Mobile Fighter G Gundam Commemorates Special Anniversary With Big Surprise

As a long-time fan of the Gundam franchise, I can confidently say that Mobile Fighter G Gundam stands out as one of my all-time favorites. The series perfectly blended action, humor, and heartfelt moments, with Domon Kasshu and Neo Japan being unforgettable characters in the vast Gundam universe.

Among all the tales spun from the vast universe of the “Mobile Suit: Gundam” franchise, none has captivated me quite like “G Gundam”. Unlike the usual Earth Federation versus Principality of Zeon conflict, this series revolved around a unique Gundam tournament where nations worldwide competed. As a die-hard fan, I’ve always cheered for Neo Japan and its formidable representative, Domon Kasshu – a fighter with an unyielding spirit determined to outmatch his opponents. Although a sequel series wasn’t confirmed, the Gundam franchise has kept Domon’s tale alive, and now, with the 30th anniversary project underway, I can hardly wait to see where his story leads next!

The animated series “G Gundam” debuted in 1994, spanning 49 episodes centered around Gundams that function similarly to the Jaegers from “Pacific Rim.” Instead of pilots operating the mechs through a set of controls, they physically control the robots by using their entire bodies. Set in the universe known as the “Future Century,” these unique control methods are used to wage battles. Despite not having a sequel, fans continue to revisit the intense fights and consider “G Gundam” one of the most enjoyable installments in the long-lasting franchise.

Will We See a G Gundam Sequel?

Back in the ’90s, G Gundam didn’t get a follow-up series after its finale, but hey, who knows what the future holds? There are still plenty of us hardcore Gundam fans out there who appreciate the fighting series for its greatness. And let’s not forget about that highly successful Gundam sequel property that has become one of the franchise’s most iconic stories.

The “Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom” film has become the most financially successful movie within the anime series, yet it’s not a completely new tale. This latest production is actually a continuation of the original “Gundam Seed” anime series and despite being released several decades after its conclusion, it achieved remarkable box office success worldwide. If a sequel to the “G Gundam” were to be made in the future, it would be intriguing to see if it could reach the same heights as “Seed Freedom” or perhaps even outshine the popular film.
