My favorite part of this op is how all the characters dance in front of the important wall of exposition like “Who gives a fuck, look at us dance!” It’s so good lol
Its pretty decent, though I watched it 15 years ago. Great world building. I think a modern analogue would be "Gardenia on the Verdurous Planet". Not the same but same vibe.
Lol, it was really serious, but at the same time light hearted. It wasn't like I was watching Gundam or something waiting for somebody to get killed every 10 seconds. I love watching shows knowing kids won't get murdered so much. Like how many people can't watch animals being hurt or killed a lot, I can't watch kids being killed over and over.
@@8MoneyIzmyMission8Tomino's Gundam was actually pretty light considering his other works. Victory was the worst but that's just because Tomino was at his worst during Victory. In other Gundam shows, they rarely kill main named characters especially after Victory. G Gundam, Gundam Wing, and Gundam X all had the main characters survive with X doing it in the best effect. Gundam X and Turn A Gundam being the most lighthearted of the shows while also still keeping in line their post apocalyptic settings.
I think he took them all at once. I love how tomino has no concept of moderation. It's either "depressing slog as dozens of likeable characters get emotionally traumatized and horribly killed every single week" or 'wacky dancing robot adventure party!'
@@RXdash78 the show isn't all that wacky. Its actually alot like ZZ gundam in that it front loads you with silly violence and fun set pieces, so in the back half when people actually die you have this weird moment of "wait.... That dude actually just got fucking wiped out,.... Thats fucked". I personally love this series so much.
Eli Smith couldn’t agree more, Gainer is such a hidden masterpiece that is way more deep and mature than you would think, and I love the main romance and how it wraps up that romance. Just great, amazing characters :)
Dear lord, I've been listening to this song for years but never actually bothered watching the show or the actual Opening, what a mistake, this is one of the greatest things mankind has ever made.
That's how we goaded Fukuyama into doing this song over Skype when the rest of JAM performed in Baltimore in 2012. Edit: Oh, no, the monkey dance before that.
Never seen this show but wanted to take a look at lesser known Tomino work. Looks like Tomino reused a lot of this imagery for the G Reco OP. The end bit with King Gainer "jumping" is exactly like the ending of the Turn A theme as well.
His daughter is a dance choreographer so I'm sure that's the source of the inspiration to some degree. All the little dances people do for the eye catches in reconguista are actually rotoscoped directly from his daughter.
I thought it was boring as fuck. It suffers a massive deal thanks to Tomino's hatred of exposition. It does a piss poor job of telling you anything about the characters or world or why you, the viewer, should care about any of it. This opening is the best part.
It was an awesome concept but not much was explained about the over skill or how the overman moves on its own and story wise was meh~~ but the song got me here 15 years after
@@youngkappakhan I love it because it was "boring as fuck". What I mean by that is that I loved its more calm, laid back type of approach to the mecha genre that is usually filled with drama and killing of many important characters.
0:47 So we got this background information of the show, we're putting it in the intro so folks can get a handle over- FUCK IT, WE'RE PUTTING SOMEONE DOING THE MONKEY OVER IT!
@@shaunttorosian8498 When the cast is saluting the robot at 1:06, and when Gainer is dressing up and pointing a gun at 0:36, similar to some parts of the first MSG opening.
I played Z2.2 and I was like who the hell is King Gainer? so I didn't use him for the majority of my first playthrough then on one stage I thought to myself I wonder if he was good and the sound King Gainer made when he flew got me hooked.

Good Times.
haha
I've never watched this series but this OP lives rent free in my head.
Hard same, 0:47 and onwards is incredible
Its pretty decent, though I watched it 15 years ago. Great world building. I think a modern analogue would be "Gardenia on the Verdurous Planet". Not the same but same vibe.
It’s cracked to fuck but a lot of fun. You’ll need a PHD in Tomino-speak to truly appreciate the autism of this show though
The fragments of it in my head is calling upon me to watch it again.
Same
The opening is so damn weird it will make you think it's a comedy. In actuality this show was serious as fuck and pretty good.

happy tomino is happy
I bet he finally took that funny pill medics had been telling him to take all these years..

The intro is wacky but the show is serious, even if not a lot if people die. Tomino likes misleading intros, see Victory Gundam.

Yoshiki Fukuyama + Kouhei Tanaka = King King King Gaineeeeer -dancing-
The dance bit at 0:57 looks SOOO good

It’s amazing
Maybe the budget went to this dance
The times when 360p was HQ in UA-cam. Almost 10 years have passed, holy shit
The DVDs were okay for the time. Found em dirt cheap in a discount bin at a Big Lots. Do not regret it.
i've been searching ages for this anime omg... rush of nostalgia

An awesome, completely underrated anime that features great characters and unique mecha. A shame it isn't more widely known in the US.

The most boss anime opening of all time.

You can't unsee this, nor would you want too...
Inspiration of Turn A, especially at the end.
Always count on Discotek to introduce you to obscure bangers
Thanks for uploading
These mech designs.... Shivers
everyone dies ❌
everyone lives ✅
i have yet to see this (it's next on my backlog) but i think this is one of the best openings of all time
So, did you see It?
This is probably the most Tomino op I've ever seen
Underated anime from the 2000's , I am feeling old now
Now I know where was the inspiration of Gundam G-Reconquista's opening and ending came from.
kenichi yoshida was the art director for both
Welcome.... :D wow even after all these months the opening is still more awesomer then ever
This in 0:47 is SOOO going to be stuck in my head for a couple of weeks, probably months
so many gundam references in this one op
Can someone make a list please?

@@shaunttorosian8498 The last movement at 1:25 is the same as Turn A Gundam, also by Tomino
...Tomino worked on this too what did you expect
This show is literally created by the person who made Gundam.
The intro song is soooooo catchy
I have nearly the whole series on dvd. Only missing the last two volumes.
I miss playing him in SRW Z2

1:22 If Gamecube controller was a mecha
This op is alot of fun
dude i saw your uploads U MY FRIEND YOU ARE AWESOME
THANK U FOR THE UPLOADS CHRIS :D
Shout out to Another Century's Episode for introducing me to this series.
Also, happy Tomino is best Tomino.
this character looks cool as hell

Still one of the best mecha/anime of the past 20 years
drsatanrx how
@@marc7248 look at what all has come out since 1999 and tell me that there are many better mecha/anime. Ill wait
Turn A is better then this
@@makepergaulan1852 they are both tomino shows. Only this one got the good animation
I was in love with this opening..... 💗 💗 💗
At 0:47 you see the crawl for the next Star Wars movie.
Maaaaqn childhood memories
Someone PLEASE re-license this before I buy the bandai collection
Sentai or discotek might. Looks up their alley to license. If not pray for your wallet on that bandai collection
Wish granted. Discotek is rereleasing this with the dub.
Im getting Turn A vibes
Well it *was* made by Turn A's creator.
Haha that bit at the end was so turn a
King king king Gainarrr...
Vers 2020 et au delà...😳
People are saying this is a bad anime so I'm going to watch it
It's a post apocalyptic nightmare, with slavery, people freezing to death and whatever... but there is always time for a silly dance. :P
0:57 If the relationship isn't like this, then I don't want it.
Es el pasito más prron que aya visto
1:19 this needs to be a meme!
My profile pic is currently Kamille, Fa, Haro, and Cha--Quattro doing the dance. Just sayin.
"Do the monkey with me! C'mon!"
Love this
Wait when does Archer show up
Mi ídolo bro gracias
0:47 holy cow Cutest Dance ever 😍

both were written by the same guy

KefkaJr One of Tomino's best, apparently.
Its like eurika 7 but doesn't shit the bed near the end.
Think of the best anime you've ever seen and multiply it by infinity.

I really like king gainer
Im genuinely annoyed this never got a season 2
found a game like this
Uploading the whole series on my page... english Dub except the intros and credits (prefer that way)
i hate that the only good video quality opening on youtube has terrible audio, and vice-versa. ugh
