Never heard of people not liking IBO because "it doesnt feel like watching Gundam" because the kits are so popular that Bandai milked it for years before going back to Seed and Unicorn and it is loved by the community eventhough they're divided for the storyline. Some embrace the change of style from military to pmc with a little bit of Mafia style and some hated the way the story goes. Im in the "the story was awesome" gang coz of the lack on ex machina and it shows the cruel reality of peace and freedom. Also, barbatos is iconic as fuck
Same here! I absolutely love the IBO series. The design of Barbatos is so beautiful for me. The werewolf theme coupled with the lack of beam weapons does bring a breathe of fresh air to the franchise.
Absolutely. Just finished the series for the first time as I've been hooked on Unicorn and Gundam Wing. IBO was amazing and was by far my favorite of the series.
@@Shakukirai completely agree. My only gripe is that they didn't show the "good guys" (i.e. government) on their good side enough so it kinda failed in portraying them as probably better characters than Tekkadan (especially considering how many atrocities they've commited, letting Iok live longer than 5 seconds being their biggest warcrime ever). Other than that show was fantastic in setting up the story and characters. Yes, it wasn't perfect but goddamit, it's really darn solid Gundam show. My favorite is still being Turn-A and IBO is on the third place after that and original series with 00 being really close to it.
@@fakrulabdullah although you types "Zaku's" as in reference to properties of one Zaku: The Zaku are Zaku not "Zakus" because that would make it sound like "Zack-cuss," they don't cuss but instead; fight. You mouth-breathers have false sense of phonetic flow~coherence.

Basically the Gundam look was meant to be similar to the one of the other Federation Mobile Suits but Clover the manufacturer of the toys of the series imposed a different more super robot design for the meach piloted by the main character.
I love IBO. The "controversial" thing about it was probably just a knee jerk reaction from old fans of the show who expected a traditional gundam story. Now in 2022, i know a lot of people love IBO. Its more realistic approach is also greatly appreciated, i see more and more people lean into the likes of ms 08 team instead of hyper-devastating gundams like in 00 or wing (but let's face it wing have the nostalgia ace up its sleeves). Thankfully it looks like sunrise is taking a note, can be seen in their more realistic approach on Hathaway.
You can see the IBO influence in witch from Mercury with how even though they have bean weapons they aren't the ship destroying superweapons in other series.
I think a lot of people were let down by how the plot of season 2 developted. There is also the fact the Calamity War was not explored! Imagine a War raging between Humanity and Artificial Intelligence, Gundams Vs Mobile Armors. It would have been a great time seeing these titanic Battles.
I feel its really important to look at the evolution of the Zaku and enemy Mecha as well it was always the counter point to the Gundam designs and it's evolution followed that of the Gundam as well. Also the RUclips CC writes condom every time you say Gundam.
i may be biased, but people who complained about IBO designs not being "GUNDAM" enough completely missed the point if IBO theyre demons, and as the series moved forward, they needed to be less and less human to reflect the chase for more power. imo the decline of morality and eventual rejection of humanity comes form tekkadan's moral center's death, Biscuit. since then they became more brutal, and even though they reach their goal by the end of season 1, the whole second season is Orga reaching for more and more and that mistake is reflected in Mika's body becoming less and less....uh, working, outside of the barbie, as well as the barbie itself becoming more and more beastlike.
One thing I noticed is that you have not mentioned and maybe forgot Gundam X, other then that this was an amazing and interesting video. I learned quite a bit.
One does not simply, remember every Gundam there is (including the enemy)...😅 Well, one of the things that i forget after watching G Gundam, that there is a kangaroo Gundam, from Neo Australia. Although i remember about thta Tequila Gundam and Nether Gundam.
Gundam doesnt have much influence over Power Rangers tho. Particularly not the first ones, which seem to follow more the concepts of Golion or Getter Robo, being combinable Super Robots and all.
@@hypnoticrobotgaming ....Both Super Sentai and Kamen Rider predates Gundam doe (1975 and 1971 respectively). Not to mention that they are completely different genres with no resemblance in design nor themes, so calling them a rip off is little more than a stretch.
The exia had the silhouette of a woman ... just look at it it literally has an hourglass shape. Still it’s one of my top 3 gundams and it’s in my top 5 of my top favorite mobile suits.
This is mostly for Universal Century and Cosmic Era because Seed is supposed to be a reboot of UC. In some other shows, its either a relic of the past era or a top of the line weapons, altho in UC the Earth Federations turn heavily customed units into Gundams or Gundam-like suits (Theta Plus, Sinanju, Striker Custom, Blue Destiny etc) to strike fear into Zeon since ever since the first war that twin horned rainbow colored sonovabich has been wrecking ships left and right
Jumped straight from F91 to G? Victory and V2 had very radical changes imo. Also, G did the multiple diverse looking Gundams thing first, Wing was a development of that trend (and this continues through to Cosmic Era and Anno Domini series).
There are quite a few mistakes in this video, the RX78 design wasn't original at all, and it was on purpose, Bandai told Sunrise to make the main mecha as most similar as possible to the average super robot of the time, just look at Voltes V, Zambot 3, Baldios, and even Optimus Prime, that was the trend at the time. Okawara didn't do much for the RX78 design, but he was free to do whatever he wanted with the designs of villain mechs, that's why the Zaku is so original.
@@SoulcastProductions also 7th "main Gundam", since there were 4(with 0083 having 2 MGundams) series before Zeta and another main Gundam in its own series.
i enjoyed iron blooded orphens, in a way the show did things backwards, the endng of the first story takes place on earth where IBO was in space and the ending of the second arc takes place in space where IBO was on mars
Right I also noticed that unlike other Gundam series where the protagonists or Gundam Meisters at the beginning of the series try to force a change in their circumstances and eventually learn that change can only happen with time and become noble heroes by the end of the series. This series does the opposite instead you have Tekkadan which starts out as a just organization seen as knights protecting their princess Kudelia then they slowly lose that reputation over time hence why the end is the way it is.
00 is prob the most "weird" design for it's time What i mean is that comparing the 00 suits to the other mobile suits before 00 has a really diffrent feel to it
The edges and curved line that the 00 suits (at least until S2 goes for more blocky looks, like the Cherudim) makes it look more futuristic which is the aesthetic that they are going for. It's no wonder why "looks" wise they're very different than most others, ecxept probably IBO suits
As far as i'm concerned, they did what the writers of seed and seed destiny did best, they recycled. They needed a new "main robot" (emphasis on the "") so they took the perfect strike gundam, repainted it, added iron man repulseors on the palms, (at least that's how there're SUPPOSED to be used!) Gave it wing instead of a backpack which don't even function like actual wings, gave it a new "edgier" face design that lacked the mouth vents and decided to call it a day.
@@ewancook351 the astray mangas had the destiny impulse(impulse but with destiny wings). zaft wanted another ms that is dedicated to using the new backpack so they went and made the destiny.
Barbatos design is heavily inspired by GBWC entries were builders re-imagine gundam with edgy and more mechanical looks. go search of winning entries around or before that year
@@HighGuarder correct but mouth-breathers re stupid so they enjoy double~redundant conjunction to cover their uncertainty~confusion. They can't see that classic already means "of class," in that it(class) means reliable~tasteful + age .
I've been getting into Gundam myself lately (dragged feetfirst into it, really...), and I started with the original series. It definitely started off slow, but my god has it been satisfying to see it through. From the very beginning, Gundam was never just about flashy robots, and I really appreciate that even if I do find myself posing gunpla for like half an hour at a time lmao
Its strange that while Turn A headpiece does not look like a Gundam at a glance I can tell its a Gundam. Not from the anime but from holding the toy in my hand my first thoughts was this is definitely a Gundam.
I will admit, Reconquista of G is one of my favorite Gundam Series because of the Gundam Design. I just love how smooth, curved and pretty the G-Self looks. There's been a lot of Gundam-Type mobile suits that i really liked despite them not keeping key parts of the iconic design. such as the Nobel Gundam or Noble Gundam from Mobile Fighter G. It's actually a fan favorite from what i understand, it looks like Sailor Moon, that's all there is too, it's cool and i really like the far more feminine design. Overall i've always been a fan of the Feminine looking Mobile Suits(IE: Curvier, Smaller, Less Bulky) such as the Nobel Gundam, G-Self, Exia(Best Girl), the list goes on and expands A LOT with the Build Fighter's and Build Diver's series. To help inform people of Build Fighter's and Build Diver's, i highly suggest it to those that have watched all of the far more serious Gundam Series. They're both really fun, include a lot more gags and joke's not common in the other series and overall i kind of see them as a love letter to Gundam Fan's. There's so much fan service in them(No not the kind where the girls strip naked for no reason) that every single episode of each, especially when seeing a new Gunpla, you can tell what the Gunpla is based on and as a person who collects them and builds customs myself, i just love it and i love that Bandai and Sunrise have given us something so lighthearted and fun to watch.
I wonder next year gundam story 2021 adaptation gundam walpurgis, moon gundam, gundam 0081, gundam 0094 across of sky, gundam f90 fastest formula or gundam burai.
I definitely hope for all of those titles to be adapted as well. An adaptation of Gundam Walpurgis would be awesome. However, the upcoming Moon Gundam one (as teased at the end of the U.C Chronicles short) is pure hype.
For myself, my first introduction to Gundam was what I'd call "the three eights": 0080, 0083, and 08th MS Team. Those OVAs were so powerful for me, they really did shape my outlook about what UC Gundam "ought" to look like and feel like. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate the Tomino inspired UC, or Unicorn, or Hathaway. They are beautiful in their own rights, and I enjoy them as well. But the newtype heavy cosmo-magic wasn't as satisfying to me as the gritty realism and the maturity found in something like MS IgLoo, or Thunderbolt.
Binging your videos! Thank you for a great one to go through the Gundam designs in the franchise in a great package. Was hoping to see Gundam Ez8 from my favourite Gundam series 08th MS Team~ Gonna share this lekker video to my GUNPLA South Africa community! ;)
The designs of Iron Blooded Orphans always resonated with me. I think it has something to do with the fact that the Gundam frames have a “feminine” twist to them as opposed to the other series’ design aesthetics. The Gundam frames in Iron Blooded Orphans are very unique. The slim and questionably vulnerable waists, the emphasis on the legs, feet with heels, sharper designs, and demon motif of the mobile suits has a subtle appeal, at least to me. The blocky design of the other series never really grabbed me in all honesty, with the exception of 00’s, which feels like a middle ground between IBO and the original Mobile Suit Gundam
I'll be honest I started with seed and 00 and when I went to IBO I wasn't upset at the designs at all in fact their one of my favorite and has sense then became my favorite series
As a kid I started with seed and went on to watch 00 and Unicorn and got into some of the media for the older ones, when I first saw IBO tbh I was a bit weirded out with the frame design but I guess it grew on me
To me, I always believed Gundam’s were samurai robots because they looked like polygonal samurai armor and the way Gundams carry their beam sabers behind their back to be used like ninjas and how they draw their beam sabers by their sides, as if they were drawing a katana sword, always gave it a samurai look and feel to them in my opinion 😁
Definitely explains the crested headgear. During one scene in Mobile Fighter G Gundam the mc and his enemy were shown to personify their respective gundams. It went from their faces with the helmet section, adding on the mouth guard and finally the eyes till the heads were back to normal. During that process it smack me in the face with how obvious the gundam heads were reminiscent of samurai helmets and mouthguards.
F91and Vgundam designs became small because Plastic became expensive back then. Bandai execs wanted smaller more affordable products in the early 90s :D
Barbatos Lupus Rex..... An unique Design that Loved by milion, yet also Hated (Or even Abhorred) by billion. The Community treats the series, Especially the Barbatos itself like it's a Catasthropic doom of gundam series, which is quite sad.
after main UC story gundams evolved according to its surrounding G: is a mechafied dragonball wing: people digs fantasy that time so feather and bat like wings are just there seed: try to modernized the design Unicorn: to bring back Old fans Age: For all ages (doesnt live up) ibo: year before in Gunpla contest, those no waist armor is a thing and sexy . after that we were surprised the next gundam has no waist armor
Dude awesome video! I hope you do more design themed videos, but I mostly hope you continue to make content in general! I'm gonna share this around hopefully get you some more subs c:
Haha yes, the video is in english but since I'm not american, other people thought that I was going to speak in another language. Hope you liked the video!
This will be the most divisive way I'll say here on RUclips, and I'm not taking it back. People who say IBO Gundams don't look like Gundams are either not true Gundam fans, or are more blind than I am(and boy am I fucking blind, I can't see the words on a street-sign from across the street, even with my glasses).
Great video, but you skipped Ez8 from 08th MS Team. That is probably the least Gundam looking Gundam. Its look is justified in the show as it's basically a field patch job, but the only classic Gundam design it keeps is the mouth vents and eyes. Regardless, this was still a very comprehensive look at the design over the years.
False, structural elements are block system of RX 78 v.s RX 178's integrates skeletal system that better mimics human anatomy to facilitate less use of material while boosting agility, flexibility and speed. MKII is the acrobatic, lighter yet slightly bulky looking and lower grade armor variant of Gundam.

I love how the Barbatos got more "feral" in Iron Blooded Orphans as the series went on.

Binging your videos! Thank you for a great one to go through the Gundam designs in the franchise in a great package. Was hoping to see Gundam Ez8 from my favourite Gundam series 08th MS Team~
Gonna share this lekker video to my GUNPLA South Africa community! ;)
What makes the Gundams so special is the head, face, & whatever weapons it uses.
"Although, chronologically in the series, you can say it's the third."
Eeeehhhh... depends on what you mean by chronologically...
The Impulse functioned more like the Victory Gundam in modular application. V2 is evoked by Destiny with the Wings of Light.
Great video, I've been a fan for a long time and I still learned a bunch.
The designs of Iron Blooded Orphans always resonated with me. I think it has something to do with the fact that the Gundam frames have a “feminine” twist to them as opposed to the other series’ design aesthetics.
The Gundam frames in Iron Blooded Orphans are very unique. The slim and questionably vulnerable waists, the emphasis on the legs, feet with heels, sharper designs, and demon motif of the mobile suits has a subtle appeal, at least to me. The blocky design of the other series never really grabbed me in all honesty, with the exception of 00’s, which feels like a middle ground between IBO and the original Mobile Suit Gundam
Demon like
Gundam Barbatos will always be My Number one Favorite Gundam because it is REALLY Cool
Dude it was very cool, You did a long research lol thank for the video keep it up I would like to see more videos...
Thank You... I'll try to release more videos soon!
@@absa yo u forgot victory,8th ms team, war in the pocket, and gundam x, could u make a follow up vid or smth?
Darn you didn't talk about God gundam thats my all time fav. Great video all around
I had to stop when he said the Mark. II was identical to the RX-78 exept for the colour pallate.
Like, where to even start?
Pense que tambien hablarias del Gundam Atlas Chalo, éxito en el nuevo proyecto
I'll be honest I started with seed and 00 and when I went to IBO I wasn't upset at the designs at all in fact their one of my favorite and has sense then became my favorite series
As a kid I started with seed and went on to watch 00 and Unicorn and got into some of the media for the older ones, when I first saw IBO tbh I was a bit weirded out with the frame design but I guess it grew on me
GUNDAM WING Endless Waltz was my first experience with GUNDAM. I loved the Heavy GUNDAM with tons of chain guns the most.
Heavy Arms?
the unicorn gundam actually has 3 humanoid modes, normal, destroy, and awakened
To me, I always believed Gundam’s were samurai robots because they looked like polygonal samurai armor and the way Gundams carry their beam sabers behind their back to be used like ninjas and how they draw their beam sabers by their sides, as if they were drawing a katana sword, always gave it a samurai look and feel to them in my opinion 😁
Definitely explains the crested headgear. During one scene in Mobile Fighter G Gundam the mc and his enemy were shown to personify their respective gundams. It went from their faces with the helmet section, adding on the mouth guard and finally the eyes till the heads were back to normal. During that process it smack me in the face with how obvious the gundam heads were reminiscent of samurai helmets and mouthguards.
Thats because they are samurai robots. (Im not joking). They used samurai armor as inspiration for the gundam design during the show's development
Gundam barbatoes is the best design of all the mobile suit, but the ending was sad
F91and Vgundam designs became small because Plastic became expensive back then. Bandai execs wanted smaller more affordable products in the early 90s :D
He talked about every main Gundam except for the Victory/V2, X/Double X & Stargazer.
"Machine Guns everywhere".
Gotta love Heavy Arms
Great video, you have gained a new suscriber!
From where is the NU Gundam scene taken from which comes at 00:31 ?
It's from 30th gundam perfect mission. It's just a short 2:minute animation
Barbatos Lupus Rex..... An unique Design that Loved by milion, yet also Hated (Or even Abhorred) by billion.
The Community treats the series, Especially the Barbatos itself like it's a Catasthropic doom of gundam series, which is quite sad.
after main UC story gundams evolved according to its surrounding
G: is a mechafied dragonball
wing: people digs fantasy that time so feather and bat like wings are just there
seed: try to modernized the design
Unicorn: to bring back Old fans
Age: For all ages (doesnt live up)
ibo: year before in Gunpla contest, those no waist armor is a thing and sexy . after that we were surprised the next gundam has no waist armor
True
Happy to see you enjoy gundam as a whole.
Doesnt matter what video i will rewind the Unicorn part several times coz damn that horse is BEAUTIFUL
LOOK AT IT ALL OPEN UP AND GLOWY
What is the more realistic animation that showcases ones like the G-self, Unicorn, Turn A and 00 Gundam? Any links to that video??
New in your channel nice video I m only have one year with gundam and I feel in love with the series and with the gundam kits
Very well presented video. Gundam has sure come a long way regarding its designs.
Yeah, the franchise has evolved a lot since its early days. Looking forward for the 40th anniversary projects.
Dude awesome video! I hope you do more design themed videos, but I mostly hope you continue to make content in general! I'm gonna share this around hopefully get you some more subs c:
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your words. And yeah, I'll try my best to continue to upload anime and comic videos. Talk to you soon!
Gundam Wing was my initiation to the series, than 00........ Nice video, man.
I enjoyed myself thoroughly with this video!
champion of thickness🤣 20:31
Thank you for speaking English. When I saw the comments section I was worried I wouldn't be able to watch lol
Haha yes, the video is in english but since I'm not american, other people thought that I was going to speak in another language. Hope you liked the video!
Same
Ofcourse the design of barbatos is a bit alien like its supposed to be a demon like its literally named after one
Iron Bloodes Orphans felt very very Armored Core - and I’m perfectly ok with that!
I somewhat suspect that these Robots look similar in design to Samurai armors.
I still like the classic rx78 design, in cucuruz doans island recently towards the end it looked downright menacing and it was glorious
Good review dude.
8:42 Isn't the Zeta technically the fourth gundam, seeing as the both the Gundam Ground Type and the Gundam Mk II precede it?
the champion of thickness got me
Barbatos Lupus Rex and The Gremory model are one of my favorite designs but there are so many other good model designs gundam or non gundams.
How about the GP-O2 which was designed primarily to deliver a nuke?
Started with gundam wing and fell in love with series and started building them with model kits
This will be the most divisive way I'll say here on RUclips, and I'm not taking it back.
People who say IBO Gundams don't look like Gundams are either not true Gundam fans, or are more blind than I am(and boy am I fucking blind, I can't see the words on a street-sign from across the street, even with my glasses).
Excellent overview, thank you.
Good job on explaining those. Thanks
Great video, but you skipped Ez8 from 08th MS Team. That is probably the least Gundam looking Gundam.
Its look is justified in the show as it's basically a field patch job, but the only classic Gundam design it keeps is the mouth vents and eyes.
Regardless, this was still a very comprehensive look at the design over the years.
The mustache gundam the turn a looks a lot less gundam them the ez8
I get why you didn’t include the Build series though you may have needed to mention the Beginning Gundam from the OAV.
No one cares about Gunpla Builders
Woah theres still comments from 2 weeks ago
Gundam fans never get tired of robots huh
Damn you really didn't mention the Vidar, that one just looked like a armored core mech
Good job on the video 👍
So victory gundam isn't a thing?
Syd Mead R.I.P.
Prettiest curves of all Gundams.

ABSA this is nice video!
Nice vid man
0:08 Dayum dat Dendrobium is *T H I C C*
I know you didn't just say the mk II is just a color swap of the rx-78, while showing the titans version of the mk II
False, structural elements are block system of RX 78 v.s RX 178's integrates skeletal system that better mimics human anatomy to facilitate less use of material while boosting agility, flexibility and speed.
MKII is the acrobatic, lighter yet slightly bulky looking and lower grade armor variant of Gundam.
@@linyenchin6773 thanks for proving my point that the mk II is not just a recolor
Haters can hate but barbatos is the most beautiful and elegant gundam
