| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, the production of "Mobile Suit Gundam" - a series I will probably never jump into due to the vast amount of content it has. The key frames are interesting to look at. |
 |
| Don't really understand why 35 year-old key-frames are being shown off besides the geek-factor Gundam has in Japan. I thought this was supposed to be a spotlight on new animators? StevenHu said: Ah, the production of "Mobile Suit Gundam" - a series I will probably never jump into due to the vast amount of content it has. It's divided into many manageable pieces...the first series is only 43 episodes, and the best series, Gundam 0080, is only six. There isn't even that much in the way of connections between even the ones that use the same setting, let alone the ones that just use "Gundam" as a marketing brand. |
| Weakest episode of the series so far; only presenting the key frames of "Mobile Suit Gundam." I was expecting something unique. |

I have a personal guideline to watch as well as finish the entirety of series in chronological release order whenever possible, so it becomes very much unmanageable for me if I do choose to start watching the "Gundam" franchise. |

A lot of the clips were from Encounters In Space so it's not all 35 year old animation, some of it's 32 years old :p Personally I recommend the movies instead of the TV series for reasons of canon and cutting down on some of the stuff the toy company basically forced into the series that is now de-canonized. |
| I don't know about the old Gundam anime, but this reminds me of Voltes V. |
 |
| I like gundam and all but this was kinda pointless, definitely the worst episode thus far |

The movies are better than the TV series (and the Gundam: The Origin manga is better than both), but being so interested in "canon" is fruitless nerdiness. It's not like the discrepancy between the movie and TV version of the story are brought up by any other Gundam story. And now I've written a whole post that doesn't actually have anything to do with the piece of animation we watched. Shows how interesting it was, I suppose. |

| Seven minutes of nothing but Gundam clips and storyboards. Horrendous. |

| Never seeing Gundam this would be better if the re-done animation was done in full screen. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| That was kinda nice, not as good as other episodes, but still interesting, and it´s nice to see how the how anime is made. I should already watch Gundam. Also, nice, Nihon Animator Mihonichi just got into top 1000 anime on MAL and is also 10th best rated ONA. |

You all need to watch Nami. |

| they should remake this first gundam series in glorious modern animation already |

I think that's supposed to kind of be the point though in a way. j0x said: they should remake this first gundam series in glorious modern animation already Gundam the Origin is sort of kind of that |
| What was the point of this? |
| I do watch the most strangest things... right? |
| This was cool, I haven't seen any Gundam (yet) but it sure makes me want to start the original. Episode Five: http://animatorexpo.com/gensatsu_gundam/ |
| With all the bitching about animation here on mal, you'd think people would find this interesting... |
 |
| This episode is making me miss the original Gundam series. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Gundam creation episode were ok :) |
 |
| I was funny watching this today, when earlier today I finished the second 0079 compilation movie. But that's some classic animation. Computer drawn just isn't the same thing. |
 |
| It's interesting to see how make an anime from the drawing, but for that Shirobako is better. This one was a little boring. |
| I disappoint. It didnt even have the iconic bright slap. |
| It interesting to see the key frames of the original Gundam but I do wonder what was the point of this. Ah well, still a good 'tribute'. |
 |
| This felt... misplaced. After last night's Whitebox episode, I was slightly more interested in key frames but overall this wasn't very captivating. |

| Interesting watch from a technical point of view, my least favourite of the bunch so far though because it wasn't that entertaining. I'd have liked to still watch this but not inside this animation showcase :P |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Well, that was pointless. Interesting seeing the keyframe storyboards along side the finished product. I really should watch the original gundam one of these days... |
  |
| Am I the only one who thinks that those still frames are better than the animated ones? |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| I couldn't even watch it in one go, so boring it was. Good thing it's not that long at least... |
   |
| And this is exactly why I hate Gundam THAT WAS FUCKING BORING |
| Awww, a bit touching even. Loved it. |
 |
| There is not much there but it was certainly nice to see those key frames side by side actual animation and read how they did animation back then. |
| DAMN THE SPOILERS! Seriously though, I should still watch mobile suit gundam and with this awesome episode filled with key art, I sure am more interested in the series! |
 |
| Interesting way of showing their work, the work itself is not really my style though. Least favourite work so far. |
 |
| Having never seen Gundam before, that was more interesting than I expected. Making me feel the urge to start Gundam sooner too. |
 |
| I found this episode searching for some Anno's Gundam related works. Currently reading The Origin, I found Hideaki Anno's piece of text at the end of the first hardcover volume so it is not a surprise to see this short key frames showcase assembled by Anno and included in this collection. Strangely, I felt something was missing in each animated rendition of Amuro and Sayla, compared to their nice portrayal in the key-frames. |
| Oh wow, that was a real treat. I'm so happy I went through Mobile Suit Gundam before this. Not too much to say for this episode, but I'm always amazed at the differences between the initial planning stages and the final product for any anime. Mobile Suit Gundam is no exception here, as the difference between simple line work and call outs for movement to all the flash and liveliness of the anime is present even in this 1970s series. It really makes me appreciate the work that goes into present-day anime even more with the translation from hand to computer. |
| Gosh, the first Gundam anime was so good... and then I tried getting into Zeta and it just wasn't doing it for me anymore. Looking at this again, though... I can really see some of the reasons why I loved that first series. Part of me wants to go through all of the Universal Century timeline, just to see it through properly... but part of me also just wants to skip ahead to the really critically acclaimed stuff like War in the Pocket or 08th MS Team. |

| Gensatsu Gundam. Gundam lovers will surely appreciate it also cartoonists too, because the images on the left are sketches very, very interesting. Enjoy it, like I did. G:3 -BM:1 - U:1 -- Gensatsu Gundam. Los amantes de Gundam seguramente lo agradeceran, además los dibujantes también, ya que las imágenes de la izquierda son bocetos muy, pero que muy interesantes. Disfrutadlo, al igual que he hecho yo. M:3 - H:1 - I:1 |
| Scenes from Gundam. |
 |
| I'm not really a fan of Gundam but seeing the how the hand-drawn animation works is a little interesting to say the least. But compared to the other entries, this looks a tad out of place. |
 |
| =D Always cool to see the roughs. Reminds me of my high school days. |
 |
| Dat old school music. It sounds familiar. Oh snap. It's MSG. I wasn't expecting that. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Haven't seen Mobile Suit Gundam yet, but it's on my To Watch list, so I skipped this once I realised what it was. |
| Meh... ...again I say, Meh! |
 |
on 
| quite interesting storyboarding and pleasant musical interludes heheheh |
