This channel is criminally underrated. I consider myself pretty versed in almost everything Gundam, but I always get something new from these videos. Try putting something sexy in the thumbnails and I’ll bet that brings in views. 😅

For me Gundam canon is the same as most western media. I have been on a forum called Mahq for years. I have read and discussed the topic of canon or “official works”. Bandai like you mentioned in your video. Views anything animated as official and; video games, novels, and manga as “black label”. They are weird with choosing what’s part of the official timeline in any give universe like U.C. , F.C. , A.C. , C.E. , A.D. and so on. The other universe don’t fit well together because, of the different technologies. So for me, Turn A Gundam being the end point of every universe, just doesn’t sit well with contradictions of each ending of the separate timelines. Well to me at least. The Universal Century, for me has a different interpretation than for others. I choose the first Gundam series over the movies. I choose Zeta and Double Zeta as continuations. I choose Char’s Counterattack as the end of Amuro and Char’s rivalry; As well as the Federation and Zeon’s final major conflict. I choose Gundam Unicorn as a self contained love letter to the Universal Century. I choose Gundam F91 as a new beginning for the next generation. I choose Victory Gundam as a sorrowful and hopefully end for the tragic Universal Century. I also like War in the Pocket, 08th MS team, Stardust Memory. I also like Gundam NT and Gundam Hathaway. I choose what fits to my view and liking of the Universal Century. I like most of series, OVAs, and Movies set in the Universal Century. I like to choose what fits where for myself that does not mean. That what others like, I will say “you are wrong with how the timeline works”. Choose what you like. I will choose what I like and, somewhere in the middle. We all will find something to enjoy together. P.S I just hope Bandai adapts Mobile Suit Gundam Crossbone.

Great video as always!

As a fan of Tokusatsu like Kamen Rider & Super Sentai your comparison to it is 100% spot on.

how many times can you say Universal Century in one video. abnsalonikas; yes.

To me, Gundam is all in one timeline, with Turn A Gundam resetting civilization as an attempt to force humanity to do it all over again. The various versions of events in the animes are like different perspectives being told by different people, and we take that multitude of perspectives and try to find the truth of what happened. It's like a historiography.

Saying Tomino's novelization and anime is different is kinda weird since he wrote the novelization DURING the Gundam production and killed Amuro at the end cause he wasn't sure if the anime was going to continue or not, and has said he probably wouldn't have done it if he knew.

I don't consider Turn A Gundam canon, as the end all of the Gundam Universe. I feel like the Gundam time line is ever expanding and its true ending is the one Full Frontal mentioned, basically the end of time. Nor do I consider Victory Gundam or Reco G to be a true connection to the Amuro and Char timeline. Those are loosely connected in the same way, when one super sentai show ends, they show the main hero pass the baton to the next hero. Yes, sometimes a series will reference past sentai shows, but there is no influence or direct impact on the currently airing show. It's basically boils down to this, there is the Amuro and Char main saga then there is everything else. Part of the Amuro and Char saga is events they have influenced in the UC timeline (Zeta, Thunderbolt, Unicorn, etc). Anything else shoehorned (Video games, OVAs, collabs) into the main saga is canon as long as it doesn't change the true history of the timeline.

I find this kinda ironic because Sherlock Holmes was the beginning of secular canon, and Sherlock Holmes is pretty popular in Japan as far as imports go.

Absa que pasaron con tus videos en latino?? Si siguen en Yutu como puedo verlos??

Before watching this, I would say yes.

my estimado chalo, me gustaría preguntarte por que ya no haces los videos de DAM?, sus videos eran geniales y más cuando los hacían para caballeros del zodiaco. y en este canal por que haces los videos en ingles? es solo para personas de USA? agradecería tu respuesta

Consider after war gundam x after turn a, always found the 2 to be kinda companion pieces. Turn a trying to end franchise wise and x trying to end the UC timeline. I'm in the minority in this but I think x accomplished it better than turn a

So..., no real look at the actual timeline. Very disappointed. That is why I click on the link. Though I did find what was being talked about interesting, I thought you were going to talk about the actual timeline after that "beginning talk" as it were. Again, disappointed. Will still give it a thumbs up, but please make sure you use better wording for your title next time.
