Clowtrigger July 17th, 2005, 11:45 PM I Created this thread because i feel like no one likes this series, like seed, it gets left out.
Kuwabara July 17th, 2005, 11:51 PM I never seen it but i hear it got hurried and had a sucky ending. Also the Twin sattelite cannons are ridulously powerful from what i found.......
Clowtrigger July 17th, 2005, 11:55 PM but it has the durability that UC Gundams have.
Kuwabara July 17th, 2005, 11:59 PM Its based on UC
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 12:03 AM Yup, it's like the first episodes show a colony bombarded earth, a colony drop occured
Eppy July 18th, 2005, 12:04 AM i liked Gundam X...and yes the ending was a bit hurried but otherwise it was pretty cool
aqu July 18th, 2005, 12:09 AM I love Gundam X. It's the UC mans AU X'D
Kuwabara July 18th, 2005, 12:12 AM I might Catch it. Is it like Wing i mean with 5 bishi's as the stars?
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 12:16 AM nope, it's one guy(Garrod), He's lucky... period. He progressively improves not like kira or Heero
Kuwabara July 18th, 2005, 12:26 AM what do you mean lucky?
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 12:37 AM He just stumbles upon GX.
Kuwabara July 18th, 2005, 12:43 AM Ahh. Its Like in V gundam. Uso kinda found the Zolo and got in to finish off the Empires assualt
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 01:11 AM I love the X-Divider, too bad the original GX did not come for service for Jamil
Kuwabara July 18th, 2005, 01:23 AM Is it good?
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 01:28 AM I like its trademark weapon, the beam harmonica weapon.
Kuwabara July 18th, 2005, 01:38 AM Explain cause i dont feel like going to Mahq right now.
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 01:49 AM they look like a harmonica: the instrument, it fires kinda like a harmonica, many beams are released. then it also acts as a propulsion system for GX
Kuwabara July 18th, 2005, 02:02 AM Ahh okay. Sounds kinda cool what about the other gundams such as the gundam Leopord and such.
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 03:06 AM The Leopard is basically Heavyarms on Steroids, the Airmaster is a Zeta Variant w/o atmospheric re-entry capabilities
Kuwabara July 18th, 2005, 09:33 AM The leopard it Heavy arms on steroids X'D
Strider Hiryu July 18th, 2005, 01:01 PM I love Gundam X. It's the UC mans AU X'D
Took the words right out of my mouth there aqu.
Oh the greatness that is Gundam X. Such a great series. Sadly it was rushed (which they still haven't given us a definite answer as to why) but still turned out great (hey I personally liked the ending).
EVA-01 July 18th, 2005, 01:51 PM What is this series about? Is it like earth versus space, or earth versus earth or something? I saw a pick of the Leopard, I think it looks too bulky. Gundam Virsago looks like the Epyon. Most of them resemble a Gundam from Wing. I think I'll buy this if I can find it anywhere aound here, all we have is G Gundam and Wing. -_-
Strider Hiryu July 18th, 2005, 02:06 PM Gundam X is not licensed EVA. Only way to get it is from fansub groups so you'll need to dl it. Only group that I know of that has it all subbed is Hero Legends (where I got mine from).
GX is your basic Gundam series. Takes place years after a major war between the Space Colonies and the Earth. World was left pretty much devestated. Most people work as Vultures, basically scavenge the earth for wrecked Mobile Suits to turn in for cash. Has a major influence on newtypes and what they truly are. Very good series if you like character development and good old fashion mech battles.
Kuwabara July 18th, 2005, 02:12 PM So Garrod was a Vulture who stumbled unto it?
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 04:43 PM Who was the Char Persona Here, Jamil's space army counterpart
Eppy July 18th, 2005, 04:51 PM no more like vultures stumbled upon Garrod...Garrod is just good at stealing and getting out of tight spots =D
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 05:07 PM Garrod is 100% pure progressive pilot: no SEED, no Zero System, no Newtype powers. He's basically a guy who gets to have a Newtype as his love-interest. A cool Gundam and a Ship complete with crew
Strider Hiryu July 18th, 2005, 05:54 PM There is no Char counterpart here or that I could pick out from watching it. Not all of the Gundam series have one its just that most do because they play off their roots.
As Eppy said the Vultures stumbled upon him. Garrod is an excellent thief and is very good at getting out of tight spots. Tiffa, newtype love interest, is more or less the reason the Vultures stumbled upon him in the first place (whole plot scenerio involved with this, better if you watch it to get the details). Yes, Garrod is one of the few Gundam pilots that has no special abilities whatsoever. With a mix of luck and skill he becomes one of the best pilots in the series.
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 06:11 PM no the one who looks like treize,
Strider Hiryu July 18th, 2005, 06:16 PM As I said there is no duplication of Char's personality/persona here. I cannot find it and I should be able to since Char is by far my favorite pilot in any series. As I said not all Gundam series have a Char clone. If anything I think Jamil's counterpart is a personality in his own, he's too understanding of Jamil's motives.
Clowtrigger July 18th, 2005, 06:17 PM just want to know his name though
Strider Hiryu July 18th, 2005, 06:42 PM Oh well lets see here it's Lancerow Dawell
aqu July 18th, 2005, 06:49 PM I dunno Strider, Lancelo Dawell is a pretty good Char clone.
Strider Hiryu July 18th, 2005, 06:52 PM I suppose. I just never likened him to Char when I watched it. Planned on rewatching Gundam X this weekend so I'll see if I notice any Char in him then I'll get back to you on it.
ZGMF X23S SAVIOR July 19th, 2005, 07:39 AM I'm pretty interested at it, because i never got to watch half of it... Because of school/schedules...
I gotta hand it to mr. Garrod. he is no "Perfect Soldier", no "Newtype", and certainly not an "Ultimate Coordinator", but he sure is good with his Gundam...
From what bigbroclow explained to me, it is a "what if" scenario of 0093...
Strider Hiryu July 19th, 2005, 02:07 PM I don't really think its a "what if" scenario of 0093. For one Gundam X deals more with the problems of newtypes and whatnot. 0093 never took that time, it was basically Char wanting to realize the dream of having the human race evolve into Newtypes which was why he was trying to send Axis into the Earth. It would have forced oldtypes into space where they would evolve.
Gundam X starts out with the Earth already in shambles form the war. The main concept towards then end is newtypes vs. oldtypes (Space is filled with Newtypes basically in this one).
As I said I don't really think it's a "what if". Char's Counterattack (which is UC 0093) doesn't play big on the newtypes role on things. It's just basically the realization of his father's and his dream.
Then again to each there own, people interpret things differently from each other.
aqu July 19th, 2005, 02:37 PM I always thought of it as "What if Zeon didn't lose?
Strider Hiryu July 19th, 2005, 05:52 PM Good way of thinking about it there aqu. I guess thats another thing I didn't think about while watching it.
Kuwabara July 19th, 2005, 06:57 PM So this is And After math of the UC war?
Strider Hiryu July 19th, 2005, 07:43 PM This is an AU series Kuwa, nothing to do with the UC timeline. Most people like to think of it as a "What if" Scenario had Zeon won the OYW and had things progressed down the years. Just what most people like the speculate.
In my opinion it isn't. I view it as a story upon itself and don't like to try and tie AU series into the whole UC series. Then again there is the whole Turn-A theory out there (thats for another topic).
Sledgstone July 20th, 2005, 12:15 AM i've been downloading gundam x on and off over the past couple months. *must finish downloads*
Strider Hiryu July 24th, 2005, 08:34 PM Well after taking the time to watch the series again last night and most of this morning I've come to notice a few things.
Lacelow does emulate Char but I think Jamil is the Char persona in Gundam X. Why? Heh, I guess I see more of Char in Jamil then I did in Lancelow. Jamil fights for what he believes in even if it goes against what others think. Lancelow isn't shown much in the series (last like 9 eps) so I can't say much about him but he doesn't exactly emulate Char much in those eps. Guess its just me though but I see more of Char in Jamil then I did in Lancelow.
Also I guess this could be taken as a "What if" scenario. I can certainly see how things could have gone down this way had Zeon won the OYW. They were notorious for dropping colonies on the Earth, much like the Space Rebellion and they weren't easily swayed to see others opinons.
All in all I say it again this is a great series. To bad it was cut off short of what was planned for it, would of made a great 50 ep series. The ending is also by far the best one to come of any Gundam series (in my opinion, 8th MS Team ending is pretty close to taking it though (I mean the actual ending, not the one we got from CN).
Clowtrigger July 25th, 2005, 07:13 AM Have not re-watched it since DLing Destiny... but i will buy VCD's of Gundam X soon after watching destiny. But I gotta say, Garrod is one of my Favorite pilots overall, besides Kira and Amuro....
