this is my favorite of the gundams, i liked it even better than gundam wing... the main character - Domon - is a jerk, but you like for him for it - you like his attitude, his snobbery, his refusal to listen to anything anyone says to him - he's not a know-it-all, and is prone to mistakes, which makes him a fantastic lead character - he's not a fierce warrior who can do no wrong, you know? then there's Rain, who is one of the best female leads in a gundam series i've seen - not only is she intelligent, and emotionally sensitive, but she can fight! rain's one tough chick, a brilliantly done character....and the primary villains are deliciously done - with their own sense of righteousness and revenge and their own thirst for power... my one complaint is that the supporting cast (the shuffle alliance and allenbee) remain sort of flat - it may be a necessity in order to concentrate on the main plot, but still, one can't help but want to see more of mr. crocket and mr. desand in action, as they are excellent characters.... the plot may be a little drawn out for some as 49 episodes can be a bit taxing, but take your time and get through it because it's definitely worth it - just when you think it's over, another wrench is thrown into the mix, and the plot wheels start spinning all over again, but thankfully, it just get better! the ending is fantastic (yes, a little mushy, but sometimes mush is a good thing) - so just take your time and watch it all they way through before you make up your mind and the art in this series is superb - i really liked how the characters were drawn, how the gundam battles were done - excellent work here! and the outer scenes hold some incredible detail... if you are a die hard gundam - especially the 00 series and wing, you may find this one strange, but just remember, these aren't the gundams you've seen before, this is an alternate universe, so keep that in mind, and if you don't like the gundams, and stay away from robots, well, there's enough drama and humour here, that your interest may be caught!

Overall, G Gundam is a pretty good show. It's unique and yet, has a more unbelievable line of fighting, but is definently worth watching. Throughout the entire show, Rain and Domon grow a bit closer every day, and by the end of the series, it would make sense that they should be close. It isn't one of those instantanious loves, but one that grows over an entire year for them, with lots of twists and turns along the way, much like real life. There are animes much better than this, but this one can easily hook and hold on it's own, and place itself on your 'favorites' list mighty fast. (For those who have seen it on Cartoon Network, be mindful that they enjoy cutting things for the kiddies, so don't be totally judgful by that!) Last updated Tuesday, June 24 2003.

This is truly a wonderful series. I recomend it to anyone who likes action anime. You have to give it a little while to get started, though. I have seen most of the end, and am right now watching the beginning, and it gets much better towards the end. It starts out with Domone being mean and rather stoney faced, but towards the end, we see he actually is a nice guy, especially towards Rain, the girl he learns to love. If this is anything other than an action based anime with lots of robotics, it is a love story. Much of the beginning is an introduction of the characters. Once that is out of the way and you finally see the Shuffle Aliance (Nah, I'm not telling exactly what that is. You have to see it:-) it is wonderful. It is filled with the question of what exactly is a martial artist? It mostly deals with questions revolving around martial arts and sportsmanship. If you don't like your anime with hidden meaning, you'll like it anyway because of its very nice action sequences (though there ARE better, this stuff IS good--and besides, it's pretty!).
