So apparently this is a thing and Gundam wiki says there are eight more variants.

How does the Bolt Gundam do the head movement thing in episode 5 anyways? There's no mobile trace on the head and characters have to call out the only other command for the head (Vulcans!)
Does it just accept a voice command for "Taunting head movement!"?

>>4421Anon, I love me some G Gundam, and I love me some Gundam Maxter most of all.
But no amount of silly fun can justify Nether Gundam.
>>4424We did see some scenes of Domon working on his Gundam, so maybe Argo just *really* felt the need to include a taunt in his control scheme. G Gundam was basically a fighting game in mecha anime form, anyway.

>>4873The motif is supposed to be fairy tales. It's name is Marchen Gundam, which means fairytale in German.
But also voltron.
No.4878
>>4873>>4877Voltron wasn't "Voltron" in Japan, it's two unrelated series: Go Lion and Dairugger 15.
Also there are a shitload of other vehicle gattai shows out there. Dairugger 15 is just the only one known in the west because it was adapted as vehicle Voltron. I don't think that particular show is actually as well known/remembered in japan as it is here.

>>4881It happened before Robotech, actually, and was more heavily toned down. Robotech itself isn't really that heavily altered aside from a few name changes and the removal ofreferences to suicide and alcohol to get past Standards&Practices. The overall tone remained he same, whereas Go Lion was considerably darker.
According to the legend it was a mistake of the interpreter when the rights to the show were bought and the ameicans actually meant to pass on Go Lion and buy a different lion-themed show. By the time they realized it, the deal was closed and they had to make due with what they had and make it kid-friendly. It's not as heavily altered as Power Rangers, but notably more than Robotech.

>>4623>>4625Apparently Nether Gundam's entire purpose was to make it to the finals of the Gundam Fight, this improved their national standings or something. And they felt the best way to do it was to hide their gundam. They didn't need to fight with it, so they just didn't, and there you go.

The weird part is this is otherwise one of the most serious episodes of G Gundam.

Why is Domon so surprised that Ulube was Neo Japan's fighter in the 12th Gundam fight?
It was only 4 years ago, well known public info and he fought Master Asia (whoes matches Domon would surely follow).

>>4884The way I heard it, they were originally interested in Daltanious, and said they wanted the one with the lion. Then they got Golion.
No source, so take it with a grain of salt.

What's the best quality release for G Gundam?
I have [a-s], [EG], and (B-A), and I I can't really determine a difference in visual quality. (B-A) looks slightly crisper, but it's also like 20% smaller in terms of resolution, so that could be why, and minor color/vibrancy differences.
