It was like that back in 90s or early 2000s.....Before the coming of 3D printer, people made garage kit in limited numbers and sold it really expensive at Comic Market or Wonder Fair. That's the only access we had for MS-V MS during that time. Bandai used to make only the main stream MS which appeared only on the main Anime
Oh boy SCMP covering anime, but yes, Gundam is huge, and it's actually much influential in pop culture and even culture (red makes things go 3x faster). We all have to thank the Gundam creators like Yoshiyuki Tomino.
Yep, I've never regret knowing this franchise since my childhood years, it was a miracle to behold. A franchise that made the Mecha iconic alongside Mazinger, Getter Robo, etc. ;-;7
@@Hater-z6y Well I can’t really blame you for thinking it that way even I feel like we’re on the path of what late Universal Century was after U.C. 100 or even worse we entire humanity most likely to meet our end because of our mistakes but I still want to believe the possibilities where we’re able to understand one another and all or at least most of us change the world for the better.I think what’s clear are that conflict will never go away completely because they are in our nature that’s why understanding is important not just to others also ourselves I believe that’s the way to maintain balance between order and freedom neither of it mustn’t go over one another as order leads to tyranny and freedom leads to anarchy though even if what I said might make sense it also requires time to get to that point
Actually I think it was revealed in interviews with Tomino that his greatest influence was Starship Troopers. The reason why Gundam standalone among the endless giant robot anime is its realism, character depth, and plot complexity with heavy elements of politics and ideology... Well... Most of the time. Bandai still has to sell model kits afterall. Gundam is kinda like Japan's Star Trek.
I clicked this because I'm an American and it surprised and fascinated me when i found out how culturally ingrained Gundam model kits seem to be in the entire Chinese-speaking world from watching GBWCs
@@chimukab5433 Actually Space Runaway Ideon has more influence on Neon Genesis Evangelion, which is another work of tomino yoshiyuki (the major creater of Gundam series).
The current western audience is too busy arguing amongst each other about which current mainstream series is the most mid and overrated And the big UA-camrs aren't helping either since if they do end up talking about Gundam it will be about how hard it is to get into the franchise
In western movie there are always a protagonist who's always right and villian who's always wrong but this anime is such a big differrence where no one is always right
Just for clarification sake, EVA falls under mecha anime, gundam also is part of the catch 22 category of mecha anime BUT, gundam itself does not include any of those other mecha franchise
7:00 Have we really reached to the point where MGs aren’t even mentioned in a documentary about Gundam itself? This is tragedy indeed. *This post is sponsored by the 1/100 gang.*
*Witch From Mercury* series introduced me to the world of GUNDAM and building/collecting gunpla is kinda addicting, I have no regrets that I accidentally bumped into this franchise...😁
Unfortunately, I have only had the pleasure of seeing one of the Gundam Wing series, and I don't even know what that series was. It had Heero as the main character who would always say "...Relena..." (LoL!!), and another guy named Treize. I thought that the anime was much more philosophical and "mature" than the other anime shows I had seen on Adult Swim. I still to this day remember the "White Reflection" theme song. I would love to start watching again, and see the other series that I had missed. ☹️
Wing is only one of many “alternate universe” Gundam series! All the AU shows you can hop in since they’re unrelated to each other. There’s a movie sequel of Wing that’s pretty cool too. Most people would probably recommend 00 or Witch from Mercury as the easiest way to get back into the series. Seed is pretty infamous for being super melodramatic but people have that nostalgic love for like they do for Wing.
The anime shows that this is how our future is gonna be if we don't stop listening to our politicians propaganda which makes fear in the hearts of people..
I dont watch gundam or play any of the games. But i do like gunpla, kinda like lego puzzle for adults. Nowadays, i build the kits without any guides for that extra spiciness.
I don’t like anything of japan because of I am a Chinese citizen and I am so proud of my identity. If you are a Chinese citizens too then you should do the same thing.
I think people need to stop consider GUNDAM model kits as pure toys. It's a hobby, a passion, and an art style.
gundam is freedom
Yess, triggers me everytime when people called it toys,
@mehmeth9773 SD grade is a toy, HG is either a toy or not ( they consider it as a project), MG and PG were not a toy.

Anime that teaches you Bravery and meaning of sacrifice.
Japan's way of brainwashing it's own people. Along with clueless Foreigners.
And also about understanding
The Law of Ueki? Yes. I agree
I love how you delve into the historical and cultural roots of Gundam.
Zeta, CCA, Unicorn, Seed, 00, and Wing. These are my favourites. And I have the RGs too.
And I have the standard RG Unicorn on my desk.
I love Gundam.
Hope the anti-war message spreads out around the world through with Gundam toys. Suffered enough on nowadays wars & conflicts.
Not just toys also it’s stories told from it’s anime and manga a lot of important things I learned and understand are from Gundam
But it seems that a lot of people just ignores them lol

But evangelion are now in bandai toys also as one of gunpla
Gundam did give rise to mecha genre though.
Evagalion did not include in Gunpla Tournament since it label outside franchise
@@simonsletsplayidnthat’s two different things tho😅
I believe The story counts, even eva is a bio-mech.
I remember when I was 5 years old and being awestruck by Freedom and Justice Gundam, till this day I collect Gunpla and watched all Gundam franchise.
In another universe, Tomino actually became an engineer, and Mobile Suits and their story were brought to reality
In another universe, Tomino could write a coherent story all the way through after the year 1981.
Actually I think it was revealed in interviews with Tomino that his greatest influence was Starship Troopers. The reason why Gundam standalone among the endless giant robot anime is its realism, character depth, and plot complexity with heavy elements of politics and ideology... Well... Most of the time.

Yes... besides anyone but me feel how she pronounced GUNDAM weired?
I don't understand how a franchise like this has failed so hard i the West. It's stories are well told, and it's serious tones are phenomenal...
it reached the west abit too late to the west to make gundam something big in the west.
the west have their own scifi? LIke Star Trek?
failed??..it didnt fail. you should see the diehard fans over there
