Review: ...Well this kinda isn`t like all of the rest of gundam series.Every four years or so,the colonies
have a gundam of gundams tournament.The last nation`s gundam that`s standing in the end will win.The series is based on Neo
Japan`s fighter, Domon Kasshu.Domon pilots the Shining Gundam,
Along with his crewmember,Rein Mikamora.The reason Domon has ent-
ered the tournament is to get revenge on his brother Kioji.Kioji
pilots the Dark Gundam,A powerful gundam,but I don`t want to spoil it.One other thing that I forgot to mention is that YOU are
the gundam.So basically that means if one your gundam arms get
cut off(your arm doesn`t get cut off)you feel the pain.Same with
your leg,etc.And it`s all because of this suit you have to put on
But if your head gets cut off,you don`t feel the pain(thank good-

Summary: An important part of the Gundam Franchise
Review: Alright for some of those who have been confused by this show or have been initially off-put by it's nature, here's a brief history lesson. In 1994 as the Gundam approached it's 15th anniversary the franchise's popularity was seriously flagging. The last two entries in the Universal Century Saga, the motion picture Gundam F91, and television series Victory Gundam had failed grasp a hold of the imagination of anime fans the way the older Gundam series had done. Older fans were gradually turning away from the series, and new fans were scared off by the thick continuity of the UC saga. In short to keep the franchise running, something drastic had to be done. Thus the first of the "Alternate Universe" Gundam series was conceived, paving the way for Gundam Wing, Gundam X, Turn-A Gundam, and the current Gundam SEED. Had G-Gundam failed these shows might have never made it off the drawing boards.While this show remains the most controversial of the alternate universes and I can understand why some Gundam purists might have problems with this series, I feel it's place in history must be respected. Had G-Gundam not succeeded, the Gundam Franchise may have crumbled in the early 90s and may have never been brought to America. It like some other older franchises would sadly be unknown to casual anime fans. Initially created as a parody of sorts, G-Gundam was conceived by Yasuhiro Imagawa, who would prove to make a career out of re-imagining old shows with such series as Giant Robo and Getta Robo Armageddon. The show also helped launch the career of Kimitoshi Yamane who went on to design mecha for shows like Cowboy Bebop and Escaflowne. The series is a mesh of elements from the original Gundam universe, super-robot shows such as Mazinger Z, martial arts anime such as DBZ and Saint Seya, and video games like Street fighter. It's an exciting mixture of eye-catching designs with insane fights that never takes itself too seriously. G-Gundam is set in a world in which the vast majority of humanity has moved to space. War has been banned, but tensions still flair up... thus prompting the need for the Gundam Fight. A vast international tournament held every 4 years with the victor's nation winning absolute power. However as a number of flamboyant (sometimes somewhat stereotypical) combatants from each nation duke it out at the 13th Gundam fight, something strange is at hand. Pivotal in all of this is a mysterious man by the name of Domon Kashu who wanders the earth his mechanic/love interest Rain, looking for a man in an old photograph. Meanwhile a mysterious metallic monstrosity called the Devil Gundam (later renamed Dark Gundam for the US Dub) lurks. Sadly this first set contains some of the weakest episodes in the series as Domon comes across as a bit of a brash jerk initially until we learn where he's coming from, and it's obvious that the crew was still experimenting with the world they were creating. Still there's a lot to like about these episodes mecha mayhem abounds and the plot unveils itself. So in short if you're an anime fan of any type I recommend checking this series out. If you are a Gundam fan initially put off by this series (as I was) I recommend giving it a second chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised. This box set is a fine way to check out the show as it's very reasonably priced, and features the original Japanese dialog track (superior to the show's so-so dub.) Who is Domon Kashu? Who is the mysterious man he is searching for? What is the Devil Gundam? And just how does a mysterious group known as the shuffle alliance play into this? Check out this set and find out. Gundam Fighter's set? Reaaaaadddddddy Gooooooooooo!!

Summary: One of the Best Anime's around!
Review: Although I have heard many commenters give their opinions that Mobile Fighter G Gundam is a similar series to Gundam Wing, I must voice that I disagree strongly with this opinion. Firstly, I believe that the mecha design, characters, and the storyline are much better in the version of gundam. Even though compared to The 08th MS Team or Gundam ZZ, this may be considered a "kiddie" gundam, it is still excellent and well worth watching.
It's plot isn't very complex, merely a competition and an evil force threatening to destroy earth and the way of live for many colonists. However, deeper into the story, each character has their own dream and a deeper personality then most think. For example, Sai Sici, pilot of the Dragon Gundam, always appeared hyper and joking. However, in his fight against Domon, he changes dramatically, becoming serious and determined, not caring if he gave his life.
The whole series does start out rather sketchy and boring however, with Domon Kashu or Neo Japan win with a mere Shining Finger. However, he soon meets greater opponents, and a new gundam is acquired, the God Gundam (edited out to Burning Gundam in the Toonami version) special techniques, and the help from the mysterious pilot Swartz Bruder, who may have a link to Domon's past. With the help of Swartz and his Spiegol Gundam (edited to Shadow in Toonami version) along with his friends, the climax builds up tremendously despite it's boring start. I believe that this series, despite it's minor drawbacks over it's simplified storyline, and kiddie look, this is a great series, and if you were able to like Wing, then there will be no problem for you liking this one.

Summary: G Gundam
Review: First of, I would like to say that Gundam still remains the top Mecha Anime around, and will stay so for a LONG time. Well, I've seen every episode of G Gundam up to now, and I have to say that it is a great Gundam series. A lot like Gundam Wing, it is set in an alternate universe, where a tournament is held every year to see which Gundam is strongest. First off, the storyline is good, the action is good and frequent, and the animation, like Gundam Wing. A lot. Well, I will get this DVD when it comes out, and I know I will enjoy it. 5 out of 5.

Summary: Great!
Review: G Gundam is a great series with a good story and characters that evolve and grow throughout the plot. But thats not all, G Gundam has plenty of action strapped to its story, it'll get you hooked. At one point I actually started rooting for my favorite country's gundam. In conclusion G Gundam is a great series, a must for a gundam fan. Even a person who doesn't like Gundam will find this interesting(specially the martial arts).

Summary: G Gundam is tyte but not better then gundam wing
Review: G Gundam is not better then the main gundam series,GUNDAM WING!First of all, G Gundam is nothing like the gundam series. Gundam wing is about
"Centuries in the future, in the year After Colony 195, Earth is surrounded by orbiting space colonies. The colonists are cruelly oppressed by the Earth Alliance, which uses huge humanoid fighting machines called "mobile suits" to control the populace. Behind this tyranny is the secret society called "Oz," which has infiltrated the Alliance military and steered it towards its repressive course.
Now, the space colonies are ready to strike back. Five young pilots, equipped with advanced mobile suits called "Gundams," are sent to Earth to wage guerilla war against Oz and its Alliance puppets. "
G Gundam is about fighter from different nations trying to win as many matches as they can without losing to be involed in the Gundam tornement in hong kong. Whoever wins the tournement gains control of space for the next 4 years. The main character is Domon Kasshu, Neo Japan's
fighter. I would buy the gundam wing boz set(13 and up) rather then the G Gundam set if you were older and a true anime fan. If you were a kid I would buy G Gundam(7 and up) because you will be able to understand it much easier.

Summary: a very unusual gundam but still very good
Review: g gundam or mobile fighter g gundam is probably one of the most unlikely series you would have expected to come out on dvd
but it did and many people are glad. this series is probably one of the most fun series to watch to come to dvd it is just so cool every thing about the series it done with a sense of stylization that is hard not to like of many gundam fans will say it is stupid and ok so it is not as realistic as other gundam series but for crying out loud it is about super strong humans fighting in giant robots so it is no sopossed to look realistic so all gryping aside it is still a very good series that should be checked out by any one who likes mecha anime gundam anime or dbz style anime

Summary: Ludicrous, but carried off with a certain panache
Review: G Gundam premiered in 1994. It was the first "Gundam" show to abandon the main, serious "Universal Century" (UC) continuity that had linked all previous Gundam series and movies. While UC series like Gundam 0083, Zeta Gundam, and Char's Counterattack all take place in historical relation to one another, with recurring characters and reference to past events, G Gundam, like Gundam Wing after it, is off in its own little universe. G Gundam was also a big fat commercial ploy by Bandai to goose Gundam model kit and paraphernalia sales, which had been slipping since the lukewarm reception of Victory Gundam (1993-94). The result is something like Gundam meets Street Fighter by way of Dragonball Z. Dozens of over-the-top Gundams representing the different space "nations" come together in the Gundam Fight. These "mobile fighters" all have ludicrous traits that represent their nations. E.g., the "Neo-Canada" entrant is called "Grizzly Gundam" (Lumber Gundam in Japan), and is built like a ... well, a lumberjack, with a big old mecha chainsaw on its back. Seriously. If you think that's wild, you need to check out the Mummy Gundam and the Mermaid Gundam, which transforms into a fish. Mermaid is actually an elegant design, in a psychedelic sort of way. Each pilot has a finishing move with his Gundam, and in the best PlayStation style, yells out the move as he does it. "Shining Finger!!" The main characters are a bunch of top Gundam fighters who come together in a playing-card-motif kind of club called (ahem) The Shuffle Alliance. All of this is obviously a long way from the semi-realistic, gritty military drama of the UC Gundam shows. For that reason a lot of older fans despise G Gundam. They figure, with some justice, that it gives potential fans the wrong impression of what the other, more serious Gundam shows are like. (Gundam Wing's popularity with preteens likewise misled lots of people to think Gundam is about pretty-faced misanthropic boys riding invincible uber-Gundams and giving incomprehensible speeches about war and peace. Actually, most of the good UC shows are about military men and women piloting all-too-mortal mobile suits, and they contain some genuinely moving scenes.) Me, I wouldn't buy G Gundam on DVD or go out of my way to watch it, but I gotta admit it played out on TV somewhat better than it sounds. The fight choreography is excellent, if liberally laced with drama/cheese. Several cool technological tricks are unveiled, like the skintight movement-sensitive suits that the pilots wear inside their cockpits to direct the machines. The final God Gundam piloted by hero Domon Kasshu (Burning Gundam in the US) is a gorgeous mecha. Schwarz Bruder's "Neo-German" Gundam Spiegel (Shadow Gundam) is also sweet. The actors manage to invest the campy mecha fights with passion. Rain Mikamura is a babe. In sum, while there are a lot of more nutritious Gundam series out there (Zeta Gundam is FINALLY coming on domestic DVD, in fall 2004!), G Gundam offers decent brain and eye candy for fans.
