MS IGLOO: The Hidden One Year War | The Gundam Retrospective

Excellent job 👏 👍

Don’t forget the other Igloo stories. The Federation tankers fighting Zaku’s. The Federation anti-tank infantry unit ordered to take on some Zaku’s with just Tow Missiles. An the Federation woman pilot who developed a prototype Guntank style suit blowing herself up at the end to destroy a Dobday. Oh an the Angel of Death following some of the characters

I’ve really liked your stuff for a while now, but I’ve gotta be honest. It’s really strange to hear you say my name more than once.

When are you gonna talk about Getter Robo?

No no G M is correct. But I love the Zudah.

YEEESSSSSSSS deep destiny dive! Can't wait

Thought you’d cover season 2 of igloo as well

You should take about crossbone gundam, info on the net is very limited and can't be buying manga from Japan everytime I finish it.

You better start a prayer before getting into GSD. As someone whose first Gundam was Cosmic Era, I might've got my own idea to fix it in mind. CE is my favourite timeline plus the GuAIZ R is underrated IMO. Lunamaria wouldn't have miss much of the action had she's in the GuAIZ R instead of the ZAKU Warrior, as the shield would've absorbs much of that kamikaze's impact. Not a bad design but the ZAKU Warrior should belong in where it should be at.

Edit: the Hildofr is the MVP here. Funny because ZAFT would've steam roll every EA ground elements with just the ZuuOT in SEED lol

shame on you for not calling it a jim 😂😂

Earth and Sweetwater were 3D in CCA

IGLOO Battle of Loum or Origin Battle of Loum

I come for the Gundam, I stay for all the Mecha OSTs I grew up with. Thanks for the video!

The Hidolfer is badass but my allegiance lies within the cockpit of a Xamel

Watching Gundam Age currently and its so odd and xenophobic. The AGE system is cool and underutilized idea tho imo.

I never caught Igloo and absolutely didn't know it was all CG. Pretty fascinating stuff in its own right. Glad to see you're still doing well and steadily working on fun projects. That passion is what draws us all in, so keep doing you my dude. Have a good one!

one thing i don't get about the zuda is it has the same engine as the dom yet the dom is fine so what am i missing?

calling GM "G" "M" is blasphemy

NGL Duvale was kinda right that the Zudah did have potential, cause finally, it got a stronger used by the Dom, but it also got new limiters and parts that it desperately needed from the Gyan, making it the Zudah F

This series basically showed me one of the (many, many, many) reasons zeon lost the war

It’s because they made a bunch of stupid wunder weapons

@ recon have you seen gundam seed stargazer???

i liked igloo 2: the cgi was much better and, the tank squad vs zakus was crazy

The animation of MS IGLOO reminds me of the CG Captain Scarlet series.
Both look equally uncanny but are decent enough in their own right.

Wooooooo

Ahh.. where every prototype pilots die except for the developer

IGLOO is one of the worst UC spinoffs but you gotta love the Hildolfr and Zudah, which are easily two of the coolest MS in the entire series

igloo 2 believe showed of the federation side of things like the anti-mech troops which is just as brutal.

they NEED to redo this with sunrise current 3d animation

hildolfr is awesome

I watched the English Dub, which might've made things funnier.

i just want to say that the 3d animation of MS Igloo reminds me of what the first Max Steel movies looked like.

The story about Zudah get even more interesting if you're a historical tank enthusiast cause it resembles part of the development history of VK 45.01 (P) a.k.a Porsche Tiger and Henschel Tiger which later become the Tiger I. Yes, both Zudah & Porsche Tiger are considered as failed prototype against their competitor that later get mass produced.

Those shaking fits are what’s called Malaria.

MORE IGLOO

I love how the main crew of Jotunheim appeared in the 0083 manga, still deploying the railgun and Hildolfrs (at least upgraded ones), and even developed the mobile armor for Gato.

I love Igloo, Apocalypse, and to a lesser extent the Gravity Front. The animation does improve quite a bit thankfully, but it does remain fairly uncanny. I hope you cover both Apoc and Gravity Front!

Fun fact the republic of zeon was able the keep the Jormungand . It's been used a couple time in side story when the republic of zeon was in danger. And I'm not kidding it hasn't score a hit since the one year war

I love how they used the perfect grade Zaku as their 3D model makes me Love the PG even more

That design of characters is a little too annoying for me. Rubber chicken faces ruined the experience of watching for me.

The story is done well in sd gundam g genesis

One thing I appreciated about the Battle of Loum in Origins compared to its depiction in MS Igloo. The Zeon tactics make more sense in there.

Like the Zeon cruisers are all designed with centerline firepower. So in Origins they approach the enemy nose on. Where they can bring all their firepower to bear, and have a minimal target profile.

As opposed to MS Igloo, where they turn broadside. Offering no more additional firepower down range at the Federation... but giving a target like 4 times as big.

Little things like that. You appreciate them when you notice them because it means someone was thinking about things.

"In all these stories about heroes... there's always one character that sacrifices themself to save the day.
but the thing with all these stories is... that hero doesn't get to see if their sacrifice made a difference.

They just have to have faith.

Ain't that a bitch?"

i love the Zudah and the idea of the Zuda F, i really wish that among all the wild callbacks the series gets over the years we'd get more takes on it, one of the best headpiece designs in all of Zeon and there's nothing i love more than some obscure mech getting lovingly customized into something that outperforms the original in spades
Igloo is beautifully tragic and i'm so glad i watched it, thank you so much for giving this underappreciated gem some time in a spotlight
though you are right, it's definitely more for the fans than the newbies lol

I freaking love Hidolfr and the Zudahs. Apocalypse dose look a lot better and plays out a bit better, but I love the ideas introduced here. Apocalypse has a very very cool mobile armor or mobile suit that I love.

An IgLoo 3 could cover the Gryps War and maybe Operation Stardust, with IgLoo 4 covering everything between that and Hathaway’s Flash.
