.

The alternate universe Gundam Titles
(like G-Gundam, Turn-A Gundam and Gundam Wing) all have their own style and mood and should be appretiated for what they are.

Ah yes...G...good series, but if you're in the mood for something with a more serious tone, save it...much better when you want one where you can put your brain in neutral

*sees the Nether Gundam pic* Man...that became the show's regular punching bag...what the Hell was Neo-Holland thinking to make 40 of those (I shit you not if you don't believe me, they show them all later)

Still, while a lot of the mechs are goofy there are some decent designs (God Gundam, Bolt, Master, Dragon, and Spiegel are all pretty cool)

Sorry for bringing this one back up...hadn't noticed it before...

Yeah, that one was LOL. Its a badly shaped pun on hollands screwed-up culture. Windmills? Very non-efficient. Should be foldable, etc.

Personally my gundam would have solar panels. If my idea for beam ebergy-shielding works, it should be able to absorb both high-frequency beam energy from lasers and the sun, plus be cheap and durable. Just coat the damn gumdams back with piezoelectric i think no no thtat one... crystal.


It can;t move, nor can you service it. TIme for some product bashing. It's a freaking VOLVO DESIGN.

ok.. i don't think i'm the only one in this, but.. last week i got an anime invasion magazine (even though it sucked besides excel saga :D ) .. and they had a BIG g gundam list with pictures where they showed you all of the gundams...
DAMN!!!!! i was dead laughing at how UGLY those things were!
what kinda crackhead character pilots windmills, big bull heads, and cobras! the colors didn't match whatsoever (and i mena blue and brown, purple with yellow and grey). Plus i mean their names were so lame and frickin stupid! the canadian gundam was called the lumberjack gundam. They even had a gundam from mexico called the tequila gundam, for gods sake that was a waste of pages in that magazine!

Well to clarify on some of those statments
a) Nether Gundam's pilot is never seen ergo his drug usage can't be determined
The Matador Gundam's pilot seems pretty sober for what little screen time he gets
and the Cobra Gundam's pilot also seems sober (although he looks quite anemic)

As for the names (and in part this also explains the designs)...well, let's face it, the nation of Japan as a whole isn't as familiar with other culture, so for audiences to recognize the nationalities the creators fell back on stereotypes (hence such creations as Tequila and Lumber Gundam)...

Fun fact: Actually, the mech designs weren't the creator's original idea...he wanted to make an entirely different show, the studio heads rejected it, dropped a bunch of weird-ass Gundam designs down and prettymuch told him "Make us a show with these"...all things considered, I'd say he handled it pretty well...
