Where to Begin GUNDAM ?

Most people around here probably started with Gundam Wing which is it's own thing set in it's own universe so it's very self-contained and easy to pick up and isn't as dated.

Aside from that JUST START WITH MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM YOU RETARD

The original is very dated and it's hard to shake the 70s vibe from it but it is still an enjoyable series that's memorable and still has it's poignant moments and characters.

It's best to watch that first if you want to go on to watching Zeta Gundam which is the show which is more commonly thought of as the height of the series as most of Zeta is a contrast of the first series and can be lost of people just jumping in.

Wing is shit.

Just start with the original, then watch Zeta and then ZZ and finally Char's counter attack. After that watch whatever you want in any order.

>4 episode in ZZ
>Judau is even more shit than Amuro and Kamille in their worst states combined

>watching a franchise where every protagonist is a bratty kid by design
>complaining about bratty kid
It's whiny kids that ruin the potential of gundam to begin with, there's no point complaining now.

How about the beginning?

any AU series is a stand alone, find the one with the premise you like most

If you want the full Gundam experience, go to 0079

start the original if you're impatient just watch the compilation movies

then watch zeta, if you're impatient you can also just watch the compilation movies

then watch ZZ, if you're impatient just watch the last 10 episodes

then watch char's counter attack, it's a movie but if you're impatient you can watch the AMV on youtube.

then watch F91, it's also a movie but if you're impatient you can also watch the AMV on youtube.

that's the mainline, others are AU so you just can watch it randomly

Please, please, please don't start with Iron Menstruation as your first gundam show. It's a pretty terrible show despite being hyped by edgy teenagers. I highly recommend G-reco mainly for its visuals and the fact it's so far removed from the earlier UC timeline that you can easily follow.

Honestly it's all shit except for the first one.

>>150172168
Honestly it's all shit including the first one.

Why the fuck do we bother with this Gundam garbage in the first place?

>>150172168
Considering the amount of literal life time used to watch a series, avoid these:
- Iron-Blooded Orphans (Banrise is shilling it extremely hard, but it's a piece of shit as a show)
- AGE (had potential; shit the bed, and the huge A on the lead gundam was pretty stupid)
- G-reco (Tomino cannot into plot planning very good)
