Reception Mobile Fighter G Gundam received mediocre television during its run on Japanese television in 1994 and 1995.
According to, the series saw an average of just 4.02% viewership for the and throughout its 49 episode run. The overall ratings for G Gundam were higher than that of the previous series and slightly lower than the following series. Critically, G Gundam was met with some controversy upon its Japanese debut. G Gundam replicates very little of the dramatic, militaristic conventions of prior Gundam series, setting itself apart with a different; taking place outside the franchise's main timeline; and foregoing large-scale, armed conflicts in favor of tournament-style, martial arts matches. Director claimed to have taken a large amount of criticism for these changes from both fans and design staff members. G Gundam ultimately proved very popular in Japan.
Early in the show's North American run, Bandai reported that G Gundam had the top ratings of any anime show for the period. The company considered the show to be a 'hit' at the time. However, officials for Toonami recounted in 2006 that no Gundam series earned significant viewer ratings after the first North American airing of Gundam Wing in 2000. G Gundam received an overall positive critical reception amid its mainstream exposure in the United States. Nonetheless, views on G Gundam 's plot remain largely mixed. Negative reactions to the plot mostly stem from its stark contrast to preceding Gundam entries that have traditionally focused on deep political and social issues in the midst of war.
Writer John Oppliger considered G Gundam to be 'the plague of the Gundam franchise' and 'one of the biggest mis-steps in anime history' due to its elimination of such serious subtext. Both Bamboo Dong of the and Duncan Scott of were also initially disappointed for the same reason, with the latter writer feeling that the series features 'Gundam' in its title purely for marketing reasons. Tucker of T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews called the series' episodic storyline its 'most profound weakness', whereby 'the narrative exists predominately to move the viewer from fight to fight'. Tucker also found that the potential for its more dramatic themes, such as tension between Domon and Master Asia or Domon's romantic relationship with Rain, is 'overshadowed from start to finale by the show's domineering, if repetitive action sets'. Other critics were more accepting of the plot as it progressed, overlooking comparisons to past Gundam series. Editor Mark Simmons, Martin Ouellette of Protoculture Addicts, and anime journalist Mike Toole have all shared opinions that the show can be immensely enjoyed by not taking it too seriously.
David Smith of denoted G Gundam 'the greatest giant robot series that has ever been' because of the seemingly 'over-the-top' nature that drives the premise. Smith asserted, ' G Gundam maintains a completely straight face through every second.
That's the trick, because to let the audience laugh for one moment would break the effect. You don't laugh at G Gundam - you become completely absorbed in the wondrous violence of it all.' Simmons concluded that the addition of components like 'nanotechnological plagues, evil armies, zombie legions, betrayal, and heartbreak. make the end result entertaining for more sophisticated viewers as well as for youngsters enticed by the colorful shiny robots'. Toole stated that despite valid criticism that the plot is 'silly and exaggerated' and its introductory episodes suffering from ' fare', the debut of Master Asia triggers 'some great character development'. Dong similarly appreciated the show more in its Neo Hong Kong and perceived it much easier for a new viewer to begin watching at any point in the series than with other Gundam installments.
The large cast of characters and mecha in G Gundam has received mostly praise from critics. Toole, Tucker, Ouellette, and Smith made positive mention of the primary characters for their unique designs and attributes; all four reviewers have noted many of the supporting characters to be overly with regard to their nationality. Toole particularly enjoyed the protagonist Domon, whom he described as very well-rounded, and regarded Master Asia as 'both a great hero and a great villain'. Tucker interpreted the main characters 'stylized and distinctive' which possess individual motivations that give them 'dynamic appeal'.
Tucker was also impressed with the design variety and color format of the mobile fighters, which break the mold set by the. Toole and Smith together felt that the more Gundam stereotypes added to the show's endearment. While referring to Neo America's mobile fighter, Smith exclaimed, 'This show has a cowboy/boxer/quarterback/surfer Gundam, for God's sake.'
Simmons equivalently and sarcastically summarized, 'This is a world where the space colony of Neo Holland is represented by a Gundam that transforms into a giant windmill.' Legacy During the North American DVD production interviews for Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Imagawa was asked to address the message 'See you again Gundam Fight 14' shown at the last of the final episode. He answered that it was simply and had no intention of affirming a to the anime. Granted its large number of manga side-stories, Imagawa surmised that it would be 'impossible' to create an animated sequel or OVA series to G Gundam and disclosed he would not direct it if there were. He said, 'I believe G Gundam is a series that started as a program for kids and eventually worked out because I stayed vividly aware of that until the very last moment, overcoming a lot of obstacles and bad situations (in terms of directing).' Oppliger found that G Gundam had established a legacy within the, albeit a different one from its 1979 namesake.
He elaborated that G Gundam represents a 'catalyst for development within Japan’s anime industry' for being the first complete of the Gundam franchise and the first of many Gundam TV series to feature a self-contained storyline separate from the traditional franchise continuity. In 2001, G Gundam was listed by the Japanese magazine among the top 100 most important anime in history in terms of historical significance, influence and impact on the anime industry.

Contents. History The G Generation series technically began in 1996, when Bandai released a series of six games for 's console's add-on, each focusing on a particular era from the Gundam multiverse. A Generation focused on the, B Generation focused on the Gryps Conflict, and so forth up to F Generation, which covered the plot of. Instead of continuing the obvious progression and making a G Generation game themed about, Bandai held on to the title.
Since 'G' was often used as an abbreviation for 'Gundam', it was decided that G Generation would encompass a wider scope. When it was finally released in 1998 for the, G Generation covered the plot for through and featured characters from the remaining series as well as, and. Series Features The G Generation's most distinctive feature is the fact that the machines are always depicted in a super deformed fashion. This may be to prevent problems with the different proportions used in various Gundam series, but a larger reason may be the fact that Sunrise has been known to charge a heavy licensing fee for full-sized versions of their mecha to appear in video games, a problem which also plagues the series of video games. The G Generation series tends to operate in one of two ways in regards to plot.
Most of the games released for home consoles faithfully recreate the plot of the series included, while most of the games for handheld systems feature a new storyline that combines elements of all the series' plots together while giving the characters new relationships. In addition to the familiar cast of Gundam characters, G Generation games often feature brand-new characters that represent the player's contributions to the game. Most of the time, the original characters have no plot impact on the game. However, the game Monoeye Gundams features a new group of characters with their own storyline that forms the overall plot of the game, supported by the events of the and the Gryps Conflict. G Generation DS follows this tradition by introducing a new character who ties into the stories of both and Monoeye Gundams. Most of the G Generation games feature brand-new mobile suits and armors designed exclusively for the game. All of the machines are given a backstory that ties them into the Gundam storyline, with most being incomplete or rejected prototypes.
A vast majority of the original machines represent the, but so far every universe except Cosmic Era has received at least one original machine. Unlike the popular series, G Generation does not limit characters to only piloting machines from their own universe. For example, could be made to pilot.
However, some restrictions still exist. Some machines can only be piloted by characters who belong to certain categories. Other restrictions are plot-based. Like, G Generation allows the player to convince certain enemy characters to join his team. Most of the time, this is represented by being able to save sympathetic characters who were on the 'wrong' side of the conflict, such as 's and 's. Other times, the games allow the player to convince characters who would likely never join the heroes. Most G Generation games allow the player to capture enemy machines and add them to his own roster.
The console and some PSP G Generation games typically allow the player to capture enemy machines after their mothership is destroyed, while the other handheld games allow capture of damaged machines if they are surrounded by three or more player units. Featured only in the handheld G Generation games, ID Commands act in a similar fashion to in traditional, but are based around a character's memorable lines from the Gundam series.
Usually linked to ID Commands, the handheld G Generation games often feature Hyper Modes for characters from all series. Earned through unique circumstances and activated by special ID Commands, Hyper Modes typically represent the peak of a character's power while piloting the mobile suit his/her most famous mobile suit. Characters' Hyper Modes are typically a representation of their Newtype power reaching its peak, while the Alternate Universe series characters' Hyper Modes are usually linked to their Gundams' special systems. In console G Generation games, few unit like will activate the Hyper Mode when pilot has max morale. While in pocket games, such as G Generation DS, will let a pilot activate the Mobile Suit's Hyper Mode when a certain SP is reached.
