Right after leaving the Universal Century, something amazing was thrown in all of a sudden.
It was a great answer.
It’s nice how it completely shattered the preconceived notions of Gundam…
>>1It seems that Tomino-san designated director Imamura as the executioner of the Gundam series itself.
In the end, rather than just a clean finish, the new interpretation of robot action became a huge buzz and, as you all know, it actually soared.
Is this kind of Gundam… okay? Well, never mind! Nice to meet you!
As expected, the fact that they packed in transformation gimmicks all over the body really resonated with my inner child.
The God Gundam feels somewhat lacking.
>>3In SD, the head gimmick of Shining was also very enjoyable to play with.
>>3The SD God had more playability than real proportions thanks to the shoulder-opening gimmick.
But still, it feels lonely without a change in the face like Shining…
It feels more like they just catered to the kids who had their sense of Gundam shattered by SD Gundam at the time.
Don’t just leave it at that.
The Shining Finger was a great invention.
The Turn X’s demolition manipulator also includes Destiny’s Palma and followers.
Finally, the end of this month, huh? I hope I can buy it.
There was no preconceived notion about Gundam for children who liked SD Gundam…
In a way, it’s the most flexible generation of Gundam.
>>9But I have a lot of attachment to F91 and Alex.
>>12It’s around the same time as SD, right? Although it’s a movie and an OVA, there were many rental videos back in the day.
>>9To be serious, G Gundam is a product that goes completely against the conventional narrative of the Universal Century, but there weren’t really any viewers at the time who understood that while watching, so when people say it’s flexible, I can only think of it as a separate matter.
I think it was good that we properly explained everything in a special program before the broadcast.
Isn’t it problematic to trivialize everything by just saying “only”?
A handsome guy with a flushed face appears, nice…
Thank you, fighting game boom!
I prefer Shining over God in terms of design.
God is too flashy for a fighting machine…
The super mode is a clear power-up, and that’s great.
Each part unfolding made a lot of brain juice flow out.
Is this the first time we see clear parts on the chest as well, in a subtle shining design?
The scene where BGM plays and it goes “crack! crack!” as it unfolds into super mode is really great… it makes you feel that way.
Why is there KABUKI as the main machine in a fighting Gundam…?
>>20There are also samurai elements…
>>20However, to be honest, the red mouth that appears when the mask is removed has been like that since the old man’s time.
It’s a category that isn’t really known that much.
I’m worried if you’ll break it properly, so I’m hesitating to show my face, bald guy.
I liked that it was easy to understand even for kids.
From the beginning to the end, I only remember the general flow of the story, excluding the OVA, about a G level.
>>22If anything, it’s probably the easiest to understand among Imagawa’s works… G Gundam.
The usual bad habit of “father and son (specifically, the thing where the child has to settle the father’s mistakes)” and “crime and punishment” were still mild.
>>37To be honest, for most viewers who probably didn’t know about G-Robo, things like that don’t really matter to them at all…
Even in Tetsujin 28-go, they accomplished that part, and in Chenge and Shin Mazinger, they also did it.
The basic special move, the Iron Claw, was quite challenging to shine.
The God Gundam feels a bit lacking since it doesn’t have any leg transformation other than the thruster deployment… It looks neat, though.
I’m interested in this model kit, but there are no specifications for the core lander at all.
Whether it can be separated or not.
>>28What are you worried about when it can be recreated in HGFC?
>>32It’s because there are utterly no photographs or descriptions.
Is that even possible?
>>28In the cross-section diagram of the neck movement explanation, there is a big hole in the back, so I don’t think there are any concerns about the corelander.
The concept of multiple Gundams had existed before, but promoting it on such a large scale was groundbreaking.
>>29(A large number of humanoid Gundams presented at the Gundam gathering (more than half are seafood))
>>39(Upon closer inspection, there are not only past Gundam series but even Wing Gundam in the Gundam army.)
>>42(First Gundam and Crossbone Gundam sticking to a missile and being launched)
There was a guy who I absolutely hated among my friends at that time.
This isn’t Gundam! Don’t do things like a fighting game!
Just by seeing me putting the MG Gundam I decorated in a fighting pose as a joke, he got angry.
Shining is KABUKI, but God is HOTOKE.
The first Gundam I watched was the recent V, but I didn’t understand the story, so I stopped watching it quickly. This is when I started watching properly.
>>33The fact that the Another, or Alternative, series is standalone and beginner-friendly, apart from the SEED series, is also a strength.
There’s no problem with the Core Lander even though the Crossbone is reproducing the Core Fighter.
However, excluding self-parodies like SD or build series, I still think that the only thing that has gone this far is the thread image, which makes me feel that there are definitely lines that can be crossed.
Meeting all sorts of people in the preliminaries.
Participate in a serious battle in the main event.
Win and take care of the aftermath.
Easy to understand
The original shape of the chest is a straight ball inspired by armor, but I wonder why it changed again after MG.
Certainly, the only kit I can think of that allows the Core Fighter type to separate and isn’t explained is the Mobile Suit Ensemble Shining Gundam.
Even the Mobile Suit Ensemble has been reproduced, so it should be fine.
Strictly speaking, there is a canopy on the backpack, so it doesn’t fit into the main body.
If you think of the face-open as a continuation of the popular F91, it makes sense.
>>46If it were popular, it should have been on TV with F92.
The golden appearance in Super Mode looks like Dragon Ball, but I wonder if that came first.
>>47The awakening of Super Saiyan in anime was in 1991.
The G Gundam broadcast was in 1994.
Shining Finger, you know.
You’re just grabbing it and breaking it, aren’t you?
I really like it!!!!!!!!
When viewed as a work by Imagawa, it is properly folded and becomes impressive.
>>51That’s what is normal, you know.
The Japanese is strange.
>>51The only ones that aren’t folded are True Mazinger and Giant Robo…
>>51Finishing all the discussions in one tournament and saying “Let’s meet again next time!” is really impressive.
If you knew about Banpresto at that time, you couldn’t say that F91 wasn’t popular.
>>52It was partly because there were many rivals that stole the children’s popularity, not just Riders, that they appeared in the game.
To be honest, one reason why the character of East Undefeated is dramatically more famous than the original character from the Chinese source material is because of this old man (in his 50s).
If Shuffle Heart hadn’t appeared in G Generation, wouldn’t it have just been buried in history as a background setting?
Is it true that in the sequel, they are still left with the master’s arm pierced in their abdomen in the Guiana Highlands?
The situation of Gundam in the early ’90s, where they managed to keep things going with just F91.
>>56I didn’t know the release date, so I ended up seeing a game that my friend has, which isn’t Shining or God, but something unknown where Ultraman and others are the main characters…
It’s strange that our side is hitting too well, causing the popularity of SD to shrink.
>>58Although warriors are at their peak,
Isn’t SD itself the main content that G Generation had Gundams up to SEED?
>>58It means that it has fulfilled its role in a proper way.
>>58The Super Mobile General Arc was so much of a grand finale.
So it’s okay for Gundam to do things like this…
That’s awesome!
The reason W and X appear to be honor students.
>>61Is that so… Is that so…?
In the sequel, Domon and Rain are all tangled up, so I… stopped reading.
It’s a bit of a strange way to say it, but boys who got hooked on G Gundam ended up drifting away with ∀ Gundam.
>>70After that, I got hooked on the seeds.
>>70I really enjoyed ∀, but I was definitely in the minority.
>>70∀ had a good meaning as the final work of the Gundam series…
No matter what kind of worldview awaits us, it is comforting to think that in the end, it all comes down to the beard.
(This is strictly a personal opinion)
>>70Are people from that generation still watching Gundam (G Gundam)?
The five Gundams resemble a squad of heroes, but G represents rivals from various countries, W has more individual actions, X has two out of the five as enemies, and Seed features enemies besides the protagonist.
It’s four bodies that always act together in the same organization, but it’s around 00, huh?
Isn’t the Maxstar design a bit too greedy?
The place where you live is also relevant, but in the first place, there was no way to see ∀.
With execution BGM in the background, a special move!
This can work for Gundam too.
>>75The wings of the boy who killed W’s puberty had quite incredible background music.
>>84W was great on all the themes.
>>75Meteor Flow Full Assault Combination
!!!
Isn’t it great!!!?
I switched to Mini 4WD after GW…
It may be understandable that Bolt, with its main gimmicks of Bit-based Rose and Hammer, did not come out as 1/100 at that time.
I hadn’t done anything with ∀, so after X, there was quite a gap and then it was SEED.
I still think it’s genius that the Maxter football protector transforms into gloves.
At first glance, it may seem like it’s completely breaking the concept of the series, but there are rival characters in masks, and in fact, a masked character is the final boss.
Before the world becomes like that in the story, it is quite close to the traditional series, so it has a relatively strong sense of persuasion.
W will kill you with W… (Dedeen) was an all-out weapon that took everything.
>>85(Continues) There are also moments where I think I’m going to die! And when I look back, the beginning was too chaotic.
Honestly, I didn’t think the Rose was cool when it came to models at that time.
The Musha Rose and HGFC look cool!?
>>86The Musha Rose was great…
Somehow, the fundamental structure of conflict between Earth and space stemming from environmental issues, which is the core of the Gundam series, is thoroughly captured.
G Gun, Mercury, and GQ all win by destroying the opponent’s head!
There is a beauty in the design of ∀, but
Well, I can see that it’s not a design that appeals to children.
If it were something like the Turn A Gundam Shin that appeared in Build Fighters Try, it might have been better received.
According to an old person who knows the time, almost no gun enthusiasts were watching back then, but kids were watching a lot, and the gun enthusiasts started to panic and watch in the latter half.
It seems that was the feeling.
From a child’s sense of time, SEED was already a work that had completely separated from the Heisei trilogy, so I had long since graduated from Gundam.
I’ve been making plastic models fairly regularly now.
