NEWS: Right Stuf Details G Gundam, Gundam Wing Anime Releases

Wing still sucks

I apologize if this is off topic but if any one can answer I'd be extremely grateful. This past year it's felt like there have been a million different Gundam series getting released on bluray and it's overwhelmingly confusing to me as I haven't a clue about the franchise. Are all the series connected or all their separate stories? Where would someone even start if t hey wanted to try out this series? Dubbed series are preferred as Sci-fi/space/robots isn't a genre/theme I tend to like very often with some exceptions and the lack of dub on top of that would probably make it unwatchable for me but would like to as least try some of this franchise is there are any friendly starting points for someone like me, thank you very much!

There is also the matter of Gundam 0080 still not being on Blu-ray.

G-Saviour, Sangokuden, Force, SD Gundam, 00 TV BD + Special Editions, Gaiden and Musha specials unless you were specifically referring to mainline shows in which case, just AGE and Sangokuden.

G Gundam probably isn't popular enough to merit the special edition treatment but I much rather would have gotten a deluxe box set of that than Wing. Can't always get what you want though. Such is life.

Shouldn't 00, and Unicorn be included as mainline? 00 was a full 50 episodes split into two seasons and then condensed into three films, plus the feature film to wrap it all up. And Unicorn, while originally a seven film OVA, was re-edited into a 25-ish episode TV series. All of which needs re-releases in the US because Unicorn is damn near impossible to find on blu-ray and even DVD unless you're willing to pay an arm and a leg.

But Unicorn's been released which is why I listed the 00 BDs and Special Editions and not Unicorn. Unicorn got BD releases already, so it is TECHNICALLY available while 00 never received the blurays in the west.

Man, I need the two seasons of Gundam 00 on blu-ray, such a gorgeous show.

From the panel on the facebook stream it seemed like they were talking like they viewed G Gundam's US popularity to seem quite high so who knows it might be possible. It sounded like they might be considering it from the way he hemmed and hawed about it rather than some kind of quick we've got nothing to announce right now kind of thing.

Wing I can sort of take or leave. I would watch it if it aired on TV again (hint hint, Toonami), but it's not one of the strong Gundam entries and I'd only be watching for nostalgia.

G Gundam I'm quite fond of. I wonder if they're going to redub it or leave the Blue Water dub, which is surprisingly popular (baffles me). It's such a fun show and actually has one of the few decent Gundam romances in Domon and Rain. I'll be tempted to pick this one up.

i for one hope that it doesnt get redubbed. like with SEED & SEED DESTINY , those series DONT need a new english dub. especially for the cases of gundam wing.

it would be better off if they did a redub of build fighters and build fighters try instead. or use the resources to give an english dub version for turn a gundam or reconguista in g.
