Zaku Zaku Hour

[kobun40]

:Pok so you've seen the Gundam serious..which one sucked the most.Im talking from the original gundam to the Latest for me i would have to say Sd Gundam i mean who in there right mind would watch that show (except for Zaku Zaku hour its hilarious to me) but other than that whoul watch it the only part i like is athe last episode and thats was because it was over until i found out it is really not over. Im getting mad just talking about but the gundam serious i did like was Gundam Wing. I liked it cuz of the well i liked everything about it..heck my sister liked and she rarly like anything i like (she said Heero is hot for a cartoon ) so start posting Gundam fans.

I can't say which sucked the most...
For the most part, the Gundam series was a semi good series. Some were good (Gundam Seed... sort of...) and some were bad (SD Gundam... well... like kobun40 said... the "Zaku Zaku Hour" was funny...). I don't like to judge other people because of their interests, but I didn't exactly think my friends were right watching it... they ran around their yards with fake laser swords, slashing at thin air, shot water guns at each other, etc.
They are still my friends, but I can't tell if they fit in with me...

The only Gundam series I've ever watched more than two episodes of was G Gundam, which cracked me up. Every episode had at least 6 racial stereotypes in it. I can't believe that show stayed on air as long as it did over here. I mean... THE CANADIAN GUY'S GUNDAM IS CALLED "BIG BEAR." AND HE'S A LUMBERJACK! HELLO!

I watched it, and I loved it. I thought it was cute. And I have to say I think I'm in my right mind Even if the fighting was kinda lame(which made it funny), I have to say you couldn't get me to miss an episode of that show. I never found the Zaku Zaku hour funny, just annoying. I've liked all the Gundam series I've seen. SD, Wing, and I haven't finished watching SEED yet.

hmm i may over reacted about Sd Gundam but i just really didnt find as good as the other...and me and a freind of mine pertend we where Gundams and wed fight with fack sword or stick i now its imature and strange but hey it better than being some serious tight wad who cant be joked around with. but im 1 fourth over being imature oh well i think the Gundam Wing serious was the best to bad Relena and Heero Never got married i would have liked to see that.

Gundam SEED is the best! But its Y7 rating becomes questionable near the end. (Natarl's bloodstained uniform after being shot, but it's better than a stupid excuse like what happened in One Piece) Also, the only significant editing I've learned of was when Miriallia was holding a gun to Dearka. In the original it was a knife.

Meh, the Gundam series has never really interested me. I’ve watched bits of several of its many incarnations, but none of them have really drawn me in. As for SD… if that’s what I think it is then I’d have to say I didn’t like it. We all have different preferences and to me it was just too weird to like. I watched a bit of G Gundam… The stereotypes didn’t really annoy me but I never really watched it seriously. I did watch Gundam SEED for a while after they moved it back to 1:00 AM. Once again, I didn’t find it too interesting and the idealistic speeches and characters got on my nerves, but I never watched it in succession so perhaps I’m not being fair. Heh, and Gundam Seed was edited quite a bit. To quote a short list…

Things that were edited out on Cartoon Network include mature content (ex. most references to the sexual relationship between Kira and Flay -- though the initial scene presenting this was left partially intact); scenes of intense combat violence (ex. almost all shots of pilots, including main characters, in their cockpits before having their machines destroyed); cold-blooded or brutal murders that are non-mobile suit related (ex. Signel Clyne getting shot by ZAFT soldiers loyal to Patrick Zala); all references to the facts that the Living CPUs need to take performance enhancing drugs; and most notoriously, all handguns being transformed into neon-colored lasers, dubbed "Disco Guns" by fans, for the majority of the show's run. The last two episodes remained largely uncut, though there was some editing, namely the guns used by Azrael, Patrick Zala, and one of the ZAFT soldiers (which was given neon-colored lights in certain but not all of the image frames), airbrushing the naked Flay's body in the final episode to avoid showing her cleavage, reducing the amount of blood shown, and the removal or altering of scenes that are very violent. Only the final episode was given the PG-SV rating rather than the usual TV-Y7 rating.

But yeah, compared to the One Piece dub’s hammer guns and omission of death, SEED's mild editing was nothing (good heavens… I died a little inside when they, instead of killing a certain character, took them to “the dungeon” or on another occasion sent them to “the hospital”. It’s just… ugh). Just trust me, the original OP did not suck like the 4Kids dub. To see a comprehensive list of 4Kids OP edits, click here (I’m just thankful for the K-F subs… Yay for uneditednessness and subtitles).

Also, SEED is, in my opinion the best Gundam series ever! And it actually surprised me when I saw Patrick Zala cough blood when he died. And my opinion of 4Kids is: They are the worst dubbing company that ever existed! They take an anime and destroy it, while somehow managing to keep it watchable. It should be renamed "4Babies". That's what I think.

About Zaku Zaku Hour.....

I read a Fanfiction Parody of it on Fanfiction.Net...

Servbot Servbot Hour! Read it for a few laughs (I hate to say this, but some of what the Servbots say may actually be true!) Read it for yourself to find out!

In the original it was a knife.

It was ALWAYS a knife, even in the dub... After Dearka taunts Miriallia, she gets a knife out of a drawer and blindly tries to stab Dearka in a fit of rage. Then Sai and Flay come into the room, and Sai stops her. Dearka is badly cut. Then Flay pulls a gun out of that same drawer, and says "I hate coordinators......I HATE YOU ALL!", but Miriallia and Sai stop her as well. And for me, Flay and Kira's relationship stayed the same. And, the guns were regular ole, weapons grade pistols. Living in Canada has it's advantages, because YTV doesn't edit as much.

SEED is the best Gundam since Wing, and that's pretty damn hard to top.

[Paragon]

I didn't know that. Thanks, Terra. Also, does anyone else think the Y7 is questionable?

[kobun40]

yes i think that is questionable...oh well iguess they think violence and bloodshed is approprioat for minors of that age.

[Paragon]

Which is a good thing! And they even let in one word of mild language! Mu once said "Cut the crap!"

[kobun40]

She said that OMFG i cant believe i missed it curse my parents for thinking anime is evil

[Terrius Chroniclius]

*laughs at kobun40*

Why is that? What's so "evil" about anime?
