I’ve read this somewhere, but Peter Cullen’s OP narrating these trailers honestly feels like Optimus is telling these tales to his fellow Autobots during a bonfire
He is
Listening to it again and yes, I totally concur. It's Optimus telling stories of the War on Cybertron over an Energon Bonfire.
Agreed
HELL YES GUNDAM X TRANFORMERS CORSSOVER NOW WERE WAITING
I'm surprised he's still alive
This was my first Gundam series and it is timeless.
Same. I still love Gundam to this day, I'm 40 and my daughters think I'm weird.
@@The1redman2 I’m sure they’ll come to appreciate how cool Gundam is. Unless if they’re already fans of it, that is.
@@619AGT
But then again. Gundam Universal Century timeline is brutal.
Same loved it so much bought the boxset on dvd for when i had kids. First acutal anime i liked was .hack Sign
@@The1redman2 Was starting to think was only one i got the boxset and let my kids watch it. Felt it was smarter then their Spongebob. Kinda glad i did now my kids like Gundam Wing and watching with me and wolfs rain lol. Also old Xmen cartoon so they know the good shows now lol.
Re-watching the promos as an adult, I realize that a large part of what made Toonami so special was how meticulously well-crafted their supporting content was. Promos, think pieces, community engagement - all of it was phenomenally well done by people that clearly cared in a way that rarely happens even today.
The shows/movies were definitely important, but that late-90s to early-2000s vibe is so timeless precisely because the people running that programming block clearly went out of their way to package the experience with a thoughtful sincerity that is viscerally palpable decades later.
USA had anime shows on it in the 80s. Its the Godfather of American Anime brodcast and planted the seeds. SCI-fi channel is the cool uncle that dropped in every blue moon with an exclusive. Toonami is the Big Papa. Toonami is the reason Anime is booming globally right now. It waterd the seeds and tended to the crops that yeilded all this otaku fruit we have now
This guy Gets It... Cheers
So true. I've seen this trailer so many times and I never get tired of it most likely due to the storytelling, thought and music put into it. The promos always got you hyped for the shows.
So perfectly said. I come back to these every once in a while to relive the memories and they never get old. Those epic trap beats with the Gundam and DBZ promos are absolutely legendary. Toonami is a timeless gem of the late 90s early 2000s.
The promos and ads were arguably just as important as the series themselves in their entirety. Good Heavens!!! I remember the Trunks Saga of DBZ because the promos were so HYPE!! It is truly just childhood magic on the level of anything that Disney can create.
As a thirty year old mechanical engineer... This show is one of the main reasons I do what I do.
I do the same field! 31 year old :D
I'm in IT, 33 years old lol
I love Gundam Wing its awakens so many feelings inside me.
when did they tell you that gundams are a mechanical nightmare?
@@genericimage2452 Only when you take them into battle and have to repair the damage those careless pilots caused.
"The year is after colony 195" literally a phrase stuck in my head my whole life.
"My name is Optimus Prime and I'm here to annouce Gundam Wing Remastered."
1:22 "IT'S A GUNDAM!!!" Truly a masterpiece.
Fooooooolllssss!!!
That's no mobile suit!!
Does anyone else not see....how this is a remaster? Visually/audio
*Explodes*
Papa gundam.
Toonami did such a great job, I felt like Gundam Wing has been airing nonstop for the past 25 years, the series is still so fresh and yet super nostalgic
Yep
I agree they make new spin off Gundam Shows even a prequel to Char story but nothing beats the Classic like Gundam Wing. 👍
I love how Lady Un shoots a guy she just dropped out of a plane in flight. Ain't no kill quite like overkill.
Overkill is underrated. Make sure the job is done correctly the first time.
just very good at her job lol
Sometimes you gotta make a statement before you drive the point home.
You know how often someone falling off a cliff in anime comes back? This is just securing the kill.
Always double tap
I'm still obsessed with this series 25 years later.
imho its still one of the better ones. Gundam seed, 00, and aldnoah zero are all pretty great as well though zero isnt about gundamns but close
Is the only good gundam anime.
I watch it at least once a year if not twice. I really wish we could get a proper sequel to this series, but that's probably out of the question.
@@grim86 aside from this. i like the iron blooded orphans too
I honestly feel like all the automated combat people need to be forced to watch it
Man they sold this series like it was an action trailer and it worked like a charm cause I didn't miss one episode 😂
Agree. Even as a child it was one of the series i got heavily invested with the lore and combat
This is one of those nostalgia moments that hurt. Like physical pain. I remember watching toonami as a kid on an old CRTV on Channel 58. Those weren't great times. Things were rough, parents had split and I was too young to really understand the custody battle. Dad had to work late but he'd always turn on the TV when he left right after dinner. Usually when he was leaving I was watching Ed Edd N Eddy, but about an hour later I'd get my taste of Dragon Ball Z, Gundam, Yu Yuu Hakashow and Inuyasha and Tom slinging some good old fashioned crisp Steve Blum lines at me in between. And yeah things weren't going so well for me and my family at that point but this was one of those little things that helped me escape from that.
I had cable and Toonami was on channel 44.
lot of us had sub-par lives man.. we just work as hard as we can to keep getting better everyday ! keep at it!
I remember when Toonami first started when I was in elementary school. I was one of those kids who loved classic animation and watched Cartoon Network all the time for anything from Swat Kats to Snagglepuss. It was awesome to be introduced to shows that excited my young imagination and were my first forays into the realm of fantasy and action adventure. When I was 8-9 stuff like Voltron and Thundercats appealed heavily to me. I was very fortunate to have grown up in the late 90s and experienced all of this firsthand.
that one hit me in the feels. had a similar deal.
I know what you mean friend. It was the only escape we had.
This takes me back 20 years to a simpler time when the internet was just discussion boards, linking park was all the rage and Toonami was the king of the channel.
We had it good!
we spent the best evenings of our lives completely unaware of how significant they were T_T
Back then if I wasn't on Yahoo games chatting (and playing pool), I was watching anime. Sometimes both. Sometimes I miss the early 2000's. The political strife wasn't as bad then.
I was thinking about watching all gundam shows in order. I may just watch gundam wing first though. It was the first gundam show for me
@@jaredsparks5834 too good, should have known it wasn't bound to ever happen again.
These promos gave me goosebumps as a child and even at age 32 they still do. Oh how I miss Toonami. Hadn't built a gundam in almost 16 years until covid hit. Bought the most expensive one you could buy. I felt like a little kid again.
I'm 32 dude
Sir I must know what kit brought you back
I just grabbed a mg exia and will most likely paint it layer on im getting my og gundams back
Same here, just nostalgia and goosebumps from Peter Cullens voice. Like i was transported back in time to when i was 9 or 10.
Most expensive huh?! Like the Gaint real life size one Japan Built?! Maybe I should try building one
"Those who have laid eyes on a Gundam, shall not live to tell about it." What a savage line.
4th reason Heavyarms became my favourite Gundam. Other three are gatling guns.
@@Stratos1988thank you for bringing me back to this comment.. Can’t believe it’s been 2yrs already.
@@user-fb8bo3ys2f Lol, no problem xD I only just today noticed the HD remake and started reading comments. Before I noticed how much time had passed I already posted.
@@Stratos1988 haha all good man! I love coming back to these videos from time to time… The nostalgia hits me hard. Times were oh so much simpler in the Toonami days…
33 years old and I can still remember the first time I saw Gundam Wing. It was like witnessing a miracle!
I am so glad that SlimD716 has been acknowledged and credited after 12 years of remastering Toonami promos. He kept their legacy alive and relevant during some sad times when Toonami was off air 1 resto at a time.
For real; came here to say just that.
I know. I thought I was on HIS channel at first
Respect. Also, all your videos are dope. Stay up king 🤘
Oh, it's a fan remaster huh? How long ago was this done? Because it looks like the sort of aggressive WarpSharp filtering you saw in fansubs ~2005 or so. It gets rid of noise at the expense of fine details and makes gradients and anything without a solid outline rather blurry.
@@aoitamashii Facts. In the first few frames you can’t even distinguish any facial features. Even thing looks like clay blobs.
"A new chapter in one of the greatest anime sagas of all time, Gundam Wing." Peter Cullen's voice makes this one of the most epic commercial ever. Pure goosebumps.
Does it *really* count as "continuing the saga" if it's a new timeline?
You mean Optimus Prime's voice.
@@the_inquisitive_inquisitor ofc
Also *_"SUIT UP"_*
Peter Cullen delivers that in the same tone and intensity whenever he says *_"Roll out!"_*
@@geocross237 the perfect voice and commercial
I rewatched Gundam Wing for the first time in 15 years just before the pandemic. I never realized how deeply its politics impacted my own political beliefs. A united Earth, an understanding that global peace is possible (at some point), and a healthy interest in science and robitcs (a hobby of mine) were the basis of my adolescent education established by this anime. It gives me chills every time I watch it.
Honestly, Gundam Wing is where my absolute opposition to drone warfare comes from. War is not meant to be a game, and when "your side" has complete immunity from death, war becomes little more than a real life video game. Whether or not there is honor is war can be debated all day, but there is no question: There is no honor is unmanned warfare.
If we end up with "open borders" there will be no "grass is greener on the other side" and no where to run if you disagree with a world wide law put in place. You need to prevent the "Romfeller Foundation" of achieving it's goal unless you want total slavery for your descendants for eternity.
True but just be sure that you won't be apart of their great reset. Our great reset will be better then theirs.
It’s unfortunate that the Hong Kong protesters chose to worship Trump, a man who was anti-world peace, was an isolationist (America Only), and wanted to stoke micro-aggressions against China and its people just because “CCP evil.”
im 35... the nostalgia and memories with this ad... my god... the feels...
I was 9 years old when this promo aired and I remember literally dropping everything and standing in front of the TV. It was all I could think about for weeks to come, especially considering the air date was a day before my 10th birthday. To this day, this anime still holds up as one of my favorites and most memorable. Thank you Toonami for bringing so many awesome memories to all of us!!!
Are you me?
I did the same
I had the same reaction, and i was 24
Big fact s
I love that Bandai Entertainment was so impressed with this trailer that they actually licensed it for use on their DVDs back in the day. They didn't even edit out the "Weekdays at 5:30!" part.
To be fair, the VHS Bandai releases are the Toonami version. Since VHS can only handle 1 language option unlike DVD and Blu-ray, Gundam Wing and Dragonball Z used the Toonami version on VHS.
@@edtifa ....What? I'm not talking about the episodes themselves. I'm talking about this trailer specifically. Bandai put this trailer on their DVDs when they wanted to advertise Gundam Wing on other DVDs, well after VHS died off.
Like, I didn't even mention VHS tapes. I'm not even sure Wing HAD VHS tapes. I don't think the daytime edit was ever released on home video.
@@buchiklop110 gundam had VHS for sure.
Yeah, the trailer is on my Outlaw Star box set. It’s a very cool little time capsule.
@@BigEd45EX i don't what know
What words I could say
The wind has a way
To talk to me...
I was just a kid, probably 4-5 years old watching this in the early 2000’s.. I’ve loved gundams ever since!
I truly love how the people running the official Adult Swim channel is recognizing years-long fan projects.
I remember watching this trailer as a kid and I watched this entire season all the way to endless waltz. Thank you Toonami for 25 years of and more to come. The ambience and compilations of anime commercials produced was pure genius.
08th MS team was dope too
Same, 2000 hit different. I tried collecting the toys, but I could never find Epyon or Deathscythe. Those Endless waltz designs are still my favorites to this day.
@@a-listercrowley2737 It sucks how short that series was! I wished it was a 25 or 50 episode full length series, but it definitely had the best ground warfare fight of the anime, not to mention the toys were dope
@@Murf_Workshop if dethsythe was the one with the green sword, I had that one.
I had all the Gundam Wing models back in the day!
22 years later and I still think Gundam Wing had some of the greatest music in the history of anime
Gundam Wing, 00 season 1&2. Best music.
@@elijahnoah What's interesting is I loved Gundam 00 but I wasn't that big of a fan for the music....except for the 2nd opening "Ash Like Snow," which is one of my favorite Gundam themes. My overall favorite would be Tsuki No Mayo from Turn A Gundam, just beautiful
its bandai and sunrise they got fu money so they tend to give gundam series phenomenal ost
The Gundam Wing series composer is Kow Otani, same guy behind the OST's for Outlaw Star, You're Under Arrest, Haibane Renmei, the PS1 game Sky Odyssey and the PS2 game Shadow of the Colossus.
Also in Unicorn and any music composed by Sawano
one of the best english dubs in all of anime. Trowa's line "Those who have laid eyes on a Gundam shall not live to tell about it." and Heero's "I eliminate all obstacles."
bro,when the girl talked trowa out of killing himself..powerful stuff.
My name is duo maxwell , I may run and hide but I won't tell a lie. That's me in a nutshell
Zech's they have severely underestimated the value of my life
@@lakersmagic5 omg yes thank you. i love that one.
My favorite is "You saw I was a kid, and you underestimated me." Wufei's delivery is bone chilling.
Used to watch this late night on Toonami: The Midnight Run along with Dragon Ball Z. Good times, man. Still have my action figures, too!
ive got my plastic ones in a bag too:O not as cool as the model guys but they work!
@@awt1989 i'm not a fan of models, just regular figures. Wish i had Epyon, though.
@@derek-64 I used to have the Epyon figure. Wished I kept those. I have a few gunpla models now though.
Thank You Toonami!! I’m turning 36 this year and will never forget being a teenager and recording every episode of Gundam Wing on VHS so I could Re watch it whenever I wanted to. You have a very special place in my heart Toonami!!
I did the same thing on fuji vhs tapes; it's relieving hearing someone doing the same thing in my years of nostalgia.
big brother is that you?
I'm 36 myself and I was so hyped when this aired. I'd come home from my first year in high school and watch this every day.
Lol, I'm 38 and definitely did this as well.
I did that. Those tapes were worked hard!
I want to go back guys... I want that feeling of excitement again. This trailer hit me the same way today as it did 20+ years ago. Long live Toonami.
Good times bro.. Missing those days.
@@Darklink1017 missing them so much. Let’s be thankful though, we’re alive to reminisce and try it again.
It was a golden age bro, I miss it so much as well. We lived some potentially amazing times
Facts to all yall 💯
I want to go back too man
ITS HERE NOW IN GUNDAM EVOLUTION
Simply chilling….
Cullen’s voice,superb art.While I knew Gundam had it’s years in the industry,Wing was something to behold. Want to watch it all over again.
Toonami will always be unforgettable. Timeless lineup….
Can't go wrong with Gundam Wing.
Amen to that
You see, THIS is how Netflix and HBO should advertise original shows. Concise, epic, whimsical, and it itself was as a tribute was art.
I agree why have they stop making shows like this just think how modernize they would be right now if they were still being made.
it itself was as a tribute was art
Facts
This is the only Gundam Series I've ever seen and hearing that voice again in the intro lowkey gave me chills. To this day I use the name Hiro for some stuff, and wore my hair in a braid like Duo for many years too, it honestly had a bit of an effect on what I thought was cool!
That's a shame, there are quite a few good gundam series. Iron blooded orphans is a good one if you don't wanna invest time in the universal century time line.
Being 38 this hits right in the feels. Coming home from high school and watching this everyday was so fun. I have some figures still and a couple Gundam models. My fav anime. Ahh good memories!
37 here brother. We were there!
35 signing in, still standing by for takeoff y'all.
Real OGs know that the episode was repeated at midnight but uncut.
Oh, my nostalgic heart. I used to watch this all the time as a kid. I swear Toonami had the best anime line up in the late 90’s early 00’s.
Some content creators stayed vigilant in uploading all the ads, promos and mid movie commercials here on UA-cam. There's a good playlist of the toonami music video / quote amvs too
@@abrammilner9560 yup you can pretty much find every old promo and intro to this day. He’ll you can even find most adult swim bumps from in between shows from the early 2000’s that a guy rips from his old vhs collection that he personally recorded back in the day and now uploads on UA-cam for us to watch. It’s actually pretty fun to see 😂😂 . I know our gen is getting older but we love our anime baby!!
There's one Anime I remember from that era on Toonami... one of the main characters was an android? They were going to some outer solar system planets... made me cry, it was so moving and the outro credits song was so sweet. If anyone could help me remember the name I would b happy
Could it have been Outlaw Star?
@@pariahx13 yes!! You are awesome! And the song that I've had in my head since I was 4 was from 'Ending B' . Discovering Anime at 4 y/o before even knowing what it is... I had never seen cartoons like THAT dawg
Anybody who is exclusively a “Universal Century Fanboy” needs to see that there is awesomeness in all corners of the gundam universe, like this here.
they're hurt by how much more popular _wing_ is. i personally don't care even the slightest bit about the universal century.
@@sirmoonslosthismind and you know what?? I like G Gundam! There! I said it! I like it! It’s dumb and it’s colorful and there’s a Gundam that’s also a windmill and I like all of it a whole lot!
I started with Wing and became a U.C. fan. I just love the entire franchise, period!
UC has almost all the good stuff. This series imo sucks.
UC supremacy. Sieg Zeon
This still gives me the chills. Shout to the creators of gundam, Tonamin and Per Cullen for being a boss voice actor.
Honestly, this trailer changed anime in the West forever. Sure, Gundam had been around for nearly 20 years and some material did trickle over, but once it was on Toonami, Mecha became mainstream and Gundam was its quintessential form.
Mecha was already mainstream, do you even know what getter robo is or mazinger? Doubt you even wanted to know about other mecha show, mecha isn't only about gundam. Man you basically speak without facts. Wings basically introduced more anime which is already popular through dragonball
@@sdworst7526 wow elitist much? like mech was around and im sure people who where big anime fans already they where aware but not everyone had gotten to die hard anime fan yet. i had been exposed to anime and knew of other mech anime i mean hell robotech was my first one loooooooong before toonami or pretty much any anime was mainstream but gundam wing was by far my jumping into the deep end moment i had been watching a few others like dragon ball z but after gundam i was hooked especially on mech anime.
@@sdworst7526 "do you even know what getter robo is or mazinger" Honestly doubt most American anime fans do. And more to his point, I and no one I knew did in the late 90s. The only mecha anime we'd seen in the states was Voltron and Transformers (and its copies). Gundam Wing was the first thing we'd seen that had a more serious take and that there was more of it out there.
@@kylie-chan wow correcting people is Elitist to you bet you called your teacher Elitist for correcting you
Wing is the series that got me into anime in general and Gundam specifically.
My very first Gundam anime. Wing got me in to Gundam.😎😎😎😎
Don't remember much from it. Is it worth getting into today?
@@mauriceisaac3646 In my opinion, It's still a good gundam anime to watch. I actually got into this anime way after it came out since this is almost 5 years older then me ( lol) and my Uncle is the one to introduced me to this anime. You should also check out Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory and Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.
@@williamvera5084 I’ll keep that in mind. What would you say are it’s best qualities?
@@mauriceisaac3646 One think I can think of right a way, is the old anime art style and battle scene.
@@williamvera5084 I’ll give a shot since I like the classic anime aesthetic and there’s not much newer stuff to look forward to these days. Thanks for the recommendation.
Some of my fondest childhood/young adult memories are simply coming home from school and playing PS1 while toonami/midnight run played in the background (every time I see or hear anything gundam wing I immediately associate it with endless nights of Parasite Eve and Final Fantasy Tactics). Would genuinely give anything to return to those days.
FFT was such a masterpeice. I will never forget Delita's struggle.
Man… playing FF9, Legend of Dragoon, or Chrono cross while listening to a DBZ marathon rerun in the background… those were the days…
@@horologyproject They were indeed! I feel blessed to have been a part of them, almost like the Hippies in their generation. We were *just* the right age to get the most out of the era. Cheers from the time of Doc Martins. o7
wow parasite eve....havnt heard that title in a long time :D
@@horologyproject Chrono Cross remaster is out this month, just in case you weren't aware.
Watching this after school at 4pm or 4:30pm in 2000 at your friends house while building the high grade 1/100th scale gundam model kits you bought from toys r us will always be one of the best moments in my childhood. My friend had these army green Legos and we'd build up mock tanks and stuff play with our gundam models and later those action figures that came out a few years later.
Oh man... I'm 11 y/o again. My parents had just gotten divorced and I was a miserable kid. But all that went away when I was watching Toonami, sometimes staying up all night with it! This trailer never got old. It was something special back then, and it absolutely holds up. Glad to know Toonami is still alive! Keep doing it!
Same here. My parents had separated(not divorced) when I was 11 and I was living with my Mom at the time. My Dad wouldn't allow TV in the house so I got to experience kid shows of the day for the first time. I still remember the exact order of the lineup Toonami had back in 2000. First was Ronin Warriors, then Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Universe, and finally Outlaw Star. Best lineup ever until the last two were replaced with the animated series of Superman and Batman later on. I really miss those days.
I wasn't 11, maybe around 14, but when this came out my parents where going through a separation and finally a divorce, which was really ugly and Toonami was my escape along with gaming.
It's amazing how we all have the same story and background 🥲
Same here. Wow.
This made me remember my sisters and I setting our VCR to record DBZ and other Cartoon Network, adult swim, and Toonami shows bc we’d get home late from school. Man, how times have changed, but these shows will always be amazing! Also, anytime I hear Steve Blum’s voice, nostalgia right there! I used to be self conscious about my deep voice, but Mr. Blum, thank you!
Thank you for crediting the editor, Jonathan Rej. This trailer had as much of an impact on me as the actual series did. Each time I managed to catch it being broadcast, I became fully absorbed. I really appreciate the remaster, and can now feel the satisfaction of adding this important piece of my childhood nostalgia to my collection in the best quality available.
Like so many here, Gundam Wing is the Gundam series that started it all for my love of the franchise. It feels like my childhood is coming back after seeing this.
Wing started my love of Gundam, but 0087: Stardust Memories solidified it.
gundam wing was first. G gundam was next
Endless Waltz is timeless...this was best gundam seiries!!
Nah
honestly 00 is like, trillion times better
dear god no, not even 10 top... but the models are cool tho
@@TheZooropaBaby 00 starts off like a masterpiece but slowly developing into a brainless drama
Pocket war is the best
I remember watching these air for the first time on Toonami. I am 34 so this was my first gundam series. I went back and watched all of them over the years. pure nostalgia
This is still ahead of it's time.
And we all can't get enough of it.
This was the very first Gundam series I watched and its still my favorite.
In the 90s, plots, characters, and graphics. They actually try to deliver a whole product. There is new stuff that still can beat toonami in the 90s.
You'd enjoy gundam 00 as well then, ot gives me the most gundam wing feels but it does have some cheesy stuff.
@@bahamutr4270 hmm. I will look into it. As I’m the same as the original commenter
Seeing this in middle school made it my all time favorite anime. I'm 33 now and I just fell in love again with how gorgeous this remaster looks. 😭😭
I’m so grateful for the people who put these things together and I don’t think anything else on tv at this time was as cool as toonami
1:31 "FOOLS!" loved to hear it every time
Aw, man! I gotta get home from practice so I can watch this at 5.5!
MAN I’m already 25 years old this hits so hard of nostalgia! I remember watching the gundam wing vhs when I was little and this trailer shown up on my tv it was so lit that I couldn’t get enough of it! I’m so glad it still stuck to my heart as a gundam wing fan and became a huge anime fan till this day!🤘🏼
A good friend of mine got me into this over 20 years ago. Top notch! Thanks Casey!
Sure you had sailor moon, Sure you had Dragon Ball, sure you had Ronin warriors , Robotech, Sci-fi channel etc. long Before But Gundam wing was really the first actual untapped anime title that introduced the whole idea of anime as a media To the mainstream west. And it’s the one that really open the doors for other titles and genres of anime To exist and Garner an appeal in the west.
Ronin Warriors was dope tho
@@a-listercrowley2737 Yeah I know. Btw all the episodes plus the ovas are available on retro crush in dub and sub

Theres no show ive rewatched more than Gundam Wing, its aged so well and still so enjoyable to watch
Teared up watching this. I was 21 when it premiered March 2000. Can’t believe 25 years have passed
this is such a core memory for me seeing this i love it.
i remember never once hearing about gundam until this aired on toonami and i remember seeing they even sold model kits and instantly started looking for kits and found a lil Japanese store that sort a bunch of everything including gundam kits. every since then i've built quite a few and love it so much.
Didn’t know Optimus Prime was in this universe
Gundam was before Transformers and both series aré diferents in designs and history
@@ichigosempai1323 Listen to the narrator dude. You missed the point.
Memories.... Patiently waiting on the tenchi muyo remastered trailer.
This hit hard! I remember having to tape these on VHS because I couldn't make it home in time after classes. I still hum the theme songs because the soundtrack was hella good.
I just had a nostalgia overload.
This wasn't just my introduction to Gundam. It was my introduction to anime, and to animation that told long serious stories. I can't overstate just how important Gundam Wing has been to me, and to how much it helped to shape the content that I most enjoy.
"Who would shoot a man after throwing him out of an airplane?"
Favorite Gundam ever. 😎
Can't be too careful, plus she probably didn't want blood on the plane ;p.
Just in case the fall didn't kill him
Because Colonel Lady Une is a savage and leaves nothing to chance.
"Perhaps he's wondering why shoot a man after throwing him out of a plane?" -Bane
Free target practice. She's gotta stay fresh.
Great Times! I remember watching this every afternoon when I got home from school!
Looking back at it 20 years later, this was the best thing about Gundam Wing.
Man the music and presentation in old Toonami trailers was so good. They were almost like watching AMVs before AMVs were a thing. I still have the DBZ Worlds Strongest commercial song stuck in my head to this day.
Had some great weekend nights tuning into G-Wing and Cowboy Bebop. Maybe they’ll make it to another Toonami wave again 🌊
Cowboy Bebop already is.
@@edtifa did Bebop ever go off Toonami/Adult Swim? Seriously, I think it’s always been on one block or the other these past 20 years and I’m not mad about it 😂
@@mattkennedy6115 it was off for a while but I think they reshowed it last year or so.
@@js5869 they show it once a year in a marathon format . I don’t think there has been a calendar year of adult swim where they haven’t aired it at least once. It’s the longest running show on the block
These Peter Cullen narrations never fail to be awesome. XD
Can't believe how much time has flown by ever since I saw this trailer growing up. This was the show that introduced anime into my life.
Good ol' memories of coming home from school and watching Gundam Wing, DBZ and Rurouni Kenshin.
Watched this trailer on tv over 20 years ago when I'd never seen an anime before. I'm now a life long gundam fan who has watched every Gundam series to date. Thank you Toonami.
If you had to name your top 3 Gundam series, what would they be?
I thought this show was just 20 years old. I didn't know it came out in '99. I've must have watched the reruns and didn't know
I'd like to know your Gundan series recommendations too! 😀
@@tsipliontsip OG Mobile Suit Gundam is number 1, Number 2 would be Gundam 00, and number 3 would be 08th MS team
@@zerocal76 my favorite of all time is the original one year war saga in Mobile Suit Gundam with Char and Amuro. Second would be Gundam 00. Third would be 08th MS team
Instant goosebumps. The rush to get home to watch this and other amazing anime. Nothing says afternoon nostalgia like Toonami in the 2000's.
Anyone that’s at least 30 this video is nostalgic af! So many days coming home from elementary to catch toonami. As well as when it moved to Saturday, then you had adult swim 😩 man those were the best years of my life
One of what I remember from Gundam is when man main character rewrite his Gundam programming code on battle using HTML tag. What a day.
A classic of my childhood, the first Gundam series I ever saw.
That was Gundam First Dub series on Toonami show's
This was the first anime I absolutely fell in love with, back in 1997, and it's still one of my faves to this day. Thank you, Toonami.
This was the first bit of Gundam that I've seen and what I remembered back then when I was extremely Young was Peter Cullen's Voice when I was a Baby
Getting back into building Gunpla after a 20+ year hiatus. Starting with the original 5 from this series, and watching this... it just feels right.
Gundam Wing means a lot to me!
Probably the reason I'm such a Gundam fan today, this show really was something else when I was a kid.
This was my first exposure to gundam as a kid. Peter Cullen's narration made me hyped for every show on Toonami
Little did I know drum n bass would be a music genre I would grow to love years later thanks to these trailers and jumps on adult swim/toonami.
Optimus Prime, ladies and gentleman!
So crazy to see this ad in such high definition. I loved this show when I was a kid. I caught almost every episode after school. Even the re-runs.
Side note: An awesome way to celebrate the anniversary would be to spill the beans on all of the track names for the old Toonami bumps/promos. There's one with a saxophone that I yearn for to this day. A saxophone and a jazz bass cello.
There's 3 albums released over the years with Toonami music. Deep Space Bass, Black Hole Megamix, and Supernova Megamix. The later two don't have track names though.
@@Spindash54 Thank you for the leads!
@@Spindash54 I’ve got deep space bass I didn’t know they had others!!
try Traffic by Amon Tobin
also there's a few sets of tracks that are unreleased that were done by Dangermouse. Good luck getting those. We all keep asking. Some of the Dangermouse tracks are on Blackhole and Supernova. But there are way more out there somewhere.
It's been 20-somethin' years since this commercial used to air yet I still could (almost) say it word for word as it went along.
God what i would do to go back and re live the days of original toonami and adult swim 😢
They don’t call it the “golden age of anime” for nothing my friend ;)
Never been crazy about how smudgy the AI up-scaling looks with remasters like this, but Peter Cullen brings it all back!
Currently we use a combination of Avisynth and AI but this was actually done before we even learned about AI. The term remaster is being misunderstood here. It's a remaster in terms of the actual trailer itself. Each clip was located and replaced with clips from the Region 2 DVDs. And I recreated the CGI parts at the end from scratch in After Effects.
@@SlimD716 neato!
@@SlimD716 Curious, why not use the official remaster from the Blu-ray release?
@@Spindash54 Metroidman7 did this one and he doesn't have the Blu-ray, just the Region 2 DVDs. Maybe one day we'll do it with the Blu-ray but probably not for a while.
@@SlimD716 Cool, thanks for the breakdown. Appreciate it.
Art is this anime is nostalgic and so detailed. You can literally feel the weight of the mobil suites as the move. 😭😭😭
It brings me back memories of Toonami ^^
I remember watching it both after school and after work back in 2000 when it started.
My first Gundam series to watch.
All the (custom beat-custom trailer based on cool shots and cool lines based on Toonami's understanding full viewing of the show) that they did for each show is so impresive now that I'm an adult.
This series made me a Gundam fan for life.
This trailer took my right back there. I haven't been hit with a wave of nostalgia like that very often. I think it has to do with that I never got super hard into Gundam so I had completely forgot about this one. Peter Cullen narration just does something to a man.
Man this sure does bring back memories and I remember watching this on toonami! Take me back to those times!
Man I miss these promos. Massive smack of nostalgia right there.
Can’t wait for this, Wing was one of the best series.
I remember watching Gundam and Robotech when I was a kid. It was broadcast on Channel-32 out of Chicago.
You mean FOX 32 Chicago, WFLD-TV.
@@Naminski1a Nope, it wasn't Fox in 1984s. It was just Channel-32.
@@theylied1776 Fox Broadcasting Company was launched in 1987 by 20th Century-Fox.
@@Naminski1a I know, I remeber the night they switched over. So again, they were not Fox-32 in 1984. It was just Channel-32.
