Who else saw this first but now likes the earlier shows way more?


I do. So far, I've seen the first ten episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam, the first twenty and last ten of Zeta Gundam, the first twenty of Victory Gundam, and Char's Counterattack.

What about the rest of you? Who else saw SEED first but now likes the earlier shows way more?

To each his own.

I still like Seed, but Destiny was VERY disappointing. Zeta Gundam is probably THE best Gundam show because of its character development.

I always thought SEED was a good remake of 0079 but Destiny was a poor attempt to re-create Zeta Gundam. The reason why Shinn became the enemy of Kira is because his Japanese VA had a falling out with Fukuda's wife, so in return she made his character crappy and switched Kira for the main character. And that's also the reason why there were many script delays that resulted in using a lot of clip episodes.

I heard it from MAHQ.net and I read a lot of problems about Fukuda's wife on some websites and interviews. I really dunno about the politics in the Japanese seiyu business but it seems obvious she's one of the reasons why the show suffered problems.

Well, thus far I've seen all of Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny, the first fifteen episodes of Gundam 00, and the entirety of The 08th MS Team.

Truth be told, I don't have much of a preference. I like 00 so far, and 08th MS was great, but I still like the conceptual design in SEED more than that of the UC.

Destiny was indeed quite the disappointment, but I can't say it was a total loss. While watching it, I keep getting the feeling that there's a great show trapped in there just screaming to be let out. That, and I absolutely love Stellar.

Then you need to watch more UC shows, preferably Zeta or Victory. Check out the other OVAs too like War in the Pocket.

I'm a little confused here. What exactly did you mean by that statement? You started with "then you need to...". A "then" statement is usually preceeded by an "if" condition, so do you mean if I don't like the UC shows better than SEED, then I need to watch more UC shows, or did you mean something else?

Please understand that I'm not criticizing or mocking you at all. I just don't quite understand what you meant. I wasn't knocking the UC shows either, as I loved The 08th MS Team.

Oh that's cool. I just misunderstood the part where u said u like the conceptual design on SEED better than UC. I didn't mean any insult. Sorry.

Yeah, "conceptual art" might have been a better way to put it. I just meant that I like the way the Cosmic Era machines look.

i liked seed better than original gundam the tv. but the compliation movies wich are amore serious (and like 3 hours each) are great. i have only seen the new translation compilations of zeta and they seem way too compressed, zz is ok, and char's counter attack was decent 0080 was excelent, 0083 and 08th ms team were ok, i personally liked gundam wing alot but i can understand where peoples complaints about it come from and why some people hate it. i never finihed gundam x and couldn't stand g gundam and i'll try to watch victory asap.so for me the 3 0079 movies were the best but seed isn't too far behind. with a guilty liking of gundam qing running along side.

reply

saw g gundam first, and still like that. but like all the UC series a lot more. just started gundam seed and it is a bland imitation of mobile suit gundam. the only major difference is kira's friendship with athrun.

and why would you skip the whole middle of zeta gundam? are you *beep* stupid? why watch a series out of order? that makes no sense at all.
