Zeta is not a good example because it was released in the States (and in Australasia too). Yes, SEED got on television and Zeta did not, so SEED still got more exposure. But that's not what you were talking about; you were referring to what was released in the States. I would have used X or Turn A instead of Zeta in that example of yours. |

You are right I was completely misinformed by mentioning Zeta, thanks for smacking me in the face with your humorless bullshit.

Oh pish-posh. So Zeta got a bad dub, music was changed and you found problems with the subtitles. So what? It was still available in brick & mortar stores, meaning it got decent exposure. Especially relative to all the Gundam titles that didn't get released in the West, or which there are more than a few.
Also, your point doesn't stand, because like I said, you were referring to SEED getting more exposure than Zeta because SEED was released in the States. Yet as I've already pointed out, Zeta was released in America too, so your example doesn't make sense and is therefore weak. X would have been a far better example as it is consistent with what you were trying to say. |

EDIT: I have a supreme dislike for 99% of the people who post here.

Bad localisation wasn't even your point in the first place. You initially implied that Zeta didn't even get a R1 release, which was supposedly why SEED had more exposure. Now you admit Zeta did get a release but are trying to focus on the localisation, as if that had anything to do with what you initially said.
You're just shifting the goalposts in a belated attempt to justify using a flawed example. I'm not going to answer a question that you only asked in order to try and cover your arse. |

SEED is more popular than Zeta because it ran on TV in some capacity and because it wasn't 17 years old at that point.

Only the initial release of Zeta featured dubtitles. The later singles & two box sets had proper subtitles. |

Seeing that SEED and 00 got first and third, it's obvious that most of the people who voted are not old enough to remember the golden era of anime when Toonami was in its prime and Gundam Wing and Dragon Ball Z reigned.

Yeah, Gundam was very much a mixed bag for Cartoon Network and may ultimately have been more miss than hit. Wing was an undeniable success and what spurred CN to pursue other Gundam shows, but none had anywhere near the success as Wing (although I do recall reading somewhere that G and SD Gundam did pretty good on the channel). |

I wouldn't blame the dub of Zeta Gundam. It's really poorly acted by a bunch of no-talents (Blue Water), but it's at least fairly accurate in terms of script. And after all, Zeta Gundam still ranks pretty highly on that survey, so I'm not angry or anything. My point was that it was kind of sad the things that were beating it were shows I wouldn't even watch again. Zeta is very polarizing because of the awkward character interactions and it's decades old, so it doesn't surprise me it's not winning, but a non-story like SEED beating it just unnerves me.

I would say the reason why Zeta is doing better than you would think given it's lack of exposure is because there are some actual Gundam fans who voted in this poll.
EDIT: Yes that means the people who voted for the other shows aren't actual gundam fans. [expletive] deal with it. |

What? Are you trying to say Zeta's animation is bad/poor/crappy? If so, I disagree 100% with you. Gundam Zeta is one of the best animated series in my opinion. Despite being created almost three decades ago, its animation is comparable to the best modern standards. |

Well the survey is closed. Here are the results:
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Mobile Fighter G Gundam Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team Mobile Suit Gundam Turn A Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket After War Gundam X Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ Mobile Suit Victory Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam AGE SD Gundam Force SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors There was only 663 total votes. I would call that a small sample size. |
