- Well I'm busy with school, work and my social life, but was able to make this thanks to it being related to school. So I hope you enjoy this even though it's nothing to do with what I want the direction of the channel to be, it's just there to be well, something.

I put this together for my video art course, for a contextualization assignment, which simply put is to give a different context from to something from its original one. Examples would be Harry Potter as a teen comedy or as one of my classmates did, mixing horrific death in Syria with Mr.Rogers "Won't You Be My Neighbor?".
I began this assignment working on something else but scrapped it after a month, I then I said something along the lines of "fuck it, I am doing Gundam with Jazz", and that is how this came into existence.
I cheated a bit due to Thunderbolt already having Jazz, but really the recontex would be around the song I used mixed with the scenes from Thunderbolt.

Please Bandai/Sunrise don't screw me over, just trying to have some fun with one of your properties.

Animation: Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt
Song: Frank Sinatra - That's Life
-
Gundam Thunderbolt is both an action drama within the mecha sub genre, splitting its narrative between two protagonists on opposite sides on the conflict, both who believe they are destined to kill each other. Taking place during the One Year War (First Gundam), Thunderbolt is a side story within the Thunderbolt sector, pitting two tragic units against each other who have nothing truly left to lose and are desperate to gain victory, edging on insanity for some.

Frank Sinatra is a 20th century musician with great critical claim worldwide, his works have influenced many throughout the decades and an inspiration thanks to his gifted natural ability in the realm of music and art.

I am still busy with everything else in my life, I don't truly have time to sit down, record and then edit a video for youtube that isn't related to my personal life. I still plan on releasing a Mecha Explored Video for Voltron, its script has been finished for some time now. I will finish it before season 2 is released, thanks in part to this semester almost being over.
So yah, if you want to see it whenever I upload it, there's like this little bell thing next to where it says "subscribe", if I'm right it'll give you a notification of whenever I upload something, I think. Because like I said, no idea when I can put stuff together for youtube at this current point in my life.
I love how Frank actually sounded like Thunderbolt's narrator at the beginning. As in he sounded like he could narrate.
thunderbolt really covered every single terror of war. death, torture, fear, loneliness, loss, isolation, and the ‘coping’ mechanisms.
while it isn’t the first to do so, the way it was all orchestrated so artistically is incredible.
Politicians and philosophy wars
Gundam Thunderbolt doesn't get enough attention in my opinion, it just a blast and it such an emotional rollercoaster that it actually makes me even more terrified by war, not just because I already have an understanding of it growing up around people who have experienced real war but also thinking about what it'll become, we really have no say for how or when one will start and he just gotta go in and die for a set of beliefs that we don't really understand or care for...THAT is why Gundam Thunderbolt is a masterpiece and why it makes me an even more depressed human being
I read the manga. It is so great. Claudia has more place to do in the novel.
It really needs the full adaption.
Not to mention the absolute pointless/futile nature of it all. Oh yeah, and war crimes.
The violence is pretty good. But that has nothing to do with war. War is a job. You grow up and you find out that jobs can be rough and you make a lot of physical and emotional sacrifices, and instead of it being a spectacle people just act like it's the everyday. War is the same way, except instead of a mouse and keyboard there's guns. You work out more. You accept that some people's jobs are easier. And you actually miss your coworkers when they leave.
The more I watch this, the more I realized we were never told, who was good and who was bad in the Gundam universe.. this right here, is plain as day, the mind trickery off war, putting people who don’t even know each other against each other while the corpos sit on their fancy thrones and chairs watching the madness safely..~ smdh.
Welcome to the Universal Century, where every side is just awful in someway yet completely right in others.
Yeah Anaheim is probably the best example of a corporate war profiteer. Not cartoonishly evil just straight logic and only motivated for profits.
i will never forgive EF for putting litteral childs on the frontline as a distraction. Thats seriously fucked up.
Except you know Zeon genociding all of Side 4 killing nearly a billion innocent humans. And forcing the survivors to fight in the graveyard.
When the zeon leader expresses admiration for Hitler I know which side is more evil. Individual soldiers are a different story.
Can't believe I just found this video now. Couldn't think of a more fitting song for Thunderbolt's themes and tone. And you edited it perfectly, too! This deserves way more views and likes than it has
This works too well. Wonderfully put together!
Man..this is great
+FrostedCheetos
Oh damn, that is why my profile pic only shows my torso: to hide the fact how much I like some of these gems.
no matter where you stand on gundam or the universal century or any of that, anyone could agree gundam thunderbolt is an amazing series that needs more adaptations into anime
thank you for making me feel rise...
I have to really hand it to you on this one. My hat's off, Zeta. I don't know if we'll see another Thunderbolt AMV this good for a long, long time. Gets me pumped for a second season.
Bruh why does this hit so hard
Pain. Suffering. Hell. Misery.
IM SO GLAD THIS IS BACK!
Thunderbolt is god tier
this song fits well hahaha
"Only on Toonami."
I wish.
Dope
Damn... I gotta get a hold of some Sinatra. They just don't teach lessons like this on the music scene today
excellent amv!
Too bad he wasted that last rocket on the head instead of the chassis, where the pilot actually is 😅
Omfg you didn’t put in the part where he lost his arm and then the cute girl is ordered to remove his other arm to pilot the prototype mech! Still tho amazing edit ❤
2021🇧🇷
Damn it suck to be in Zeon
Losing all four limbs to pilot a super power giant red robot to avenge your fallen comrades while your girlfriend and home ship gets wrecked by a giant massive blue/white robot? That's life
Can relate
"That's liiiiiife!"
How about loosing your whole fkn colony along with a few milion of your fellow citizens, and then fighting nazis in spase. That's also life :D
Thunderbolt is fucked up that’s life
thats gotta be one of the darkest things in Gundam
For a show about giant robots this franchise is probably the most accurate depiction of war in anime
Gundam Origin does a good job as well.
Probably one of the most raw, primal, and outright visceral Gundam series we've ever gotten.
Yep
You’ll like Gundam War in the Pocket.
well, its UC Gundam. its usually fair bit on grittier side compared with Non-UC Gundam with all of their Glitters
---
Hell, in MS-Team series, it deal with issue of "Unique Custom Mech" which obviously with stretched thin supply lines, it have difficultly to get proper "unique" spare parts and ended with cannibalizing whatever they could get their hands on.
Just a friendly reminder that this takes place almost at the same time as the original Mobile Suit Gundam
To put it simply it give us different perspectives of the one year war. I really like how the creators go back to it and create different media not just showing Amuro's and Char's point of view.
Yup, it takes place around the same time as 0080 and Rise From The Ashes (really good Dreamcast game), iirc 08TH MS Team’s story had finished* by the time Thunderbolt picked up.
* Aside from the last episode, of course.
@@Cagliostro81 I believe thunderbolt isn’t right after 0080 since 0080 mainly takes place right before and like a day after the siege of Solomon. Although of course the ending scene for 0080 is after the war ends entirely. Really cool how the stories cover so much.
Its actually in an alternate timeline but still set in the UC around the same time as OG Gundam
sauce thumbnail
Probably the most intense gundam movie I ever watched in my life.
I agree but it’s also right next to IBO it’s like Halo reach but more sad
@@spookykake6958 Don’t put IBO and Thunderbolt next to each other lol, Thunderbolt is leagues better.
True
@@spookykake6958 IBO is a boring shonen slog
@@rambact5769 Finally someone with class
Toonami give me a job
whoa really
I actually thought this was an official promo lol...
What grade did you get on this?
10/10
Bet bro
Everyone wants to be a mech pilot in the gundam universe until you get a POV shot of what that looks like: a giant metal monster ripping you apart limb from limb before finally cooking you alive with a giant laser sword
Kind of like what being in a tank felt like.
Yup you're 100% right however I have a counter argument
Sieg Zeon
Honestly, I could totally imagine this being an extended Toonami promo. Well done, sir!
I don’t even want to imagine how big the licensing fee would be for this song.
Io Fleming: "Heh...I just thought of a really funny joke."
Zeon Interrogator: "You gonna tell me?"
Io Fleming: "...you wouldn't get it."
That feel when you re-watched Thunderbolt more than you have 8th MS team just in a span of a month.
I know right amazing movie great music and I've watched it so many times
Two of the best movies
thunderbolt is just golden the music the art whole shabange
Heck, I would say that this surpassed IBO and 00 as my favorite Gundam anime (I mean it is a four way tie for me between the: Barbatos, Atlas, Exia, and Nu Gundam in terms of gunpla design).
Considering how much longer The 08th MS Team OVA is vs both Thunderbolt movies that’s not exactly a huge task to accomplish, lol.
Wow... oddly appropriate music for such a brutal anime... love it!
This is beautiful. Sinatra fits Thunderbolt so well. Can still hear Io's Jazz bleeding through at the end during the part with the Zakus perspective but the rest is so perfect i can totally forgive it.
I actually rlly like how it bleeds through the music. Feels like it's part of it
The first gundam show i’ve seen where the real antagonist is the war itself. I hope we see more gundam shows like this.
You should watch Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.
Hey, so I haven't been doing that whole youtube thing for a pretty good while, really sorry about that. To make it really brief, college, school and social life kinda get in the way of that. Mostly because in my personal life I also do a lot of editing and filming, so not much room to do that for other things.
I don't want to give up on the channel, but with it just being me of course, uploads will probably always be all over the place, or in this case, nowhere in the place (that make sense? probably not). I do have things set for a Voltron video I was so ready to do, but of course life happened. Thankfully this semester is almost over, so I'll have about a month of grace to edit for the Voltron video before season 2 of Legendary Defender releases, it's on netflix, please watch it. So sometime around January expect that video, I'd recommend that little bell icon, it should notify you whenever I upload stuff cause I have no schedule anymore.
Zeta Rise why is the video not available on mobile?
Wyatt Arthur Probably because shitty copyright reasons tbh, let me see if I can do something about it without getting a strike lol
Zeta Rise what did your teacher think of the video you turned in
matthew skyers I'm actually turning it in Monday, but she saw it as I was working on it, she liked it.
You make good filler videos. Keep doing you, let's get these A's.
The thing that ultimately makes this video amazing is the fact that in Japan, Frank Sinatra is a suuper touchy subject. The leader of Aum Shinrikyo (The people that used sarin gas in the Tokyo subways) was obsessed with My Way and sung it for hours at karaoke bars, and if you do that nowadays, people get their asses beat for doing it. The fact that the Zeon and hopefully this new cult are all listening to Sinatra-like big-band music might be tapping into those stigmas to further reinforce the morbid shit that goes on in the series.
Wow, I never knew about any of that, that's really interesting actually, huh
I think you're referencing a cultural phenomenon in the Philippines, not Japan.
@@colorblue7018 nah, it happened in japan. They're the one who committed an anthrax attack on a trains.
@@speccrusastrumBut its in the Philippines that fights have started over this song
@@whitebrown762a cult that killed a lot of people using gas attacks on subways loves singing frank sinatra's song in japan. The philippine thing you're talking about is different.
"At first I saw War as a Tragedy,now I see it as a Comedy"-Io Fleming
Tragic comedy are a thing, no? Just like Dante did. "Abandon all hope ye whom enters"
This is art. You have turned Gundam into Cowboy Bebop : )
Late to say, but this Gundam is the CB version of Gundam. Killer jazz and all that...
@@032_m.alfathcirrus5 I mean Cowboy Bebop didn’t invent Jazz lol
The person who scored this Gundam series was the same one who scored Cowboy Bebop
@@rambact5769 lupin the 3rd did.
@@dr.bright6272 he was the sax on cowboy bebop
The legend returns
But he keeps kicking my ass.....
This could serve as a fucking promotional vid for Thunderbolt.
"... I jump right on a big bird and then I fly" this song was perfect for Gundam
I only watch AMVs on occasions and this one has got to be my favorite simply because of how well it fits with the theme and music already established in the show.
amvs left a bad taste in my mouth in middle school so I was never able to like them and always thought they were cringy. This is one of the only exceptions in my book well done guy.
Honestly expected a soft fade to a screen telling me it was out on Blu Ray because this is so professionally done. Good job, dude (Y)
Wing: it's a boyband, with gundam
Seed: it's star wars barbie, with gundam
00: it's alien vs predator, with gundam
Thunderbolt: it's cowboy bebop, with gundam
This is pure magic. Great editing. The mashup of my two favorite things - Sinatra and Gundam. Thank you so much for uploading this. It totally made my day!
7 years later and this video is still a banger
Here's how the ending should go i think.
" But if their's nothing shaking come this here December! Than im gonna roll myself up in a big ball. AND DIEEEEEEEE!!!!
SIEGGGGGGG ZEOONNNNNNNNNN!"
This gundam took the design concept as berserk. You're following a Zenon Soldier for majority of it. A faction that you should not like in the slightest. Yet he's designed to look like a gundam main character. On the other side you have the gundam pilot and he looks like a villain. But they are both human. Fighting their causes. Have people they care about and want to protect. And probably fighting a petty war orchestrated by their politicians. Impressive work. I'll be watching many times in the future. Still need to finish og Gundam.
You used the motherfucking dub. I hope you get to meet Sinatra Sr. himself when you get up to The Pearly Gates!
I used to think that the Universal Century was a tragedy. But now, I realize…
IT’S A COMEDY.
You have a lot of talent. the audio is meshed up pretty well with the visuals.
that zaku pov when io kills him is absolutely horrifying
Reminded me of Animatrix Second Renaissance.
now this totally brings me back to the old days of toonami when someone would scream, “ITS A GUNDAM” and you knew someone was gonna die
btw is gundam thunderbolt part of the uc
HomeOfAnime yes
Zeta Rise so should i watch it now im on chars counterattack
It's based during the One Year War so it will not really conflict with any Gundam anime really. It doesn't even really spoil any of the past shows either. So it's based during the events of the original 1979 TV series.
Kameraden ohh thanks ill watch it now
Zeta Rise is it same universe?
Good to see your not 100% gone. Look forward to new videos when you get around to it. Good luck in school. :)
This is now my go to trailer to introduce people to gundam thanks!
Oh sergeant, is this the adventure ye meant?
When I put me name doon on the line?
All your talk o' computers
And sunshine and skis
Well, I'm asking you sergeant
Where's mine?
This is the most fitting song for this series
What a solid tribute to one of the best Gundam series. Good stuff, man.
My favorite things about gundam are awesome looking gindam cool fights an- holyshit he dead.
One of my favorite Gundam shows, I love Thunderbolt that much :3
Don't you just love Gundam
Greatest franchise in the world. literally 0 bad shows
@@moatezmoussi9751 even Reconquista in G?
I have never felt bad for pilots of Gouf, Zaku, and Gelgoogs until today. 😩😩
Thunderbolt is such a hidden gem. A real cinematic masterpiece on the human costs of total war. absolutely bonkers.
Glad you made this, it fits well.
Is this a battle of mobile suits, or is it a battle between jazz and lounge swing?
there's no glory in the battlefield
There's no win, the winner only just getting more worst wars.
What a wonderfully and beautifully fucked up series! :D
It fits so well not gonna lie but the best soundtrack is "Oh my god. I'm alone" no one can beat that song.
Hope everything is going well in school dude, I'm stoked to see a new video from you. I think you make great Gundam content. This is very well done and I'm sharing it with my friends, Thank you.
this song works well with this universe its great nice workb ^-^
What I love about Thunderbolt is that while the new type stuff in main Gundam series tends to bog down an other while good plot. Stuff like Thunderbolt gets straight to the point, you don't need to see the world through a phycic kid to the utter pointless of war. It just shows war is bad rather than telling
Gihren says he is a follower of Hitler, Zeon on mulitlple occasions drops colonies on to earth that do massive damage and nearly turn the planet uninhabitable. Any Colonies that side with Earth are fair game and several are destroyed the number of civilian casualties is uncountable. And if you want to say the "What about the Titans" you're comparing apples to oranges. Zeon is the cartoon Villain.
Dude, nice work! I can't wait to check out Thunderbolt
props to you dude this is incredible and I love sinatra, I gotta say man this is the first thunderbolt amv I think is better than the one I made
what the fuck, how can a song sound so different while not being altered?
This visuals are so sick man, I want to watch this show but its just too fkt and gritty.
I will still watch clips tho
this is lit. where are my models! let me load up that zaku of mine!
Nothing short of brilliant. I love this beyond words. I've used this video to convince many people to watch Gundam. I watch this regularly
thunderbolt is what if sergei eisenstein made a movie about giant robots
Oh, a Zeta Rise upload!
That fucking ending. Was that meant to be super funny? You must have been trying to make me laugh.
"I understand now Car--" *explosion*
Holy shit. This edit gave me full-on chills! Nice work!!!
Dude so awesome! Glad to see you are back.
IT’S BAAAAAACK!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
What happened to it? I took it down?
MultiBoxingKid it probably got taken down for having copyrighted music.
Fuck it's finally back!
This is why I support ZEON
remove zeon
Guts zeon did side 4, and sydney.
Guts
Because you're a mass murdering space Nazi?
We will never surrender to Zeon scum! We will defend Earth to our last breath!
Long live the Federation!
> implying getting rid of aussies was a bad thing.
Great editing
this editing is god tier
Hope you got an A
Is the Thunderbolt the greatest Gundam series of all time? Probably. Is it my favorite? Definitely!
I haven't heard of Gundam Thunderbolt, but it looks pretty damn good. Love the music video, gives me big Cowboy Bebop/Metropolis vibes.
December Sky was refreshing in a real war story for anime...yet really depressing. Strangle I like these type of story..oh yeah great amv.
I wonder when can we ever have any Late Universal Century spin-off shows set during the events of Gundam F90, Mobile Suit Gundam F91, Crossbone Gundam or Victory Gundam?
Please make it happen someday, Bandai Namco.
holy shit this is cool
FINALLY, IT HAS RETURNED
2:40 How messing around with new players in gundam battle operation 2 be like in 2021 Space D- Rated
Gundam in a nutshell
damn boy
this is the shit
thumbs up for you
I just found this. The song goes perfectly with this. So tragic. The sad reality is that this could very well be a possibility in the future. It's 2024 and wars are still going on.
