■ Main Characters

・Char He loves red, horns, and triple the amount of food. He is known as the "Red Comet." His trademark is his red military uniform and a mask that hides his face, but he has a habit of getting naked easily.
・Lalah-san is the one who makes the jokes on Char-san. Today, her colorful and endearing (?) jokes are outstanding. Don't mention the mole on her forehead.
・Mr. Amuro is a well-known Gundam pilot. His high Newtype abilities are put to full use for the delusions and erotic desires of adolescence.
Sayla-san is Char-san's younger sister and an aspiring doctor. She sometimes examines the crew of the White Base, but because the patients are a bit strange, she mostly just uses verbal abuse to treat them.
Frau is Amuro's childhood friend. Ever since they boarded the White Base, she has been feeling uneasy about Amuro, who has become increasingly distant from her in many ways.
Kai is a supporting character who pilots a Guncannon. He is a nihilistic and cynical character, but whenever he appears he is almost always insulted by Sayla as a "weakling."
Bright is the young captain of the White Base. With Amuro at the head, the crew is full of unique personalities and is constantly struggling. He seems to be the most sensible person, but...?
A pet robot given to Frau by Haro Man Amuro. The arms and legs can be stored inside the body, and it can hold simple conversations and measure brainwave levels... or so it was supposed to be.
・Comet Chick A red guy from Chick Village. Although he's cute, he's also good at setting traps and handling drugs, and is plotting to get rid of Char.
・Bitter Sayla It seems to taste bitter when you bite into it. Cute and endearing.
・Bacteria Char A tiny thing in Char's back teeth. Enjoys life in his mouth.
Garma is the youngest son of the Zabi family. He and Char were in the same year at the military academy, and are always being schemed, plotted, and measured against each other. A poor man who is always being fooled.
・Kikka-chan Katsu, Let's, Kikka's Katsu, and others besides Let's. Mascot-like characters familiar to the White Base crew. Cute.
Altei Piyo The younger sister of Comet Chick, who followed her brother from Chick Village. She cries a lot at every opportunity.
・Kycilia Tan: 10 years before the main story, Kycilia Tan is a shy 14-year-old. She is troubled by her insensitive father, Dekin.
Degwin is the most powerful man in the Principality of Zeon. He lacks tact and is often scolded by his daughter, Kycilia.
・Poop Share A poop filled with dandyism. Every time he appears he leaves behind meaningful words.
A former adjutant who gets just as naked as Dren and Char. His incomprehensible and overconfident beliefs cause trouble for his subordinates.
Hayato is a supporting character who pilots the Guntank. He tends to be overshadowed by Amuro, but he really shows his presence when he receives treatment from Sayla.

Gundam-san TV Unaired Episodes - Detailed Review and Recommendations

"Gundam-san TV Unaired Episodes" is a must-see for fans of the Gundam series, and will be a great entertainment for those who love parodies. The series was distributed on GUNDAM CHANNEL from September 17 to December 24, 2014, and a total of 15 episodes were released as 5-minute short anime. The original work is "Mobile Suit Gundam" by Hajime Yatate and Yoshiyuki Tomino, and the director and scriptwriter are Mankyu.

Story and Themes

"Gundam-san" is a parody anime based on the manga of the same name that is serialized in the monthly Gundam Ace magazine. The original manga depicts the characters of the Gundam series in a humorous way, aiming to provide laughter to fans. The anime version continues this theme, with familiar characters such as Char, Amuro, and Sayla playing an active role in comical situations that are completely different from the original.

The story completely ignores the heavy themes of the Gundam series, such as the One Year War and the Newtype revolution, and instead depicts humorous episodes about the characters' trivial daily life, their teenage worries, and even their obsession with being naked. In particular, the episode about Char "liking being completely naked" depicts his habit of being completely naked, a fresh surprise for fans, in stark contrast to his trademark red uniform and mask.

Characters and cast

The characters in "Gundam-san" are based on those in the original Mobile Suit Gundam, but their settings and behaviors are very different. Char is known as the "Red Comet," but in this work he is portrayed as a character who loves red, horns, and triple the amount of things, and has a habit of getting naked at the drop of a hat. Lalah appears as Char's straight man, and there is a humorous setting in which the mole on her forehead should not be mentioned.

Amuro is known as a Gundam pilot, but in this work he is given a comical setting in which he makes full use of his Newtype abilities to solve adolescent worries and erotic problems. Sayla is Char's younger sister, and as a medical student, she is responsible for examining the crew of the White Base. There is a humorous scene in which she verbally abuses a patient because he is a bit of a weirdo.

The cast is impressive, with voice actors such as Katsuyuki Konishi as Char, Megumi Han as Lalah, Tsubasa Yonaga as Amuro, and Kaori Nazuka as Sayla. Their performances bring out the humorous settings of their characters to the fullest, and their skills as voice actors are on full display, especially in episodes such as Char's "I like being completely exposed" and Amuro's "Amuro can't go back."
