top 10 thing that likely happen to you if you live in gundam universe

Do you ever curious about living in Gundam universe?, here is the list of thing Likely to happen to you.

1).  Getting Nuke on Valentine day (Gundam Seed / Gundam Seed Destiny)
          If you think getting dump on Valentine was bad, wait until you live in Gundam Seed universe. You might woke up one day and see a nuclear heading your way and living on a space colony stranded out in space make you realize their is no escape. This happen to Coordinator who live in a space colony "Junius 7" killing 243,721 civilians. This Trigger the whole war in Gundam seed.

2). Trap in a Space colony when the air turn poisonous (Gundam UC)
        When you think getting nuke on valentine was bad. Getting kill as part of rising Military power is worst. It seem Titan suppose to represent Nazi Germany. So the whole deal with titan is that they murder and genocide even the space colony civilian just so to blame them on the Zeon remnant.

3). get to pilot MS that not Gundam
         Being a GUNDAM pilot is Good, but being a no-name pilot is a bad thing. When watching the show you might see a explosion on the background, that probably you if you are a pilot of that insignificant MS. the unit like "Ball" were nickname space coffin for how low survival rate in UC era.

4). Being a female  (Especially V gundam)
         Guess what, you might survive longer a female but you probably died a gruesome or horrible death. For the record I'm not sexist or anything,it just some death in the show are pointless and cruel. Take a scene from V Gundam where the all female squadron were set to sortie and the one of female soldier got incinerate by the gundam Beam Sabre. Did i mension they were half naked

5). Being Born Different
      If you were born some kind of genius with with special ability in this world, congrats. But in the Gundam world, it just plain damn suck. Let take New Type, if you born to be one congrats you just sign a life time employment contact with the military power supporting your country. If you not really into war and refuse to fight in the war for them, you either stuck in military lab working as human test subject, or under house arrest until the find a good use for you, did i mention that all newtype can hear each other though as well as suffering their death. Or take Coordinator, it will suck knowing your mom or dad just hire a professional contractor to genetically modified you and give birth to you in lab. On the bright side you were born perfect with everything you parent want you to be, an athlete with a brain of a genius and longer life span and the terrorist hate you. Did I say the terrorist, i mean all normal human who live on earth. Guess what you have to migrate to space colony, and OH SHIT.....................



6). Living in a Colony
    where do i start with this one. Your choice of death were the following, getting nuke, getting nuke on valentine day, Colony got shot by idiot with powerful beam rifle, some weapon company secretly build a secret powerful MS under you feet without you consent and you colony got destroy by idiot that forgot if a MS explode inside a colony it pretty destroy the whole damn thing. there is more coming, but you should get the picture by now.

7). Miraculously survive a MS skirmish in space
   alright you survive a fight, you might lose, but hey you survive to fight another day, but wait where are the shipped, where are the closed colony to you, how much oxygen you got left. getting stranded in dark empty space is not a good thing, once you lost perception of time and wait until the time you died is the worst way to go. Be Hero (Yui) a push the button, if you lucky you might kill the guy who left you to died in outer space.

8). Getting involve with Gundam
     If you lucky enough to ever touch a Gundam, you will blame yourself for ever seen it. You see people died alot in all Gundam saga, but the chace of survival in gundam universe is pretty low once you ever saw a gundam, and probably going down hill from there. Let take Gundam00 for instance, those who work for Union research center, which are investigating the Gundam attack, you probably death by the time to you close to answer by the team trinity bunch's Unit. or gundam seed, you can see all the engineer of Morgan Red got slaughter by Zaft elite force while attempting to steal your gundam. you see getting involve with the most power Mobile suit in the series is just plain damn bad news.

9). Live in Peaceful country (Gundam Seed/Wing)
    thinking of migrate to a peaceful country is not a good idea. For the peaceful country to stand toe to toe and keep it peace against other world power, they either have a very strong army of it own or they are employing Gundam in their league. Either way you are doom. Remember the opening scene from Gundam Seed Destiny, in case you don't see the show yet let me paint you the picture. you were running away from ORB because your country have the last mass driver available for the Blue Cosmos to use in order to get to space, as well as the weapon manufacturer that produce Gundam and other mobile suit that are on par with Gundam equipped with OS that can be piloted by Natural. you got stray shot from the battling mobile suit, you family got kill and what it left is your sister arm and mobile phone, that just sad.


10). Living on Earth
    Two word "Colony Drop", you can run you can hide. Either way you are so freaking screw. It seem the space colony government in most gundam  series seem to only understand that the only way to save the Colony from earth government is to freaking ram it against earth. and not the empty one, some of the Space colony still have people in it. Just like going green, the concept sound good, but how thing was done and it progress is bad. Still want to live in anime? The real life is much better, no corrupted government or Military power. No government conspiracy or evil corporation that just doing business over pile of death body...............................wait, a ticket to Gundam universe please.

Lunar Gear: 10 Thing you might not know about Gundam

• The series was originally set to run for 52 episodes and was cut down to 39 by the shows sponsors due to the fact that the show rating were so low that according to the survey of that time very few people tune in to watch the show. Luckily, the staff was able to negotiate a one month extension to end the series with 43 episodes.

Original Title screen from Original Mobile suit Gundam

• In both American TV showings, and on the American DVD release, Episode 15: Cucuruz Doan's Island was cut out. It was felt, even by Tomino (The Director) , that this episode was not up to par with the rest of the series and so it was never dubbed, making it into a "lost episode" of sort. And this might be origin of the Sunrise's "Stuck on the island" plot which were used so many time in Gundam series and Other Sunrise's series. The scene worth mention is the Episode in Gundam Seed where Arthrun and Cagalli was struck in an island together. While in Code Geass Zero and Yuffie end up struck on the island as well as Kallen and Suzaku.

Above few scene from Ep. 15 Cucuruz Doan's Island

• First Gunpla that is produced by Bandai. It was 1/144 Gundam, the first Gunpla is totally white and don't have much detail but cost 300 yen. It was released back in 1980, and the sale were so bad Bandai never thought they would profit from this new line of plastic model kit. But when the series ended and were about to be rerun, the sale of Gunpla sky rocket to the point that Gunpla become one of Bandai most profit toy line.

• G-Armor the bulky armor that enable RX78-2 to fly, were not intend to be include in the original show. It were insert into the show to boost the toy sale. The Clover DX Gundam Gatai Set is the first major toy for Gundam Franchise, it include gundam and the G-Armor with Gatai(combine) gimmick. The G-Armor were replaced by Core-Booster on the Gundam the movie. In Gundam Origin (Manga series) the Core-Booster was redesign as gundam Sub-Flight system instead so that Gundam can ride on it.

• Most Weapon feature in SGT. Keroro, were design base on Weapon feature in Gundam Series. For Example Kerone-Ball are design base on Zaku II cracker grenade. and Giroro weapon arsenal are the redesign version of many iconic weapon from gundam universe. In the show they are going as far as having an armor that resemble to Gogg and Z'gog

• Most Gundam TV Series, their will be an Character that wear mask or sunglasses to disguise themselves. Like Char who wear mask to disguise himself from Zeon family, or When he join AEUG wearing only sunglasses and call himself Quartro Bajena. The First Character to ever wear the mask is Char Aznable, the mask he wear is actually the eye protection mask given by his friend at military academy before he start the student riot.

All masked character from tv series

• Most main protagonist will upgrade "gundam" during the course of the show, like Kira Yamato's Strike Gundam to Freedom in Seed. The first main protagonist who the first to ever upgrade to another gundam is Kamille Bidan from Gundam Z, By first piloting Gundam MkII to Zeta Gundam. However Tomino (director of Gundam) planned for Amuro to Upgrade from RX78-2 to RX78-3 which was waiting for Amuro at Jaburo. The plan were scrapped because Gundam unit 3 might be 1.5time faster but it is basically gundam with grey color, the toy company think grey color gundam will not popular as a toy. But in order to keep the original storyline Amuro were given magnetic coating which speed up gundam unit 2 by 1.5 time.

• For Asian Viewer back in the 80 might get to watch Gundam on their local channel. For Thailand it was aired on channel 7 back in 1981. Ironically for the real robot theme anime receive a very Thai super robot name "อภินิหารกันดั้ม" which roughly translate as "the mystical Gundam". While In US first gundam ever-air is Gundam W on CatoonNetwork in year 2000, under the toonami time slot which feature only Japanese animation. after the premier of Gundam W, it became the most popular show in Toonami time slot and last almost the full year, only to be push down the rank by the legendary Dragonball Z

• Censorship is the most mortal enemy of TV-Show. Back in year 2001 the original gundam tv series were aired halfway through the series, but after the 9/11 the show banned due to censorship under unknown reason. while other show with similar theme were able to be air but not Gundam. In US many gundam from G gundam and Gundam W series were rename so that the name is not referencing any thing religious or racist and appropriate for young audience. To name a few God Gundam was turn to Burning Gundam, devil gundam to Dark gundam, or Gundam Heaven Sword to Raven Gundam.

Devil Gundam/Dark Gundam

• Haro is the mascot for Gundam series, Haro have appear in many gundam series since the first series. Haro was originally a toy robot owned by Amuro Ray since he was a kid. The original haro cant accomplish much since it practically a toy. While in the later series even small haro in Gundam seed have a useful function like hacking and unlock military war-shipped prisoner bay lock, while in Gundam 00 it could be used Gundam meister personal mechanic and even nurse during surgical procedure.
