    SD Gundam has to be one of the stupidest things ever it makes Gundams look stupid. Why in the world would they make them look bad?What do you think?

    Why would it make them look bad? I think you're just looking at it from a North American standpoint.

    SD Gundam has been pretty damned big in Japan for YEARS. They have numerous games of the Gundam and other mecha in SD forms going at each other.

    And "going chibi" has ALSO been a Japan thing for ages.

    Just the American release is crap, is all.

    I enjoy it. It is not my favorite Gundam series but it was not meant to be serious. I was meant to be funny. But wait there's more something within the next few months there will be another 26 episodes.

    I hate this series as well. The cell shaded animation is pretty bad. Video games have better animation. If it is supposed to be funny, it fails. This may be because of a bad translation, but I doubt it. I like 8th MS Team and Wing much, much more.

    My opinion on this matter doesnt really count because I really dont like any of the "cute" stuff that comes out of Japan. I guess in anime lingo its called chibi, but what ever lol. :glazed: Meh....

    You might be surprised... some people other than little kids find it funny. Of course, it helps to have a background steeped in Gundam knowledge to catch some of the subtle things.

    At first I kinda thought--My God what have they done to the robots--but after watching it a few times, it does kinda grow on you.

    As you stated Saka--its just my opinion--but I don't think this version is that bad. And by the way, I am not a kid and I also find it a little amusing.

    But you gotta admit, the Chibi Gundam's ARE cute. With all due respect though, it sucks. xD Oh, and don't buy the Chibi Gundam Markers, tehy suck, too.

    Anyone heard of SD Gundam Mark I-IV?

    It was a series in 1988 that focused on putting super deformed gundams into comedic situations. Apperently it wasn't made for much more than extra profit to add onto what the original Gundam series was already making.

    There was the orginial SD Gundam, 10 episodes; SD Gundam Mark I-IV, 4 episodes; SD Warrior Gundam 2 episodes; and SD Gundam Side Story, which was another 4 episodes.

    Anyways the difference between this and the 2004 series, is the ones from 88-90 were actually good :p Or so reviews say, I haven't actually seen it.

    ... I remeber getting little pogs of these guys WAY back in the day and not having a clue what they were.

    i think it is funny.
    i also think it is good.
    i hate to say this but for some reason SD gundam got me into the gundam seris.
    i just think it being funny broke the ice for me to get into the seris.
    my opinion on SD gundam.
