I posted this in the Anime forum for my Japanese class. I don't really watch that much Anime anymore (except Gundam). So here goes:
Gundam is the greatest mecha anime saga!
Mobile Suit Gundam first aired in 1979, created by Yoshiyuki Tomino. It completely bombed. However, Tomnio re-released the series a couple years later as a movie trilogy, and it was a big success. Considered to be the "Star Trek of Japan", it has spawned nine TV series, four OVA series, and three movies.
