5-0 out of 5 stars Where it all began...for me that is
This is a great DVD. It includes the first G Gundam episode I ever saw on Cartoon Network. That is Episode 9 Chapman's Heroic Challenge! All in all this is a great DVD with 4 strong episodes of G Gundam. It will make u want to buy the earlier episodes to get a beter understanding of things. It also leaves you with a great ending that will make you want to buy the next set of DVDs. So just buy it, ok.

3-0 out of 5 stars Ludicrous fluff, but carried off with a certain panache
Notice how by the second sentence of the box description quoted above, we're already hearing about Bandai's lust for merch: "With a full line of action figures and model kits, apparel, Playstation 2 video games, and other related merchandise - Experience Gundam like never before on DVD home video!"

G Gundam premiered in 1994. It was the first "Gundam" show to abandon the main, serious "Universal Century" (UC) continuity that had linked all previous Gundam series and movies. While UC series like Gundam 0083, Zeta Gundam, and Char's Counterattack all take place in historical relation to one another, with recurring characters and reference to past events, G Gundam, like Gundam Wing after it, is off in its own little universe.

G Gundam was also a big fat commercial ploy by Bandai to goose Gundam model kit and paraphernalia sales, which had been slipping since the lukewarm reception of Victory Gundam (1993-94).

The result is something like Gundam meets Street Fighter by way of Dragonball Z. Dozens and dozens of over-the-top Gundams representing the different space "nations" come together in the Gundam Fight. These "mobile fighters" all have ludicrous traits that represent their nations. E.g., the "Neo-Canada" entrant is called "Grizzly Gundam" (Lumber Gundam in Japan), and is built like a ... well, a lumberjack, with a big old mecha chainsaw on its back. Seriously. If you think that's wild, you need to check out the Mummy Gundam and the (yes) Mermaid Gundam, which transforms into a fish. Mermaid is actually an elegant design, in a too-many-psychedelic-mushrooms sort of way.

Each pilot has a special finishing move with his Gundam, and in the best PlayStation style, yells out the move as he does it! "Shining Finger!!" The main characters are a bunch of top Gundam fighters who come together in a playing-card-motif kind of club called (yes!) The Shuffle Alliance.

All of this is obviously a long way from the semi-realistic, gritty military drama of the original, UC Gundam shows. For that reason a lot of older fans despise G Gundam. They figure, with some justice, that it gives potential fans the wrong impression of what the other, more serious Gundam shows are like. (Gundam Wing's popularity with preteens likewise misled lots of people to think Gundam is about pretty-faced misanthropic boys riding invincible uber-Gundams and giving incomprehensible speeches about war and peace. Actually, most of the good UC shows are about military men and women piloting all-too-mortal mobile suits, and they contain some genuinely moving scenes.)

Me, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch G Gundam, but I gotta admit it plays out on TV somewhat better than it sounds. The fight choreography is excellent, if liberally laced with drama/cheese. Several cool technological tricks are unveiled, like the skintight movement-sensitive suits that the pilots wear inside their cockpits to direct the machines. The final God Gundam piloted by hero Domon Kasshu (Burning Gundam in the US) is a gorgeous mecha. Schwarz Bruder's "Neo-German" Gundam Spiegel (aka Shadow Gundam?) is also sweet. The actors manage to invest the campy mecha fights with passion. Rain Mikamura is a babe.

In sum, while there are a lot of more nutritious Gundam series out there, G Gundam offers decent brain and eye candy for fans.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Gundam fight begins.....
....and it gets of to a great start! The first episode of G Gundam is one of my most favorite. The first episode makes the whole DVD worth buying. The other episodes are great too. They do an excellent job of introducing the characters who will play a key role in the series. If you like good anime then pick this up TODAY!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Round 1
21 year old Domon Kasshu has to fight for his nation, Neo-Japan. His father and other son, Kyoji Kasshu has built a Gundam that is called the Dark Gundam. His bro, Kyoji goes to Earth in the Gundam. His mother was shot while she was protecting his son, Kyoji. Domon was tooken and has been told to fight for Neo-Japan for him to have his father back. His father is frozen since he has built the Dark Gundam. Domon has had a old child-hood friend named Rain Mikamura. She is 20 and she supports him in fights even if he doesn't need any. She is a doctor and well not exactly a Gundam Fighter. She fixes Shining Gundam whenever it needs repair. They meet Chibodee Crocket, George DeSand,Argo Gulski and Sai SaiCi.

5-0 out of 5 stars G Gundam
How should I start... Ok, There is a 21 year old man named Domon Kasshu. He has to become a Gundam Fighter for his nation, Neo-Japan. This is because his mother was shot and his brother, Kyoji has gone to earth with a Gundam called, The Dark Gundam. The nation froze Domon's father since he and Kyoji created the Dark Gundam. Now if Domon Kasshu wants to save his father he must win the Gundam Fight. He is also assisted by a 20 year old women named, Rain Mikamura. Her father, Dr. Mikamura has been very good friends with Dr. Kasshu. Rain Mikamura helps Domon when he is on Earth. She fixes the Gundam, Shining Gundam when it has to be repaired. She has a feeling for Domon but she won't tell him. Domon is known as the King Of Hearts. This is becuz his master, Master Asia, who has trained him to be a fighter. So Master Asia pasted down the crest. Well hope that helps you!

4-0 out of 5 stars Not the best introduction, but still a good series
Let me just say I love G-Gundam. I think it's the freshest mecha series I've seen in awhile and a change from the norm of Gundam sagas. However, the first few episodes might leave a few viewers confused.

CHARACTERS
Domon Kashu: Neo-Japan's fighter and the "King of Hearts" (explained later on).
Rain Mikamura: Domon's assistant and medical expert.
Chibodee Crocket: Neo-America's fighter.
Sai Saichi: Neo-China's fighter.
George Dissan: Neo-France's fighter.

This story takes place in the year Future Century 60. In order to decide which nation will control outer space, a tournament is held every four years to decide which nation gains control of Earth. However, most of this won't come into much play until the second half of the series.

Episode 1 (B+): Domon and Rain go to Rome to fight Neroes Gundam and also save the life of a young girl.

Episode 2 (B): Domon is off to Neo-America to fight Gundam Maxter, but the government has other plans.

Episode 3 (B-): Domon must bring back the Dragon Gundam from a bunch of Chinese smugglers.

Episode 4 (B+): Domon helps a young girl gain the respect of Geroge Dissan by making Domon kidnap her in order to draw out the Rose Gundam.

The English dub has the names of some of the Gundams switched, but that doesn't come up in this first volume. Domon's voice sounds very realistic and actually does more justice to his character. The English dub of Rain is done perfectly and makes her personality seem less cutesy.

The menu for scene selection is cleverly setup as a map of the world, but it is a little hard to select from there. The only extra on this disc is an interview with the original director making comments on the episodes and why they were setup that way.

Overall, this first volume won't automatically draw fans into it, but it is worth watching as the series goes on. In other words, if you buy this volume, make sure you are willing to buy the entire series. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars My least favorite Gundam DVD....
but that isnt saying its not good. It is good and i like this DVD. Just that Episodes 6 and 7 i dont like that much. Episode 6 confuses me very much and I have seen every Gundam episode and I dont get it. Episode 7 i just dont like for some reason. To me it doesnt make much sense at all. Though Episodes 5 and 8 pick up the slack. 2 Argo episodes and Argo is my 2nd favorite character next to Domon so it more than makes this DVD worth buying.

5-0 out of 5 stars excellent series
this series is excellent while it does not posess the dramma and serious nature of other gundam seres it is still and excellent series and should not be missed ( and koodos to bandi for being able to switch audio tracks on the fly in these dvd) ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Final Chapter in a long, sad running
Domon is such a tool! But you have to love him anyway. He gallantly blasted off to save the day, after being prodded and pushed by his friends of course. Rain, who is for all intents and purposes a smart woman, leaves because she is guilty about the sins of her father. We love you Rain, it doesn't matter that your father is a punk! Then the Earth is pratically maimed by the DARK GUNDAM, oh my! Can't that thing ever die??? Guess it can, cuz I want a happily ever after to come out of this!

5-0 out of 5 stars Batlles outside of the ring...
After 11 discs which crisscrossed the plot of the Gundam Fight and the Devil Gundam, the former is now finally over. One of the Shuffle Alliance has become the champion (guess who?) and it looks like life will return to normal...sadly, not so. After the revelations of the last disc, Rain has decided that it would be better if she and Domon never saw each other again. Domon avoids this issue until he receives an SOS from Dr Mikamura- the Devil Gundam is back and it's after Rain! Domon heads off to the Neo-Japan colony to rescue her but is attacked by Wong in the Walter Gundam. The former ruler has now been DG cell infected and is determined to take revenge on Domon and claim the Devil Gundam again for himself. Domon receives a final gift from Master Asia- Fuunsaikii, his noble steed. Domon returns and easily defeats Wong and then heads into space for his final battle with the Devil Gundam. Behind him are the rest of the SA and the other surviving fighters... G goes out with a bang. On this disc are some of the show's finest episodes. You'll see why us fans of the original version think Devil Gundam fits Domon's nemesis MUCH better then Dark Gundam and some of the best acting from the Japanese cast, especially Seki Tomkazu's incredible job as Domon. ...

Let me just say I love G-Gundam. I think it's the freshest mecha series I've seen in awhile and a change from the norm of Gundam sagas. However, the first few episodes might leave a few viewers confused.

CHARACTERS
Domon Kashu: Neo-Japan's fighter and the "King of Hearts" (explained later on).
Rain Mikamura: Domon's assistant and medical expert.
Chibodee Crocket: Neo-America's fighter.
Sai Saichi: Neo-China's fighter.
George Dissan: Neo-France's fighter.

This story takes place in the year Future Century 60. In order to decide which nation will control outer space, a tournament is held every four years to decide which nation gains control of Earth. However, most of this won't come into much play until the second half of the series.

Episode 1 (B+): Domon and Rain go to Rome to fight Neroes Gundam and also save the life of a young girl.

Episode 2 (B): Domon is off to Neo-America to fight Gundam Maxter, but the government has other plans.

Episode 3 (B-): Domon must bring back the Dragon Gundam from a bunch of Chinese smugglers.

Episode 4 (B+): Domon helps a young girl gain the respect of Geroge Dissan by making Domon kidnap her in order to draw out the Rose Gundam.

The English dub has the names of some of the Gundams switched, but that doesn't come up in this first volume. Domon's voice sounds very realistic and actually does more justice to his character. The English dub of Rain is done perfectly and makes her personality seem less cutesy.

The menu for scene selection is cleverly setup as a map of the world, but it is a little hard to select from there. The only extra on this disc is an interview with the original director making comments on the episodes and why they were setup that way.

Overall, this first volume won't automatically draw fans into it, but it is worth watching as the series goes on. In other words, if you buy this volume, make sure you are willing to buy the entire series. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars My least favorite Gundam DVD....
but that isnt saying its not good. It is good and i like this DVD. Just that Episodes 6 and 7 i dont like that much. Episode 6 confuses me very much and I have seen every Gundam episode and I dont get it. Episode 7 i just dont like for some reason. To me it doesnt make much sense at all. Though Episodes 5 and 8 pick up the slack. 2 Argo episodes and Argo is my 2nd favorite character next to Domon so it more than makes this DVD worth buying.

5-0 out of 5 stars excellent series
this series is excellent while it does not posess the dramma and serious nature of other gundam seres it is still and excellent series and should not be missed ( and koodos to bandi for being able to switch audio tracks on the fly in these dvd) ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Where it all began...for me that is
This is a great DVD. It includes the first G Gundam episode I ever saw on Cartoon Network. That is Episode 9 Chapman's Heroic Challenge! All in all this is a great DVD with 4 strong episodes of G Gundam. It will make u want to buy the earlier episodes to get a beter understanding of things. It also leaves you with a great ending that will make you want to buy the next set of DVDs. So just buy it, ok.

5-0 out of 5 stars The turning point for G Gundam
This is where it starts to get REALLY good. It gets very addictive from here on in. When i first saw these episodes on Cartoon Network, I could barely wait until the next day for the next episode. I dont know how a show could be so good. I must really thank Cartoon Network for introducing me to these great shows through Toonami. ... Read more
