I've already started scripting the next episode. Don't forget to back Human Shield on Indiegogo! Link in the description!
Considering the time between episodes here, are you aiming with part 4 to coincide with the RG RX-78-2 v2.0 release then?
Good coverage, but lose the cringy political stuff, it’s really distracting too
"War is hell, buy our toys!"
This is the best description of Gundam ever. Mind if I steal it?
@@BigMicahC Go ahead, heard that from an anime convention years ago.
War is hard business! (Gundam Battle Assault 2 when playing Char
s storyline) so buy our toys so we can continue the war
Yeah and feddies are the goodguys *kof kof* me buying alot of Zakus because they look cooler than the GM's
Its secretly anaheim electronics
It's the Tex talks battletech of Gundam and I'm all for it
"Soon the encounters will be in space..." he said it! He said the line!
The original series and the White Base team are really strange when you put it in realistic military terms. They are a civilian militia fleshed out with a few ROTC-type cadet officers, armed with the most cutting edge weaponry available, and tossed into (& emerging victorious) against enemy forces again and again until their very appearance on the battlefield becomes a nightmare for the opposing side.
Imagine a movie about a bunch of Civil Air Patrol weekend kids lucking into experimental stealth fighters and RUNNING an carrier in the middle of WW3, then slowly turning into Maverick by the end of the movie. That's about the right vibe for Gundam.
That sums it up
Except Amuro did grow up with as engineering genius or prodigy and Bright was indeed assigned to sail in that super weapon fleet. Your analogy about weekend kids lucking into experimental weapon is not equivalent with the plot details
@@scylla4342 Perhaps I used some hyperbole, but with the exception of Bright (who WAS a green ROTC/OCS type), they were all civilians, and hence militia of a type once armed...and militia do not normally get equipped with the most advanced weapons a military has. In fact, it is usually the reverse. I stand by by my comparison.
@@MM22966 nobody equip them, they’re merely taking refuge in a ship that was intended to command and operate by anyone that already got murdered
Fun fact: the American voice actor that played Ramba Ral, also played Norris Packard in 08th MS Team
Didn't he also voice gato
Movie trilogy Ramba voiced Norris, as well as Crank Zephin from IBO. Origin Ramba voiced Gato.
@@chrisphelps4552I was about to say cause Ramba ral in the og anime it was definitely not the same guy who voiced Norris, and while I do like the voice to Norris I don’t see it working with ral.

I was drinking an energy drink when you made that Mia Kalifa comment. It went up my nose so thanks
Just wanted to say I just binged all 4 parts of this and it was amazing. Watched the major series of the one year war years ago and your review was great.
i wasn't expecting the "Le Ding," but i appreciate it.
7:06 this ties back into the WWII inspiration that the Universal Century timeline gradually came to adopt: Zeon's insistence on specialized prototypes and their maintenance issues echos that of German tank and airplane development in WWII that saw many machines produced that, while impressive from a technical standpoint, could never be built in enough numbers to be a strategic factor, such as the Tiger Tank or the Me-262 Jet Fighter. This meant that Germany had to rely on the 1930's-vintage Panzer IV tank and Bf-109 fighter plane until the end of the war, adapting these chassis to their very limit and fielding increasingly desperate designs that used them as a basis, much like the Zaku 1's being deploy as late as A Baoa Qu as there simply weren't enough "new" suits to go around.
Meanwhile, the GM can be compared to the US Sherman Tank, a mid-range design with a good gun that, while maybe not any great shakes unit-for-unit compared to German tanks, could be built in large numbers, was easily adapted and upgraded (including to the "Easy 8" model made famous as "Fury") and was easy to repair or replace if it were damaged.
@@DIEGhostfish the Germans built less than 2200 Tigers of all types.
The Americans built over 40,000 Shermans.
On a side note one of my favorites of the OYW gundams is the palerider. It really screams, "It's the assassin gundam"
Something everyone seems to ignore from the one year war that are far more important then people seem to realize:
Everyone in universe and in real life use half of humanity as the casualties for both the opening month of the war and the war as a whole, meaning the last 11 months of the war was only a rounding error compared to the losses taken from Operation British and the retaliatory strikes on Zeon colonies for it.
@@DIEGhostfish Given the Antarctic Treaty had the Federation agree to not strike colonies directly in exchange for no more colony drops, I think it's safe to say that the setting assumes that the Federation did destroy some of the colonies of Side 3 in retaliation for the gas attacks and Operation British.
The Zock has a Maser gun? Who did they design this suit to fight, Godzilla?
I don't see how you say Ramba is different in origins because he really isn't. He's DEFINITELY not a Zabi loyalist. Like his whole arc in Origins is about his disillusionment with what's happening to Zeon lmao
That’s what I thought. And origin was my introduction to the series. I really don’t see why this guy hates it so much.
@@noob4life777 It retcons some stuff that people don't agree with. I get it, but I just think the ramba ral take is not the hill to die on.
Origins covered the plot holes of the original series that Tomino made after Yasuhiko was hospitalized during the production of the original 1979 version.
Plus Ramba wasn't a zabi loyalist as in both the manga and ova he refused to partake in Operation British of installing the poison gas that it got him demoted. Also Ramba was smart enough to not be like his father in using the Deikun kids as political pawns under the Federation to start a coup as both the Kycillia and Gihren organizations are spying on them in exile. Both the Original 1979 and origins version had Ramba Ral trying to score points with the Zabis for the sake of his wife and troops having a better status in society. In one Gihren's Greed Scenario, Char taking charge as Casval allow Ramba and his unit to defect.
great video but I don't get how you came to the conclusion that Ramba Ral is Zabi loyalist in the origin. In the origin the Zabis were purging the Rals, he also refused to participate in operation british and got demoted.
It's funny that you mentioned how Zeon made a bunch of specialized mobile suits that went nowhere. Zeon realized this and tried to fix their problem by introducing the United Maintenance Plan. The plan was to use standardized parts to upgrade their frontline machines, i.e., turning the Zaku II into the Zaku Kai, the Rick Dom into the Rick Dom II, the Gouf into the Gouf Custom, etc. But by then, it was already too late, and the Zeeks were already back in space.
I think you missed it so I’ll give some props to Yoshikazu Yasuhiko & Kunio Okawara the Gundam designers, these men are the reason any of this is possible at all
I wanna know where you got some of those sweet Gihrens Greed cutscenes in such good quality
I have a damn good editor.
@@BigMicahC Are the animated clips with the 0079 in the corner from Gihren's Greed?
@@Tom3744 Those are from the Gundam Card Builder 0079 arcade game. They are on youtube as well(both the opening and the cutscenes) alongside its sequel: Gundam Card Builder 0083
Usually, typing in the JP name of the thing does the trick.
The games Gihren's Greed(Gihren no Yabou/ギレンの野望) for Sega Saturn, Blood of Zeon(Zeon no Keifu/ジオンの系譜), War for Zeon Independence(Zeon Dokuritsu Sensouki/ ジオン独立戦争記) [which has separate cutscenes for both the Feddies and Zeon] all have both opening and in-game cutscenes.
Menace of Axis(Axis no Kyoui/アクシズの脅威) and Shin Gihren's Greed(Shin Gihren no Yabou/新ギレンの野望) only have an opening and rely on using stills with text instead.
As for the one Wonderswan Color installment, (ギレンの野望 特別編 蒼き星の覇者) i haven't looked into that one, but i'm guessing the cutscenes there(if there's any) are very simplified.
-TSL, the editor
In that day this guy leaves Zeon behind 😂 49:53 he is truly traumatized
GM is why I loved UC timeline cuz it showed us the fundamental difference in tactical thinking between EFSF and Zeon during the OYW. While Zeon MS carries weapons that are capable of killing capital ships for their role, EFSF uses the GM specifically for Anit-MS actions only (Leaving the heavier enemy for the battleships to deal with), thus the standard GM isn't required to carry heavier weapons, and can be produced at minimal cost, giving the EFSF the ability to outnumber Zeon MS numbers by 10:1 by the end of the war.
Edit: I thought it was pretty clear that Ramba Ral in Origin is a Zeon loyalist
1:20:09 With all of the New Stuff coming out and all of the New One Year War Side stories I wonder what a Modern Day Gihren's Greed Map would look like...
Though I half expect the only way it could 'come back' is probably to Give it a Cosmic Era sized Tumor on it and say "You Can play a Blue Cosmos V.S. ZAFT V.S. ORB Union" World Scenario this time
I’ve have been so patiently waiting for this! So pumped can’t wait to see this tomorrow
Your talk of salted meats made me cook an entire pack of pork chops and proceeded to eat entire thing!
I sometimes wonder how well the Armorcore franchise's Mechs would compete with the Gundam Series Mechs. Some Gundam are extraordinary overpowered compared to other mechs. Having like a thousand miles worth of range and create ridiculous destruction. I think some Gundams have some Massively Hypersonic speed feats to sub relativistic speed tier.
Armored Cores against UC tech? Forget it, they'd get folded on the first beam rifle hit. The closest thing the AC franchise has created to match Minovsky particles is Kojima particles, and those things drop both Normals and NEXTs like a spent cigarette. When you're up against RX-78-2 you might as well be fighting White Glint at 1.0 reg because he'll melt you in a blink of an eye. Other alternative timelines might do better (CE, PD, AC) but in UC, Armored Cores are walking coffins
Absolute props to you, and your well spoken thorough explaination of the OYW. I can't wait to see the conclusion and more from you.
lol, New sub here!
I just watched your 2 parts yesterday and was wondering when the 3rd part will be coming out…
Love your vid 😊
I absolutely love these videos bro! Thank you so much for all the effort!
Thank you so much on making these videos of my favorite anime series it helps out so much on detail when you get too caught up in the drama of what's going on that you missed something that was important
as soon as you said you'd review Office Lady Haman Sama I subscribed
The Germans in ww2 did something similar with tanks, they kept creating developmenting better tanks that required specialty parts and it stretched them thin. So it fits for Zeon.
Looking forward to the next one
Amazing serious dude and I hope you continue with the rest of UC.
great videos man can not wait for Zeta and Double Zeta
All hell, it's here . Now i have to watch the first two videos again before i watch this one.
45:23 *cough* Gundam Valhalla *cough*
Also, the little mascot Acguy wearing the shirt should be called Shirtguy. Just saying.
Bro I just binged all of Mobile Suit Gundam, just started Zeta. My only real experience with Gundam in the past was watching G Gundam on Toonami back in the early 2000s. Then I played the game Gundam battle Assault 2 for PlayStation. I think I watched endless Waltz once as a kid. I always loved the series and knew I needed to get into it. I'm pissed I waited so damn long. Who would have thought I thought that this anime from 1979 would be so fucking intense and awesome
Ryu and Hamon were both prepared to die. They were the glue that held their respective teams together.
That's Japanese thinking for you. The point is to make the other poor slob die for his country, not you for yours.
its funny how the brig on the white base is basically a timeout corner for the kids on the team.
something of note for M'quve is he is also responsible for many MANY follies of the zeon front on earth. consisting of disrupting the partner machine concept of the gouf and doms being paired. M'quve literally got jealous and wanted the doms for himself and reallocated them to his units. embezzled a ridiculous amount of zeon resources and profits. he more or less literally screwed over his own admiral along with every other front as much as possible... seriously anyone who hasnt read up to what hes done, should its mind boggling what he got away with
more please :D
You know what's creepy concerning the augusta newtype lab? In the real world Augusta Georgia/south carolina there is a medical prison near the military base there, on top of being a big medically oriented college city in general
Quick question: The different side stories look like some are from games. What were they called? I'm gonna see if I can find some playthroughs.
Reflecting about Zeon's awful planning to build Mobile Suits, it kind of speak of how their beliefs and huge morale at the beginning of the war utterly blind them.
They really made utterly specialized MS, probably thinking they'll establish and colonize earth, busting Gorilla fighters and such for the times to come
Do you think the 'red shirts' on the GMs were at all inspired by the Star Trek 'red shirts'?
That Mia Khalifa comment tho lol
I wasn't ready for it
54:44 oh yeah I keep forgetting the original dub for Gundam had the black tristars with a southern accent XD
The only major team you didn't mention is the Revenge of idea i hope I spelled that right
381 kph is 236 mph, right?! I'm a bit confused here... 261 mph as you said, is well over 420 kph or near the top speed of a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport at 267. So, which is the top speed of the Dom?!
I'm just going to leave a hot take here. Even though the designs philosophy makes sense, and im only pointing out the aquatic ms, there are only 2 aqua gm variants vs. most of zeon aquatic ms doesnt do any justice in this video. Stats wise.
59:37 In other news this was where that SD Gundam Battle Alliance Gatherroad Squadron Framing Device came from.
Huh. I always wondered where they came from.
I always wondered, Why didn't Run use the Core Fighters weapons?
So many goddamn Gms!
Edit: the Aqua Gms aren't very great though. On the other hand, Zeon's amphibious ms are very capable.
Love your videos, I LOVE GUNDAM....I OWN EVERYBOOK,ART BOOK,APOCRYPHA BOOK,VIDEO GAME , AND ENOUGH GUNPLA TO RE SINK THE TITANIC! Your 4 parter of the 1 yr war is just brilliant! Thank you for this. Liked and subbed btw.😊😊😊
Haman-sama is my godess!!!
The clip at 2:57 where is it from?
It's from the Gundam Card Builder 0079's cutscenes. If you see a video on youtube called:
機動戦士ガンダム 0079 カードビルダー センモニムービー集
scroll to the 2-minute mark, you'll find it
Given I see this channel as a scholar of both Berserk and Gundam:
Which is more intolerable and wrong, Griffinth did nothing wrong or Zeon did nothing?
They're both pretty evil, and if you count the machinations of the God Hand, both are genocidal. The difference is that Griffith is way more personal for the reader because of the journey they've been on with Guts throughout Berserk. In Gundam, you're kind of separated from the people at the top of Zeon who gave the orders. So Zeon has the higher body count, but because of how personal Griffiths actions are, he's easier to hate.
Where are these 0079 animations from? (Not the 79 anime ones, i mean the ones that look like 80s/90s ovas)
From various Gundam games throughout the years (Gihren's Greed, Journey to Jaburo, etc)
@@BigMicahC ohh. That explains why they look so good. Thanks!
A war that lasted for only one year? Come on, that's not too bad...
Would you ever consider Doing a crossover with?It'sagundam
No. He does culture war stuff. I left that sector.
@@BigMicahC his itsagunpla channel is pretty stellar but yeah its unfortunate the whole culture war stuff gets in the way
54:46
Gamera Texas Dub reference?
Why have they not remade the Gundam series with "The Origins" art style?
During operation, Odessa Amoro was supposed to receive the gundam pixie
On some point they look like "Aldnoah Zero"
God I hope your salt explaination is sarcasm
I think you should rewatch origin again because I don’t think you’re remembering it right
Aqura gm is good if you ignore they had no ACEs and near 100% casualty rate the aqura guncannon had better showing with one piolt that bailed out. Also the zaon Aquatic units are shown 20 years later still full on par with nemo 2 and 3 and gm 3 suits. Also Zeon had the only dedicated in atmo flying suit the gouf flight type in the Zeon war for Independents.
If you're referencing Unicorn, those were experienced Zeon soldiers fighting trainees in old suits dude. Torrington was a training facility. The instant a competent pilot came out in that Byarlant, Zeon was toasted. Context is king.
@@BigMicahC more the half those experienced soldiers where second or third generation remints people born and raised labeled evil by the most corrupt and twisted government seance AD1940s. witch also on the record used g3 gas on two colonies for protesting before the federation framed the zobies for Diacums murder
@BigMicahC the Ballentine witch was a zeon design suit and half the pilots where the children of one year war soilder like the bitch in the mobile armor but no even in the Zeon war for independence the zeon had advantage in the water and aqura games git wrecked cause they just fucking suck. Like most gm and balls and well all federation units they where trash if not a gundam and even they had 50% casualty rate. Federation won by human wave with Ms. The Freddy Ace is not even half the score of the top 5 zeon acces.
How the fuck do you have your plan stopped by children!?
ask any parent
Very real to over hear people talk about you behind your back, infront of you.
"When you're losing to a land based mobile suit underwater to a mobile suit that's meant to be great underwater...."
That, my friend, is what we call plot armor. The Gundam ever being outclassed in any possible scenario? Illegal. Straight to jail.
Andrew Waltfeld from CE is Ramba Ral done right, not dying and joining the protagonists
Waltfeld sucks.
@BigMicahC I'd say he was a bigger threat to Kira and the Archangel than the Le Creuset team because he knew how to maximize his advantages in terrestrial combat. He came closest to taking out the Strike, which was down to its knife and without phase-shift armor. Plus the BuCUEs and the LaGOWE were some of the best land-based mobile suits of any faction in CE because of how functional and flexible they were. He could have beaten Kira if plot-armor wasn't a factor
He got whupped in the first fight he had with Kira.
