No 00 fans, 'ey?

I liked the first season quite a bit but was not very impressed with the second one. The mecha design was great though.

I was, back in the day... Wing, G, god I even sat through and watched the chibi series Gundam SD. What really killed it for me was SEED. Loved the characters, loved the cleaner style, but it was at a time where I just wanted more giant robot fights, and it was too much exposition/non-robot scenes for adolescent me.

The irony now is that Code Geass has pretty much the same thing (giant robots, but 90% non-robot scenes) and I loved it...so probably means I need to go back and re-watch SEED and I'll enjoy it now. *shrug*

But yeah, Wing still remains my definitive Gundam series. Always wanted models, but never found any at toy stores (my town sucks) and the one time I did it was on a vacation to Florida, and it was in the Japan section of Epcot, so the prices were ridiculous.

0079-Char's Counterattack, 08th MS, G, Wing, part of Seed (Never again), Build Fighters and Try, G-Reco, and what's released of The Origin so far. Looking forward to Iron Blooded Orphans in a month. I still need to go back and watch 0080 and Victory.

As for gunpla, I have a master grade God Gundam as well as a chibi version of the Nu Gundam. I want to get the 1/100 Shining Gundam, but I hear the kit isn't very good, which pains me as it's one of my favorite MS designs. (The upgrade is OKAY, but oof.) But what I really want to get my hands on is Try-on 3, because god dammit, I love super robots way too much. I was a Tetsujin/Mazinger/Getter fan well before I started watching Gundam.

I love 0080 the most. It's my favorite. To date it's one of the few anime that has really changed my outlook on things. I think it was better at Tomino's anti-war message than Tomino. But then again, he's always been an unstable guy. As funny as he is, and deserving of respect since he started it all and has had some great works like Turn A, I actually find that I like Gundam series he directed personally to be a bit harder to enjoy.

My favorites are that, 08th MST, Zeta, F91 and Build Fighters. That last one is just such a labor of love, I couldn't help but smile.

I'm actually giving my Nu model elements from 0080 in the form of one of arm-mounted Gatling guns, though I'm also giving it Sazabi's shotgun-like weapon. I never was a fan of fin funnels, I just view them as a cheap way for a main character to rapidly dispatch grunt suits, and my preference is leaning towards the back mounted cannon. If I can figure out how to I plan on making a storage rack for a spare weapon behind the shield, but then again that might be a bad idea sinc shields were typically the piece of MS equipment to get ripped apart the fastest

Melphina · **09-04-2015, 10:31 AM**

So right now while I have a list handy.Â

I'm using parts from

Nu Gundam
Lightning gundam
Powered GM Cardigan
Gundam Alex
Sazabi

I could potentially give it Victory 2's beam saber, but idk

What sells Gundam for me is the military sci-fi setting, so Build Fighters looked a lot like Beyblades or Yu-Gi-Oh! to me.Â

However, Iron-Blooded Orphans looks closer to what I look for with Gundam.

Aaron · **09-05-2015, 12:21 AM**

This guy was the best. *squeals*

***Nero*** · **09-05-2015, 12:33 AM**

I've spent way more money on Gunpla than I care to admit. Char's Counterattack, War in the Pocket, 0079, 08th MS team, Wing....Gundam 00 was my latest series and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

One day I'll have the time, space, and money to buy those PGs. Red Astray, I shall savour thee.

Vale · **09-05-2015, 12:37 AM**

Never gotten into the Gunpla aspect (I bought a Unicorn Gundam Master Grade kit, opened it up, and then closed it and never looked at it again xD) but I love most of the UC Gundam stuff. Of course, the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam was probably my favorite, then all the Char's Counterattack stuff. Unicorn Gundam, aside from the "space magic" ending, was awesome all the way through... and now they have the new OVA's coming out that are covering Char's history.

Gundam Wing was pretty good. I think that was my first Gundam anime like many others. I also watched Seed and 00, but was less impressed by them after having watched stuff like the original Gundam, War in the Pocket, 08th MS Team, and even Turn A Gundam (I found myself annoyed at several points in this series, but it all came together in the end).

So, yeah. I'd say I'm a pretty big Gundam fan.

Melphina · **09-06-2015, 05:54 PM**

I'll have pictures of my Nu Gundam up shortly, so far it's looking pretty good. Still working on the paint I want to use on it, I can't think of anything that'd be good, and my mind keeps running to red....I don't want red dangit!!!

Bf was kinda that exactly, but it also was the Just for Fun installment of the franchise. I liked it because it clearly something the staff enjoyed doing and the mythology gags are really on point

I've heard that too, but only from time to time.
