    Can anyone show a new-gundam-fag an easy guide to Gundam?

    Basically, I want to watch this shit. I looked on Wikipedia first, and holy cow there's a lot of Gundam there; I don't know what's canon/spin-off.

    I mean, okay, I begin at Mobile Suit Gundam, where do I go next and finish at?

    Everything besides the original, Zeta, and Char's Counterattack is technically a spin-off or an alternate universe series

    Might want to check out: http://ghostlightning.wordpress.com/specials/find-your-gateway-gundam/ and click on the bottom for a cool find-your-Gundam thing.

    But to explain: you need to know that there are different Gundam universes within the franchise. Universal Century (UC) is the original timeline of the series. This is when the first show, Mobile Suit Gundam (also known as Gundam 0079 because the fictional year is UC 0079), takes place.

    There are several other Gundam shows that take place in UC. Zeta Gundam, Gundam ZZ and Char's Counterattack are all direct sequels to the first Gundam and feature the same characters: namely, Amuro, Char and the rest of the gang.

    Other shows which are not direct sequels (i.e, featuring the same characters) also take place in UC. For instance, Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, Gundam 08th MS Team, and Gundam Unicorn.

    However, there are alternate universes which re-boot the Gundam franchise, and therefore take place in a different timeline. You do not need to know anything about the UC to watch these. These include shows such as Turn A Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and G Gundam (among others).

    As to where to start... depends on your tastes. If you want to try out the UC, it's a good bet to watch the compilation movies as opposed to the original TV series (which was canceled due to poor ratings anyway, but re-gained popularity with the movies).

    If you're more in to super robots, there's Gundam shows for that, despite Gundam as a whole being "real robot".

    Original -> 08th MS team -> 0083 Stardust memory -> Zeta -> Char's Counterattack -> Unicorn

    For best understanding of UC

    Ouch, there's no ZZ love in this thread at all.
    I admit the first 20 or so episodes are goofy as fuck, but that's the kind of thing I needed after sitting through Zeta.

    According to that link "Turn a Gundam" suits me best.

    So far I've only seen:
    Gundam Wing (only a few episodes)
    Gundam Seed (compilation movies)
    Gundam Seed Destiny (compilation movies)
    Zeta Gundam (compilation movies)
    Mobile Suit Gundam (compilation movies)
    Gundam 00
    Char's Counterattack
    Gundam 00 2nd Season (only halfway through)
    War in the Pocket
    Gundam Unicorn

    In exactly that order.

    Watch 08th Team

    Everything else is for cocking sucking faggots
    >> Anonymous 10/22/10(Fri)17:05 No.41603647
    whatever order you watch them in, make sure you save Turn A Gundam for last.

    also don't listen to the /m/aggots, Turn A is not that good.

    Way too late. But I actually found it pretty entertaining.

    Seed Destiny on the other hand...

    Don't fucking watch Seed or 00. It'll put you off of Gundam forever
    >> Anonymous 10/22/10(Fri)17:11 No.41603812
    I personally started with 00 and got hooked; now I'm watching Wing. I've heard it's good to start with some AU to get yourself acquainted with the basics of Gundam series.

    It actually IS that good

    and unlike what the image says, SEED is definitely part of the Correct Century timeline as is 00. Probably.

    might as well get the worst series out of the way first.

    Watch MSG, Zeta, Chars Counter-Attack and the UC based OVAs op.

    G Gundam is also acceptable if you like Super Robot shows.

    Gundam ZZ is that kind of anime which you hate at first but after some time you start to think it was really good shit.
