I began with the 1st series because I had no reason to begin elsewhere.

I had no desire to get into gundam but a couple years ago where I was working at the time a couple coworkers kept talking about witch from mercury and seed so then I watched those 2 in that order and really enjoyed them. from there I did venture to watch Hathaway and unicorn the only issue is that I didn't know I had to follow the storyline so I didn't enjoy Hathaway cuz I was confused. after a while I found a video detailing the order to watch gundam and I was gifted my first gunpla last christmas from there its been a journey I just started ZZ and I even got my brother to get in the journey too. I will say this as of now witch from mercury or seed is probably my favorite and my favorite gundam is the strike freedom thats the only good thing to come out of destiny.

My first experience is with the Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. Its story is so meaningful and impactful that it led me to watch other gundam series such as the 1979, zeta, double zeta, etc.

I started with the original after getting recommended the franchise by a couple of friends I played Yu-Gi-Oh with. Zeta Gundam is my personal favourite so far, so I hope you enjoy it.

My first was The Origin tv version. I turned out fine as I enjoyed it enough watch the main UC stuff (0079 thru CCA). And as much as I love The Origin, it’s really best appreciated after watching the original series.

I think that was in 2019 & 2020, & it took me all the way until Witch from Mercury until I began exploring non-UC!

My first Gundam experience was when I saw a clip of the attack on the Colony in Gundam 91, when the artillery piece hit the pour mom. I decided to watch every Gundam series.

My first was SEED. Did not think much about Gundam at that time.

Watched 00 many years later. Got interested and watched every UC~

I somehow started with Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket of all entries in the franchise lol. My friend who is also a big fan helped me with the UC watch order.

Check my introduction to Char´s Counterattack interest stack if you´re interested in watching UC Gundam. Also check my Legend of the Galactic Heroes OVA Chronological Watch Order for LoGH info!

Gundam Wing in the 90s, loved it so much then saw Mobile Fighter G Gundam before finally getting into the UC shows in middle and high school in the 2000s, which are now my preferred Gundam series’, I love em all but UC Gundam has the best intrigue and I love the technological evolution of mobile suits along the timeline.

Wing, when it aired on Brazilian TV (it was the 90's)

recently a friend was talking a lot about Gundam, then I re-watched it (+endless waltz) and then went through all the UC Gundam (in release order)

@andreichrizz I'm loving Iron Blooded Orphans so much, and it's the peakest experience I'll ever get in this franchise, this one's well known as I can tell, and omg it's so good! It broke me twice

I also started from G-Witch! Then, I watched GQuuuuuuX this year, I was confused by the plot and watched 0079, and I should probably rewatch GQuuuuuuX at some point too. And just yesterday, I watched Char's Counterattack, and now it seems I'm getting into the better stuff of the franchise (I'm planning to watch most of the stuff in release order, so next is Stardust)
Please do not get offended by my takes; I have shit taste.
