@mehcuda67 fairly sure you’re being silly…
but…
that was Gangnam Style… Referring to a fancy neighborhood in Seoul… basically the Beverly Hills of S.Korea
Gundam is a Japanese Anime Series, featuring giant Robot Suits.
@mehcuda67 So help me, “Gundam Style” was the first thing that popped into my head. (and yes, I knew it was actually Gangam Style). I had never heard of Gundam until now.
@ThomasF What about Gundam Wing (which I misread as “Goddamn Wing” at first glance)? 0080, Unicorn, and that reboot that aired on Toonami a year or so ago are all that I’ve seen but 0083 is the only one I would consider rewatching. Is Gundam even available on a service like Netflix or Funimation Now or does Rightstuf have their streaming rights too?
@JT954@RiotDemon Yep, Crunchyroll, Hulu, and even their official channel. The full movie for Gundam F91 is up there too. And 0080 is pretty alright.
Unicorn is definitely a somewhat iffy watch on its own, as it gets the most impact if you already know/have the original, Zeta, ZZ, and Char’s Counterattack.
Gundam Wing is kinda ridiculous. It’s really nostalgic for most people, but it’s not in the same timeline as the main series and is pretty soap opera-y and angsty compared to the main timeline. G Gundam, Gundam Seed, Gundam 00, Gundam AGE, and Iron-Blooded Orphans are all in a similar vein to varying degrees of success.
Guy at my church, mid 60s, him and the wife were attempting to fix me up with daughter-in-law sister, invited me over for dinner. He has me come visit him in basement after. Ho. Ly. Crap. He had a ton, pretty sure I can properly use “literally” here to say he literally had a ton of Gundam models. Some guys do trains. Some guys do ships. He does Gundam. I can’t even imagine how much money he’s put into it. It was one of the most stunning sites I have ever seen.
@DVDBZN@simplersimon that seems complicated. First he’s got to cancel his date. Get the guy to divorce his wife. Hang onto his collection in the divorce. Then get married. Then take them out of the box… That’s… A lot.
@2many2no@RiotDemon,
I prefer being an adult over being a kid. Freedom to do as I please…except in 2020.
I know my tween nephew watches Japanese cartoons. It all seems quite ridiculous and child-like to me. I guess if you’re an immature man you might like it (I refuse to believe an adult women would enjoy it, unless she’s developmentally delayed).
@2many2no@kittykat9180@RiotDemon
There’s adult themed anime too, just as there are child themed live-action movies. I don’t watch much, but I appreciate animation in that it gives the creator so much more room to be artistic.
If you don’t understand why somebody likes something, it doesn’t mean there is something wrong with them @kittykat9180. Frankly, that just close-minded and rude.
Is the question referring to the concept/fact that giant robots are cool? Or the actual Gundam franchise? Or just that feeling when you pick up a real gun?
Do human piloted giant robots like voltron and power rangers and pacific rim type stuff count?
@RiotDemon@unksol YES, me too! I was going to post something about that but you beat me to it. I’m not a gundam follower but who wouldn’t want to see this thing??!!
Following the very many Gundam anime series? What do you take me for, some kind of nerd?
No, my only real interaction with the franchise was to play a Gundam Wing fighting game (Japanese ROM) on zsnes over the network with some other kids in the computer lab in highschool.
I am for many years the creator and coordinator of an Anime/Dramas/Manga/Foodie club. A Wing of which is still currently in a New York City high school; a well as on Facebook: “Beacon/Pan-Asian Culture Club.” At least half of our Membership has watched some episodes of “GUNDAM”, and are constantly fascinated by the series.
Is that like Gundam Style?

Gundam 0083 is my first and favorite series (have yet to find another I liked). Saw it back on Adult Swim 20ish years ago.
0083 also has my favorite theme song:
Close second is the original show:
@JT954 08th MS, Zeta, Thunderbolt, and Unicorn all have a similar vibe and tone (since they’re same timeline)

@JT954 @ThomasF depends on which series you want to watch. Some are on crunchyroll and hulu.

Huh?
What is Gundam media?

@simplersimon
So, when’s the wedding?
@DVDBZN My bloodline dies with me!

I was more into Mechwarrior.
@tweezak I was a Battletech guy
probably saw something in the 90’s on Toonami…
in my mind…gundam wing?
I still have a Gundam Wing t-shirt from highschool. That was the last time I watched it.

According to the Google that’s some Japanese cartoon.
Is that correct? I don’t really watch many cartoons as I’m an adult now.
@kittykat9180 anime is not just for kids.
@kittykat9180 @RiotDemon Adulting is highly overrated…

@2many2no @kittykat9180 @RiotDemon The 1979 series and its direct sequels are pretty serious sci-fi war-drama type shows.
@2many2no @kittykat9180
I mean, ouch. I’m an adult woman and yes, I like anime. I was not developmentally delayed. What a narrow minded view.
Cool, I’m narrow-minded about cartoons. Meh, whatever. Enjoy your weird cartoons.
@kittykat9180 no you’re being narrow minded by calling me developmentally disabled because I enjoy animation.

/youtube real gundam
@unksol in general those are mechas. Depending on the franchise they are called different things. Pacific Rim are Jaegers.
@unksol I wanna see that in person.
@RiotDemon @unksol YES, me too! I was going to post something about that but you beat me to it. I’m not a gundam follower but who wouldn’t want to see this thing??!!
@RiotDemon I know the call them jaegers/mechs etc… I’m just not clear on the distinction other than gundam being a brand…
Me dumb big robot cool

@2many2no One of my top 3 anime. I have it in DVD, Blu Ray, manga, and action figure forms.
Shooooooooooooooooowtime.
I was all Transformers (hence my user name).

Is this like Dragon Ball?

Gundam isn’t anime. The theme song to Gundam ZZ says so:
