Gundam Origin V - "Don't Say Goodbye" - Crowley Hamon (English version by Amanda Schuckman)

[@joshuakelly8266]

English actors singing songs in anime is usually hit or miss. This one is a HIT.

[@clxwncrxwn]

One thing I’ve noticed with the Gundam dubs they’re always top quality, they employ some of the same actors I noticed one of the side characters in gundam 00 was a background character in Gundam seed, the voice actor who played amuro in the original dubs, also plays setsuna in Gundam 00. but they always fit the right voice to a character,

[@joshuakelly8266]

Really? Im actually about to start the original because I've been meaning to watch im chronological order

[@DaftPunkSkittle]

Lol I followed this voice actress on her soundcloud and just found out she did voice work. I just thought she had a cool playlist 10 years ago

[@johngavin3180]

This one was a definite hit... like side 2 hitting Australia

We all know the fate of Crowley Hamon and Ramba Ral. My God such good character development in the Origin Series. Love the song too.

[@awesomechainsaw]

As someone who got into gundam through origin. Not sure i would have loved The original as much as I do without Origin.

[@RexWort]

It really hurt knowing them more when you know thier fate 😔

[@kingnothing5678]

Pain

[@christopherswain6492]

It gives you more understanding of zeon side and shows it not so black and white

[@critic2029]

Origin makes those three episodes of the series have so much more weight… Ramba Ral hesitating when he realizes it’s Artesia, Hamons revenge.

[@agitatedtofu2511]

when first hearing this song after getting through the majority of the series, it is powerful, a beautiful song to really drive home the sorrow of the people in the UC timeline and seem to really get the essence of what *Gundam* is

[@Jyoonsang]

​@@sexyrobot9935 Might be late but if not i highly recommend IBO (Iron Blooded Orphans). Most people criticize that the story is shit but they don't realize that the purpose of it is to be realistic (especially the no plot armor, which is why I really like this series compared to other animes). It's slightly different from the manga, but both the adaptation and the manga has done well in portraying a realistic development and outcome of what a revolution would be like

[@johngavin3180]

What I wanted in the origin: Giant robot fights, war crimes, and political inteigue. What I got in Origin: a small serving of giant robot fights, a good amount of war crimes, and a hell of a lot of political intrigue, Casval did nothing wrong, and the Zabis are the cause of all of the universal centuries issues.

Well, he did kill the real Char Aznabel and that kid that found him out. Even if you can justify killing the kid out of self preservation and to keep his identity secret, you really can't justify killing Char. He is undoubtedly a murderer.

Deep in my mind neon sign shining bright smoke faded into the night the doors left ajar with a glimmer of hope just so you come back again time goes by goes by no matter how hard you try dont say goodbye goodbye now that our story has come to an end feel your life bursting into flames everyday everywhere i believe in eternity the stream of time never stops never sets me free The towns fast asleep its a sleep dreaming of you melting the ice throughout the night won't shed a tear and i'll keep holding on until you come back to me lonely night so lonely in such a distant world there is no choice i wont be afraid now is the time to stand strong against fate feel me close even when in pain everyday everywhere i will love you eternally the stream of time never stops never sets me free

I don’t know this series, I don’t know this context, but all I know is that this song hits hard and was done right.

Just finished the entirety of origin. This song encapsulates every-fucking-thing that took place in the story.

[@nikothehero799]

What song is this?

[@novanoir8309]

Crowley Hamon, such beautiful woman. This Series, Gundam Origin was a masterpiece, i cannot wait they remake the old series in this style, reboot the series to appeal to newer generation.

[@comixproviderftw_02]

Gundam, what I expected: SUPER AWESOME ROBOT BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER IN SPACE. LESS STORY, JUST ACTION. Gundam, what I got: War... War never changes.

[@agitatedtofu2511]

that's what makes Gundam so good imo

[@sephidude123]

Genuinely. Gundam is a franchise that expresses the loss and emotion of war. The spark of rebellion twisted into a desire for conquest and power, the allied powers twisted into fascistic tendencies to maintain that power, struggling and conscripting children to the frontlines to serve in a war they never started. The betrayal, backstabbing, and politicking of the people while soldiers and civilians are killed. Gundam is good.

[@brianaguila6925]

@@sephidude123 i think the gundam origin and zeta gundam captured the things you said.

2:04 bartender is distracted, time for a free drink

[@PedroHMKLeal]

The point that Hamon realizes thst sooner or later, Ramba Ral is not coming home. She knows that either he'll get executed as a traitor, or worse, that he'll be sent to the frontlines to die for his insubordination, and that his moral sense will be his downfall. And yet she cannot do anything to prevent that.

[@majordusty1]

to me it sounds as if hamon is singing of the grief and sorrow in ramba's heart.

Knowing his final fate and hers.....the song hits harder. May The spirit of The Blue Star find its way to the freedom of Space and soar to eternal happiness. SALUTE! O7

[@einrauser6103]

The first time I heard this song, I dropped what was doing and sat down transfixed. Then I rewound it and started crying. Third time through I poured myself a drink. Never expected this quality of singing in an English dub. Far and away a favorite. Made all the more heartbreaking knowing what those two would endure.

[@johnermactavish1162]

Similair. Actually kind of stopped everything. Put down the phone and leaned in and listened. After hearing the glass clink I paused and poured a drink myself and restarted it. Edit: Glass clinking of another glass. Not ice. This song does go well on the rocks.

[@clxwncrxwn]

Beautiful but sad.

[@Mattew9001]

What a great song. I love this rendition, even more than the original VA. I only wish there was a version without the sounds of the cup and alcohol/neon sign

[@AtlasFox]

That would be tricky to edit but I'm sure it could be done by someone determined enough. Certainly not impossible!

[@SirLithen]

The original VO exists without those sound effects, but I think they enhance the song personally.

[@julianadeau5797]

When I first heard this song, I got instant goosebumps and proceeded to ball my eyes out... Such a beautiful song, but oh, so heartbreaking... :'(

[@simunator]

zeon was in the right until operation british

[@Darkstar263]

In the first few episodes, I was able to have sympathy for Zeon wanting independence for Spacenoids. But I lost that sympathy when I saw Operation British in episode 5. It was absolutely monstrous how they gassed the civilians of that colony. The problem with Zeon was it was being led by psychopaths, the Zabi's. Though I think Gihren was probably the most bloodthirsty out of all of them. No wonder Degwin compared him to Hitler in the original series.

@@Slifer29 Too bad he then rationalizes it as the citizens of Island Iffish being too weak to protect their children and that he did nothing wrong in the end. Nice going Dozle, you almost had me sympathizing with you buddy. At least Mineva turned out right.

[@Slifer29]

@@manupontheprecipice6254 yeah I get what you mean but the fact that he gave that act a thought shows that even he has some humanity to him and whereas the rest of his family, never even gave operation British any thought even during the Battle of Loum in the aftermath of the battle when he saw the wrecked federation ships, he even said “it’s nothing personal, but this is the fate of the vanquished” And I think that because of those reasons that Mineva Became the person that she is because like her father, she has a kind and empathic heart, but most importantly, she learned from the mistakes that her family made so that in her pursuit of spacenoid independence that she doesn’t repeat the same mistakes that her father and the rest of her family did

This scene is so fucking peak it's unbelievable

[@kayskreed]

Finished the original series and was intrigued about these characters, but didn't think much of them. Now after having watched Origin, so many of the blanks have been filled - especially Ral's encounter with Artesia in Gundam '79. The foreshadowing in this song is insane. Honestly, I still don't know why they didn't just defect from Zeon. They obviously weren't liked very much, Ramba Ral's father was murdered by the Zabi's, and yet they continued to do their bidding. I really liked these two.

God gundam is such a great political war drama, why do people just put it off because it takes a while for the action to start or just because its anime. Imo the action is happening during any gundam series and the political drama is the best part of it.

I'm sure a lot of people would recommend seeing the original Gundam series. Though it's pretty dated if you can get behind it being the origin of the series it's a good watch. Both the original Gundam and Gundam Zeta are still some of my favorite things I've seen. That and you'll get to see Char again.

@@willvermillion1025 It is true to a degree but there is a bit of the Gundam plot that's always recycled into the newer plots. A lot of the other timelines are different takes on the original. But I still 100% recommend watching them.

Maybe start with Origin then move onto the og Mobile Suit Gundam

[@AtlasFox]

Since you watched Origin, you'll find the Unicorn art style familiar. 8th MS Team is better if you have a good understanding of the wider Gundam universe.
