An anime that seems controversial amongst Gundam fans.
It deviates from the usual war type shows within the Gundam saga. this show instead, focuses on more of a martial arts-type tournament taking place in the year FC 60.
The Gundams in this show, rather than being controlled in a cockpit like that of a plane, where the pilot is seated, the fighter uses a mobile trace suit to have the gundam mimic its motions.
This show also is a little bit more like stereotypical anime with the sweatdrops and anime falls that I have failed to see in other gundam shows.
However it continues to have the wide diversity of characters. Whether its good or not? I'll leave that up to you

G Gundam was the predecesor of Gundam Wing, Gundam SEED and any other Alternative Universe Gundam Shows.

Get the G Gundam mug.One of the central elements of Gundam Wing's mobile suits is the use of Gundanium Alloy. What makes Gundanium so incredible is its properties: it is practically immutable, highly heat-resistant, and electrically neutral. These properties combine to produce a material that is extremely hard to damage, lending to the Gundams' atmosphere of invincibility and intimidation. Additionally, heat and beam weapons produced using Gundanium are much stronger than similar weapons made using traditional titanium, thanks to its extremely high melting point allowing it to produce hotter and therefore stronger beam energy. The name is actually a misnomer, since Gundanium is not technically an alloy; it contains non-ferrous metals and non-metallic elements. Gundanium is very rare and hard to make, since it requires the use of super-heated plasma and nanomachines, and very few people know exactly how to make and refine it. Further, it is said that Gundanium can only be produced at Lagrange points under zero-gravity conditions, putting a very powerful tool in the hands of the colonial rebels.
There is a common misconception that Gundanium is nigh-invincible; this has been disproven by several instances in Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz where the Gundams were damaged, usually by beam weapons. However, this has also lead to the supposition that Gundanium is especially strong against solid weapons, like traditional machineguns (as is the similar alloy Gundarium, from the Universal Century). This second theory may have some truth to it: according to the novelization of Gundam Wing, a physical impact roughly equal to the force of a train travelling at 120 kilometers per hour while towing ten-plus transport cars would be enough to easily destroy Gundanium. This is also covered in the series where Heero attempts to destroy the Wing Gundam with several naval torpedoes detonated simultaneously, although no exact figures are quoted.
Gundanium's name is actually an acronym; it stands for Genetic on Universal Neutrally Different Alloy. The suffix -nium was added to distinguish it from similar alloys being made on Earth. In the After Colony Universe, the word "Gundam" is derived from this acronym (GUNDAnium Mobile suit). Despite this fact, not every mobile suit made with Gundanium is a Gundam (examples: Vayeate, Mercurius).

In an Easter Egg of the Series, Gundanium is referred to as "Gundarium Theta" which would make it an eighth-generation descendant of the Lunar Titanium used on the original RX-78-2 Gundam of the Universal Century.

One of the oldest known Mobile Suits used during the Calamity War, a war with humanity being at the brink of destruction against Mobile Armors. Mobile Suits were then designed to destroy these armored monsters and of which required people to pilot them. Later developing an artificial (man-made) system, known as the Alaya Vijnana. It was an organic interface system that was developed during the Calamity War as a way to maximize the abilities of Mobile Suits by granting their pilots acute spacial awareness.
Barbatos's pilot is Mikazuki Augus, an orphan of CGS, later becoming Tekkaden (Iron Flower).
Mikazuki, also called "Mika", was later nicknamed "the Devil of Tekkaden" by his enemies, simply because he was always fighting on the front lines.
Not only was Barbatos very strong, it is said that Barbatos defeated a Mobile Armor all by itself.

Get the gundon mug.In the distant future, Mankind has colonized space with clusters of space colonies at each of the five Earth-Moon Lagrange points, and down on the Earth, the nations have united as the United Earth Sphere Alliance. However, the Alliance oppresses the colonies with its military power. The colonies desire a peaceful resolution to the situation, joining together in a movement headed by the pacifist Heero Yuy. Yuy is shot dead by an assassin, forcing the colonies to search for other paths to peace. The assassination also prompts five disaffected scientists from the Organization of the Zodiac, much more commonly referred to as OZ, to turn rogue after the completion of the mobile suit prototype Tallgeese. It is the year After Colony 195, and war between the Space Colonies and Earth has begun. To give the colonies an edge, they send 5 young soldiers, trained to perfection, to earth in the most powerful of Mobile Suit-Gundams to destroy OZ. With their arrival, the tide of the war changes as they battle against the Earth forces and the Colonies of their origin.
