In my opinion, Mobile Fighter G Gundam is the best Gundam in the series. Obviously the majority of the original series fan will completely disagree with me, but that's their opinion, and this is mine.

This is where this series shines: It takes the basic settings of all gundam which is more or less a strungle between Earth and Colony, Drama, Action with giant robots etc, but it does it GOOD.

First : MAIN CHARACTER IS ADULT, NOT TEENAGER. So no teenage angst, stupid romance, stupid drama or anything that you can't stand after watching so many Gundam shows.

Second : The main character has a goal and a personnality. Most of the main characters of Gundam series don't have one.

Third : He's initially a martial artist, and the gundam in this series work with the movement of the bodies, so no bullshit Newtype magically learning how to ride the mecha.

Fourth : The stories does get somewhere. The original Gundam tried to go into a Mature Military Drama type of story but failed because the characters are so young and dumb sometimes that you try do understand where the story is going

Fifth : The soundtrack is epic, just for that it deserves to be mentioned.

Seriously, if you consider watching a Gundam that isn't a carbon copy of the last one with stupid characters and no direction in the story, watch this. By no means it's perfect, it does have it shares of silliness and Anime absurdities and such but it isn't enough to stop this show from being awesome. (show less)

i don't care what the star rating is just as long as you read the review i put, honestly compared to the other gundam series i have this one is hands down the worse, and that's excluding SD which can't even be called gundam at all, i know when idea of gundam first came up it was of gundanium clad unstoppable juggernauts, but honestly the spirit behind gundam was utterly destroyed by this series. gundam was always about a similar story, an unavoidable war breaks out and a mobile suit was designed to far surpass anything the enemy can field, only one series i have watched (and i still have three to go personally) has went against this idea and is the greatest for it, but G gundam was embarassing, the idea of huge war machines being used as nothing more than a tool for televised entertainment was rather stupid, especially when they decided to add a deeper meaning to the story and make some world threatening danger, if you want to watch glamorized robots beating eachother to a pulp i do believe the a rock em sock em robot game would prove better entertainment, this is all in my opinion though, however i will have to admit, the animation and a few ideas of the evolution of technology in the cockpit of the mech is rather neat, (show less)
