Where do I even start with this? The series has like 40 different entries

Where do I even start with this? The series has like 40 different entries.

From the beginning?

>Do I watch the first one or its 3rd sequel first?
Are you retarded?

...

Gundam 0079 movie trilogy
Zeta Gundam TV series
Optional: ZZ Gundam
Char's Counterattack, single movie


Do whatever you want after that

>MSG Movie

Series has better pacing and is overall a more solid package.

inb4 le salt meme

I don't know what to believe

...

>Series has better pacing
Except it doesn't, several MOTW episodes, stupid super robot comedy and stupid character deaths

The pacing is goddamn awful, it makes you watch 40 episodes out of which half are important. Not to mention it has awful animation

Only retarded /m/fags watch the old series, not even the japanese like it.

MSG into Zeta, if you can stomach it. Avoid ZZ, watch the rest of Universal Century in order

The original anime is legitimately better than its sequel. The movie may be better overall but 1979 is a solid watch.

I recently started it

Watch The Origin, then the 0079 series.

The Origin allows you to better understand character relationships from the get-go in the 007 series, even if it spoils a bit the "fun" of discovering them in hindsight if that's what you like, but there's enough to discover anyway without puzzling your mind with characters that do not speak to you.

Thanks

You are welcome. Also, there is no consensus about what is the best Gundam, even on /m/.

I'm sure most people would disagree with me, but if I were you, I would probably start with Unicorn.

>start with a series that is almost entirely based on history and references to previous UC Gundams

Why?

Lucky for you only a few are actually worth watching

This is very dumb.

Why

Start with the original Gundam 0079 television series.

The film adaptations are disgusting in comparison, don't bother with them

I got this advice and watched a show entirely of a references to characters and events i didnt know.

do not do this

>Unicorn.
>Entry level.

Pick one.

not the right guide, use this

alot of the events of the 0079 series have been retconned out of the current canon

Events surrounding M'Quve for example

the movie trilogy fits better with the modern gundam expanded universe

watch the origin ovas
watch the first 2 movies and then watch 08th MS Team and 0080 War in the Pocket
Then watch the 3rd movie and then watch Stardust Memory movie or series

after that read the english translation of Char's Deleted Affair and then start watching Zeta a New Translation

instead of watching the third Zeta movie watch episode 33-50 of Zeta Gundam proper and then watch ZZ

dont skip ZZ, it gets better after Puru appears and the fighting shifts to earth, its important plot development before CCA and Unicorn

>Optional: ZZ Gundam
It's as optional as anything else
