They've officially messed up my Saturday night viewing schedule. Both Samurai Jack and Rurounin Kenshin aren't on. And for what? Some stupid Bionicle movie....

[Carl]

well, since all three of those are gay, it doesn't matter.

[phreak]

CN is only good for Family Guy/Futurama/Sealab/ATHF

yeah...I can't believe that **** either...now i'm going to have to leech all the kenshin episodes off of phobos

[.::Tin Can::.]

Adult Swim is the one most important thing on that network...

[Thorn]

Apparently theyre playing the Animatrix right now...

[Grey Wolf]

Yeah. At least I managed to get in some time watching someone fight with a katana (the beginning of "Final Flight of the Osiris"). And Gundam Seed, while not up to the level of Gundam Wing, isn't half bad.

[JR2000Z]

Animatrix is cool.

Gundam SEED

I want to know why everybody compares any new Gundam to GWing?  GWing is one of the crappier Gundams,  far below the Perfection that is 0083: Stardust Memory or The 08th MS Team.

[Grey Wolf]

Because we like Gundam Wing. In the eyes of many, Gundam Wing was the best out of all the Gundams to date.

[Liberator]

It's dull, except for some bits in the middle and at the end.  It never had the frenetic feeling that the entire Earth Sphere may be destroyed at any moment.  

I like Wing, it's the first Gundam show I ever saw and for that reason it will always have a special place in my heart.  It had some good mecha designs and was decent enough to watch, but it's too preachy on the pacifist stuff, which really kills the mood of a show about Giant White Death Dealing Robots at War.

[an0n]

And no-one seems to have commented on the fact that GW's Saturday night consists of watching cartoons.

How many gundam series have you seen, actually?  W was one of the least inspired

[Taristin]

0083 was the one and only true Gundam for me. Everything else was like kids shows to me...

[delta_7890]

Hear hear!  0083 is possibly my favorite Gundam saga, right up there with 08th MS Team and Char's Counter-Attack!  Gundam Wing...it will always have a fond place in my heart, as it was my first Gundam, and really, Anime series I loved and watched.  SEED is far superior, at least the first half/three-quarters, but really, the fansubs are better than the butchered garbage on CN.

EDIT: Post was slightly rushed.  I'm a huge, huge fan of Gundam.  It's my favorite anime and mecha universe, ever.  I much prefer the Universal Century to the Alternate Universes, in most cases.  0083 is my favorite series.  Not only for the incredible designs (The GP series, especially GP01 and GP02A are my favorite Gundams.  Physalis was completed on my birthday.  ^^;  September 18th, 0083.  Dom Tropen, Xamel, Gerbera Tetra.) but the story is really something else.  It does an incredible job of connecting 0079 with Zeta.  The characters are very believable.  Kou Uraki, the naive rookie Federation pilot, and Anavel Gato, the Zeon ace, whose morals are blinded by his ideals and followship of Delaz.  Love, corruption, betrayal, it's all there.  08th MS Team is also among my favorites, for those same reasons.

As far as Wing and SEED are concerned...  Wing isn't horrible, but it's far from good.  It seemed a lot more like a fan-girl pleaser than anything else.  However, it was my first Gundam series, and before seeing anything of the UC timeline, I thought it was incredible.  SEED is great as well, especially the first half.  Some people consider it to be too slowed in its pace, but I thought it was excellently done.  Towards the end however, it becomes so frantic and so confusing.  There are far too many "major" characters, and as a result, some seem to just kind of fade out of the spotlight.  I could go on for quite a while about this.  You'll just have to see it for yourself.  I did watch the first episode last night.  The dubbing is surprisingly decent, but I'll always like the Japanese VAs more, just because I'm so used to them.  I was also appaled that they butchered the ending theme and credits.  That theme is among the best I've ever heard, and I was saddened to see it cut so short.  Ah well...  Hopefully the DVDs will make up for it.

[Liberator]

You're sad they butched the ending?  They left the beginning completely out and it's better.

[Knight Templar]

Jackie Chan/Futurama/Family Guy

And shut the **** up liberator, Jackie Chan Adventures rocks your world.

[Flaser]

Speaking of Adult Swim - which can't be watched here, they had Blue Gender on - which is an absolute blow IMHO - though I only saw a fansubbed version, so I have no idea what the dub was like.

Did any of you saw that?

[Nico]

Blue Gender? Hell yeah
One of my favourite scifi anime, with mecha design the way I like them, and muchos, muchos gore
That's how starship troopers should have been. The second half isn't as great, tho. It's very good, but the first half was really something, so it suffers from the comparison imho.

I doubt this series has any chance of being aired on french TV, but since we have the DVDs already, who cares
