Japanator Recommends: Mobile Fighter G Gundam

SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU! Now that I have your attention, let me tell you about THE GREATEST ANIME EVER MADE. Mobile Fighter: G Gundam has everything you need to help fuel your manly spirit.

Enough talk! Let's just talk about why you should buy G Gundam,

AND IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW ME, I WILL FIGHT YOU.

Everybody, it's the moment you've all been waiting for! Mobile Fighter G Gundam takes all the things you love about Gundam, and reduces it to a simple contest of men bashing each other in gigantic Gundams for the sake of ruling the world. All of the countries of the world have fled into space, and as a measure of peacekeeping, every four years they have the Gundam Fights as a sort of election process, where each nation's representative fights it out to become the ruler of the universe.

But, I don't care about that, because I'm trying to find my brother Kiyoji. He went and killed my mother and got my father imprisoned, and is off running around with the Dark Gundam -- the world's most dangerous Gundam. I, Domon Kasshu, will surely save my father's life and bring honor to Neo-Japan.

As a departure from normal Gundam design, each of these gundams are a ridiculous stereotype of their own nation, with ones like the Tequila Gundam for Neo-Mexico and the Windmill Gundam for Neo-Holland. My friend Chibodee, from Neo-America, is part boxer, part gunslinger, part football player, and a surfer/skater, depending on the situation.

Debuting back in 1994, the series is one of the most unique Gundam series out there. The series takes a step further into the "what the fuck is this shit" than any other Gundam series I have ever seen. Hell, it's a bit more over the top than the GN particles of Gundam 00. I think Master Asia, the Undefeated of the East, can give you a demonstration of what I mean:

See what I mean? It's a good example of why Master is so fantastic.

The series follows in this vein the whole time, with many of the flavor-of-the-week battles, but what makes it really special, in my opinion, is watching the English dub. The dub is in no way, shape or form high quality, but the amount of energy that they put into it makes it so laughable. Thankfully, the dub is nothing like Love Hina, where it grates on the ears. It's just bad and filled with a lot of yelling.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam is a great show to watch with a group, and laugh at the blatant racism, the over-the-top fighting, and typical shonen plot line. It's a gem, I assure you, but for the same reason that films like Dead Alive are so great.

You can't recommend G Gundam enough.
This post of yours glows with an awesome power!
post above made me lol, I remember that
Ah yes, good ol' G Gundam, the quintessential "any evil can be defeated by the power of love" mecha anime.

That, and the predecessor to Gurren Lagann's, "catch naked damsel in distress with your cloak" technique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fUJ6LehQ3I&feature=channel_page (35 second mark)
I love you, Domon Kasshu!!
Ah yes, G Gundam, the best thing Sunrise will ever do or even Japan will ever do.

The dub is nothing short of incredible, something ALL hotblooded shows should strive to be. I mean it is by no means the quality you get from a dub like GitS, Cowboy Bebop, Kurokami, and so forth but the dub brings out a lot in the show that really makes it shine(not to say the japanese cast isn't wonderful too).

Kamina/Simon, Domon/Master Asia, and Coop/Jaime need to team up in some awesome Gurren Lagann, G Gundam, and Megas XLR crossover OVA.
Or just remake G Gundam with Gundam 00 production values, bring back the original casts and ditch the first ED and it would a perfect series. OR create the long awaited sequel.

No matter what G Gundam is a masterpiece that you must watch.
Oh man you didn't even talk about the Dark Gundam's three THEORETICAL abilities.
oh damn i loved this show...further reminder i had the greatest dad on earth(rip) when he would yell burning finger, and flip the bird at the tv...good times
G Gundam: Putting the "Dumb" in Gundam.
I wish that pun worked better in writing.
That show was nearly unwatchable. I like the Dragon Gundam, though.
please tell me that there is a Super Robot Wars game out with this series in it!
Funny thing that the only Gundam i like is G Gundam.

SHINING FINGEEEEEEEERRR!!!
Domon, I love you. But not as much as you love Master Asia.
@mana,

Yes, and there are alot of games with G gundam

Tequila Gundam.

Good lord, that would break the earth, just out of amazing.

I watched the last half of this on a stream a few months back, from whe nthe Gundam fight started on, and good lord was it just incredulously absoludicrously awesome. I honestly like it better than Gurren laggan. Plus, the ending is probably one of my favorite endings I've seen.
I watched G Gundam AGES ago....and I liked it ok until I got towards the end...and I had an epiphany, G Gundam was possibly the one of the stupidest gundam series I have ever watched, not to mention lame, and the animation left A HELL OF A LOT to be desired. It didn't even begin to have the level of depth and detail every other gundam series has. So no, thanks I'll stick with wing kthx.
I saw this series and loved it, but you don't hear much about it.
That ass
@zombrigit

I can understand the distaste for G Gundam's badassery (after all, not all of us were meant to handle the sheer awesome), but here's the thing that a lot of you purist "Gundam has to be srz bsnz" folks don't get.

G GUNDAM ISN'T MEANT TO BE SEEN AS A DEEP INSIGHT INTO THE CONSEQUENCES OF WAR LIKE EVERY OTHER GUNDAM IS.

It's robots portrayed by their worst national stereotypes kicking the shit out of each other in the most possibly badass ways. If you don't think an overly patriotic gundam wearing a football helmet beating the crap out of a clown gundam is awesome, then I don't know what to say.
It was this show that got me hooked on toonami and Gundam. I even remember buying the dark gundam and Phoenix gundam action figures, good times.
@Gee-man: Being one of those who believes Gundam shows should have a set list of certain requirements I actually agree with you. The thing that makes G Gundam acceptable (and thus, a pretty fun/cool show) in my mind is that it's obvious when you look at it that they weren't intending it to be like other shows. It was SUPPOSED to be a super-robot-esque Gundam series (and thus, kind of paradoxical).

That said, this is why I can't accept Seed Destiny/00, since they were trying to be of the serious side but failed absolutely miserably.
Look! The East is BURNING RED!
Cosign wit yeasir
Good God YES. It makes me all tingly just thinking about it. Awesomeness to the extreme.
I seem to have forgotten something......




what could it have been....




I know its around here somewhere.........






OH THATS RIGHT. ITS JUST MY ERUPTING BURNING FINGER
I picked the game up today, and the TvC stick came yesterday from FedEx.
This game honestly goes above and beyond, Capcom put a lot of heart into it. Between the extremely functional online, great controls, fantastic cast of characters, and adding some fan favorite new ones. There isn't much more you can ask for from a fighting game.
It is a big relief the online works well, I haven't experienced too much lag, and most matched are lag free.
What the game is missing is a good Trial mode like in SFIV and the static anime images at the end aren't Capcom art, I mean Udon does a better-than-decent job at the art, but I wish they somehow got the Tatsunoko animations at the end. The online mode could benefit from a lobby feature and voice chat (which is partially the Wii's fault). My biggest gripe is the final boss, it is just so damn stupid and not fun to fight. I know that they are suppose to be tough, even cheap, but Yami just pisses me off (more than Seth maybe).
You know, before I got meself a 360, I really wanted to play this game, but when I got it for the PC, I was shocked because it was exactly like the 360 version. For real, it's basically the same fucking game . To me, the reviewer simply gave it a 9/10 because it was a fun game to play, especially to him. It reminded him of earlier enjoyments from when he was playing what he considered the best Mario game and reminded him of the reasons why that game was considered the best. Recognizing that these reasons were fully present in the new game, its really a good game. Or at least, that is just what I'm getting at.
Also, as a closing comment to all the 360 and PS3 fans who are complaining about score, u mad. (im not saying all of you, just those guys who find it incomprehensible that a system like the Wii could hold such an awesome game).
