"Let me just say I love G-Gundam. I think it's the freshest mecha series I've seen in awhile and a change from the norm of Gundam sagas. However, the first few episodes might leave a few viewers confused.CHARACTERS
Domon Kashu: Neo-Japan's fighter and the "King of Hearts" (explained later on).
Rain Mikamura: Domon's assistant and medical expert.
Chibodee Crocket: Neo-America's fighter.
Sai Saichi: Neo-China's fighter.
George Dissan: Neo-France's fighter.This story takes place in the year Future Century 60. In order to decide which nation will control outer space, a tournament is held every four years to decide which nation gains control of Earth. However, most of this won't come into much play until the second half of the series.Episode 1 (B+): Domon and Rain go to Rome to fight Neroes Gundam and also save the life of a young girl.Episode 2 (B): Domon is off to Neo-America to fight Gundam Maxter, but the government has other plans.Episode 3 (B-): Domon must bring back the Dragon Gundam from a bunch of Chinese smugglers.Episode 4 (B+): Domon helps a young girl gain the respect of Geroge Dissan by making Domon kidnap her in order to draw out the Rose Gundam.The English dub has the names of some of the Gundams switched, but that doesn't come up in this first volume. Domon's voice sounds very realistic and actually does more justice to his character. The English dub of Rain is done perfectly and makes her personality seem less cutesy.The menu for scene selection is cleverly setup as a map of the world, but it is a little hard to select from there. The only extra on this disc is an interview with the original director making comments on the episodes and why they were setup that way.Overall, this first volume won't automatically draw fans into it, but it is worth watching as the series goes on. In other words, if you buy this volume, make sure you are willing to buy the entire series."

"How should I start... Ok, There is a 21 year old man named Domon Kasshu. He has to become a Gundam Fighter for his nation, Neo-Japan. This is because his mother was shot and his brother, Kyoji has gone to earth with a Gundam called, The Dark Gundam. The nation froze Domon's father since he and Kyoji created the Dark Gundam. Now if Domon Kasshu wants to save his father he must win the Gundam Fight. He is also assisted by a 20 year old women named, Rain Mikamura. Her father, Dr. Mikamura has been very good friends with Dr. Kasshu. Rain Mikamura helps Domon when he is on Earth. She fixes the Gundam, Shining Gundam when it has to be repaired. She has a feeling for Domon but she won't tell him. Domon is known as the King Of Hearts. This is becuz his master, Master Asia, who has trained him to be a fighter. So Master Asia pasted down the crest. Well hope that helps you!"

The Gundam fight begins.....

"....and it gets of to a great start! The first episode of G Gundam is one of my most favorite. The first episode makes the whole DVD worth buying. The other episodes are great too. They do an excellent job of introducing the characters who will play a key role in the series. If you like good anime then pick this up TODAY!!!"
