[QUOTE="argo, post: 3392040, member: 5752"] You have made a great choice, Gundam Z is a terrific series. If you know "next to nothing" about Gundam then I might suggest that you view some of the origional series. Not only does it introduce you to the universe but, more importantly in your case, the events of Gundam Z are a continuation of events started in Mobile Suit Gundam. Though the main character of Zeta is new many of the other characters are returning from that first series and I think that much of the emotional impact will be wasted if you aren't familiar with them. If you are interested then I suggest you pick up the "film" versions. The first series was re-edited and re-cut into three feature length movies. Wierd as it sounds it works and it will give you all the info you need on the political events and characters to enjoy Gundam Z. Actually I perfer the movie version as it cuts out the hokey saturday-morning-cartoon stuff from the series (repetitive giant-robot transformation sequences, annoying sidekicks, etc) The amazon listings for the movies is [U][url]http://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Movie-Box/dp/B0001OGVTO/ref=sr_1_33/102-3925385-7612903?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1173594463&sr=1-33[/url][/U] Hope that helps.
