It's the early 2000's, the weekday, and you just got out of school.... You rush back home to catch the afternoon time slot of Toonami on cartoon network. Dragon Ball Z, Mobile Suit Gundam, Sailor Moon, and Card Captor Sakura.... Those were the days!
My first exposure to Gundam was the foto novel a classmate brought from japan. This was mid 80s and I was in middle school. Needless to say it blew me away. Here I was watching American cartoons where no matter what no one really died. The seeing Char Bazooka a chick through her face.
My 4 year old son and I built our first gunpla today! I've been a fan since I was a little older than he is now, but my parents would never fork out the dough for any weird plastic robots! Now I'm the dad and get to decide what constitutes as a wise purchase :)
Gundam has came a long way, and personally we're all happy because despite the initial reception, it's actually culminated into a prime pop culture phenomenon! Tomonio, Sunrise and Bandai have done exceptionally well in creating the giant robot franchise of awesomeness of another beat of the symphony that is anime
I remember discovering Gundam through the original 1979 series when I was 11 on RUclips, back when they had anime and TV Shows to watch under the TV Shows Section.
I am “new” to the Gundam fandom. But I have to say that it is some of the greatest piece of media ever created in our lifetime. I used to think it was lame because I honestly didn’t understand it. Especially 0079 because the animation was so old looking (I was 10 at the time). But now at 28 and the world the way it is, the stories resonate now more than ever and has captivated me like no other
Imagine what happen to every people in fans club of gundam in 1979 and 1980 now.. they must be in their 50s or 60s of age and without them we would'nt have gunpla today..
I agree, Gundam had made their teenage years during that time... Even they aged like wine, they are still part of the fandom that we used to be today..
Animation is brutal work when you are on tight turnarounds. Manga artists similarly drive themselves to injury or seeming madness due repetitive physical strain on arm and hand joints, as well as crushing mental stress
While I'm aware that Furuya voiced both Amuro and Ribbons in 00, it's still pretty surprising to hear that his normal voice just sounds like Ribbons or 0093 Amuro speaking calmly.
I was a zoids fan before I become a solid Gundam fans I abandoned zoids for disappointment that the series stop making new series after that I watch Gundam and I said it's not bad so I watch it till I get addicted to it even when zoids return I don't have any interest in it anymore because Gundam was already in my heart.
I knew gundam since i was like 9 (2010) cause i watched some products of gundam wing and my parents bought them cause they watched gundam and z. Than at 2013 i found a MG sword impulse gundam and get it for my birthday so i searched for the show and ended up on gundam build fighters that was airing back then. Since that time im a fan.
I was the same as you. My dad used to watch gundam Zeta when he was younger so he told me there's this gundam show that is airing on TV and said i should check it out and it was Gundam Seed. Though at the time i didn't know the show had any toys since they were never sold in my place so i was never really into it as much compared to Power Rangers and Transformers. I finally got back into Gundam when Build Fighters Aired and watch it on RUclips which made me fell in love with the franchise again especially the Gunpla's that were made so Build Strike was my first ever Gunpla and now I've had over hundreds of Gunplas ever since then and have watch almost every Gundam Show/Series, Movies, Mangas, and even Video Games that have came out.
Depends on the series. Sometimes its a steadfast child even though everyone else around him is dying (Victory) or a once child soldier whos priority is the mission alone who wakes up and discover their humanity (Wing or 00) not all Gundam series are the same.
I guess this person hasn't actually watched Gundam. There's only a few that have emotionally unstable main characters and those tend to be the less liked series (looking at you Zeta and Seed Destiny). There's also quite a few Gundam series that are much lighter, more typical shonen like any of the Build shows.
Gundams are real wake up sheeple
more real than your s3x life hahaha
A shame this documentary has to be reposted like this. Without reposters things like this would be lost to time.

😭🤘🤘
That was 2001 my friend.
@@alligatorsam5357 and 2001 isn't the early 2000s?
@@paulheap1982 I never said it wasn't.
All class 😎
No sass 🤓
Wow it's so interesting to see how much Tomino and crew relied on the fans for support just look at where Gundam is today.

That was badass and savage at the same time lol.
Yeah I never remember someone in GI Joe died even on their enemy side.

Awesome dad!
that's wazzup
"looking back, that was Tomino in his absolute prime"; smh, this guy hasn't even seen Turn A

25:20 "WHY DOESN'T THE GUNDAM HAVE A ROCKET PUNCH LIKE MAZINGER Z?!??!?" made me cry inside
Tryon 3 has the ability to execute that punch btw.

Wait til you see Turn A Gundam
Thank you Tomino-San and everyone involved in making Gundam. The anime’s and Gunpla brought me and my friends together. Sieg zeon
Rare to see content of this quality on RUclips.

Thank you to everyone involved in the show's development because when I saw Mobile Suit Gundam it literally changed my life for the better
Ive never seen the original UC shows yet but still that miharu scene also made me shed a tear im excited
My cousins showed Gundam to me early 2000s I'm now a proud owner of a Perfect Grade Zaku II Char Custom.
That's crazy that back then they didn't think they could make toys of the "bad guys" so they had more creative freedom for Zeon.
31:14 "In the old days, animators used to drop dead all the time" wtf Lol
Its true that animators drop dead due to their immense work load and Japan's toxic working culture
Animation is brutal work when you are on tight turnarounds. Manga artists similarly drive themselves to injury or seeming madness due repetitive physical strain on arm and hand joints, as well as crushing mental stress
I got into gundam recently because of that game gundam evolution. Since then I've been obsessed with gundam. Kamille Bidan is my fave.
And for me, Judau Ashta is my favorite
Happy birthday Tomino! 🎉🥳🎊🍾🎂
Yo the last time i commented here i said i havent seen a single UC show, that was 6 months ago, now ive seen EVERYTHING, FUCKING EVERYTHING. Wow
Gundam is Japanese Star Trek, the fans were the force that really saved the Earth Federation
Gundam is like Japanese Star Trek and Star Wars put together!
While I'm aware that Furuya voiced both Amuro and Ribbons in 00, it's still pretty surprising to hear that his normal voice just sounds like Ribbons or 0093 Amuro speaking calmly.
So much struggle, at least it was worth it
the one that started it all
This is an awesome doc, thank you for posting!
本当に貴重なドキュメンタリーです
"The toys didn't sell." How much do all those original toys sell for now compared to the original cost?
Shuichi Ikeda is the char clone of the real world .
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing it. I'd like to see how they made the famous Gundam Sounds!
Thank you for this documentary
When sunrise saved the world, and themselves
Then bandai changed the game
These robots are fucking awesome

Thanks so much for the reupload!

what does Gundam run on, cry baby tears of emotional unstable pilots ?!
so hard to watch
Bullshits

The sweats and tears of the production team and sponsors lol
I swear you American's don't understand Gundam. Then again, why the hell is Evangelion so damn popular? The teens in those shows are more emotional!
