[QUOTE="kamina888, post: 423322, member: 2348"] Seconded. Good that Gundam is back on fans radar. After Beez/Bandai USA closed I wondered what would happen to Gundam in the West, but I am glad that there are still options for fans who cannot/will not pay JP market prices (youtube streaming, rightstuf releases). Speaking of which is anyone considering ordering the Turn A sets? Gateway Gundam? Well, I watched Wing first (probably on CMX), though I was not that impressed with it. It was the original Gundam movie trilogy that made me a fan as it delivered what I had been expecting of the franchise from the reviews and forum posts I had read. As for Seed, I liked it more than I expected, given how unoriginal it was. I suppose it is the anime equivalent of Kill Bill as it steals so much after a while you stop noticing! Though having said that it does introduce some good ideas and characters of its own, and may be a good introduction for those who want to try a full TV series but are put off by the older animation style.
