MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM - Is It Worth Your Time? 

TLDR (without watching the video); yes.

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. Greetings from Seattle, USA.

How do you guys only have 2k followers. Super enjoyable for all of us space autists, we are legion.

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

Wow... I didn't realize that Gundam is the Star Trek of anime, I really never looked at it that way.

Watching 0079 then the more recent The Origins series will blow your mind with how incredible the animation has become.

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!

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.

Gonna hold you to that next review promise....it's either that or Patlabor, the movies and the series, make the right choice.

I NEED a podcast where you rant about mech, anime and stuff with no filter. I'd definitely pay for that

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

Man I love this channel. Every time there's a new video it's at a drop everything level of importance.

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! 😊

This channel peaked my morbid curiosity like nothing else and I love you guys for it. Keep up the good work.

Can’t wait for rob to have a 3 hour break down about zz in the future

being a huge gundam fan, you guys sound like a blast to chill with and talk mecha bs. onto your review of zeta

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!

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.

God I love your channel so much, I hope you guys continue to grow. Best wishes.

THE LEGENDS RETURN

ITS A GUNDAM!!! 79...

1:30 You just saved stardust memories for me

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.

Heetorah?!

I like what you're doing, it's amusing to listen while I play video games.

You guys are gonna kill me when you do the stalker vid, in like 2 years. Keep at it, this shit's good.

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 🤣

YES!

Much more than G Fighter Gundam

its very entertaining watching two chaps talk about passions they have, that 2000 other people also have passion for.

Please do the original Macross (the Super Dimension Fortress Macross) please please

Hey remember when one of the main Pilots of getter robo sacrifice themselves in order to destroy the dinosaur Empire

Yes, yes it is

You guys broke my f****** eardrums also it's 2:00 in the morning

Man Rob is a total Babe with some great taste in media

“Emperor palpatine could’ve been a mother to me” lmaoo

Thanks for this fun and thoughtful dive into Gundam. Should do a video about the differences between the original show and the movie Trilogy.

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

Thank you for finally doing this review! Please do Zeta sometime

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!

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.

keep doing gundam videos they are fantastic.

based and Job John-pilled, love that he's still kicking around in f90 and crossbone

I love your guys stuff it it's hilarious

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

Akshuahlly, it IS about WOW COOL ROBOT :^)

Dopetastic

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.

As someone who got into Univesal Century very late, I was really impressed with this story despite its age. Also lol "Have you heard of Hitler?"

Ramba ral is all I need

You guys need more views.

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

You lot should do entire sunrise studio anime discussions!

Will you do Code Geass eventually?

Oi! Can you do a review on Big O? Not enough people talk about it! Thanks.

You two should do a video on memories movie.

love the content. now, DOUBLE ZETA WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN???

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

imma give you a follow for mentioning megas xlr

Can you guys do a video on Megas XLR please?

Gundam is pretty good however RU-vid censors it

mans has never heard of battleship yamato

Do Gundam Unicorn, love the content!

0079 really makes you feel like a Gundam

I'm holding out hope for a G Gundam video.

Rob hating Picard makes me want you guys to review it. With Rob randomly shouting in anger. Protip: Picard is horrible. Don't watch it.

Super robot gang unite

Great discussion, but I can't forgive the lack of Kai Shiden simping

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

Do Zeta, ZZ, CCA and Unicorn please

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

Zieg Zeon!

grats on 2k can you done down the funny loud noises next time, its triggering my asbergs

Do MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM THE ORIGINS.

Cover Moobal Soot Zoota Goondumb

Well I have to say is combat mecha xabungle

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)

But yea titans are best faction

Review Neon Genesis Evangelion next !!!!!

I watch y’all cus you have cool accents. That is all.

So the character section mentions nothing about Amuro Ray? ouch! lol

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.

I can’t believe you guys called us Zeonists Nazis, because you’re probably right.

Honestly really enjoy your personalities and the dumb rants you guys get on

You guys are weird, nice voice btw

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.

Like these guys aren’t autistic lol

Soooo.. I am a Zeon fan.. Yes their LEADERS were Nazis but a lot of Zeon characters weren’t bad they were actually human but had to follow orders

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.

You still believe samurai flamenco is the greatest anime ?

Space natzees did nothing wrong

If black people can say the N word you guys should be able to say the A word without worrying what people think.

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!

ILO the movie trilogy is better, at least Newtype bullshit wasn't all over the place

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

Zeon defenders are easily the worst part about gundam

You guys should be cancelled just incase.
