Gundam was a fad a while back in the USA, but Im still looking for some models XD

My favorite gundam series/movie is Char's Counterattck 100%

Also, im collecting rare-ish models form G Gundam, so far I have 'GF13-041NSI Ashura Gundam', 'GF13-039NP Jester Gundam', 'JDG-00X Devil Gundam' and 'Gundam Heaven's Sword'.

Does anyone have 'Grand Gundam' and/or 'Walter Gundam'? Those are the final ones to compleate my 'Grand Master Gundam' collections.

I love Gundam! when I was little I use to watch it all the tym!! In my oppinion the origanal up to 0083 was the best! I hate the G Gundam and what not! with the exception of Gundam Wing! I Love "War in the pocket" and "8th ms team" "one year war" "0080" and "0083" they were the best!

I also collect the models. but I don't have as many as you by far!

lol. We have diffrent opinons!

I personaly hated 08th, but I dont think there is an 80 or an 83, unless I know them by a diffrent name...

But Ive been collecting models and kits for about 5 years, so ill have a bunch of them..

Doea anyone know where I can get TurnA kits and models?! They are so damn hard to find!

personally the only gundam i liked was gundam seed... it was just weird how the artwork seemed "jolly", with vibrant colors and all, BUT THE STORY WAS SO GOD DAMN DEPRESSING!!! it was like a living contradiction! thats why i liked it.

2) You can't finish Seed Destiny until it's finished.
3) Fllay is not evil! :whistle:
4) Destiny > Strike Freedom

i agree completely. Gundam Seed/Destiny is probably my favorite Gundam series. Gundam Wing follows closely after that. Strike Freedom rules and my hatred for Flay still burns strong. grrrrr. so yeah. GO GUNDAM SEED!!! XD

I bet you didn't even know that Tomino only took the job at the very beginning becase he wanted the money to fund his true interest of making an actually realistic sci-fi movie.

When you think about it, Gundam is realistic, but in the far future. Its 100% realisitc other then the fact of movynski particals (sp?)

And sure, I just might make a Gundam veteran club, thanks for the idea :P

Also, I was just stating the fact that you all seem like you only watched the new series, no oldies ;)

Gundam is realistic? Gundam may be the precusor of the "Real Robot" genre (as opposed to the "Super Robot" genre), but Gundam ceases to be realistic once you start scratching at the surface. Minovsky particles aside, each and every gundam series have their own lists of improbabilities. Remember the original Universal Century timeline, you f00.

1957.10.04 AD
The Soviet Union successfully launches Humankind's first artificial satellite.
1961.04.17 AD
The Soviet Union successfully launches a manned artificial satellite.
1969.07.20 AD
America successfully lands on the Moon's surface with Apollo 11.
1969 AD
Dr. G.K. O'Neill and others announce their space colony concept.
1990s AD
In every region of the world, border disputes and regional conflicts repeatedly erupt.
1999 AD
The Earth Federation government is established. The human space colonization program is announced.

In the far future? Riiiiiiiight. Some pro you are.

Lastly, ask someone - anyone - doing physic sciences in university just how "realistic" Gundam is compared to Battletech or even the original Patlabor, and ask them again how "realistic" Mazinger/Tranzor Z is compared to Gundam, and you get a feel for what is "realistic".

If you're reading this and you're taking this seriously, go "get a life". Or watch some Gundam. Yzak is t3h sex >3.

If your truly a fan of Gundam, you would know that all the series are in an alternate universe but:
Gundam 0079
Gundam 8TH MS Team 0079
Gundam War in the Pocket 0080
Gundam Principality Strikes Back 0083
Gundam ZETA 0087
Gundam ZZ 0088
Gundam Chars Counter Attack 0093
Victory Gundam 0153
G-Saviour 0223

The bold numbers are the year it is in. There is no referance or conversion between UC [the calleneder in this particular Gundam bunch] and what ever we use, so I dont know where you got those dates. And when I said "In the far future", who ever said I ment the first bundle? I could have been talking about Turn A Gundam which is based 2000 years after our first sapce launch, in a new callender in CC2345.

And if your such a pro, you would know that there are 5 callenders, or atlernate universes in Gundam. UC, FC, AC, AW and CC

1) Show me where I proclaimed that I am a fan or pro of Gundam.

2) You don't know anything about those dates? Shame on you.

3) The original Gundam didn't have a date, did it? So when did it happen?

4) You can't ignore the UC in favour of the Alternate Universes when it comes to discussing the "realisticness" of the Gundam series as a whole.

HAHAHAR I AM SO ENJOYING THIS.

1) Show me where I proclaimed that I am a fan or pro of Gundam.

Well, assuming you knew all these "facts", I thought you were. So if your not, why are you arguing?


2) You don't know anything about those dates? Shame on you.

Yes, I do. It does say 1999. I did say it is 100% possable, but it doesnt mean the dates are true. The show was made in 1979, so what? As I said, who said I said I was talking about the UC universe? CC seems more possable anyways.


3) The original Gundam didn't have a date, did it? So when did it happen?

I said it already:

Gundam 0079
Gundam 8TH MS Team 0079
Gundam War in the Pocket 0080
Gundam Principality Strikes Back 0083
Gundam ZETA 0087
Gundam ZZ 0088
Gundam Chars Counter Attack 0093
Victory Gundam 0153
G-Saviour 0223

4) You can't ignore the UC in favour of the Alternate Universes when it comes to discussing the "realisticness" of the Gundam series as a whole.

Well, UC does seem more realisitic when compared to our current technology. But G-SAVIOUR is UC, and that is very high tech. It actauly seems less possable then Turn A Gundam, so what now!?


HAHAHAR I AM SO ENJOYING THIS.

Im am too.

1) Who needs a reason to argue? Who doesn't like arguing? BURN THE INFIDEL!!1!

2)Who said you were talking the UC universe? Why can't I read his/her/their post(s)?! IS THIS A CONSPIRACY OF SOME SORT TO VIOLATE MY RIGHT OF ARGUING?!?!?!?!

*cough*

Which CC are you talking about? The anime, or the manga?

3)In a pre-production memo, Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino wrote that the first series takes place in 2066 AD, which would have the Universal Century calendar starting in 1988 AD. However, a "2079" date stamp in the first Gundam series's episode 26 and a "2087" date stamp in Zeta Gundam's episode 8 indicated a 2001 AD starting date.

Based on a dated newspaper shown in the last episode of the Gundam 0080 OVA series written by GAINAX's Hiroyuki Yamaga (Monday, January 14, 0080), the Universal Century can be pinpointed to begin in several specific years, including 2053, 2081, 2109, and 2149. In the Universal Century chronology, the last dated entry of the AD system was 2045 AD, leading to the common misconception that UC 0001 followed immediately afterwards. A few early unofficial sources even listed UC 0001 as 2046 AD (or even 2045, using bad math), but current official materials indicate the presence of a gap of years between the AD and UC calendar systems. Therefore the first year of the Universal Century calendar is deduced on the official Gundam website in North America as being 2053, 2081, 2109, or possibly later, meaning UC 0079 would correspond to 2131, 2159, 2187, or later.

4)UC is not realistic when compared to our physics. But this is what we (I?) are (am?) talking about "relative realisticness".

1) We need a point to argue. Its like yelling at your grandma for no reason, just to yell.

2) If we wernt talking about UC, then CC is possable because it takes place 2000 years from about 50 years ago ;)

3) Those dates were placed in shows of the UNIERSAL CENTURY, and who said I said that UC was the 100% realisitic one? It could have been Gundam Wing that I was talking about for all you know.

40 I dont get your last post for #4..

1) That happens quite often, only I'm the one getting yelled at. My grandma also talk to walls. <3

2) I'll give you that, given as I watch Star Trek and Stargate. >=(

3) So? I was the one who began talking about the UC, and you responded to my topic.

4)Whether something is realistic or not is not decided against out technology, but by our natural laws (of physics, for example).

Dadada.. I'll just add: You forget Cosmic Era, f00l.
And correction: Gundam 0083: STARDUST MEMORIES (HOW DARE YOU MISLABEL THAT ONE)
and.. you left out Gundam F-91: Formula Wars (meh, forgot the date.. somewhere around UC120)

and Let's not forget all the Gaiden(Sidestory) since you've put in 08th MS Team.

Gundam Blue Destiny: Blue shock (this one is pretty big, if you're anywhere above "I only know gundam wing" fanboy, then you should've at least heard of this)
Gundam 00xx: Green divers (Can't remember the date, but this minor comic is very important in terms of the Gundam universe MSV, this created the whole series of federation underwater units such as G-Diver)
Gundam Sentinel (and its contribution to post Z MSV, of its Fullarmor Double Zeta (not the same FAZZ from ZZ), Zeta Plus and many many Zeta types, and the whole Gundam MkIII and beyond thing)
Crossbone Gundam (You probably haven't heard of this one, its entirely manga only and it was just after F-91.. and you missed that too.)
Char's Counterattack: Hirameki no Hasawei (A novel (and later OVA? not sure) focusing a lot on Bright's son Hasawei Noah and his experiences during the war)

These are Officially recognised series, there're a lot more unofficially recognised, but popular novels and such.

So much for our gundam Vet huh?
Actually, You've said your favorite was CCA. So then, have you heard of
Hi-v(nu) and Nightingale? You probably don't even know a lot about even your favorite series.


"Gundam is realistic"

Minovsky particles, Gundarium Alloy, The whole theory behind beam technology, humanoid robots, combat in space.. they all make about as much sense in terms of physics as Dragonball Z.

To point out one simply: Gundam's head vulcans fire (can't remember now.. was it 75mm or 80mm?) twin vulcans at a rate of roughly 6 rounds per sec. Measure up the mass of that round, calculate the force of it when you fire that many rounds that fast, and we get a conclusion that Gundam gets a very high rotational anticlockwise velocity(on the basis that it is "facing right") that cannot be balanced out by any of the boosters is has. and yet it doesn't even flinch when it fires. And where do the ammo come from? Its head is tiny and is full of computers..



Although I've seen almost all the gundam series, own a LOT of the models, played all the games and read all the manga, I'm still afraid to call myself a "Gundam Pro" cuz there're millions only in Japan that far surpass my knowledge of Gundam.

And we all know, Tomino's a crazed massacre maniac, Fukuda is an idiot, and we don't care about the other directors.

Final word RD, Don't try to argue Gundam with Asians. We're a whole dimension of expertise higher than you :whistle:

RD
September 16th, 2005, 05:12 pm
Ah.

First off, I didnt forget any but F91, I just used a side name and dates. Vulcans were 60MM.

Also, to contradict your saying that Gundam is based in 2030 somthing, have you herd of Gaia Gear? Probably not, because it was never released out of Japan. But Gaia Gears is based 100 years before the 1 year war, and according to Reds dates, that would base it in the 1930's.

Nice try, but Gaia Gear is not canon.

That's on Tomino's "I never should have created and you should ignore" list, along with Victory - the only difference being that he has declared Gaia Gear not canon.
