Yeah, Zeta Gundam is the best Gundam series for me, second is Victory. Too bad Wing and SEED get all the glory, nuffin but pretty boys and weak plots.

the thing is is that Gundam Wing came out in the U.S. before all the U.C. ones so now the little kid gundam fans have been brain-washed into thinking that Heero and Kira is really all there is. It pisses me to see a SEED/SEED destiny fan be so ignorant and not like something like Zeta gundam just because C.E. has "better characters and cooler mecha designs"

FAMKE!!!!!!!!

I didn't like the SEED/Destiny mech designs, I mean Impulse is a Strike rehash and the Destroy Gundam is the Psycho Gundam with a circular thingy slapped on its back. And Zakus!? I mean putting a backpack in a Zaku doesn't mean you created a new mobile suit design. Zeta had awesome mech designs, I mean you got Gaplants, Marasais, Hyaku Shiki etc.

Post over at the Animeondvd forums, there are loads of Gundam members and the forum is a thousand times more active than these old, run down boards.

Gundam Z is awesome!

Sir, you are in error. The first Gundam released in the U.S. was the movies for Mobile Suit Gundam followed by Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket and Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory. I know this because I bought them on VHS back in 1998 and there was a Gundam marathon all Saturday at Otakon '99. Long before Gundam Wing was first aired on Cartoon Nitwit the fall of '99, which was the biggest mistake Bandai made when marketing Gundam to the U.S.

well i dont think little kids in 98 were gonna go out of thier way to find those series. Gundam Wing aired on CN first which is a channel kids watch. those kids(most of them at least) whose first exposure to gundam was GW are the one who grew up to call GW the best gundam series and put down the UC series.

what i meant is that gundam wing was the first released publicly with advertising. i am aware 0080 and 0083 were released even before GW but they weren't marketed to the size of which gundam wing was.

Why oh why did Yazan not get what was coming to him in the end? That is the only part of this series that completely and utterly infuriates me. He is the only person in the series that truly deserved to die. But then they deny us even that satisfaction. I mean WTF?

His fate is revealed in Double Zeta.

Zeta is my favorite anime period. The UC stuff is fanstastic and some of the AU series are very good. I thought Wing was just "ok", even though I really liked Endless Waltz.

reply

And that is what leads me to my point that it was a mistake for them to put Gundam Wing on Cartoon Nitwit first. I have no respect for Wingers as they act like it's the first and only Gundam series. I don't even consider them Gundam fans just Wingers.

Yeap, it's quite amazing.
