Board 8 > MS Gundam Trilogy was pretty awesome

(+) Yeah! (+)

Without having seen the original show, I could feel that the movies obviously condensed things. There characters and plots that either came out of nowhere or left suddenly and sometimes awkwardly. But overall they were good. I don't know why I thought every Gundam series besides G was bad and melodramatic, but I'm happy to be wrong. I can't wait to watch Zeta! To think I started watching these just to get more appreciation out of DWG3 and now I don't want to play that because I get some story spoiled. >_>

I'm glad you approved. I'm of the opinion that the movie trilogy is superior, personally; it cut out a lot of the less-than-stellar elements of the series and actually managed to expand the final battle significantly with new animation sequences. Either way it's a good viewing though!

Zeta is terrific. Be prepared to be amazed.

I am rewatching Zeta right now as well.

I finished the movies for the first time the other day too. They did a good job with editing. I felt they captured the most important moments just right. I mean "THIS AIN'T NO ZAKU BOY. NO ZAKU" ends the first movie >_> you can't ask for more than that.

Yes it does do a good job with breaking down a show into some movies. At least from what I can tell

Glad to see Gundam getting some well-deserved love on b8 lately.

ZZ gets a lot better at the midway point. Before that I have no qualms with calling it the worst series I've seen. It finally pulls itself together and gets pretty alright later on though.

So if I remember right, I should be going 'Trilogy - Zeta (series) - Char's Counterattack' right?

--
You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

ZZ comes after zeta and technicall three spinoff series (08th team, war inthe pocket and stardust memory) occur between the trilogy and ZETA and the IGLOO ovas come before the trilogy

that said, if you want the "main saga what you have plus ZZ is right.

I've always preferred the original to Zeta. Until recently, I didn't know that I'm in the minority. Zeta's still great though.

ZZ is full of filler, almost as bad as 0079 TV series. If you want to watch them in order they came out chronologically:

0079
Zeta
ZZ
Char's Counterattack
Unicorn
Victory

I would skip ZZ but it plays a small role in Unicorn, which is the true objective of watching through the UC saga in my opinion.

08th MS Team technically occurs during the original series/trilogy.

You should save the side stories until after you've finished all the ones you want to watch.

I should mention I'm watching these dubbed, and I'm sad to see Bright lost his cool movie voice. :(

That stuff right there is the classic topnotch Gundam, oh hell yes. And yeah, I decided to skip ZZ after watching some of it, but other than that UC is all topnotch in my book.

You name it. Not to drop bombs, but they don't call him Kill 'em All Tomino for nothing.

Ha, on second thought I edited 'em out. There's no way for that not to be spoilery.

So is Camille supposed to be a psychopath or something

It's supposed to be a girl's name, that's for sure.

I love me some Gundam, but I think Zeta is one of the worst I've watched.

It's got suit designs as a plus, but the characters, dialog, and plot are so much trash.

Zeta Gundam is the best Gundam series by far, in my book.

I mean the Zeon weren't great people (besides char~), but at least they weren't portrayed as horrible monster people

Yeah, the Titans are villains. Truly.

yeah, the melodrama is played way too high for Seed and anything directly related to it. everything else, apart from G, is either some weird mix, G Gundam, has next to none of it, or is one of those where everyone dies. though the last one tends to involve drama because, well, death runs like water in a river.

Oh and obviously this guy is Char, but they go so over the top with it that I almost expect him NOT to be Char. Especially his with that remark "Oh ya know a lowly ol pilot like me cant resist mentioning the great Char the Red Comet since hes so great and im just your average joe yep nothin special about me at all unlike Char"

I bet sakurai will beg final fantasy to put Cloud in the game. -CloudXSoldier talking about Brawl

I've seen enough gundam by now to know that if two people are talking to each other, there's a good chance one or both of them are going to get slapped in that same scene.

There aren't a lot of slapping outside of the Tomino directed Gundam stuff.

Well I don't remember much in G Gundam

It got way too awesome for its own good when Amuro came into the picture.

It did start to get better once Amuro came in and "Quatro" left

Coincidence?
