This is such a remarkable deconstruction of the Origin. I especially loved how you pointed out the parallelsto real life history. I never noticed that before, and I've seen the Origin a dozen times!
The "correct" way to experience the Gundam series as a whole would have been the production order, especially the U.C. timeline, The Origin assumes you are familiar with the characters as it adapats a flashback happening in the middle of the manga run, changes a bunch of stuff as well
It's always pleasing to see an anime fan who can finally move forward from Evangelion/Code Geass/Gurren Lagann as the only mecha shows that they watched. But kudos to you for watching Macross Plus before this. Gundam is a great franchise. Even with their own occasional valleys & misssteps, majority of the Gundam anime entries are still ranging from decent to masterpieces. So I will see your journey with great interest.
Also, Macross Plus is goated. It’s not only one of my favorite mecha related media I have seen but it also is one of my favorite anime OVAs of all time. It’s crazy the dream team they put together to make that
While Tomino Yoshiyuki definitely deserves credit for Gundam (and many other mecha series), a lot of credits for Origin OVA should go to Yasuhiko Yoshikasu a very prolific manga artist that did character designs for original Gundam & many other series. He started writing MS Gundam: The Origin manga in 2001 that retell the story of the entire 1st Gundam while also added a LOT of details and nuances to it. The OVAs were the adaptation of parts of the manga that's not from the original series that's focuses on Char. Oh, he also one of the directors of the OVAs himself. I'd even say that, personally, MSG Origin manga is my preferable version of the 1st Gundam story.
The gundam was treated with such importance because it was the basis for the Federations mobile suit program. Everything the Federation had learned about MS was funneled into the gundam project and it in turn enabled the EF to mass produce Mobile suits of their own. Now while the gundam was an incredibly advanced and powerfull mobile suit thanks to its beam weaponry, I wouldnt say that the gundam was treated like the atom-bomb. The EF never believed that a single Mobile suit no matter how advanced would decide the outcome of the war. However it was used, quite successfully, as a diversion that cost Zeon many of its best pilots and drew attention away from the EFs planning of the famous massive counter offensive at odessa and the fact that they had began to massproduce their own Mobile suits.. Zeon was so blinded by the Gundam and the white base that they didnt realize that the EF was lifting a giant club over its head to bash Zeons skull in.
@@jumpreport Mind you the basic series mainly focuses on the journey of the white base and the hardships its crew faces, only scratching the surface of the machinations of the OYW. The story gets fleshed out alot more in side stories like the 8th MS team and war in the pocket, and even in stories that follow the OYW like Stardust memory that give a much wider picture of the factions involved in the war, their motivations and the fact that the EF is just as bad as Zeon.
@@user-do5zk6jh1k Actually it was. The atom bombs where specifically used in japan to bring the war to a swift and conclusive end to prevent the meatgrinder that the island hopping and attack on japan would have turned into.
Despite what some comments say, this OVA has never been officially stated as non-canon or an alternate universe. Instead of having people trying to police you with their own headcanons, here’s an actual official statement on how Sunrise views “canon”. This is an excerpt from an interview with the main producer at Sunrise who oversees all of Gundam, Naohiro Ogata "Well, it’s been over 40 years since that first series, and even just looking at the Universal Century timeline, not everything necessarily fits neatly together. I mean, the original TV series and the movie trilogy have their inconsistencies, and the sequels don’t always line up perfectly, either. So, while we do try to keep a coherent big picture in mind, at the end of the day, each individual project has to stand on its own merits." And "I get that for a lot of fans, the animated version is “official history,” but we as creators don’t box ourselves into “this is the official history” or “this is a parallel story.” There’s always room for a director or designer to put their own spin on the source material. Hopefully, fans will appreciate and enjoy those fresh interpretations." Source: GUIDING GUNDAM INTO THE FUTURE 2023 | Zeonic Scanalations
Stop lying. Origins isn't canon as doan's island has slegger join the crew in Greece where in gundam he joins at jaburo. Then you have the guntank, guncannon, and gundam are all sister units that were made together. In Origins however the guntank is old by the time char is a kid and guncannons are around before project V even starts
@@angellara7040 list your source that explicitly states the ORIGIN anime as Alt UC. I’m ready to be proven wrong if you have the source that backs your claim.
@@angellara7040 When exactly does the 1979 show stop and states ORIGIN, an anime from 2016, as not canon. Let me know the exact episode so that I can rewatch it and see if what you say is true
@@NeedSitRep the fact that the mobile suits have explicitly different back stories should be a give away. Explain how the guntank in the original is both brand new and nearly 30 years old at the same time
Origin is so freaking dope. I’m loving this shorter form gundam where the series are the length of movies. Like Thunderbolt. Too old to be watching 50 episodes anymore.
@@jumpreport fun fact about that, Kojima is fan of Gundam and the entire Metal Gear series are full of reference to the anime, even one the Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memories was one the inspiration for the themes of the franchise
@@samuelgarcia-fo4yn I can see that, especially since his other works have mecha featured in them (ZOE, DS and Snatcher (that one is moreso a metal gear reference but still a mech)
@@samuelgarcia-fo4yn Honestly it would be sick if Kojima was contracted to make an original story in the Gundam universe that had the emotional weight of a game like MGS3 or MGS4
"While Gundam doesn't really focus on the psychological trauma that might arise from having a high schooler pilot a mech..." I mean, its not the FOCUS, but there are a lot of moments like early on Amuro getting PTSD during the Ramba Ral arc and going from not wanting to shoot people to killing like a deranged mad man (the episode where he reunites with his Mom and she basically disowns him) and of course the death of Lalah.. And then in the direct sequel Zeta Gundam how the war has traumatized him so much he's scared to even get into a cockpit of a Mobile Suit- or go into space in fear of seeing Lalah's ghost. Yeah Evangelion goes more in-depth with it, but Amuro definitely comes out of the war pretty scarred.
to be fair, everything is a "product" commercial, everything needs money to be made, with mechas it's just easier and cooler to produce a toy, and it's nice to have a model of one of your favorite characters, so it's a win-win
Almost everyone has the same notion about gundam until they watch it. I had similar notions too, until i eatched witch from mercury when it came out. Then i dug a hole myself and starting watching more and more gundam (and getting more and more gunpla 😅)
Liked and subbed I will join you in this gundam journey gladly I can't find any gundam tubers (in English at least) that really cover the technology and history of the setting. The O'Neil Cylinder is pretty self explanatory through visuals, but the fact that they exist in a fusion based energy economy is kind of a big deal. That's why people live at Jupiter. Don't skip the OVAs, the ones that aren't necessary are so good that they may as well be. Stick with UC at first to get your bearings and understand the tropes/patterns; it enriches the experience. Happy watching!
This was a fantastic video. It’s great getting to hear what newcomers think about this fantastic franchise. I would love to see you review the rest of the Universal Century, Zeta is one of my all time favorite tv shows. Many of the alternate universes are also worth checking out, like G Gundam, X, 00, and IBO, though I would avoid SEED/Witch From Mercury.
I think WFM was pretty good, but yeah it does not really have the same appeal as something like The Origin. But yeah Gundam Seed is the worst Gundam I've seen.
@@jumpreport Both SEED and SEED DESTINY have so much potential that is just wasted with terrible writing. It has an absolutely fantastic soundtrack however. Some of my all time favorite osts and eds are from it.
Rn I don't notice any drastic changes but I will keep it in mind. As evident by the video, I am a MGS fan so I am used to characters having drastic changes due to decades worth of lore existing lol
Awesome retrospective and I agree with many of your points here, I hope you make more videos on the rest of the franchise, UC Gundam at least. While it's absolutely an extended toy commercial as far as the IP owners are concerned, and even the toy companies that originally backed it, there's no getting away from the fact that Tomino wanted to create something that was far more than just that, and I think it shows.
@@jumpreport It's a Drukhari Incubus from 40K, this is the full picture: static.wikia.nocookie.net/thedarkcity/images/9/9e/Dark_eldar_imcubi_by_beckjann-d3ap42q.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/600?cb=20130117024509
I think "Eva deconstructed giant robot shows" holds more water if you qualify it with "giant robot vs kaiju shows." But overall I agree with that point.
If you do decide to check out any of the alternate universes down the line, I'd rate Turn A as the most unique, in terms of taking the gundam concept and doing something interesting and new with it.
I noticed you make the common mistake of assuming there are good guys and bad guys, as normally is in anime when it's really a scale of grays, with Char as the main antagonist of MSG, but don't worry about it, you'll notice it as you watch. Also the "NGE is a deconstruction of the mecha genre" still one of the funniest jokes Eva fans believe as real, when it's the opposite
its actually explained by Revil thag regardless of who took the life of Zeon be it Degwin or the Federation, the war was inevitable and Degwin had every right to take over considering he is literally his right hand man, whoever poisoned him even if he was alive Zeon would have declared autonomy and subsequently declared war against Earth in fact his speech was a preamble to a war declaration meaning no matter what Casval or whoever was the remaining member of Deikuns family was fated to take over Zeon, the path to becoming Char is inevitable, in fact Degwin did Zeon a favor by at least postponing the war and during the start of the war on loum he negotiated a ceasefire with Revil and the federation but Revil was so much of a chad that instead of taking the surrender in peace he went to the Antarctic treaty to officially declare war against Zeon, man literally said there are no old people in Zeon(meaning most of the soldiers are young and inexperienced, ultimately deeming them ineffective compared to the Federation that has both old and young people working for them, mostly old people in fact in a lot of depictions of gundam during the OYW most of the mechanics were old and the higher ranking officers were old meanwhile zeon had more younger leaders) basically saying that their chances of winning were better and he was right, what he probably didnt know is that zeon will keep coming back as long as there are oppressed spacenoids and thats how the main gundam timeline was so long, because Revil went ballistic and opted for conflict I mean he probably had his justifications but I dont know if its a better fate than surrendering to zeons demands, its not like they was asking for the entire Earth they just wanted to stop the war and stop the federation from controlling space.
The reason why non-gundam fans don't consider Char as a great character compared to Griffith and Johan is because Char took so many Ls throughout his career.
Well... Char not having powers is debatable. He is a Newtype after all. Also don't forget to watch the Keroro Gunso anime since it's heavily linked to Gundam. Also it's very funny 😉
I wouldn't really recommend The Origin as a first show since it spoils the original series. I'd say the 79 series is a better start but I can see why people may begin with The Origin.
From what I've seen the Gundam original anime wasn't ultimately successful up until they released the various toys. So you could say they were the commercial for the Anime. Before that it was actually much more popular with women from what ive heard at least. Its also important to note how much engineering is involved with the model kits they are so well made very few companies create kits of the same quality, I may be biased though as I am a massive Gundam nerd. PS I will be eagerly waiting for your future uploads :)
@@jumpreport Don't let SEED haters cloud your judgement. Enjoy it with an open mind. After all, Gundam SEED was the title that saved the Gundam franchise from a deep slump & irrelevance in the late 90s & early 2000s. Gundam SEED also revived the Mecha genre in general in the 2000s.
Fun Fact: The Origin is in it’s own timeline (as Thunderbolt is it is own continuity) Since you started the original series (hopefully with the compedium movies) remember that if something doesn’t adds up is because they are in different continuity
Aside from some character personality changes, nothing in the Origin anime clashes with lore established by the original series. More or less the same goes for the animated part of Thunderbolt. Sunrise usually seem to run with the thought process that if it’s animated and under the UC monicker, it’s canon, even down to animation shorts from UC Engage cementing shortstories as lore
@@Herr_Gamer The Origin actually changed the general origin of Mobile Suits that happened in the OG lore. And no, the EF shouldn't have any form of Guntank that early during Munzo turmoil. Also, they changed the origin of Haro from something that Amuro created from scratch in the OG, to an established toy product in Origin. Another also, Kai was supposed to be a coward in the early OG show, not a rebelious conspiracy theorist like in the Origin.
I could see how someone could find it boring but idk man I love historical/war dramas and this anime scratches that itch for me. It’s very refreshing to see a more modern anime take a slower approach like this too
@@jumpreport hope to see you keep watching gundam, one that will really hit the spor for you will be gundam Thunderbolt, going deeper into moral conflict and the ethics of war, while also having some good characters and big robot going pew pew
It's true with all Scifi Epics isn't it? Look at Star Wars. Lucas introduced multiple new ships, new trooper variations, heck even the main characters saw completely redesigns between each film. Stormtroopers became Snowtroopers, then became Scout Troopers. Tiefighter saw Tie Bomber by 2nd film, then Tie Interceptor by the 3rd. X-Wing gave way to the Snow Speeder, then the A-Wing and B-Wing. Even Rebel Troopers got a new coat of paint in each film. I mean you think it was just Diseny doing it? George was doing it from the start. As the wise Yogurt said. "Merchandising Merchandising Merchandising!" Gundam is no different.
just wanted to inform you that technically speaking, gundam the origin is not in chronological order in the gundam story as gundam the origin is actually a separate parallel timeline of the one year war, and not actually reflective of the actual story of gundam. the story itself does follow the plot and story of the gundam 0079, but they are not 1 to 1. Though i would wish they would have the Origin anime follow into the one year war like it does in the manga just so we can have a soft remake of the original gundam
Origin sure does has a lot of interesting and upgraded visual, but narratively they downplay plenty of key factors in the story >making the Federation had suits earlier in the war (despite being absolutely awful completely washed down the importance of project V) >making the escape of Revil as elaborate plan by Zabi instead of Fed spec ops downplaying their role >making Gundam as Aneheim product instead of Federation in house production
Good video, I appreciate creators that actually provide analysis rather than just recap the events of the story. I do think you could have spent more time on analyzing, but maybe thats just my bias towards long form. I will definitely be keeping eyes on your journey
There is some truth to the toys commercial, the original Gundam had a very low animation budge and if I am correct Yoshiyuki the director ended up hospital for a good deal of the show from overwork. So the original anime was hit and miss and it was the toy sales that got the series off the ground. Of course the story and world building was good in the series and its clear like you pointed out the Yoshiyuki put a lot of thought into the series themes especially when it came to showing war and what the characters went through. The Gundam that followed the original had a much better budge and then animation and continue the trend of really show casing the theme of war.
The one who got hospitalized mid-working was Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (lead animator & character designer of Gundam), not Yoshiyuki Tomino (writer & creator of Gundam).
@@androyus Thanks for that correction I just knew someone got hospitalised, but couldn't find where I saw it and who, but yeah the animation suffered more cause of it especially when they were already working on a low budget.
Very interesting to hear from someone who hasn’t watched the original or Zeta. The Origin did have a lot of great model kits though, I could see fans of lesser Gundam series that primarily focus on the models being grumpy about it, especially since it’s “not canon”. Personally I thought it was great to see young *Ramba Ral* and all the ZEON prototype suits. Felt like a treat for fans of the original.
I'm begging you - please watch ZZ. Yeah the first 10 episodes are a bit goofy, but it truly is a nice change of pace coming straight from Zeta, and I swear to you, you'll enjoy Jadau and his journey.
One thing to note (though I’m sure someone has already noted it) is that Origin is technically a different timeline. The animated portion can be considered canon as it doesn’t clash with anything established by the original series aside from slight changes to character personalities. The Origin in it’s entirety is a manga retelling all of the first Gundam series with a more modern framing and streamlined pacing as well as notable changes. To make it easy, you are free to just take ecerything that is animated under the Universal Century monicker as canon as this is more or less how Bandai and Sunrise words it. Have fun on the journey and whatever you think of it, don’t skip Double Zeta when you get there. It’d be neat to hear your opinions on the original series, Zeta and beyond and perhaps how they may subvert your expectations. And just a little nitpick; Gundam seldom has villains. It has antagonists. That goes for Char, the Zabis and others beyond the first story
Everyone always talk about evengleon how it revolutionized mecha but conveniently never mentioned how much the creator took inspiration from things like gundam,ideon and most of ultra series
What I actually recommend to everyone trying to get into Gundam is that watch anything but the sequel and maybe the prequel. Some good AU Gundam shows are 00, G, and X (rushed ending tho). Maybe IBO and AGE too, but it's the more polarizing one in the fandom. Speaking of polarizing, if you love characters drama and willing to compromise some flaws in it's writing, go for SEED. I still think SEED is over hated.
Yeah a lot of people have been hyping up SEED as the worst in the series but I’m always curious to see how the black sheep of a series actually shapes up to be
Zabi, even in OG, was not as one dimensionally evil as you seem to suggest they are. Except Ghiren, he is just evil and his evil made him dumb and die. And he was not even slightly more sympathetic in the origin either.
The reason why Gundam the Origin has lack of mecha fights is because Mobile Suits are brand new concept and they're still in test development stage before Zaku I was made. meanwhile the Earth Federation's first mobile suit is just an oversized tank known as Prototype Guntank. If you wanna watch the Gundam franchise then please stick with Universal Century timeline only because alternate universe are just fake alternate timelines that has no connection to Universal Century and their technology makes no sense, but the only exception is Turn A Gundam because it was set many thousand years later after Universal Century ended.
The Origin was born as a manga from wich Bandai doesn't make model kits. The model kits they made from The Origin Is only from the small part of the manga they adapted in animation. So no, it's not a glorified toy commercial because the goal of the manga is to retell the classical first animation series with more focus on realism (the authors of the manga worked on the original series too).
The originis its own continuity, wherein thr Guntank is old, and the Guncannon is a piece of junk made by small minded fools not taking their job seriously. It is an adaptation of a manga that serves as a retelling of the original series with various differences. The only other animated thing in the same timeline as the Origin is the Doan's Islamd movie.
@@jumpreport If you've started the original MSG, you'll definitely see that Char still has his motives and plans, but a 15 year old in a super mech kicked his ass and he took that personal.
I’ve seen some of the beginning of MSG and saw that lol. It is pretty cool that the anime writes Amuro beating Char the first time around as a fluke and how good his gundam is rather than pure skills. Something you see anime not do nowadays
Good retrospective, though like many others have said in the comments, you probably shouldn't have watched The Origin before the original and blah-blah-blah
I'm in the minority, but I'm 99% sure he didn't kill Deikun. Every piece of media shows him as appearing fairly shocked at Deikun's death. Especially Origin. Unless he's acting shocked (which, let's face it, anime is usually unsubtle about these things - the show goes out of its way to highlight Kycilia's involvement in Sasro's death), it's reasonable to assume he wasn't Deikun's killer. On top of that, he does seem to genuinely believe in Deikun's cause. On top of it, Degwin's ascension actually _prevented_ war, or at least delayed it for about a decade.
The Origin is not the start of the series. It's part of an alternate universe that has absolutely no bareing on the rest of the franchise at all and is officially recognized by Bandai and Sunrise as non-canon. Stop spreading misinformation.
The manga is alt UC, not the anime. Sunrise has never stated the ORIGIN anime as an alternate timeline. The creator of the Manga and director of the OVA intended the anime adaptation to be a pre-history to the original and his manga. Whenever Sunrise acknowledges the OVA, they push it as being canon or just plain Universal Century.
@@NeedSitRep Origin retroactively turns Char into an infinitely competent superhuman and reduces everyone else to a flat caricature. The anime OVA picks and chooses which part of The Origin it adapts and gives people a warped perspective on the events prior to the OYW which simply CAN'T happen in the original timeline. If the OVA was a full recreation of the full manga, it would be more obvious to people it's meant to be an alternate retelling but for some bizarre reason Bandai chose not to do that. The name is also bad "The Origin". It's not the origin of anything, it's fan fiction written by a graphic artist from Sunrise.
@@InfernoScorpion14 honestly, when they mentioned haro was a toy bought by tem ray for amuro is where my immersion breaks because according to lore, amuro is the one who create haro and also the reason why he is filthy rich in zeta
@@muhamadariefrahmanhakim9166 That is indeed one of the more frustrating things. Char is basically behind every single even in the Universal Century but Amuro isn't even allowed to make a toy?
Fun fact anno himself was personally looking forwards to gundam the origin's manga. Btw origins is a separate continuity that cant fit into the original anime and changes a lot. Kinda screw yourself
*Gloried toy commercial* that is so utterly insulting to the original Gundam show, that is leagues beyond anything coming out in this era, more than Evangelion. The West just had the unfortunate experience of not being exposed to Gundam properly.
I agree with the "not being exposed properly" part. I feel like Macross is in a similar boat with how its poor exposure hasn't helped its success in the West

Despite what some comments say, this OVA has never been officially stated as non-canon or an alternate universe.
Instead of having people trying to police you with their own headcanons, here’s an actual official statement on how Sunrise views “canon”.
This is an excerpt from an interview with the main producer at Sunrise who oversees all of Gundam, Naohiro Ogata
"Well, it’s been over 40 years since that first series, and even just looking at the Universal Century timeline, not everything necessarily fits neatly together. I mean, the original TV series and the movie trilogy have their inconsistencies, and the sequels don’t always line up perfectly, either. So, while we do try to keep a coherent big picture in mind, at the end of the day, each individual project has to stand on its own merits."

"I get that for a lot of fans, the animated version is “official history,” but we as creators don’t box ourselves into “this is the official history” or “this is a parallel story.” There’s always room for a director or designer to put their own spin on the source material. Hopefully, fans will appreciate and enjoy those fresh interpretations."

Stop lying. Origins isn't canon as doan's island has slegger join the crew in Greece where in gundam he joins at jaburo. Then you have the guntank, guncannon, and gundam are all sister units that were made together. In Origins however the guntank is old by the time char is a kid and guncannons are around before project V even starts
@@angellara7040 list your source that explicitly states the ORIGIN anime as Alt UC. I’m ready to be proven wrong if you have the source that backs your claim.
@@NeedSitRep its called the original anime. Guntank was brand new and was a product of the federation trying to catch up to zeon
@@angellara7040 When exactly does the 1979 show stop and states ORIGIN, an anime from 2016, as not canon. Let me know the exact episode so that I can rewatch it and see if what you say is true

Origin is so freaking dope. I’m loving this shorter form gundam where the series are the length of movies. Like Thunderbolt. Too old to be watching 50 episodes anymore.

The MGSV references earns you a like
You’re pretty good!
@@jumpreport fun fact about that, Kojima is fan of Gundam and the entire Metal Gear series are full of reference to the anime, even one the Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memories was one the inspiration for the themes of the franchise
@@samuelgarcia-fo4yn I can see that, especially since his other works have mecha featured in them (ZOE, DS and Snatcher (that one is moreso a metal gear reference but still a mech)
@@jumpreport Exactly, the Metal Gear Solid 1 even has Otakon mentioning the Minovsky Particles, Kojima the goat
@@samuelgarcia-fo4yn Honestly it would be sick if Kojima was contracted to make an original story in the Gundam universe that had the emotional weight of a game like MGS3 or MGS4
"While Gundam doesn't really focus on the psychological trauma that might arise from having a high schooler pilot a mech..."
I mean, its not the FOCUS, but there are a lot of moments like early on Amuro getting PTSD during the Ramba Ral arc and going from not wanting to shoot people to killing like a deranged mad man (the episode where he reunites with his Mom and she basically disowns him) and of course the death of Lalah..
And then in the direct sequel Zeta Gundam how the war has traumatized him so much he's scared to even get into a cockpit of a Mobile Suit- or go into space in fear of seeing Lalah's ghost.
Yeah Evangelion goes more in-depth with it, but Amuro definitely comes out of the war pretty scarred.
My buddy’s getting PTSD in the army w tanks n shit it’s wild
to be fair, everything is a "product" commercial, everything needs money to be made, with mechas it's just easier and cooler to produce a toy, and it's nice to have a model of one of your favorite characters, so it's a win-win
Wish they made a toy of you 🥺
@@jumpreport me too, I want a 1/100 figure of myself to put it next to my 1/100 Gundam
Almost everyone has the same notion about gundam until they watch it. I had similar notions too, until i eatched witch from mercury when it came out. Then i dug a hole myself and starting watching more and more gundam (and getting more and more gunpla 😅)
Liked and subbed
I will join you in this gundam journey gladly
I can't find any gundam tubers (in English at least) that really cover the technology and history of the setting. The O'Neil Cylinder is pretty self explanatory through visuals, but the fact that they exist in a fusion based energy economy is kind of a big deal. That's why people live at Jupiter.
Don't skip the OVAs, the ones that aren't necessary are so good that they may as well be.
Stick with UC at first to get your bearings and understand the tropes/patterns; it enriches the experience.
Happy watching!
Thank you! I’ll be sure to keep this all in mind!
This was a fantastic video. It’s great getting to hear what newcomers think about this fantastic franchise. I would love to see you review the rest of the Universal Century, Zeta is one of my all time favorite tv shows. Many of the alternate universes are also worth checking out, like G Gundam, X, 00, and IBO, though I would avoid SEED/Witch From Mercury.
I think WFM was pretty good, but yeah it does not really have the same appeal as something like The Origin. But yeah Gundam Seed is the worst Gundam I've seen.

The Origin is a little different from the base timeline, so don't be too weirded out if you see Char acting differently
Rn I don't notice any drastic changes but I will keep it in mind. As evident by the video, I am a MGS fan so I am used to characters having drastic changes due to decades worth of lore existing lol
Awesome retrospective and I agree with many of your points here, I hope you make more videos on the rest of the franchise, UC Gundam at least.
While it's absolutely an extended toy commercial as far as the IP owners are concerned, and even the toy companies that originally backed it, there's no getting away from the fact that Tomino wanted to create something that was far more than just that, and I think it shows.

Seconded.
I noticed you make the common mistake of assuming there are good guys and bad guys, as normally is in anime when it's really a scale of grays, with Char as the main antagonist of MSG, but don't worry about it, you'll notice it as you watch. Also the "NGE is a deconstruction of the mecha genre" still one of the funniest jokes Eva fans believe as real, when it's the opposite

Every Gundam Origin is personalized…
its actually explained by Revil thag regardless of who took the life of Zeon be it Degwin or the Federation, the war was inevitable and Degwin had every right to take over considering he is literally his right hand man, whoever poisoned him even if he was alive Zeon would have declared autonomy and subsequently declared war against Earth in fact his speech was a preamble to a war declaration meaning no matter what Casval or whoever was the remaining member of Deikuns family was fated to take over Zeon, the path to becoming Char is inevitable, in fact Degwin did Zeon a favor by at least postponing the war and during the start of the war on loum he negotiated a ceasefire with Revil and the federation but Revil was so much of a chad that instead of taking the surrender in peace he went to the Antarctic treaty to officially declare war against Zeon, man literally said there are no old people in Zeon(meaning most of the soldiers are young and inexperienced, ultimately deeming them ineffective compared to the Federation that has both old and young people working for them, mostly old people in fact in a lot of depictions of gundam during the OYW most of the mechanics were old and the higher ranking officers were old meanwhile zeon had more younger leaders) basically saying that their chances of winning were better and he was right, what he probably didnt know is that zeon will keep coming back as long as there are oppressed spacenoids and thats how the main gundam timeline was so long, because Revil went ballistic and opted for conflict I mean he probably had his justifications but I dont know if its a better fate than surrendering to zeons demands, its not like they was asking for the entire Earth they just wanted to stop the war and stop the federation from controlling space.
The reason why non-gundam fans don't consider Char as a great character compared to Griffith and Johan is because Char took so many Ls throughout his career.
True, Craig Jones has taken many L’s and he’s a bigger menace than all of them tho
I’m afraid to tell you but char indeed have a super power
Don’t be afraid, daddy won’t get too angry
Well... Char not having powers is debatable. He is a Newtype after all.
Also don't forget to watch the Keroro Gunso anime since it's heavily linked to Gundam. Also it's very funny 😉
lol will keep that in mind!
Quattro Bajeena, who is definitely not Char, once said “Char was a great Zeon pilot”
I wouldn't really recommend The Origin as a first show since it spoils the original series. I'd say the 79 series is a better start but I can see why people may begin with The Origin.
Yeah idk the article I was reading initially said to start there but whatever I’m back on track now
@@jumpreport Yeah some people recommend it just cuz it's a precuel
They are fools and they will pay for what they have done to me
Agreed, it will spoiled something
Watch everything the way it came out.
From what I've seen the Gundam original anime wasn't ultimately successful up until they released the various toys. So you could say they were the commercial for the Anime. Before that it was actually much more popular with women from what ive heard at least. Its also important to note how much engineering is involved with the model kits they are so well made very few companies create kits of the same quality, I may be biased though as I am a massive Gundam nerd. PS I will be eagerly waiting for your future uploads :)
As someone who saw all the gundam shows...good luck.
Ik I gotta lock in 😭
@@jumpreport All I'll say is ignore age and brace for seed and wing.
The ONLY thing ik about seed is the sick OP it has (ignited by TM Revolution) lol
@@jumpreport Don't let SEED haters cloud your judgement. Enjoy it with an open mind. After all, Gundam SEED was the title that saved the Gundam franchise from a deep slump & irrelevance in the late 90s & early 2000s. Gundam SEED also revived the Mecha genre in general in the 2000s.
Fun Fact: The Origin is in it’s own timeline (as Thunderbolt is it is own continuity)
Since you started the original series (hopefully with the compedium movies) remember that if something doesn’t adds up is because they are in different continuity
I will keep that in mind!
Yeah, Char from the original 79 - char's counter attack, feels soooo different to The Origin Char.
Aside from some character personality changes, nothing in the Origin anime clashes with lore established by the original series. More or less the same goes for the animated part of Thunderbolt. Sunrise usually seem to run with the thought process that if it’s animated and under the UC monicker, it’s canon, even down to animation shorts from UC Engage cementing shortstories as lore
@@Herr_Gamer The Origin actually changed the general origin of Mobile Suits that happened in the OG lore. And no, the EF shouldn't have any form of Guntank that early during Munzo turmoil.
Also, they changed the origin of Haro from something that Amuro created from scratch in the OG, to an established toy product in Origin.
Another also, Kai was supposed to be a coward in the early OG show, not a rebelious conspiracy theorist like in the Origin.
@@androyus Haro being a pre-existing toy modified by Amuro was a lore explanation that predates ORIGIN, it wasn’t the one to create it.

Gundam is what made the real robot sub genre popular as opposed to the already popular super robot subgenre.
Yeah I want to talk about that in my retrospective of the original series
Rather than that, Gundam is straight up what MADE the real robot sub genre
Not just that, Gundam franchise is so iconic it creates a genre by itself.
It's true with all Scifi Epics isn't it?
Look at Star Wars. Lucas introduced multiple new ships, new trooper variations, heck even the main characters saw completely redesigns between each film. Stormtroopers became Snowtroopers, then became Scout Troopers. Tiefighter saw Tie Bomber by 2nd film, then Tie Interceptor by the 3rd. X-Wing gave way to the Snow Speeder, then the A-Wing and B-Wing. Even Rebel Troopers got a new coat of paint in each film.
I mean you think it was just Diseny doing it? George was doing it from the start.
As the wise Yogurt said. "Merchandising Merchandising Merchandising!"
Gundam is no different.
Afraid to ask who Yogurt is bc ik it’s a deez nuts joke in disguise

@@jumpreport I'd watch both Galaxy Quest and Spaceballs both great films. Loved by fans of those franchise as honorary films of the franchises. lol
I think that gundam took cues from ww2 so it pioneered just how horrible world wars are. Tomino was born during ww2 so he felt the real effects.
Yeah that checks out, considering how old he is now he would be growing up around the time of WW2
once you have finished the original, i would like to see you do a cover of War in the Pocket and 08th MS Team'
I will take a look at those too!
But also find some time to take care of yourself. Make sure you're good... And then continue to go through emotionally loaded Gundam series.
just wanted to inform you that technically speaking, gundam the origin is not in chronological order in the gundam story as gundam the origin is actually a separate parallel timeline of the one year war, and not actually reflective of the actual story of gundam. the story itself does follow the plot and story of the gundam 0079, but they are not 1 to 1. Though i would wish they would have the Origin anime follow into the one year war like it does in the manga just so we can have a soft remake of the original gundam
Starting to realize that lol. I’m guessing I’ll be back on track though once I look at reviewing the 0079 gundam
Origin sure does has a lot of interesting and upgraded visual, but narratively they downplay plenty of key factors in the story
>making the Federation had suits earlier in the war (despite being absolutely awful completely washed down the importance of project V)
>making the escape of Revil as elaborate plan by Zabi instead of Fed spec ops downplaying their role
>making Gundam as Aneheim product instead of Federation in house production
W content as always
Man, start with origin
The animation style jump will be crazy hahahaha
Anyways welcome to the gundam world's
Thank you lol. I don’t think it should be too drastic of a change for me since I really enjoy the look and aesthetic of classic anime
0079 and zeta gotta be some of the best anime of all time
Good video, I appreciate creators that actually provide analysis rather than just recap the events of the story. I do think you could have spent more time on analyzing, but maybe thats just my bias towards long form. I will definitely be keeping eyes on your journey
Thank you man! Can't wait to take a look at Zeta after 0079, a lot of people have been hyping that one up to me
TBH I feel like Zeta was almost great, but was really hamstrung by needing to sell toys and have a mech fight every episode.
I would agree with this. It's still my favorite in the franchise for its storytelling, even with this downside.
@@daeamiralis Yeah, that makes sense.
There is some truth to the toys commercial, the original Gundam had a very low animation budge and if I am correct Yoshiyuki the director ended up hospital for a good deal of the show from overwork. So the original anime was hit and miss and it was the toy sales that got the series off the ground. Of course the story and world building was good in the series and its clear like you pointed out the Yoshiyuki put a lot of thought into the series themes especially when it came to showing war and what the characters went through. The Gundam that followed the original had a much better budge and then animation and continue the trend of really show casing the theme of war.
I’ve heard something about that (the sequel to the original series having lots of improvements) so I’m looking forward to watching that series too
The one who got hospitalized mid-working was Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (lead animator & character designer of Gundam), not Yoshiyuki Tomino (writer & creator of Gundam).
@@androyus Thanks for that correction I just knew someone got hospitalised, but couldn't find where I saw it and who, but yeah the animation suffered more cause of it especially when they were already working on a low budget.
Very interesting to hear from someone who hasn’t watched the original or Zeta. The Origin did have a lot of great model kits though, I could see fans of lesser Gundam series that primarily focus on the models being grumpy about it, especially since it’s “not canon”. Personally I thought it was great to see young *Ramba Ral* and all the ZEON prototype suits. Felt like a treat for fans of the original.
I'm begging you - please watch ZZ. Yeah the first 10 episodes are a bit goofy, but it truly is a nice change of pace coming straight from Zeta, and I swear to you, you'll enjoy Jadau and his journey.
Both
Watching did make me one to buy the figurines ngl
@@jumpreport the HG Origin Zakus are probably some of the better Zakus kits, but the Zaku revive is a good kit for people who don't build gunpla
The thing that this isn't supposed to be a prequel to the original series. It's based on the flashback arc of the same name manga.
Hmm maybe
@@jumpreport it's literally vol V-VII
Perhaps, prob should see what the experts say first
One thing to note (though I’m sure someone has already noted it) is that Origin is technically a different timeline. The animated portion can be considered canon as it doesn’t clash with anything established by the original series aside from slight changes to character personalities. The Origin in it’s entirety is a manga retelling all of the first Gundam series with a more modern framing and streamlined pacing as well as notable changes. To make it easy, you are free to just take ecerything that is animated under the Universal Century monicker as canon as this is more or less how Bandai and Sunrise words it.
Have fun on the journey and whatever you think of it, don’t skip Double Zeta when you get there. It’d be neat to hear your opinions on the original series, Zeta and beyond and perhaps how they may subvert your expectations. And just a little nitpick; Gundam seldom has villains. It has antagonists. That goes for Char, the Zabis and others beyond the first story
Got it 🫡. Nice pfp btw 😂
@@jumpreport I’m deep into this rabbithole and you’ll be down here soon enough

What I actually recommend to everyone trying to get into Gundam is that watch anything but the sequel and maybe the prequel.
Some good AU Gundam shows are 00, G, and X (rushed ending tho). Maybe IBO and AGE too, but it's the more polarizing one in the fandom.
Speaking of polarizing, if you love characters drama and willing to compromise some flaws in it's writing, go for SEED. I still think SEED is over hated.
Yeah a lot of people have been hyping up SEED as the worst in the series but I’m always curious to see how the black sheep of a series actually shapes up to be
found it neat mike pollock voiced teabolo, nothing serious just cool
Same dude who did Eggman?!
@@jumpreport yeh
Your problem is watching the origin. It had a lot of issues, to be honest I would just watch it as an afterthought because it’s not canon.
D’Oh!
Zabi, even in OG, was not as one dimensionally evil as you seem to suggest they are.
Except Ghiren, he is just evil and his evil made him dumb and die. And he was not even slightly more sympathetic in the origin either.
At the time of making this video I hadn't seen the OG Gundam yet (just came out on HuvooTV recently so have been watching it there!)
The reason why Gundam the Origin has lack of mecha fights is because Mobile Suits are brand new concept and they're still in test development stage before Zaku I was made. meanwhile the Earth Federation's first mobile suit is just an oversized tank known as Prototype Guntank.
If you wanna watch the Gundam franchise then please stick with Universal Century timeline only because alternate universe are just fake alternate timelines that has no connection to Universal Century and their technology makes no sense, but the only exception is Turn A Gundam because it was set many thousand years later after Universal Century ended.
Thank you, loved you in 2049 btw Mr.Gosling

The origin was amazing !
The Origin was born as a manga from wich Bandai doesn't make model kits.
The model kits they made from The Origin Is only from the small part of the manga they adapted in animation.
So no, it's not a glorified toy commercial because the goal of the manga is to retell the classical first animation series with more focus on realism (the authors of the manga worked on the original series too).
That’s what I’m saying!

The originis its own continuity, wherein thr Guntank is old, and the Guncannon is a piece of junk made by small minded fools not taking their job seriously.

I'm not sure how you can call Origin a toy commercial when they never made any toys for it. Where's my Char action figure, huh?
I ate them all while your back was turned
Bruh Amuro literally suffers from exhaustion. It shows the suit taking toll on the mc. Get the facts straight man.
I covered that in my section about him!
I'm in the minority, but I'm 99% sure he didn't kill Deikun.
Every piece of media shows him as appearing fairly shocked at Deikun's death. Especially Origin. Unless he's acting shocked (which, let's face it, anime is usually unsubtle about these things - the show goes out of its way to highlight Kycilia's involvement in Sasro's death), it's reasonable to assume he wasn't Deikun's killer. On top of that, he does seem to genuinely believe in Deikun's cause.
On top of it, Degwin's ascension actually _prevented_ war, or at least delayed it for about a decade.
And see that’s the beauty of the ambiguity of how it’s portrayed. There could be an argument made for both cases because of it
Both.
If you make it all the way to Char's Counterattack, prepare to be immensely disappointed. Great movie, great production, but ultimately disappointing
Sounds like it should be renamed to Char’s Bonerattack then
The Origin is not the start of the series. It's part of an alternate universe that has absolutely no bareing on the rest of the franchise at all and is officially recognized by Bandai and Sunrise as non-canon. Stop spreading misinformation.

The manga is alt UC, not the anime. Sunrise has never stated the ORIGIN anime as an alternate timeline.
The creator of the Manga and director of the OVA intended the anime adaptation to be a pre-history to the original and his manga. Whenever Sunrise acknowledges the OVA, they push it as being canon or just plain Universal Century.
@@NeedSitRep Origin retroactively turns Char into an infinitely competent superhuman and reduces everyone else to a flat caricature. The anime OVA picks and chooses which part of The Origin it adapts and gives people a warped perspective on the events prior to the OYW which simply CAN'T happen in the original timeline. If the OVA was a full recreation of the full manga, it would be more obvious to people it's meant to be an alternate retelling but for some bizarre reason Bandai chose not to do that. The name is also bad "The Origin". It's not the origin of anything, it's fan fiction written by a graphic artist from Sunrise.
