*sees stardust memory in the b tier*
Reality is often disappointing
*sees Thunderbolt as an s tier*
But this does put a smile on my face

Kakarot197: "G-Savior, don't watch it. For any reason."

Me, holding the DVD of G-Savior I just bought today for $9:

[kakarot]

I'm totally not late to the party with this meme!
Edit: I fucked up and forgot Narrative, I'll include it in the next video. Turn A wasn't an oversight because it's a special case lol.


Next week will be a more typical video (development history, list video, ...)

I really liked Unicorn Gundam's digging into the heart of the UC series story and showing us how the whole EFSF corruption thing started, more observations of the human condition and other philosophies, why colonizing space didn't go as well as many thought it would, and its explaining of how Newtypes fit into all of it.
But I definitely agree the Newtype powers, aka shenanigans, thing went way overboard. If the Newtype powers thing was toned down, I'd say it deserved A or A/B at least

[Alexzander]

You do realize that now you're gonna have to do one for the alternate timelines right? =)

[spikesagitta]

I love that G-saviour doesn't even have a picture XD

[MrMonty]

Interesting choices Kakarot. I don't agree with every placement but it's cool to see your favourites.

[jakealter]

At least the newtype antics of unicorn actually work since most of the machines used by the main characters were built with psycho frames (which boost the power of newtypes)

[nurfirmansyah]

First gundam, the origin, & Thunderbolt. They're just incredible

[natester]

I'm glad you enjoyed thunderbolt that much I'm a huge fan of the manga it's my fave series:)

[silverwolf]

Honestly, I love dem Newtype shenanigans... give's me that star wars feel

[ZonoYT]

Do you plan on doing a tier list on the alt. gundam shows?

[thezucc]

Ah, going with the 8-bit version of the CCA theme. A man of culture, you are.

[DJRonnieG]

I really liked Victory Gundam. A minor shame that Tomino was forced to include weird enemy units so that Bandai could sell toys but the premise is sound.

Former or retired Anaheim engineers running underground factories for the League Militaire yields a mass-produced Gundam. Building the model is like getting a 3 for 1 deal because of core fighter modes.

V2 and V-Dash are among the most advanced and modern mobile suits of the UC timeline.

[hitokirij]

I actually like the ‘newtype stuff’, since it is a sci-fi anime. Not when it gets ridiculous but the concept and basic idea is cool to me, kinda like pilot force sensitives

[Jcc]

The Origin, Unicorn, and 08th are S Tier for me. When "Beginning" played in Unicorn when they were revisiting important UC events, I almost cried.

I'm also probably the only person on earth that actually preferred ZZ over Zeta, so...

[kiryusannagi]

like what I've thought, Gundam Franchise is very successful because most of it's series is good, even Great. so I definitely agree with your list there.
only one thing bugged me that G reco considered as UC while Turn A is actually more deserve that place.

[thearisen]

Video series idea!

Design or talk about how you would design an MS for various levels.
- Ace level unit, could be a main character MS or one of the various aces encountered like Black Tri-Stars or Char level
- Commander level unit, MS for someone like Lt Berning from Stardust
- Special forces, something like Unicorn introduced
- Grunt, your ideal basic tier MS

[angem.]

Please do one with the other timelines!!!, I’d rank Unicorn and Zeta on S tier and for G reco, F91 and victory I haven’t seen them yet but I’m really looking forward to it!

[RagDollRat]

08ms is easily my favorite, its gritty and awesome
