Can I consider myself a "Gundam" fan if I had only watched the Universal Century entries in the serie? Tried the other alternative universes but they were all shit.

Ask /m/ council

You have to have watched all the tomino gundam shows, so get onto turn A and G-reco and you'll be certified in no time

AU are cheap bootlegs.

Name me a single good non-UC Gundam entry.

Protip: You can't.

I hope you aren't implying that UC Gundam isn't shit. Other than 0080 everything is crap.

uc < gbf

G-Gundam and Turn A.

Weird, I felt the opposite. UC entries were usually boring because they were directed by Tomino, but the AUs were usually a bit better.

>not sucking the sunrise dick until the end
You either go all in or not at all

Watch Turn A and g Gundam. both of those are good.

G-gundam is GOAT everyone who says otherwise has irredeemable shit taste.
The same goes for build fighters if you don't like build fighters then you are not a true gundam fan.
Not liking the second season of build fighters is fine though, except if you hate based Minato then you still have shit taste.
This the objective truth and can not be refuted.

This, and Wing and Seed are better versions of UC too.
X and Turn A are also god tier.
00 is boring though.

The last quarter of 0079 is good

I remember an user mentioning he watched like 30-40% of all Gundam out, and none of it was UC. Other anons in the thread didn't really care to make him watch UC.

This, what's with all those babies only watching the "good" parts of a franchise? That's not how you otaku.

I agree I thought the series was okay with some good episodes like those Zeon soldiers who planted bombs on the gundam, but everything post Jaburo was god tier in my opinion.

Watch Gundam Build fighters then yes

Rate my taste

Why do elevens like Hirai so much?

>Turn-A

UC leads directly to Turn A timeline

>wing, seed
>good
You're a stupid idiot.

Wing and Seed actually have good characters, unlike the weird bumbling autists in Tomino series. Seed also has a more fluid narrative with not as much forced "battle of the week"

Childhood is when you idolize Zeta
Adulthood is when you realize ZZ makes more sense.

Why does everybody hate wing, I watched it when I was in kindergarten and I liked it eventhough I couldn't speak english or read subtitles.

Unironically this

>Wing and Seed actually have good characters
That's one way to admit you're a complete idiot. I don't even like Tomino's writing, but to suggest the writing in Wing and Seed is good confirms your stupidity.

Tell me how Rasara died, user.

The worst kind of preachy characters.
Main characters mobile suits were comically overpowered, and completely out of the bounds of realism.
The most dull and monotonous dialogue ever seen in the franchise.
Garbage animation, worse than Zeta's which was 10 years old at the time.

Of course. Only timeline that matter. AU is just repeating of same shaite to sell more toys to new manchild generation. Also Jewdough>Amuro>Kamiu

Why does anyone want to be recognized as a "Gundam" fan?

If you do you've fallen for Bandai/Sunrise's trap and now you're giving your money over to them through gunpla/merch/BDs.
They're selling brand name, not products.

I just wish they went all out like GBF more often.

I agree but
>Jewdough>Amuro>Kamiu
Shit taste all around and should be the reverse desu

Great: Turn A
Good: G, X
Would have been good with two more cours: G Reco
Bad: Wing, OO
Garbage: SEED, AGE

kys or go back to /m/

Seed actually has the deepest characters of any Gundam. Kira, Athrun, Flay, Sai, Cagalli, Lacus, Shinn, Durandal, the list goes on with complex, thought-provoking, memorable characters. No other Gundam has such a long list.

00 first season was pretty good for me, it started off slow is my main complaint.

No. You need to watch Turn A.

>Seed actually has the deepest characters of any Gundam
Hello idiot.

Enlightenment is realizing that Elle is best girl and the desert arc and colony drop in ZZ trumps everything else in UC.

Not an argument.

00 could have been good. The first season was decent but the characters are all dull as shit.

00 is basically just the poor man's Wing

>G-Gundam
>Gundam
You might as well have called it Getter Robo and no one would have known a difference.

>calling G-gundam shit
worst taste
>g reco
What a pointless waste of time
>Seed
>better than UC
Okay now you're just talking out of your ass.

I just finished Zeta. Should I watch ZZ? Anons tell me its p bad but worth watching for Judau.

From what I have heard if you loved Zeta you will hate ZZ and if you hated Zeta you will love ZZ.

Those people might just self-insert.

>gundam
more like : goddamn

ZZ is better than Zeta because it's all about Haman

Get out, marshmallow man.

AUs are all fanfic-tier trash. Remain pure, stay with the source.

T H I C C

Victory Gundam is an 8-9

>Hating based marshmallow

I thought late episodes of 0079 were kinda rushed, but it may be because I know it was cut abruptly.

all gundam shows suck, the only good things are the toys
and 0080

>the only good things are the toys
Fuck yeah dude

Does it shoot three times as fast or three Arrows at once?

I tried watching though the entire Gundam series in broadcast order a while back.

I conked out in Victory Gundam. There's just nothing appealing in it.

It's been ages since I watched any of it, I'm starting to wonder if I should just skip it and start watching G Gundam.

Just force yourself through it. I forced myself through all of Wing, X, 08th MS Team, Turn A, Seed, Destiny, MS IGLOO, and 00 in just a few weeks. It wasn't very enjoyable but it felt good marking them complete on MAL after.

Even non-Tomino UC is better than AU. The best AU made was Turn A which was Tomino, and turned out to be UC anyway.

Actually the deepest character in all of Gundam is Char. You could write textbooks on that character's psychology. There's a reason why every Gundam afterwards has it's own Char clone that fails to live up to the original.

If you go in to ZZ expecting more Zeta then you'll be disappointed. If you go in knowing that it's two different shows, with two very different tones (at least initially) then you might be able to enjoy it.

>start watching G Gundam.
You should do this anyway.
G-gundam is fun as fuck and a great change of pace.
Also watch the english dub, no really I am 100% serious.

I enjoyed ZZ a lot but it starts off VEEEEEERY slow and you will complain about certain scenes.
Example, CLOSE THE DAMN COCKPIT.

G-Gundam, Turn A, Build Fighters (not try), i would say G-reco but its technically UC. G-Savior

What does Haman smell like?

you need to obsess over designs and minor dialogue inconsistencies, plus invade other threads complaining about any series made after 1989.

>implying a true Gundam fan would complain about Stardust Memory and Turn A
