| I've watched Mobile Suit Gundam, Char's Counterattack, Gundam f91, 08th MS Team, and Gundam Wing. I also like to build the gunpla. Which Gundam series-es do you recommend most? Which ones do you think are best left avoided? Which one is your favorite? Do you also like to build the gunpla? Have you NOT watched any gundam, but have an opinion on it anyway? Discuss below.  |

Hmm, this is all the gundam i watched
My favorite is easily 08th Ms Team, primarily for the low-key nature of the story and the romance. I haven't yet decided which I will continue with, however Zeta seems the most promising. |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| I recommend to watch: Unicorn, 0080: War in the Pocket and Turn A Gundam. And if you like trashy shows - Mobile Fighter G Gundam (it has the most laughable robots and most ridiculous story) I recommend to avoid: Wing and 00. |

My knowledge of the mecha genre is very nonexistent and I have been wondering if Gundam is good mecha series to start with or should I watch some others for context before it. I've seen like Code Geass and that's it. Gundam is a great mecha series to start out with. The reason the franchise is seen as a classic is due to the fact that it essentially created the subgenre of "real robot", as opposed to "super robot", which was kinda the only type of mecha anime we had before Gundam came along. The distinction is that mecha in "super robot" anime don't usually explain where the mecha comes from. The origins of the robot are mysterious and often left unexplained/unknown. Gurren Lagann is probably the most well-known example of a super robot show. But Gundam made an effort to have their mecha more grounded in reality, attempting to (sort of) explain how the mecha work using science and establishing that the universe has the required technology to believably create something like a mecha. Zeta is fantastic. If you ask me, it's basically an improvement upon the original Gundam in every way. I'm surprised you've seen Char's Counterattack already. That's way later in the UC timeline than Zeta. |

| Sadly for me I have yet to see the Universal Century Gundams. It's the main reason why I have not touched Unicorn yet... I have seen: G Gundam Gundam Wing Turn A Gundam Gundam SEED/Destiny Gundam 00 Gundam Reconguista in G and Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans. G Gundam is actually one of my very first anime. It's cheesy and action-heavy, but it being different from every other Gundam is what made it memorable. I personally liked Gundam Wing, especially the Gundam designs. The story was interesting, but it was a bit of a drag to watch. Among all the Gundams I've seen, I still consider Heero Yuy and Zechs Marquise to be the best Gundam Pilots in the franchise. My personal favorite is Turn A Gundam. Loved the story, the ending, and has my favorite female anime character of all time. Definitely worth watching, but it is preferred that you watch another Gundam before Turn A. Gundam SEED sucks. Gundam SEED Destiny sucks more. But they are among the most successful Gundam series in the franchise. Honestly, I personally would have to recommend them because the creator of SEED also did Cross Ange, my favorite anime of all time. And you have to watch SEED/Destiny to catch all the references in Cross Ange. Also the OST for SEED/Destiny is among the best that you'll hear in the Gundam Franchise. Gundam 00 is quite similar to Gundam Wing which is why I see many users recommend one or the other after watching one of them. Season 1 was great. Season 2 was...well...the action was still great. And the movie...well...the action is great in that too... Gundam Reconguista in G...Well...I did find the designs appealing. I did like the old school animation, and the design of the G-Self and all of its armors was a cool touch, but the story just flew over my head. Yes I'm an idiot, but that's me. I personally do not recommend Reco-G, but I'm not stopping you if you're trying to watch all the Gundams. And Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans...I had high hopes for this. Unfortunately the person responsible for series composition had to be Mari Okada aka the woman who likes to make her characters talk...a lot....The action scenes were great, but were few and far between. The characters were ok for the most part, though there were a few around whose purpose was just to get on your nerves. And the ending was something that I liked but at the same time didn't like. What I mean by that is "I liked what it was going for, but I don't like how they did it." But I say that the series is worth watching because the story is rather different from the usual political conflicts that most other Gundam series are about. |

Jare4lopez said: This thread sure is helpful . Gotta watch the first Gundam tho and have never watched such an old series. The original series is solid. It lays the foundation for Gundam's marvelous world pretty well, and the writing still holds up in most ways. The show does have some filler, specifically in the first half, but if you can manage to will yourself past some of those early episodes then you should be fine. I would also say another thing holding the original Gundam back is the animation quality. Even by 1979 standards, it's not the best and contains a lot of low quality rush jobs. You can tell the show wasn't made with a super high budget. The recap movie trilogy is definitely a solid alternative if you feel like any of the deterrents I listed above will bother you. |

I just don't like recap movies. They tend to be rushed and fast-paced. |
| If you have the possibility to buy manga then also read Gundam the Origin. It's the original story improved, the characters are much more developted. |

| @salokannel2 Going by production order is a great way to get into the series. Yes. |
| @salokannel2 if you like a more shounen take on mecha, the alternate timeline shows are preferable. Though to be fair, the ALT timelines offer a variety of anime flavors (and some of them are close to the UC war/political drama feel). Imo. Start with the original Mobile Suit Gundam, and/or pick an alt timeline show. If you can't decide, go by MAL score. A lot of gundam is on crunchyroll, so you can sample gundam until you find a series you like |

| I only watched gundam 00 and I liked it (gave both seasons an 8). I also found the character designs to e appealing (especially lockon's) I don't think I have time for the other gundams though. |
| Hey, @Crusader_8, good to see you survived the apocalypse. I'm not a big Gundam fan. Macross is more my jam (until Delta, that is) but I've seen some Gundam stuff. I highly recommend the OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. It's not long (since it is an OVA) and it was good enough to warrant a DVD purchase (I think the Blu-Ray is coming out soon, too). Aside from that, I have watched everything you have. The only thing I've seen that you haven't is Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. I watched it in college (forever ago) and I thought it was pretty good back then, but I haven't seen it since then, really. (My fansubbed VHS tapes are in a box in the garage and I don't have a VCR anymore so... I'm probably not going to rewatch it anytime soon, either.) |
| I have stepped my foot on the Gundam universe for quite some time but I only have managed to finish both seasons of Iron Blooded Orphans abd Gundam Build Fighters with Tryand the first season of 00. All of which I like. That said I have a lot of Gundam series on hold. I have 22 ep of Seed, 2 episode of Turn A, and 5 episode of the original. All I can say is that I'm certainly interested in the franchise but I think it'll take some time to actually really finish lol. |
| I'm quite a big Gundam fan now, but it wasn't always this way. You see, I was first exposed to Gundam in the late 90s with "Wing," and it was okay, but kinda mediocre. Then, the dreaded "SEED" came on TV, and turned me off from the Gundam Franchise for years. I didn't come to appreciate the mecha genre until I saw Macross(as Robotech) on TV reruns when I was in my late teens. Fast forward to May 2018. I decided to start Gundam from the beginning, with the original 1979 series, and it was awesome. It literally turned me into a Gundam fan, and I finally understood why this franchise is so popular. After that, I watched "War in the Pocket" and "Stardust Memory," and I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. Then, I watched "Zeta," which which was pretty much almost as good as the first Gundam. One of my favorite mobile suits so far, would have to be the "Rick Dias." Go ahead, laugh at me, but I think that the Rick Dias is awesome, and if I ever get into Gunpla, the Rick Dias is probably going to be my first purchase, either a HG or a MG. I've never built Gunpla before, so I should probably start with the HG. I'm going to be watching "ZZ" next. |

Knightmare_YK said: What do I need to watch before watching Turn a Gundam and https://myanimelist.net/anime/10937/Mobile_Suit_Gundam__The_Origin?q=Mobile%20Suit%20Gun I'd recommend being well-versed in the Gundam franchise, especially the Universal Century, before watching Turn A. Origin takes place before the first Gundam, but I don't know if I'd watch it first. As a general rule of thumb, every person new to Gundam should watch the first Gundam series(0079), then "Zeta," then "ZZ," then "Char's Counterattack." Also, there are other side stories, like "War in the Pocket" and "Stardust Memory." You can watch those two before Zeta, but not before 0079. |

It's by far one of the longest series I've attempted to watch (105 entries) compared to past franchises I've seen such as Fate (44), Gintama (16) and even GITS (16).

| You should definitely watch: Zeta Gundam which teakes place 7 years after the first series and is the second in the series to be made. Gundam the Origin which revolves around Char and the world before the first series. War in the Pocket which is set around 0079. Unicorn which is set 17 years after the first series. Gundam Unicorn is moreover one of my favourite shows of all time. You should follow the UC timeline since that is where the best shows are from. |
| This is a good thread. I am trying to review all the gundam series. I would say I am about 50% done with all of them. The reviews are on my page if you want to check it out. |
| Well i've only finished Mobile Fighter G Gundam and Iron Blood Orphans, Both which I really enjoyed. I do plan on watching more gundam in the future but the only ones that caught my attention were, Unicorn, 00, and 0083. |
Seiya said: AshitaNoJonas said: Why the fuck did you skip Zeta you coward I just noticed that myself. Not only that, but he skipped the 0079 series, and just watched the 3 movies instead. I haven't seen Char's Counterattack yet, but it makes me wonder if you can even understand what's going on without seeing Zeta and ZZ. I actually did the same thing with the movie trilogy (shame on me!). Someday I go back and watch the full TV series too. |
If you don't mind that the fact it is far less organic show than the first Gundam unable to keep a straightndirection, has terribly awkward dialogues written by Tomino himself in so many episodes (even important ones!). The soap -opera tone used at times in the original Gundam is almost constantly at full power here, becoming excruciating after a few episodes be it focused on the teenagers or the adults. What Tomino tried to express through certain characters was great, but it's not coming out smoothly, instead you will usually intellectualize it after the facts (while it won't look "logical" at first) Still, it's interesting and innovative. And for the ones who liked the soap-opera touch in the original, it is certainly perfect. @Seiya The movies are a refined version. (not as perfected as The Origin but still less random than the TV show for most parts) And congratulations for trying the initial stories. ^^ |

| I am also a huge Gundam fan, watched my first series (Seed Destiny) about 9 years ago. Gundam 00 is one the best Gundam series created so you should definitely pick that up. I noticed you watched the original series and Char's counterattack but in between that is Zeta Gundam which is probably in my top 5 Gundam series. ZZ Gundam is a sequel to that, but I would avoid this one since it was a mess. There's also Gundam Origins which revolves around Char, and if like me you also like Char, you should definitely check it out. Aside from Universal Century there is Seed and Seed Destiny, the latter seems to get a lot of hate I personally thought that it was okay for the most part except for the second half of the series when it started going downhill, it's up to you if you want to watch this or avoid this, I personally recommend you to watch it if you do start watching the original Seed series. Iron-Blooded Orphans was one of the more recent series that came out, this one is really good but get ready for a feels trip. If you want something different from the regular Gundam series you can check out Mobile Fighter G Gundam or the original Gundam Build Fighter series, these aren't your typical Gundam series, the concept is different in them. My goal is to watch every Gundam series but I keep getting side tracked and haven't made much progress XD If you need more recommendations feel free to contact me. |

This may sound dumb, but I lost motivation to watch anime while MAL was down... once I could access my list, I got back to it I'm not a big Gundam fan. Macross is more my jam (until Delta, that is) but I've seen some Gundam stuff. I highly recommend the OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. It's not long (since it is an OVA) and it was good enough to warrant a DVD purchase (I think the Blu-Ray is coming out soon, too). I saw one episode of 0080 back when it was on toonami, and I have it on DVD waiting to be watched. It helps that it has Macross's character designer iirc, or something to that effectAside from that, I have watched everything you have. The only thing I've seen that you haven't is Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. I watched it in college (forever ago) and I thought it was pretty good back then, but I haven't seen it since then, really.

You should have watched Zeta between original MSG and Char’s Counterattack. You would have better understanding of Char as a character if you watch in order of original MSG, Zeta, CCA, The Origin. Also, Zeta cleans up messy New-Type concept way better than most of Gundam series. AshitaNoJonas said: Why the fuck did you skip Zeta you coward see above Seiya said: I saw a handful of episodes while they were first on toonami. When I had the chance to purchase a boatload of anime, my choice was to buy the whole series or the recap movies. I read several reviews, from sources I find trustworthy, which said the recap films for 0079 are unusually good if you can handle the pacing. At some point down the road, when my budget allows it, I will buy the series too - I'm just not sure what it will add that the movies didn't already convey. I know that superfans have a "No trivial detail left behind!" attitude, which is mostly why I hate manga snobs who do nothing but whine about anime adaptations, but that's a topic for a different thread. I just noticed that myself. Not only that, but he skipped the 0079 series, and just watched the 3 movies instead. |
