Seriously some of the best mecha content on youtube. mix of highbrow and lowbrow, funny, epic. I'd love an episode where you talk a bit about yourselves. I tell everyone I know to watch this channel constantly. I love when Rob drops some seriously deep insights. This episode took priority over everything else I had to do today.

Jokes aside, you fellas have some quality ass content here. Always enjoy your vids, especially the ones about Gundam. If you guys would tackle Unicorn at some point that'd be great
The funniest part is I always pronounced it “Gundumb”, but since I started watching this channel saying “Gun-damn” has been rolling off pretty naturally. Looking forward to the next one!
I gotta admit, I was never a Bright fan from playing the games as a kid, but after watching the TV series and Zeta, I like his character arc. Absolute foil to Bask, and it makes absolute sense why Londo Bell would replace the Titans with Bright being so influential--he's not afraid of Newtypes. He treats them like he would anyone else. ...BY BITCH SLAPPING THEM WHEN THEY CUT UP >=D
I just finished building my RG 1/144 Sazabi model kit, and I can't wait to see the new Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash movie sometime next year, hopefully! I absolutely love the Universal Century! 😊
More Ted content please. Also, I just recommended OG Gundam (the movie trilogy, not the series) to a friend of mine a few months back - I wish you all had talked a bit more about the trilogy, since it's really the best way to experience OG Gundam, IMO. Still, good video.
Yeah, the movies are probably the better way to go with the original story (or maybe The Origin manga). But I didn't slog through an entire series to not scream about it for an extended period, goddammit.
You guys are incredible! I am a massive Gundam fan and I am so happy I found your channel. The only thing I don't like is that I can't be a part or your amazing conversations 🤣
@@WeHeartGiantRobots hahaha well great job, regardless. The editing and humor is excellent as well. Keep it up! Even if there isn't a steady upload schedule, I thoroughly enjoy your 'reviews' whenever they come out 🧐😂
There are some subtle hints about the existence of newtypes throughout the series. Matilda calls Amuro an "esper" in the TV series. In the films she flatout refers to him as a newtype while addressing Bright. It's also hinted the Federation treated the White Base and its entire crew as guinea pigs by purposely limiting access to resources and assigning them frontline in their diversionary forces to exploit/observe potential newtype awakenings. At Jaburo, the entire crew, including the three orphans, undergo physical examinations and psych evaluations. Amuro states his was longer and more extensive. Hell, this is also the justification why the orphans are allowed to remain on the WB. There are quite few more I'm forgetting about, but they're suuuuper subtle and easy to miss. The movie trilogy's altered deposited and structure is much more overt about it.
From what Rob's rambled, it sounds like the movies manage to get the point across a lot more clearly. Which checks out, they didn't have the equivalent of an entire movie slashed from their production (as far as I'm aware).
Honestly, i think u got it wrong. While Fed did have interests in Amuro as a NT. They were mostly about his abilities in battle. The lack of supply early was due to they were deep into Zeke zone and they still got somewhat irregular supply runs. Those supply runs were not risky at all!!! By Jaburo, the High Command slashed 2 Salamis escort for White Base after Char's assault demonstrated Zeon's obsession to the Trojan Horse. They recognized WB could be an excellent bait and WB acted admirably at that role allowed for much safer launchs from Jaburo and a portion of Grenada defense fleet got smashed chasing The Trojan Horse. They even developed Alex for Amuro as next gen MS with all the new techs around.
I am hyped to see you guys talking about Mad Max with gundam a.k.a Gundam X PS: I think i am the only brazillian who watches this Channel. I don't regret it :3
Funny enough, they do talk about new types early on. Just not directly. They refer to them as psychics. Then they proceeded never to bring it up until the end as you guys said.
Hey Guys. I found ya with your first video on 0083 and just kept watching for some reason. I while I don't agree with all your opinions, I appreciate your different opinions and that your always entertaining. Hope you keep making videos for a while!
Waiting for the eventual Gundam 00 review. Yes, there’s a lot of little things to remember in season 1 and holy fuck does shit get outta hand in season 2 but that’s what makes it fucking awesome
@@WeHeartGiantRobots And here we thought Threads was the most depressing review. Surprise! It's Picard's character getting dragged and beaten like a child in a Gundam series.
Man I watched gundam origin first because i wanted to watch it in chonological order but ramba ral isn't done justice in mobile suit gundam, but i think that's just because of the newer anime setting a higher bar than was intended for the character in the old anime, which i have since also completed and is actually very good, but they don't go into the whole prince and princess of zeon angle very much in MSG :/ but like I said the anime is still very good and was really enjoyable. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I already knew about new-types and who some of the newtypes in the original series were, but not all, and I was able to weed out subtle hints at newtype characters and surprised to find out some that I didn't know about. It may have been more disappointing if I had no idea about newtypes prior to watching this since it may have been more confusing
What's your take on the original series vs. the compilation films? I was surprised when I found out that people liked the movies more since I feel that they cut out too many important scenes.
I think people prefer the movies because they're a little closer to Tomino's original creative vision for the story as a whole. He was able to remove some of the elements forced on him by the sponsors, and so on. They've both got their merits, though, don't get me wrong.
If I had to guess who watches your videos I would say either people who just like dislike themselves or people who have nothing better to do or are lazy all three of those things describe me
My problem with Mobile suit Gundam is the plot is too straightforward there's not enough side things happening not enough world building it basically just follows the group of heroes the whole time except when it follows the enemies that are about to attack them this is why I like Wing the best because it goes all over the place with who it follows and even if it ends up not making a lot of sense I think it makes for a more interesting show that way
I honestly wish that they would re-animate and redo the series so that it can be more digestible for new audiences, because a loooooot of people are NOT willing to watch an anime that is what, almost 45? It would also give Tomino time to actually talk about new types and not make them quite frankly kinda fuckin stupid
You're seeing signs of just how completely fucking incoherent and rambling our recording sessions are, right there. But hey, Amuro gets a whole segment on why he's a good character later. Swings and roundabouts.
I don't mean to be another voice yelling from the distance but I really hope you guys review Gundam unicorn one day or maybe even 00. (00 the movie kinda sucks so i understand if you guy's don't review it)
I watched the Original Gundam in onr Single day, the show not the movie thingies because i couldn't find them anywhere. The show was kind off a painful experience and tbh i don't remember much of it(Propapably because i watched it in the span of one day). I didn't enjoy it as much as i hoped i would. The characters felt annoying and it felt like nothing was happening. I especially didn't like Amuro (but don't ask me why i do not remember.) I think i disliked the Original Gundam do much because i watched a shitty recording with even shittier subs. I watched Zeta the next days and really enjoyed it. I liked Kamille as a Character quite a bit. ZZ felt like missed opportunitys somehow. I actually liked the beginning on earth, thid whole fighting with what's available stick. I also liked the comedy. Once we got to Moon Moon though. Hooo boy. I just put thr episodes on 4x speed and sat there, eyes blinking, not really taking anything in. Also i thought thr design of the double zeta gundam was incredibly stupid.
Why are we watching your stuff? Well apparently, we are all like minded horrible people and watching you be a little worse makes us feel a little better about ourselves. Looking forward to the next video.
The original Mobile Suit Gundam is one of the greatest pieces of science fiction ever written, in my opinion. It seems vastly and criminally under-appreciated in the U.S., I think. But the people that know, REALLY know. Most people in the US that like anime tend to like the more superhero oriented stuff. Which is weird because a fair amount of them are in their 20s and 30s. And, look, I liked Dragon Ball Z when I was a LITTLE KID, but that’s because it’s a LITTLE KID’S SHOW (I said it and I’ll never take it back). There’s nothing wrong with shows for kids, but they kinda lack depth as you get older. Everyone likes fucking Naruto and One Piece and shit, that stuff never interested me, they just seem very Dragon Ball-esque. DBZ came out on Toonami when I was 10 or 11, I liked it then. By the time the Buu saga came around I was 15 or 16 and you couldn’t have payed me to give a fucking shit. It had all become formulaic as fuck, it was tired and uninspired and a lot of characters I liked early on got pushed to the back burner and it just solely focused on the Saiyans. Anyway, why have I digressed into DBZ? Because I still very much gave a shit about Gundam when I was 15 or 16, and I still do in my 30s. Gundam Wing aired when I was about 13 and I instantly knew the story was vastly more nuanced and interesting than anything DBZ had ever displayed. Then they aired the original series and 08th MS Team and I was hooked for life. I’m not super into anime in general, I just recognized how fucking good Gundam was right away. My interest in DBZ type of anime really started to fall off after I found Gundam, particularly the UC timeline. So yeah, that means G Gundumb doesn’t count. That show is garbage. Some people will hate me for saying that. But to them I say, “stfu weeb, you’re 30 and still think DBZ is interesting.” Like, stfu Toriyama, how long can you keep this up? What new forms of Super Saiyan (initials SS, and they have blonde hair and blue eyes? Interesting....) will we see this season? How many forms will the big boss have? How the fuck will Goku save everyone this time? How long am I gonna stare at a bunch of grunting, constipated looking dudes? Will half of the season be Goku charging a spirit bomb while the main villain stares at them and just LETS HIM DO IT? Gosh, Toriyama, please share your secrets for such amazing storytelling (said fucking NOBODY, EVER!!) Sorry, I’m just bitter that dumb shit that was literally made for kids is vastly more popular (in the States) than stories with depth, nuance, complexity, political and philosophical intrigue, and multi-dimensional characters that are affected by things that happen in the story (which isn’t to say Gundam’s not for kids, just that it has larger appeal as well). But then again... The US did manage to elect Trump, so I guess it really should come as no surprise. So many fucking idiots in this country, I abso-fucking-lutely hate where I live. Anyway, cheers! Great content!
You don't necessarily have to be good to be entertaining. Just look at Jolly Wangcore, dude's an idiot who's bad at words and anything besides shooting people in video games, but he's still funny as hell. Also gib patlabor.
As a fellow Gundam fan, I'm surprised you have a soft spot for Star Trek. I don't know if it's the Star Wars fan in me, or the anime fan in me, but in terms of the science fiction I've seen, Trek is kind of overrated, because their ethics past TOS don't make any sense (LOL PRIME DIRECTIVE) and their battles look mid at best and suck ass at worst. At best they look like a ghetto version of a Star Wars battle, at worst, they're so bad that even your bogstandard Gundam space battle is miles ahead of them.
Zambot's definitely a proto-MGS (plus Tomino gets to kill way more people in that show), but I'd still argue it's more Super Robot than it is Real Robot. Good show, though, don't get me wrong.
TLDR (without watching the video); yes.
This is the kind of thinking I can get behind.

Wow... I didn't realize that Gundam is the Star Trek of anime, I really never looked at it that way.
If there's a way to bring up Star Trek, Rob will find it.
That's how I refer to it when telling new people who have no idea about anime or the model kits. Lol
Jokes aside, you fellas have some quality ass content here. Always enjoy your vids, especially the ones about Gundam.
If you guys would tackle Unicorn at some point that'd be great
Same and agree
How do you guys only have 2k followers. Super enjoyable for all of us space autists, we are legion.
Because you're probably not gonna see another video for like six months.
Watching 0079 then the more recent The Origins series will blow your mind with how incredible the animation has become.
Origin does have the hype animation. Much like it's manga has the hype artwork.
The funniest part is I always pronounced it “Gundumb”, but since I started watching this channel saying “Gun-damn” has been rolling off pretty naturally.
Looking forward to the next one!
Hell ye, we're affecting positive change on the world.
Gonna hold you to that next review promise....it's either that or Patlabor, the movies and the series, make the right choice.
I gotta give you credit for your perseverance, brother.
Someday, underfunded police work involving giant robots will be on this channel, and I will be there on that day.
Please do the original Macross (the Super Dimension Fortress Macross) please please
Omg yes yes yes!!!

Man I love this channel. Every time there's a new video it's at a drop everything level of importance.
The most underrated youtube channel on the planet
My favorite part of Gundam 0079 was watching that old dude, secretly steal food from a kids plate.
This channel peaked my morbid curiosity like nothing else and I love you guys for it. Keep up the good work.
>Morbid curiosity
Ye that's fair, actually.
I NEED a podcast where you rant about mech, anime and stuff with no filter. I'd definitely pay for that
having sat through every recording session for one of these videos, be careful what you wish for brother
being a huge gundam fan, you guys sound like a blast to chill with and talk mecha bs. onto your review of zeta
Can’t wait for rob to have a 3 hour break down about zz in the future

If we’re going with canonical things then yeah the movies are probably the best, but check out the fuckin novel if you have the time, damn good shit.
How the fuck do you guys have so few subscribers? Your editing style is great and your comedic timing si fantastic
Subscribed for the Gundam, really INTO Gundam but can't find much mecha dedicated channels who covers it. Please cover more Gundam! All of it!
It is hard to find mecha TH-camrs and it's also really hard to find good Mecha games

Great discussion, but I can't forgive the lack of Kai Shiden simping
Kai is only worth simping for when he turns into Insurgency Tom Wolfe during Zeta.
But then he is *really* worth simping for.
You guys need more views.
My problem with Mobile suit Gundam is the plot is too straightforward there's not enough side things happening not enough world building it basically just follows the group of heroes the whole time except when it follows the enemies that are about to attack them this is why I like Wing the best because it goes all over the place with who it follows and even if it ends up not making a lot of sense I think it makes for a more interesting show that way

You don't necessarily have to be good to be entertaining. Just look at Jolly Wangcore, dude's an idiot who's bad at words and anything besides shooting people in video games, but he's still funny as hell. Also gib patlabor.
Oh hell yeah, Jolly's a good lad who's built an entire channel around not being able to spot obvious traps in Source games.
As a fellow Gundam fan, I'm surprised you have a soft spot for Star Trek. I don't know if it's the Star Wars fan in me, or the anime fan in me, but in terms of the science fiction I've seen, Trek is kind of overrated, because their ethics past TOS don't make any sense (LOL PRIME DIRECTIVE) and their battles look mid at best and suck ass at worst. At best they look like a ghetto version of a Star Wars battle, at worst, they're so bad that even your bogstandard Gundam space battle is miles ahead of them.
You're attributing a little too much to gundam, Zambot 3 did some of that beforehand and even the early mazinger stuff had some of that
Zambot's definitely a proto-MGS (plus Tomino gets to kill way more people in that show), but I'd still argue it's more Super Robot than it is Real Robot. Good show, though, don't get me wrong.
ILO the movie trilogy is better, at least Newtype bullshit wasn't all over the place
Zeon defenders are easily the worst part about gundam
Reeeeeeeeeee
Sounds like your souls weighed down by gravity.
Zeon did everything right
You guys should be cancelled just incase.
Probably wise.
