Oh my, it has been 11 years ago (July 94') when G-Gundam was first
aired in Japan. Funny it seems, that I first got to know of the
series not by watching it but instead, I was enamoured by the
heroine of the series - Rain Mikamura. She was on the cover of
Animage ( April '95). I'm not so much into the Gundam Universe
although I'm familiar with the Mobile Suit series (Amuro Ray, Char
Aznabble et al). The endless and needless wars, the
suffering....
However, G-gundam quickly changed all that. the first series for
tha Alternate Universe - FC Century. It's the story's theme that
captivates me the most - of valour and honour, overcoming personal
struggles, friendship and devotion and most of all, the power of
LOVE. The concept is quiet a novelty, some called it to be "The
Street Fighter Of Gundams", with so many different moves, the funny
looking gundams, nationalities (Neo America,Neo France,etc). Every
week, we get to see how Neo-Japan's fighter, Domon Kasshu (with
Rain), hops to one location after the other, looking for a worthy
adversary - before heading to Neo-Hong Kong for the 13th Gundam
fight Tournament.
Along the way, he met with his future counterparts - Chibodee
Crockett from Neo America, Sai Saichi from Neo China, Argo Gulskii
from Neo Russia and George De Sand from Neo France. Ultimately,
they form the new Shuffle Alliance after the original members
perished in their bid to save them from DG (Devil Gundam)cells.
Hence, the insignias on their wrists - Domon (King of Hearts),
Chibodee (Queen of Spades), Sai (Club Ace) , George ( Jack diamond)
and Argo (Black Joker).
That's it for now. I'll continue later. Zaician!
