Animelist has it at 7.64 (scored by 11219 users) so pretty average.

Anime news network (ANN I assume) Masterpiece: 77 votes
Excellent: 177 votes
Very good: 280 votes
Good: 309 votes

the 843 people who took time to rate it, seemed to enjoy it as well. that's not a huge amount of people but still.


I copy/pasted this from the THEM anime reviews site (which gave it 3/5 stars btw)

"Overall this show is generally painted as horrible, the worst Gundam series in existence. This is a designation that I believe to be by and far unjustified. While this title does have several major and minor flaws, G Gundam always manages at a minimum to be fun, which is more than I can say for some of the newer AU Gundam anime. It isn't inspiring but it is diversionary and totally watchable, as long as you can overlook the fact that endless battle sets often take the place of a plot. For fans of fighting-genre anime that find themselves partial to fancy mecha, this will be utopia. The final verdict: a not-so-bad title that, while not revolutionary, at least manages to step ever so slightly in the right direction."

So that's 3 of the 4 sites gopackgo555 posted that say the anime was generally well received (Nihon wouldn't open for me on any broswer)


Basing what you read or watch on review scores is pointless, I've seen many a movie that were generally considered "bad" and enjoyed the hell out of them. Is G-gundam over the top and does it include a huge cheese factor?...extremely so, but for the general consensus here and on the few websites I went it is considered good.

Is them out of 4? I can't remember it's been a while since I read on of their reviews. If so it would be 3/4 instead of 5 which is better

THEM uses a 5 star rating system on reviews so it's 3 out of 5 stars.

So I'm reading Blade of the Immortal and this manga is awesome. At the same time I'm reading Shin Angyo Onshi, another great manga(manhwa?), and Berserk. Guys, am I sick or what. While all beautiful, well written, and with great characters these manga are pretty graphic in the violence and darker sides of the human psyche: they're all just really serious manga. I love them and am not bothered by the brutality at all, but I think that may mean something in itself.

Any good comedy manga?!

This. It's a lot harder to recommend comedy manga since tastes are lot more varied.

Yup.

I always forget how truly violent and well, graphic at points both Champloo and Bebop can be.

Holy shit, TV Japan is running an episode of One Piece just completely random. Awesome... unfortunately, no subtitles.

Oh sweet, there are subtitles.

Unfortunately it's the episodes just prior to Water Seven. The most annoying episodes IMO that aren't filler.
