They're all Mobile Suits

There are a small subset of superweapon Mobile Suits, they're Gundams

What exactly makes a Gundam a Gundam varies depending on the series

If it has the yellow V-fin on its head, it's a Gundam.

Gundams are super mobile suits. There are also mobile armors, which are mobile suits but way bigger and generally exist to be boss fights.

None of this makes any sense if you haven't seen Gundam, Zeta Gundam, ZZ Gundam, and Char's Counterattack.

One of these doesn't even have an English dub.

Well it kind of has to. Mineva and her caretaker along with Neo Zeon were kind of important there.

So, I know Camus is Char, so I'm just going to assume that mean Minerva is Mineva and go about my day. Equating these characters to Fire Emblem seems easiest.

Turns out it's a bad idea to show something like this as the second Gundam series of your rebooted block aimed primarily at casual anime fans.

I have seen way more Gundam series than probably 90% of people who would call themselves anime fans

And even I can't follow this series at all

To be fair the only old Gundam that might get shown on Toonami now is G Gundam, and even then it's doubtful.

you're a lying sack, and I know that for two reasons:

A) Why the gently caress would anything- ANYTHING- related to IBO be good

B) Why the gently caress would anything- ANYTHING- Gundam be good
