Of course, it was the original Gundam and the design was rather simplistic compared to all it's successors. It's the same for all the prototype characters that begin a genre: Superman, Mazinger Z, the G1 Transformers, etc.
I like to think that Amuro ended up on missions with most of them at least once, without them knowing who it was. Like that one episode of Gundam Evolve that got whole-cloth stolen to make the plot of Unicorn. XD
I always thought of the RX-78 series taking up a ton of the EFF's resources. Bad enough that they had to rush the GM series to counter Zeon's Zakus, but getting all of these Gundams developed, tested, and rolled out? Maybe they could of done it. 🤷♂️ Situations happen too. The Gundam Alex was meant for Amuro as an upgrade, but got destroyed in a battle by the test pilot. Which she had no choice. The best laid plans go awry. Even if the EFF/EFSF had these units, it doesn't mean they would of been able to get them all together in one squad. Or if they would get destroyed in sorties before A Baoa Qu. They weren't invincible. Depends on the pilot as well. Amuro was the savior of the EFF and they got incredibly lucky he stumbled across the suit that one fateful day.
I started watching Gundam, first with Iron Blooded Orphans, then the 08th MS Team, then the original. Of course this is out of order but I'm trying to watch the Universal Century ones in order, so after Gundam what is next? Zeta?
If you want to get really nitty-gritty about watching it in order, then Gundam 0080 or MS IGLOO are your next step. If you want to watch the major series first then maybe watch some OVAs (my personal recommendation), then yes, Zeta Gundam is the next show you should watch. The official GundamInfo TH-cam channel has the entire anime for free with subtitles in a number of different languages; the link to episode 1 of Zeta Gundam is below. th-cam.com/video/2IuIvOdOrWM/w-d-xo.html

Honestly, the only one that would really be a game-changer would be the NT-1. The RX-79 [G] wasn't THAT much of a step up from the GM [G]. Notably, it's the suit famous for getting decapitated by an Acguy. Plus, if this were a series, Zeon looks like they'd have their act together, as well, so they'd be more tactical in MS deployment (instead of rapidly spitting prototypes alone into the field), and potentially have their aces unified (all of whom individually gave Amuro trouble, and he's probably the strongest pilot of the group)
@@ericmurotake5180 GM sniper 2 and Blue destiny more likely also could be game changer too, since GM sniper 2 performance actually exceed Rx 78 2 and blue destiny unit with exam system actually kinda nuts
In order of appearance: RX-78-2 Gundam, RGM-79SP GM Sniper "White Dingo Custom", RX-78NT Gundam "Alex", RX-79BD-1 Blue Destiny Unit 1, & the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type.
Paul Staker Wtf, are you talking about? We had Generation X as our parents, so we know what this is.Anytime a old show from their childhood or teenhood shows they call their kids to watch it with them so their kids can have the same nostalgia. You Gen Y don't show your kids your old shows.
for its time (being the first PS2 Gundam game) JtJ was decent; don't forget there was a completely different market for Gundam (and anime) in general back then in that it was much more niche. JtJ served as a good introduction to the universe; it's how i became a fan of the franchise (though to be fair, mostly UC timeline)
I watched it from start to finish a few months ago and thought it stood the test of time pretty well myself. It was more enjoyable than a lot of what I watch now and the kicker is, it was the first time I had watched all the episodes at that.
A fond discovery of my youth that I have just repeated now that I -FINALLY- have this video again: It synchs up really, really well with the Batman Beyond theme.
blue destiny: how come you all got animated and i didn't Gundam alex: because shut up! Rx-78: be grateful i let you cameo in this opening, you wouldn't exist without me!
This show was made in 1979 back when there were only Super Robot shows like Mazinger Z and Getter Robo. Considering that, this music fits in perfectly with the pioneering series that introduced the Real Robot to the world.
This mode SERIOUSLY needs to get a full game, with more story, more options, and suit growth (Shiro getting EZ8, Rayer going from a Guncannon MP to the GM Sniper II, and Yuu getting Blue Destiny 3)
It'd be so awesome to see a remade Gundam with Animation like this, and I know talks about something like that have been going on for a while, but it'd just be nice to see
I think this is possible in some of the Super Robot Wars games, but sadly most of them have not been translated into english yet since they're so heavy on text.
@@jordancarl1895 Depends on a few things. In this setting, looks like Zeon is much more competent (multiple MS types coordinating), and may have their aces working in unison, which could end badly for the group. Remember, Blue Destiny is prone to berserking with EXAM, Christina Mackenzie is a test pilot, and Shiro isn't very experienced. If they're up against a group of aces (notably, we're seeing the Tri-stars, Char, Ral, M'Quve, and Shin Matsunaga (the white Zaku II)), each of whom almost beat Amuro... could get ugly
The beginning of the Real Robot genre. Currently going through a lot of the classic RR mecha shows like Votoms and Dougram right now, really miss that style of show. The era of politically-tinged military sci-fi that Gundam helped kick off is just too good. Some of the best anime has to offer.
+Char Aznable Well in this game, yes. So it implies the potential possibility that they may've met in some mannerism at some point during the Universal Century when they all were still alive. The Gundam Universe is vast, and the chronological timelines such as the Universal Century were only read from the book so much to us. There's probably a lot of the book behind the scenes with the Gundam franchise with most of their calendar-eras (aka timelines) that haven't been written in full yet. Thus we can only speculate what all has happened. Shiro may've been from or visited the colony Amuro resided on with his father prior to jumping on the Whitebase. Who knows, we sure as well won't until it's officially stated, publicly written in a novel (aka manga), or released in some other mannerism confirming such as an audio-drama, animated series/OVA or a film. Until then no one will be able to give you an answer that has any backing evidence.
He said it was from the Journey to Jaburo PS2 game. This and all the animated cutscenes from that game were included in my Gundam Movie trilogy DVDs too. Really nice.
I never noticed but you're right, mobile suits attack colony and genetically special boy receives one of the best mobile suits atm and eventually settles into a high ranking military career
@GundamStickArena the song is Tobe! Gundam which is the original opening used in the Japanese anime. Since Mobile Suit Gundam debuted in 1979 the song is admittedly campy. But it's a classic.
@GalacticCrafter If you're asking what is going to continue the 00 timeline, there currently aren't any plans to continue it. As far as the continuing Gundam franchise, there are 3 things carrying it on. We have the Gundam Unicorn OVAs, the recently announced for kids show Gundam Age, and the even more recently announced Gundam Origin, which is based off a manga retelling of the original Gundam series. Age is a TV series, but we have no idea what format Origin will be released in.
Gundam Unicorn is UC 0096 3 years after Char's Counter Attack. There are 6 epiodes in total. And 2 episodes are released each year. 1 has been released so far.
@pkemr4 That's the Blue Destiny Unit 1, from the manga/Sega Saturn video game Mobile Suit Gundam 0079: The Blue Destiny. It's a customize Ground-Type GM outfitted with an experimental system called the EXAM system. And it's blue! :D
The Blue one is the RX-79BD-1 GM Blue Destiny Unit 1, an prototype variant of the 08th MS team's RX-79[G] Gundam. It appears in sidestory Manga of Mobile Suit Gundam, and appearently in the PS2 game MSG: Journey to Jaburo.
I was talking about the books: Awakening, Escalation and Confrontation. In the Gundam book trilogy, the story is told entirely in space, Amuro, Ryu, Kai, Hiyato, Mirai and Sayla are already Federation soldiers and adults, the plot dives into newtypes at the very start of the story and we get to see more of Char meeting Lalah, and there's more on the backstory of the UC mythology. Plus it would be interesting to see how the events in Zeta would turn out from this version's continuity.
