G Gundam is only 3%?!!? The hell is wrong with you guys? I'll admit 00 was cool, but how do you beat the shining finger!?!?!?
Right? 4%! A breakaway from the gundamn trend in its own right and awesome. Domon Kasshu? Great character. Rain Mikamura? A seriously under-appreciated series, not to say Seed/Wing/00 are not good Gundam series' too, but come on!
G Gundam did indeed break away from the more mature theme that Mobile Suit is known for, but mind you that people had followed it previously because of those mature themes and quite a number did not watch the mobile suit franchise for only seeing the main character being a badass. I'll admit that I was on the edge of my seat whenever I saw him using the God finger(japanese name if you don't happen to be aware of it) but that doesn't mean it was the best thing I have ever seen in a Mecha, if that was the case I'd be here singing the graces of Gurren Lagann but no instead I'm using an avi of Dalia and think that one of the more effective moments (in my opinion)in anime was when
the daughter collapses and dies in Clannad After Story
I'm just sticking to what was in the poll, I was not suggesting it was the best I've seen in mecha, but from the choices I think its the best because its the deviant. Good story, good characters, exciting series. I liked that it was unique within the Gundam series. I didn't see them all, but I liked the ones I did see. If I could pick another best it'd probably be Gundam 00, its what I thought all future series of the franchise should emulate. But at the same time what I really came to appreciate from the G Gundam series was its simplicity comparatively. I liked the complexity of the other Gundam series I've seen, but I watched these series out of order sometimes and missed things. It got in the way sometimes. I also wanted them to loosen up a little.
G Gundam was like this little gem to me because it was subset of the Gundam timeline; it was a taste of the future of the future of the future it seemed. It was fun and didnt always take itself too seriously. I kind of want to watch it again. Ill probably watch the other ones now that its so damn accessible. :) But for me G Gundam will still be the best.
