Before anyone starts making "photoshopped" claims, that image is from an artbook, Gundam Fix, featuring works by Hajime Katoki done in a photorealistic manner (small mention of the artbook on the wikipage). Rest of that artbook here ;)

Note that none of the images are real! (AFAIK)

I read in a blog somewhere that they were attempting a 1x1 scale model of a Gundam, I guess that's it.

I wonder though, is that the original RX-78 Gundam?

Nope, it's not. It's not a photo, just photo-realistic depictions.

It's probably depicting the construction of Amuro's RX-93 Nu in Char's Counterattack.

just for the record

i like ALL gundam
each series has it's own charm.

although Gundam ZZ is a bit of a kiddy pleaser.
that's about the only Gundam series i could make any comment on, but i still like it good enough.

fav would be Kidou Senshi Gundam
also known as First Gundam or Gundam 0079
it's the very first gundam series, which makes it special in my eyes.

I will agree with you Seed is little better wing. I will say that I had high hope for 00 but because of what happen in the last episode..... I am losing hope for it.

I *tear*ed. ): And the guy who quit Gundam 00 because of the Throne Gundams, keep going. I know they pissed me off. *evil grin*

Anyways, I don't think anyone's really touched up on this, but Gundam 00 seems to be for Gundam Wing what Gundam SEED was trying to be for the UC Gundams. At least that's what people on other sites/discussions have been insinuating. Myself, I've never seen UC because of the lower quality of animation and I've gotten through about 4 episodes of SEED before putting it on extended hiatus until I'm bored enough to try again. That said, reading through this forum's sparked an interest in me to hit up UC, especially since so many of you are of the opinion that it trumps SEED (and every other Gundam), regardless of animation.


I'm a real fanboy of Gundam 00, maybe because it's also slightly reminiscent of Code Geass and the good points of Wing, but I hope it ends up with a better ending than Wing did--oh right, the whole "Foundation" idea and the master plan of Aeolia Schenberg is also something straight out of Isaac Asimov, which I had the good fortune of reading before starting 00. [on a side note, if you liked Dune, read Asimov's Foundation series up to the point where he decided to merge his other two series and bank the hell out of what he'd written for decades, effectively mucking up ALL three at once. Damn capitalists.] Also, Gundam 00 seems to focus less on what Gundams look like as opposed to what they're capable of doing, which sucks for eyecandy and modelers, but it gives the story people a lot of things to play with. Instrumentality~ho!

Well UC is a lot of better then Seed, UC has over 300 episodes in there timeline and all of them are connect together really well. Gundam Seed takes most of those ideas together and mixes into 50 episodes If you watch Seed  there Newtype are called Corrantars. Seed does have bigger action scenes but it sill good.

A Lot of people think that Wing and 00 are a lot a like but that only with characters not with story or action. Wing is more like Zeta gundam and char counter attack

Also Gundam 00 has nothing that Geass has. Trying to combine those together equal fail.

I dont know what to say.. 00' Is nothing like Wing.. 00' Like zeta? are you kidding me? Like chars counterattack? I should reach thru this computer screen and hurt you.
"Also, Gundam 00 seems to focus less on what Gundams look like as opposed to what they're capable of doing."
Um.. I.. I dont know what to say..
You two have left me... Did you even watch Zeta? It is the most hated gundam series by its creator.. He killed off lol like 2/3's of the cast.. lolz If 00' was like zeta more the lokon would be dead.. And wing.. Noone in wing dies.. ever lol they live thru every amazeing thing..
Give me a few to compose my thoughts.. i need to go get dinner.. ffs


Also Setuna acts just like Herro Yuri there character type are the same.

 heheh you know it to be true!!!

Keep watching 00 At the end of the series. I will bet that more then 2/3 of the cast will be killed they already killed about half of them. Did you see the last episode they killed three character at the end of the episode.

Also your wrong about WIng all the doctor died and tres also died. Myelne Parents died alot of character died in WIng.


DAM I KNEW I WAS RIGHT!!! Gundam 00 is going kill 90% cast off!!! HAHAHA It feel good to be right. ALso did you see the new Innovator!!!! IT GOING TO BE GOOD!!!
Tatsujin need to fight hard to get user to buy the PS3 slim...

What is Kou accused of at the end of 0083?  I must have missed a few things at the end.  The series just started to get so mundane.  Was this series weak for anyone else?

I got a question for all you Gundam fans:

I've never watched any of the Gundams, though I've certainly heard of them, so is the original Gundam good?

I know there's some guy in there named "Char" who everybody keeps talking about.

Yes.
Also, Char is the guy with the Zaku II S (fast version of Zaku II).

Oh, now I remember another question about that series that I wanted to ask:

In relation to the original series, where does the movie "Chars Counterattack" fit in?  Do you watch that before or after the original Gundam?

I think it's after ZZ, but if not it should be around that.

It's after the original Gundam(I would recommend the movie trilogy over the series, cuts out a lot of filler) and Zeta. Definitely watch those first. It might be after ZZ as stated above but I've never seen that one and have no problem getting into CCA.

I'm a little disappointed with Gundam Builders because it's not Angelic Layer, and everything should be Angelic Layer.

I like the characters though, MILF included.

What do you guys think of all those Super Deformed (SD) Gundam animes?

It's pretty clearly children's entertainment with limited appeal to anyone over 12. Unless that's, ya'know, your thing.

I've no objection with Sunrise using the IP to make programs which appeal to a younger audience. I'm less enthused when they try and take the pretty bleak setting of the Universal Century and water it down, like in Gundam Age, or just get lost tonally like in ZZ which tried to make a fun adventure story in the aftermath of a post-apocalyptic war.

I need to (re)watch some of the Universal Century Gundam series.  They seem to be the only ones that every likes.  Any particular reason for that?

Everyone seems to like the guy in the white helmet:
