I can't see how that would make a difference, I could rip the gundam episodes to a dvd and watch it in my normal tv...so it wouldn't stop them airing it on a normal transmission, just won't be as good as an hd airing.
I think it won't air until 2009, maybe september this year but it's doubtful, will take a while to dub,
I'm really picky on dubs, I like the trigun dub, gundam wing and inuyasha was good, but really anything else I cringe at

yeah I don't think it will air in the U.S. till 2009. Not because of HDTV though.
It is just going to take awhile to dub and what not.
As for dubs, I'm hoping for the ocean group. I'm just glad adv isn't going to to dub it. |

Too much blood? I don't recall Gundam 00 having an insane amount of graphic violence. I think the worst thing they've shown may be scenes where they showed a countless number of dead bodies, but that's about it. Even Gundam Seed Destiny had more graphic violence, showing Impulse's knife actually piercing through the body of an Earth Alliance pilot in one episode. 00 for the most part stays away from that, just showing mobile suits exploding and maybe some blood from the pilots if they lose a little blood, but still nothing that would prevent it from getting on Cartoon Network (Toonami). Kids WB, though, is definitely not going to air this; they've never been known to air action shows except for the kiddie ones like Pokemon. The most they've aired was maybe one or two weeks of Dragon Ball Z and that was it.

Actually, from what I know, Gundam Wing was the only real success the Gundam franchise has had in America. The rest either did so-so or totally flopped. SEED failed mainly due to its timeslot. CN put it on Saturdays at 10:30pm ET, and that timeslot is known for always getting low ratings on Toonami, regardless of what show is put on there. Then, after SEED broadcasted about half its episodes, it moved to Saturdays at 1:00am ET because of the low ratings. -_- Not sure if it would've done better on another slot or even another channel (SEED was more about the drama and characters rather than the robot action), but a 10:30pm timeslot certainly didn't help.
Interviews of people in charge of Bandai Japan hinted at making a Gundam series with an appeal to an American audience, which is why you see so many Gundam Wing similarities in 00. I can see this going on Toonami, though if it does, I really hope it doesn't get the same death slot SEED got. Otherwise, it might prevent any possible chance of Gundam airing on CN ever again.
I really wish Toonami still aired on late afternoons in the weekdays rather than the little 2 hour block it now has on Saturday nights. Gundam 00 probably could've aired at that time if Toonami still ran weekdays. Not to mention that I kinda miss the days when Toonami was actually pretty neat to watch (with DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Rurouni Kenshin); now they have Tom looking ridiculous rather than the cool host he was.

People seem to forget that both seed and GSD have aired on Canadian TV (heck, GSD is still being shown on YTV) and I believe at least Seed was quite popular here on Canadian TV. Also, YTV didn't edit out much from both series. A few of the seriously violent or bloody scenes may have been removed or edited in the slightest way, but as far as I remember, the editing was done incredibly well.
I suspect YTV will pick it up 00 eventually.

I concure with the around mid afternoon for gundam 00 cause so many kids rushed home for Wing, and the only reason the other series did so-so imo is cause they either aired late (alot of kids in my region didn't or wern't able to watch it that late) and because after 9/11 no one was that big into anything war.
I know the relaunched G.I. Joe toy line hit a big slump for that, and they stopped for a year.
And most things about war or violence didn't do so well unless it was about being patriotic for america.

I think you mean after 9/11 people weren't big into anti-war stuff. The Afghanistan war was very popular in the US. People wanted blood. Gundam SEED's too humanistic. Even if it had a better timeslot, I don't know if it would've done well. Kira Yamato is like the opposite of Heero Yuy. Heero Yuy is more like "Jack Bauer," the popular hero of the action show 24. Kira Yamato is an anti-hero more along the lines of Frodo Baggins from Lord of the Rings... hehe.
I think Gundam 00 has a more Gundam Wing feel to it, but at the same time it has that world government stuff going on, which a lot of Americans do not like. Just yesterday at school, there was talk about world government in my criminal justice class, and all the right-wing types in class were very opposed.
The Japanese Diet, meanwhile, passed a motion saying they wanted Japan to encourage world government. Still, Gundam 00 doesn't really present these themes right away, so maybe people will be suckered into the show early on.
And, Gundam 00 does have super powerful robots at the beginning doing cool things, just like Gundam Wing. |

lets just take it that im an idiot for saying this.
Frankly, i dont know nuts abt licensing. I just to clear my mind up, cuz im going insane thinking about it. Licensing, will it affect subbing and normal releases by nyoron-subs or any subbing groups? Assuming it does resume back on October.

Read the first page since there's a short discussion on if the sub groups will continue subbing the series now that it is licensed.
Actually I think most of the Gundam series that were shown on Cartoon Network were pretty successful, but Gundam Wing was the most successful. The one that sucked the most was probably SD Gundam Force or whatever it's called.

Wing and G did extremely well while most of the ones that followed had somewhat decent results. Only ones I know that failed were MSG and SD Gundam Force.
Though Bandai's fail marketing didn't help matters either. Though I do applaud them for their awesome Gundam Battle Scarred commercials XD

Gundam SEED did pretty well on YTV (Canada) and the station even aired the whole of Gundam SEED Destiny. I think it has a good chance of picking up Gundam 00 as well.

I remember that Wing did well... but G-Gundam as in "DBZ Gundam"... it's hard to believe that series did well. Only watched 2 or 3 episodes... it was too ridiculous to keep watching.

Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it was less popular (Really, awesome Super Robot Martial Arts action= Best thing I've ever seen in Gundam.). And yes.
It's been mentioned that G actually was 2nd best in America's Gundam ratings after Wing. After those 2, the only other one of notable accord could be 08th MS Team, as some of the guys I've talked to have mentioned it doing well in the Adult Swim Block.

Most of the UC series were aired at night on Adult Swim and the ratings were good, not as good as Gundam Wing/G Gundam. There was site where they had a chart of current Adult Swim shows and how they were doing so I know that it did well at least.

I remember when I was younger, I used to come home everyday early just to do my hw and watch G Gundam.
It was an awesome timeslot, on Toonami back then, I think it did pretty well considering how obsessed I was back then.
The Sci-Fi Timeslot is just a waste. Who would watch Gundam that late? It just compiles onto the already negative stereotype gundam has in American society. EPIC FAIL
It would be much better if they moved it to an earlier time slot. With toonami gone, I don't see how it could ever fit on CN anymore, and KidsWB sounds FAIL to me. If they just put in some nice advertising on other channels and move the timeslot I think it could be pretty popular. At school I had friends before that hated Gundam because of the stereotypes, but once I showed them an ep or 2 on my iphone they got really addicted.

| Ani-monday is more successful than you'd think, I don't see Gundam 00 as an epic fail in the states. I don't think it will be wing big, but it will be bigger than seed. But we will have to wait and see. |

well from what i can see on gundam 00 is that there is a moderate theme of blood, and destruction which is not meant for children since there are some countries are "CONSERVATIVE" type which has to censor the scenes

I believe the English Dub of Gundam 00 Premiers on the SCI FI channel in November, so I don't think there are any actual episodes to be watched...
As for hearing what it sounds like, you could check out some of the 00 trailers on youtube, perhaps?

Just finished watching the Gundam 00 "English" dubs...
Setsuna is going to be James Earl Jones when he grows up, I see.
Patrick is Texan? I thought he was supposed to be French or English.
Looks like some of the voice picks are a bit weak this time around. |

The UK anime business is basically a joke if you want anything that isn't deathnote, bleach or Naruto and even then it's still fairly stale.
I think Bandai need to get off their arses and do proper digital distribution because they're losing money.
I'd be happy to drop £2.50 an episode for a show and know if I lost it, I could just download it again because it was bonded to my membership with their service. If they tied it in with a direct-order discount for gunpla (save 10% if you're up to date on a show) that'd basically seal the deal with me.
Hell, I'm willing to sit through Gundam related commercials with what I've paid for if it means I'm supporting them and getting the content the same day it's broadcast.
It'd be sweet if they hired fansubbers to do a series and they got a cut of the cash. A really rock-solid business model. |
