Well, maybe it's not exactly the quality everyone may look for when it comes to DVD, but it is still presented in viewable quality. The video quality allows to give the anime to utilize it's colors and animation for your television screen.

If you play it on your regular TV, you may have to turn it up a bit. But with your surround sound set, the fights will take you into their world. The music perfectly reflects the intensity of the situation (whether it would be the build up or the fight itself) and the seiyuus do a good job of bringing the characters to life. You just gotta love Chibodee's way of always calling Domon a Japanese. But regretfully, my box set only had the Japanese audio. Zannen da na to the dubbies who are interested in getting this boxset.

This is pretty much one of the first alternate universe Gundam series ever created. In one of the last few episodes of this series, you'll probably be able to find the Wing Gundam since it aired a week after G Gundam ended. If you like Street Fighter, Dragon Ball, or martial arts in general, this is an anime I highly reccomend to you all.

Video is great for this series. Rip for a good source (most likely LD). No noticeable drop in quality, even though there are 10 episodes a disc. Excellent job on the video quality.

Audio comes across nice and clear. No distortion at all, even with all the shouting and screaming. Great job in this department, too.

G-Gundam has always been one of my favorite Gundam series. I find it to be one of the bests anime ever. It's the first AU Gundam series, and was a nice change from all the war fighting UC series. Thing that always had me peeved were people saying this was just DBZ with Gundams. People who haven't even seen G-Gundam. It's not. It's probably the most emotionally charged Gundam sereis of them all. Love, friendship, pride, etc. It's all in this show. Enough rambling, on to the show itself. 5 discs, with 10 episodes each disc. Quite alot, but no video loss at all, so I'm fine with that. Not all the openings and endings are here. From the old VHS fansubs I had, they missed the second version of the opening with the original song. It featured the 5 main Gundams of the series. As for the second opening they use, it's the one where the song switches. Don't know if theres many versions of this one. Opening and endings song are subbed. Except the second version of the ending. It's subbed... but... not how it should be. YOu see, they, for some reason, used the subs belonging to a next episode preview for the second endings subs. It's kind of wierd if you sing along with the japanese using the English subs about Neo India's Gundam... Opening is before the first episode, ending is after the last episode. Following the ending is the next episode preview for the first episod eon the next disc, so you get to see what the next episode previews are like. Subbed, too. On the last disc, the names get wierd spellings. Pure Romanji spelling. Meaning Shwartz becomes somthing like Sawaratsu. YOu can make the names out though, so it's no biggy. I recall two misspelled Gundam names. John Bull Gundam (piloted by Gentlemen Chapman) is called Jumble Gundam, and Walter Gundam is called Motor Gundam I think. Don't let two misnamed detract form your viewing, though. Eyecatches are present. Both of them. Japanese writing will be subbed if it's not mentioned in the dialogue. Example, it will say "Neo Japan Colony." If no one says "Hre on Neo Japan, blah blah blah" it will be subbed. Somthing neat about the menus. Each one will have a little animtion. Really, really, poorly done animation featuring the official artwork, but still fun to watch. That about covers everything I beleive. Great show, for fans of Gundam, and anime fans all together!

Studio: Manga International Episodes: 1-49 Video: 4/5 Good but slightly dark, probably because it's an older, hand-drawn series. Audio: 5/5 No problems here. All of Domon's screaming was intact, so good points. ^_^ Subtitles: 4.5/5 Fansub sourced for the most part, so it was quite excellent. They seemed to be fond of "So Noisy!" instead of "shut up", but it's workable. Some minor mistiming and mispelling here and there but overall, not bad at all. Chaptering: Episode to episode, no breaks. Bonuses: None. Menus: Animated, BGM. Play All, Chapters, Subtitles, English and Chinese. Content: The OPs were cut out after the first ep on each disc, Impression: Great set of an enjoyable show.

Wow! Almost perfect fansub script on this baby! For all 52 episodes too! The video was okay (probably sourced from an LD), and the audio was pretty good too, but I'm telling you, the subs are reeeeeally good. They tend to translate "Shut up" as "SO NOISY!!" though a bit too often, but that's my only gripe :) This is probably the most fun Gundam series ever made (now and future). The director/writer of Giant Robo did this and it shows. Lot's of his trademark storytelling involved.

Video: 5/5- Great video, very clear with vivid colors.

Audio: 5/5- Wonderful audio, no buzzing at all, no problems with distortion.

This is a wonderful series, one of the best i've ever seen. I couldnt stop watching, i ended up finishing it in 3 days. Video: 5/5- Great video, very clear with vivid colors. Audio: 5/5- Wonderful audio, no buzzing at all, no problems with distortion. Subs: 4.5/5- Extremely good, definately a fan sub. NO engrish at all, all names are correct (except in episode 40) i wish i had bought this instead of my friend.

When I heared about this series, I was a bit pissed off. You know, being a Gundam fan, it wasn't easy to stomach the idea of gundams fighting DBZ style. But surprisingly, the show is very good. I enjoyed it alot. The mixture of gundam and super robots worked very well in this case. I recommend this to any gundam fans who want a break from the usual Gundam universe, and to action fans in general. The DVDs themselves are well done. Audio and video qualities are very good (4-4.5 stars) and the subs are above average (fan subs).

sweet LD rips, better then VHS tapes lol. Audio is what you expect from most releases, its good, no surround sound but you can't expect that from something not even officially released on DVD in Japan yet. As everyone says, its fansubbed, no straining your brain trying to decipher what the characters said. If you like Suoer robots battling in a 1970ish way then you will like this show. But it is a bastardization of the original Gundam so I can't guarantee you will like it, but don't bash it until you've seen it is what I always say.

Definitely a good set to buy. Good video, audio and subs. If you are a giant robo fan, its giant gundam robo. It kind of reminded me of the early 80's robot show. Defintely an alternate universe from the Gundam series. A good buy and a fun set to watch.

Video - 4/5 --------------------------- Very pleasing... Very much indeed. Before buying the set I had episodes 1 through to 5 in Real Media format and quite frankly it sucked. Seeing the video on this really made my day and I noticed so many things I didn't before. No problems for me. Sound - 4/5 -------------------------- I love the theme to G Gundam, it rocks. Listening to it here is wonderful, the sound does it's job more than enough. No hum, no hiss basically it doesn't take the piss (heh). Should please everyone. Subtitles - 4/5 ------------------------- Great, simply put. Does a wonderful job and must be from a fansub thanks to the clarity of them and the general little fansub type errors. Nothing major, one of the bet sets out. Wonderful show, it has everything you want. It has a great intro, high cheese factor, big robots, what more do you need. Buy!

Well first of all to correct something from the previous poster. There is NO engrish in this set. This uses ALL fansub scripts here, so any errors are just sub replication errors such as forgetting a word and such. The fansub ads appear every once in a while. The video seems to be from an LD, good stuff, no real problems here :) . Not as vibrant as you might want, but at times some dark scenes seem kinda grainy. Also as with many sets that stick alot on one disc, you get some pixelation in high motion scenes. This is a normal thing that appears in most TV series HK sets. Audio, well nothing of note here. Good, no problems at all. Subs: The subs are fansubs, seen most of these episodes fansubbed and its the same scripts. Good stuff, very good subs with errors in replication of the subs here and there, but nothing big. There are two things to note, and one that will confuse some. First of all, I believe it was episode 12 that has a problem where for half the episode the subs lag as it seems the subber forgot one sub, so all the subs appear one line ahead of what is being said on screen. This sucked, ruined an almost perfect set to me. Its only for 10 minutes, so its not that big of deal though. Also another that might cause some to say its HK original since its different, for episode 40 I believe it was, the script they used was from a different source. It still IS fansub script, the thing is the translation is different of course. Names are spelt different and some attacks and gundam names don't get translated as the subber used the Japanese name for them. Its not wrong, and the subs are still very good. Some people will see the different spelling for some characters names and think it was an HK error, but its not, its just a different fansub translation was used. I suppose they couldn't find a script by the same source as the others. Very good set, highly recommended.

Video: The video on this set is beautiful, didn't notice anything wrong with it while watching. Audio: I'm not really an audoiophile, but everything sounded great to me, no errors or antyhing like humming or crackling. Subtitles: Now this is the part everyone probably wants to read, the subs on this set are awesome. There are only very few that go off the screen. Theres also no engrish, I was really amazed. The only problem is that towards the end of the series a few chracters names change, but this only lasts about 1-2 episodes i think, but its nothing major since it changes back. Overall: This is the best HK DVD set I've seen personally so far, great A/V and subs. Totally recommended! edited by sidj on 02 Mar 2002 11:27 am
