3.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Bag, September 30, 2007

If you're looking for a Mobile Suit Gundam box set, this is it. Too bad it's a Chinese bootleg. If you don't speak Japanese but, for some reason, still want to watch the show in Japanese, look elsewhere, the subtitles are atrocious and the video is muddy. If you want to watch the show in English, you'll get nicer looking video, but with slightly odd transitions between episodes. Of course, there are no special features, but the case is nice.

All in all, it's a good value, if you don't mind bootlegs.

4.0 out of 5 stars A reasonable value , December 7, 2007

By	Strider "Strider" (Florida) - See all my reviews

You get all the episodes from the original gundam 0079 series. You get the intro ,and closing just once on each disc. Being the intro themes from the begining episode at the start ,and the last episode has the closing themes on each disk. But all the episodes are intact. The very last disk at the end it has some extras. Like some of the original marketing trailers of the show ,and the intro and the closing without credits. It has the english dub from the cartoon network done by vancouver, canada ocean group. Original Japanese audio as well with the english subtitles but the english substitles aren't done too well. Chinese subtitles are also included. I give this chinese bootleg four stars.


I got the zeta gundam complete series chinese bootleg the other day. Well all that it is missing is the 2nd half of the 7 th seventh episode after the commercial break. I felt a bit bad cause I missed the dramatic battle scene between Kamille and Lila. It just jumps to the next episode. It's the only minor issue. The rest of the other episodes are all intact. All having the intro and closings. But the intro and closing don't have the 80's j-pop original music. It has the same same new instrumental music from the bandai box set release a couple of years ago due to copyrights. The english dub is done by blue ocean group in calgary canada. There's the orginal japanese audio with english subtitles and chinese subtitles. No extras though. I give it a four. Would of been a 4 and a half if the whole 7th episode was included. But I can't ask for too much since they are cheap bootlegs. You can get these cheaper if you look on ebay. That's if you don't mind a cheap bootleg.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price, June 22, 2009

Since the official Bandai Mobile Suit Gundam DVDs are mostly OOP or hard to find, this is the best (and cheapest) way to see the original series in English. The video quality is just OK, and mild digital compression is visible (probably since they squished the entire series onto 5 dvds) but never gets in the way. The opening theme only plays before the first episode on each disc, and the end credits only show up after the final episode on the disc, so there are some sloppy cuts at the end of the middle episodes to trim these off. But, it is an easy way to get sucked in to the series, as it runs like a marathon with continuous episodes without opening or closing credits.

Also, the 'digipak' style packaging looks really good with artwork from the Bandai DVD covers, but is slightly smaller than a normal dvd case.

Hopefully Bandai will re-release the series like they did with 'Zeta Gundam' in their 'Anime Legends' 2 volume collection, but until then I'll have to hang on to this set.
