Talk:Mobile Fighter G Gundam

Name preference
There seems to be back and forthing on the mecha names. I'd just like to point out that whilst the renames do exist and are used, Bandai openly admits the original names and uses them on the subtitles for the R1 DVDs. The English renames exist purely for marketting reasons for political correctness. I don't believe they should be given preference. It's not like the original names have been removed or are incorrect.--HellCat86 16:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * This still keeps happening. Seriously, there's no reason for it. It's not like Sunrise/Bandai suddenly declared the old names void and the renames canon. The renames were purely to avoid the chance of offending anyone and if you look at the Japanese and subtitles on the official US DVDs you can still find the original names. There's no reason to give preference to the renames other then US bias.--HellCat86 11:44, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, this ridiculous preference to Dark Gundam is stupid, as is the rationale it's ok because apparently no official merchandise uses Devil Gundam in English. Here's a bunch of official merchandise which proves otherwise- http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN46438 http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN916008  http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN913780  http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN912043  http://www.hlj.com/product/BCL1635   http://www.hlj.com/product/BCL1609  --HellCat86 07:41, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Writing of article sloppy.
There's numerous run sentences and over use of terms such as "got over it" and "some < >". It's kinda rambling sounding. Shu24 22:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Text Stolen from MAHQ
After Mobile Suit Victory Gundam finished airing in Japan in early 1994, Bandai commemorated Gundam's 15th anniversary by trying something new: developing the franchise outside the continuity of the Universal Century. Thus, the alternative worlds were born that are the settings for every TV series following Victory Gundam.

Premiering in 1994, Mobile Fighter G Gundam was the first of the alternative Gundam Universe series that would be unrelated to the Universal Century Gundam series. Directed by Giant Robo's Yasuhiro Imagawa, this series took a different approach to the Gundam saga. Rather than having a war between the colonies and the Earth, a fighting tournament is held. This is called the Gundam Fight, it is held once every four years by the United Colonies Federation. Each country would send its own representative, that would pilot a Gundam, and the Gundams would then fight on the Earth until only one is left, and that Gundam's nation will then be able to obtain sovereign rights over all the nations, until another nation wins in the next Gundam Fight. This series is set in Future Century (FC) 60, during the 13th Gundam Fight and it focuses on the Neo Japan Gundam Fighter Domon Kasshu

Raven Gundam
There seems to be some issue with this since people keep listing it as Soaring Raven Gundam whilst GundamOfficial quite clearly lists it as just Raven Gundam: http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/fc/mechanics/mf_raven.html It's also being confused by the title of episode 42,'' Assault of the Four Heavenly Kings! Soaring Gundam Heaven's Sword''. Naturally in the dub this becomes ''Assault of the Four Heavenly Kings! Soaring Raven Gundam''. Because of this and the double barrelled name in the original Japanese, people seem to be thinking Soaring is part of the Gundam's name. It's not, it's a description used in the episode title.--HellCat86 10:37, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Fighting styles
Should we mention that they control their gundams through the motion sensor skin things? Im pretty sure that all the pprevious ones just had the levers and pedals. I never did understand how you could have a complex duel with just those four controls and some buttons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.107.216.12 (talk) 06:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Why the fuck is this picture relevant? --66.192.186.101 (talk) 21:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Wrong Influence citation?
"The design of the piloting system, whereby the pilot is dressed in only a skintight suit, is a feature found in many other 'giant fighting robot' anime/manga. This could be attributed to the success of the device in Neon Genesis Evangelion, which started its run about a year prior to G Gundam."

I recall that G Gundam was the one that aired one year earlier than Evangelion. This article and the Evangelion article shows this. Unless the contributor was talking about Evangelion's first manga run, this Evangelion citation feels more like a advertisement. And talking about the "skintight suit" of the 'giant fighting robot'(otherwise known as mecha) genre, I can cite many other earlier instances like the Mazinger series. Evangelion's 'Plug Suit' does not control the movement of the robot directly, it just makes the pilot have higher synchronization inside the LCL. An early reference to direct control would be Daimos, which incidentally features a skintight suit too. The skintight suit appears quite frequently in mecha anime, especially on older series, so it might be safe to say that it is part of the genre itself. Based on these arguments, I shall remove the aforementioned part. Neo silentchaos (talk) 23:35, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't we?
shouldnt we put the DVD cover case instead? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Linder1990 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Gee, it sure would be nice to have an EPISODE LIST
APPARENTLY IT'S SUPER COOL TO HAVE A RED LINK TO NOWHERE FOR WHAT IS IT THREE YEARS?

I DON'T KNOW IF "EXPLICIT" KNOWS WHAT WIKIPEDIA WAS MEANT TO DO BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS TO FLAGRANTLY DELETE STUFF BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIKE IT.

Sorry I guess it's a year and a half but come on, what difference does it make?

He even deleted my talk page comment sounds like he's got nothing better to do than police dumb stuff he did over a year ago and make sure nobody says anything bad about him. I could to that but that'd make me CHILDISH, like someone who deletes things because he doesn't like it or doesn't see the point? I guess if my talk edits here disappear then we'll know the score on that end.

Gunpla updates
Hello everyone, I added the Gunpla releases and details for them. in the next days or so I think im gonna do a list of every different gundam seen in this series and cite them to a gundam fandom cite. I feel like the special thing of G Gundam was seeing the awesome very accurate stereotypical gundams (Tequilla gundam aka spike gundam) and have links so people can see how cool and different they are.

G Gundam list
Hey everyone, gonna do an update here in a little, my game plan is to list each Gundam seen in the show and cite the episode in which it appears in so that way people can go look that episode up to fact check since I'm having a hard time finding a reliable cite and what not. also this gives people the information they need to track down that specific gundam episode if they just care for that gundam in particular.
