 Now on DVD but all the original sound effects are gone! January 19, 2005

These movies are required viewing if you are interested in the Gundam canon. It's where the series began and is what revolutionized the big robot anime genre. I never watch dubs, they just can't seem to get the right emotions or tone of the original japanese. Also, about 90 percent of dubs are from Canadian studios, so you get an all Canadian cast accents and all. My biggest gripe of this set is the original sound fx have been replaced with generic explosions and other nondescript sounds. This may sound trivial at first, but imagine if the Star Wars DVD set came out and the TIE fighters sounded like f-16 as they flew by. Or all the laser blasts sounded like electric arcs rather than that familiar ping sound. This is what the all important "5.1" remix did for this set. As someone who watched the movies on tape with the original sound effects before DVD, the whole experience is ruined by this new mix. The studio should have included an alternate audio track with the old mix on it. There is a stereo mix, but it's just the new 5.1 mixed down to 2.0. The same thing happened with Robotech Remastered by the way. If you don't care about the sound effects being different then go ahead and pick it up. I'll be selling my set cheap.

This is a nice Movie set, and a must have for Gundam Fans, but it is old Anime, late 70's or early 80's.
The thing that I don't like about the DVD, is it does not have English dubbing, Just Japanese with English sub.
check it out April 25, 2004

gundam first started in 1979. this is a mixing of all the episodes, every 42 of them. in the time frame where the series is set, there are over 9,000,000,000 people living on the earth, in an attempt to avoid to much population, scientist create these giant cylinders where people can live,and house a percentage of the population.these cylinders are referred to as 'colonies'.these colonies orbit around the earth and the moon.the earth-wide government known as the 'earth federation' rules over the colonies. a group of colonies called 'side 3' declare independance, and at the same time war, on the earth. they use advanced technology, and these giant 50 ft. tall robots known as 'Mobile Suits' to wage war.youd think that theyd jsut shoot nuclear missles, but no,nuclear missles are useless in this setting(due to interfearance with radar). After seeing these machines in action, the earth realizes they need some too, after both sides, lose half of their population, they sign an agreeement not to use poison gas, biologiacal weapons, etc. The earth finally gets its own set of mobile suits that are much more then a match for those of side 3, aka Zeon. this series is one of my favorites. there are unbelievable fighting scenes, as well as an interesting plot line. you can notice how each character changes as well. seeing the mechanical designs is amazing, this is worth the money
