Hallo my name is gundam555. I downloaded a few episodes of the podcast about a week ago, and that was how I found out about this place. I was born on 5/15/1990, so you can probably guess my age. I am a big fan of Sci-Fi. Star Trek is on my list of favorite Sci-Fi shows but my #1 favorite show is Gundam (As you can probably tell by my username) I was also a big fan of Cartoon Network and Toonami before all this live action crap came along, and I probably will be a fan of old Cartoon Network and Toonami for a long time. I am basically a fun guy to be around. I have a link to my MySpace in my signature, so if you have a MySpace feel free to send me and invite and I'll accept as long as your page doesn't look like that of a predator's. Also please check out the other links and if you have a YouTube channel please subscribe.
Welcome to the boards...
Thanks!
Welcome aboard gundam555; I'm a big anime Mecha fan myself. Have you checked out Gundam 00 yet?

Yeah I've seen some intros and clips of it on YouTube. Also I just bought a box set with the first 25 episodes of Gundam SEED, plus I have complete series box set of Wing, and Volume 1 of Mobile Suite Gundam.
Man; I'm trying to bite my tongue to keep from geeking out on Gundam... :-\
Oh well; I'll geek out a little- ;)
Seed is pretty cool, but it was Wing that first got me into Gundam; I used to spend a huge amount of my free time tracking down and building the model kits.
By the way, how did you like volume I of 0079? The reason I ask is that although the animation style is pretty dated, it seems to me that the storyline seems a lot more realistic than Wing or Seed. In fact, after watching all 3 volumes of the MS Gundam movie (0079), I checked out the other U.C. series and OVA's and found them to be way cooler than the Alternate Universe stories (I'm talkin' bout Wing, X, G-Gundam, and Seed/Seed Destiny). So what are you; a Universal Century fan or an Alternate Universe fan?
I'm more of a UC fan myself. My favorite storylines to date: 08th Mobile Suit Team and Zeta.
I've only seen the first 3 episodes of Double-0 so far, but I think it might be a pretty cool series. It seems to combine the best elements of both the U.C. storylines and Gundam Wing, with a lot of modern-day politics thrown in for good measure.
There; geek-rant over. I'm glad I got that out of my system. 8)

Welcome to the fun gundam.
Welcome gundam.
welcome to the boards
Hey, nice to have you aboard.
welcome.
hey hey! Welcome. I kinda half got inot Gundam Wing for awhile but I haven't caught up on any of the other incarnations.
Thanks all! Also, wraith1701, I liked the first volume of 0079. Wing is my overall favorite, that was what got me hooked to Toonami. I'm an Alternate Universe fan, but I do enjoy the UC ones too.
