Aw but they forget about the awesome which was the MS 08th Team, which broke the standard of most Gundam series seeing how it was more or less Gundam Vietnam.

My only issue with Gundam is how young major characters are supposed to be and the unrealistic way the military behaves.

This, coming from a diehard Gundam fan. The stories are still great, as are the characters themselves.

One example is Nina Purpleton from 0083. She's apparently only 19, but is a chief designer for *the* major MS producer in the world, and has been involved with two other characters on separate occasions long enough to get an emotional attachment to them. Her behavior is totally believable, but knowledge of her age isn't. In my mind she (and other very mature characters) is/are much older.

Currently watching Gundam AGE. I like it a lot. The dragon-looking MS are bad@$$.

Where's Wing Zero? You can't summarize Gundam without Wing Zero...

that just made my day XD
never been a fan of serious military stuff with mecha. I have battletech for that.

I much prefer the super robots like getter robo and gaogaigar.

Technically, you can sum up Wing Zero as alternative take on a Universal Century Gundam stories. Plus, Zechs shows up, so you have you have AC continunity in that video.

Perhaps, someday New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz: Glory of the Defeated will be released in America.

Seconding the motion that 08th MS Team is good.

I was also expecting the summary to look a little more like this:

• A minute long
  
• 30 seconds of this is various people yelling
  
• 15 seconds is a whole bunch of stuff blowing up
  
• 5 seconds are devoted to someone doing the wide-eyed "that's impossible" reaction shot
  
• The last 10 seconds should be spent showing this image:
