So I just finished watching Gundam Unicorn Re:0096 and aside from watching the first 20 ish episodes of Iron Blooded Orphans and a few episodes of Reconguista in G, i've never been able to get into Gundam.
When I tried to watch other Gundam series I've never been able to get into it because they always seem to start with another series worth of backstory, so are there any series like Gundam Unicorn Re:0096 that are good and don't require an intimate knowledge of the series to get into?
unicorn is fucking garbage
>>149782444
Unicorn is at the end of the Early UC timeline..
>>149782444
>are there any series like Gundam Unicorn Re:0096 that are good and don't require an intimate knowledge of the series to get into?
Gundam WING.
G Gundam
>none of this whiny bitchy teenage angst shit
>none of this overplayed muh war between earth and space people shit.
>kickass martial arts moves
>stereotypical as fuck designs for gundams
>Rain is hot and squeezes into the latex suit
>Master Fucking Asia

why the fuck are you still here? Go watch G Gundam, pleb.
>>149782474
How so?
>>149782492
I'll give it a bash
>>149782491
are there any gundam series set after unicorn?
>Gundam Unicorn Re:0096
Why would you watch shitty tv rips instead same thing in BD quality?
>Unicorn
>don't require an intimate knowledge of the series
You fucking high?
People still watching this shit?
Weeb fuckin shit
>>149782784
>>Unicorn
>>don't require an intimate knowledge of the series
>You fucking high?
I was able to follow the plot just fine after some confusion through the first few episodes when I had no idea what the fuck a psycho frame was or what a newtype is, or what the one year war was.
>>149782894
Those terms are integral to the story since Unicorn is the end of the basic conflict of early UC.
There are a lot of AUs that are standalone series. Pick one you fancy.
>>149782542
>are there any gundam series set after unicorn?
G-recoprobably not canon
>>149782894
I came here to laugh at you
>>149782444
Why not start from the beginning? You can even watch the movie trilogies for 0079 and Zeta if you don't want to watch hundreds of episodes.
>>149782992
Thanks for the chart anon
>>149783142
Something about the original just seems unappealing to me, the only reason I started watching Reconguista in G was because the character designs were done by the guy that did the character designs for Eureka Seven.
Regardless i'll probably give the films a try at some point.
>>149782444
>watching the terribly cut TV broadcast when the OVAs (aka how it was originally meant to be viewed) are already available for ages
>>149783283
I understand why you'd find it unappealing but you really should give it a shot, there's a reason it's such a huge classic.
Also ignore anyone that says ZZ is bad and that you should skip it, it's actually pretty great even if you're not the type to like the first 15 or so episodes because of the new tone.
>>149783355
How much of a problem is the stock footage?
It's one of those things that takes me right out of the experience when I notice it. For example in Eureka Seven they use stock footage of the scub corals way too much over the course of the series, they even use it in the movie too.
>>149783680
Stock footage isn't really a thing in the early series as far as I could tell, of course they reuse animation for transformation scenes and the like but it's nowhere near as bad as Wing and Seed.
>>149783708
Alright then, is there a specific version that I should get?
>>149783832
If there's an [EG] version get it, it's pretty much always the best.
>>149783886
Thanks anon
>>149782444
>that are good and don't require an intimate knowledge of the series to get into?
Unicorn is one of the series with more backstory, if you don't want begin with the original try one of the alternate universe. Seed or 00 are good places to start.
>>149782444
I cracked up reading this.
>>149782444
you watched a shitty and butchered edit of the OVAs, that was your first problem.
>>149782542
>are there any gundam series set after unicorn?
F91, Victory,Crossbone, Turn-A, and G-Reco off the top of my head
If you want to watch a gundam series that don't require an intimate knowledge of the series to get into then watch the AUs
>>149782444
I would stay away from anything written or directed by Tomino. Good Gundam has him in the staff only as original creator and nothing else.
Good:
War in the Pocket
Stardust Memories
Thundebolt
MS Team
>>149783032
I remember having my hair like that.
Felt comfy as fuck,
Is there an english translation of the novel that Gundam Unicorn was based on?
>>149782444
>Starting with IBO and Unicorn 0096
>Not watching Ova Unicorn
Go start with Seed Destiny instead. I'm sure you can totally understand that "masterpiece."
>>149786115
>I would stay away from anything written or directed by Tomino
Dumbass.
>Good
>Stardust Memories
>Thundebolt
>MS Team
Retard.
>>149782444
>don't require an intimate knowledge of the series to get into?
Every other Gundam Series that is not in UC timeline, you moron.
Almost all Gundam series have their own setting, except for those that are in UC timeline and Seed Destiny, which is a sequel to Seed.
>>149782444
Ive watched the first and the zeta movies, 08th Ms, Stadust, Unicorn, Origin and Thunderbolt. Was thinking of giving something not UC a try. Is Wing bad? Liked the Toonami trailer on Youtube
>>149783283
Fucking pleb don't watch gundam if youre not even gonna watch 0079
>>149790054
People should entertain themselves with what they find entertaining.
>>149782444
>watching the inferior release of one of the most backstory/ homage/ reference heavy Gundam anime second only to Build Fighters, a pure fanservice anime, as your first Gundam
how
>>149790403
With no knowledge of the series beyond the first series of IBO and the first few episodes of Reconguista in G
Just as a point of interest by the way, Gundam Unicorn was easier to follow than Reconguista in G.
