>>156525984
This some sort of pasta?

Xabungle, it handles all of the themes of evolution and society better than Gundam. Seriously though, the 0079 movie trilogy and 0080 for the best "realistic" gundams and G Gundam for just being Kung-Fu robot tournament. 00 season 1 is also great. I also have a soft spot for X and Iron Blooded Orphens, but they are more mid level. Turn-A is worth a watch since the cold war angle is an interesting take. AGE gets more flak than it deserves but is still mostly wasted potential (and the worst about harping on "war is bad" too)

0079 is great.
0080 is decent to good.
Prefer 0083 over 08th MS Team.
Hate Unicorn.

Stargazer and EW best OVAs.
AoTB best Gundam movie, only contrarian faggots and normalfags hate ayyylmaoos.
G-Reco a good.
00 a good even if S2 wasn't as good as S1, show never stopped being entertaining.

>>156534158
You should try finishing 00 because you're missing out on the best mobile suit in the franchise it's fucking Guncannon

>>156534158
try the original tv series, 0080, or 08th ms team
if you like the original chances are there are things you'll like in the rest of the franchise
0080 is a side story taking place towards the end of the original tv series, it focuses more on characters and doesn't have a whole lotta time focused on mecha action but when it does it's gorgeous and some of the best animation in the franchise
08th is a mixed bag, it's also set during the original series and is another side story. It focuses on a group of slightly elevated grunts rather than one or two full on ace pilots. like >>156534209 said the first half is pretty good but iirc the director or someone involved with the show died part of the way through production

>What would be a good starting point for Gundam?

the Movie Trilogy

>>156534705
This going to blow your mind, but get ready. You start with the first one, and then watch in production order.

>>156534705
Mobile suit Gundam, 0080 for if you wondered why the mc never got an upgrade
Then 08th Ms so you can get 30% cool military shit and 70% shit
Then zeta

>>156534705
0079 tv is the best intro to the franchise as a whole
Zeta is a sequel to 0079 so don't listen if someone tells you to start there
There are a couple AU series most with their own defining features, a lot of people started with Gundam Wing because it aired on Toonami, I personally got bored of Wing part of the way through and stopped but it's probably not a horrible way to start

>>156534705
The tv version of MSG is the starting point both in production and in story so go with that
The movies are an acceptable substitute only for rewatching, you should really watch the tv series first because the movies cut a LOT
Some of the stuff they cut was okay to cut but there is also shittons of character development and nice interactions lost because of it

>>156534903
Surely The Origin is the starting point in the story?

>>156534903
and what does the origin start with? the same beginning of 0079
the ovas are just flashbacks that happen during the origin manga but the origin starts at the same place

1. Turn A
2. 0079
3. War in the Pocket

>>156543568
Pretty much all Gundam has some latent "anti-war-isms" in it, but I would say that's just kinda typical of the genre. I don't think most are as overt as Seed was (especially not seed destiny).

if I say Turn A is the best will I fit in too?

>>156543927
Good thing I never watched Destiny then, because the amount of anti-war in Seed was already getting on my nerves especially with how so on the nose it was and relentless

Then I watched 08 MS Team and it was less present there at least, at first, but even then its mostly between two soldiers who want to escape from war not start a mercenary fleet trying to end war by fighting in the war as a third party, it was so stupid.

I watched Seed longer than I watched 08MS Team so maybe I'm not remembering the details exactly right but still

>>156543737
thats literally the purpose of this anime isn't it to show cool robots right ?

>>156544063
Seed and Seed Destiny kinda blend together in my head, so I can't remember how far exactly Seed goes. Destiny is definitely even worse on that front.

UC Gundam certainly isn't nearly as overt and you don't have retarded stuff like disabling enemies without killing them because fighting is bad lol.

MS Team had a bit of that but damn near everyone dies anyways especially on the medivac ship so that kind of idealistic pacifism the commander engaged in ended up doing nothing anyways.

Also are there any more Gundam shows where the fighting is done in urban environments, using buildings or other terrain as cover? I really love that about 08

"What is your favorite Gundam and why?

The first Gundam. It was created by the two masters, director Tomino and character designer and animator Yasuhiko. I do like the current Gundam Unicorn and I also like 0083, but I have 2 mentors and they are Tomino and Yasuhiko. The two of them taught me a lot while working on the original Gundam."

I was never a fan of gundam until my friend tried to get me into it. I don't really like many of the designs and I had never watched any gundam anime until he told me to watch thunderbolt. Even though I still wasn't the biggest fan of the designs I really enjoyed seeing well animated robot action and I want to see some more. Where should I start if I want to watch some gundam anime with good fights and good story?

>>156525949
LOL

>>156548146
I say the first one is the best one.
Animation is very dated, but the fight choreography is pretty good.
Also the last third of the show is fantastic.
If you want some animation porn stardust memory, Char's Counter Attack, Unicorn and G-reco would be more your speed.
I haven't watched the latter two yet, but I know that the first three rely on that you have watched the first three series and the story is kind of weak for all 4 them from what I have seen and have heard, except for maybe CCA.
G-gundam is a very fun show, very cheesy and hotblooded.
I would actually recommend watching the dub of G-gundam since it only adds to the over the top cheesy ham the series is.
I heard 00 is also pretty cool, but I haven't watched it yet either.

>>156548146

other than the retarted romance, what makes MS 8th different?
A friend of mine told me once that "you either like MS 08th or regular Gundam"

>>156548962
Retarded*

>>156548962
I would say that it's mainly the UNDERSTANDING aspect of it. Gundam has always had that theme to some extent (ex. Amuro and Lalah), but some series hype it up way out of control. 08th goes full retard with it imo, but it's not the only one. AGE and Seed Destiny are also victims of excessive understanding.

>>156548922
It's sad that one of the best gundam series in years was followed by one of the worst gundam series in years.

>>156549038
Now you just brought back memories of the constant /m/ threads shitting on Try all the time. That series was one of the worst failures I have ever seen.

>>156548772
Amuro and his Gundams are pretty good but if I'm not mistaken, Uso has the highest kill count. I don't know if grunts amount to much for displaying actual skill though.

Personally, I like Garrod and the Gundam X even if he gets shown up multiple times. Judau is a good protagonist and Double Zeta is a cool Gundam but unfortunately neither he or Garrod are exceptionally skilled compared to other pilots.

>>156544603
The Rx-78 (for the barrel version), Nu/Hi-Nu, XI, f91, Victory, turn a, 00quanta, g-self, freedom, Destiny, and star build strike are high up there for me.

>>156525750

>>156525351
Probably 0079, 00, Victory or Turn A

Is Origin worth watching?
How are the action scenes?

>>156535167
The origin manga is a sort of retelling.
The anime version of the origin is a flashback of a very important character, I wouldn't watch it before at least knocking out 0079 and Zeta.

0079 - 7.5/10
Zeta - 6.5/10
CCA - 5.5/10
0080 - 7/10
0083 - 6/10
F91 - 5.5/10 (possible 7/10 if it weren't a movie)
Victory - 6.5/10
Wing - 5/10
Endless Waltz - 4/10
X - 7/10
08th - 5/10
Turn-A - 7.5/10

I've finished watching Turn-A yesterday, and it was a damn great ride, even if the outcome of the final duel was a bit what-inducing with its NANOMACHINES, but the kind of mindfucking what I've mostly loved in Tomino Gundams when they're about to end.

I've accidentally glossed over ZZ and G for some reason, and am aiming to watch ZZ and Unicorn before Twilight Axis starts airing, as apparently TA builds upon Unicorn which builds upon ZZ.

>>156557239
I have some questions concerning your post. First off, you expect me to go back to MAL by simply telling me to go back. Do you seriously believe I'll do that because you told me to? Are you sure I will and if so, where does that confidence originate from?

You don't give me any reasons or arguments to do so. When you tell someone on the intetnet to kill themselves, do you expect them to actually kill themselves, or do you expect something else? I've found that on the internet I don't have to do what other people tell me to, which allows me to question the meaning behind their posts and the original intent of the author. In this case your intent is rather vague, I have no idea whether you are suggesting something or are just posting unconstructive drivel for the intent of evoking a reaction out of other users (what kind of reaction, I wouldn't know), as your post seems to come out of left field with no clear reason why it was posted.

Secondly, in the case that your post was an attempt at criticism, do you believe that unconstructive 'criticism' such as telling others to go to the Yahoo homepage is a valid means of fostering serious high-level discussion, while contributing to the board quality of /a/ and setting a positive example to other users? When you have posted a lengthy deconstruction of an anime series you just watched and someone out of the blue tells you to go back to MAL, do you reel your head back in a fit of euphoria and say to yourself 'yes, this is what /a/ should be like'?

Low-effort unconstructive posts are detrimental to the board quality as a whole, and only foster a culture of chaotic bickering where everyone is only trying to get cheap laughs with as little effort as possible, fooling themselves into a sense of superiority by acting detached from current events and poking at anyone serious enough to actually care.

>>156549440
Hayashi Yuuki is a fucking miracle.

Disregard UC fags. Especially disregard anyone recommending 0079 as "best gundam".

The show is absolute crap - in terms of pacing, animation, plot and characters. It was so crap it got canned and removed from TV before it finished airing. Only retarded western "i am cool since i marathoned all Gundam after watching WING" /m/ fags would praise it.

Zeta is what made Gundam popular. 0079 is relevant merely as foundation of universum and core plot points.

As opposed for example still good SDF Macross, which as opposed to it was actually phenominally popular in Japan, 0079 didnt age well - especially as it wasnt good to begin with.

UC in general is shit. Best Tomino "timeline" is "vague alternate UC" aka 0079 -> After War - > Turn A -> G Reko (and you can skip 0079 since its only relevant for colony drop in that aspect).

There is no better expert than Tomino in Gundam, being it creator - and the above is currently his interpretation of Gundam events (he put the end of UC, an bad and unsuccessful universe in his eyes with Victory, and rewriten events better to suit what he wanted to say with above).

>>156558247
How have no idea what you're talking about.

0079 is great because of its characters, interactions, world building and themes. The animation is poor and the pacing flawed but that doesn't stop it from being an enjoyable and good show.

>Zeta is what made Gundam popular

This. I recently watched it and it's probably one of if not the best shonen I've ever watched.

Literally the only complaint I have about it is that it mistreated the Twins and that they got a little too happy with Build Knuckle near the end. Still God Tier.

>>156558623
Hate is a strong word. But it sure was disappointing after the ridiculous fun that was GBF.

>>156525351
About half of UC gundam is really great. If you watch it in chronological order, then the weaker shows will not be as bad. Turn A is the only good AU show. The rest of AU is 100% garbage.

The Build Knuckle spam is just a series of unfortunate coincidence.

X Maoh fight is storyboarded by Shinya Watada so it's guaranteed to be shit

Sengoku Astray is hard to animate and they're in the middle of the 2nd cour so they resort to bland stills

Qubeley fight's point is Ayla's drama

In the final they get pretty creative with the Universe Booster at least.

The final episode is a toy ads.

I distinctly remember Zeta is the one that's 80% filler, and 0079 is 50%. And 0079 has a way better final bit, Escape being the best final episode in the franchise.

>>156560554
>Characterization and foreshadowing are filler
Ok then.

>>156548772
>Who's best pilot/gundam combo of all time?

What do you mean best?

In terms of skill? Amuro and Nu-Gundam.

What you liked best? Setsuna was literally in love with Exia. I fucking loved beaten-up-Exia in the first episode of S2 and that he fought with Exia again in the last episode.

Unironically Seed.

>>156560663
>>156560641
>>Characterization and foreshadowing are filler

There is NOTHING happening that is relevant to plot in those filler episodes. Thats why the one year war trilogy is so good.

>>156560718
Were you dropped on your head as a child often?

>>156560771

Zaku of the week gets old really fast. If thats your thing good but that doesnt change the fact it not relevant to plot.

>>156560718
Establishing character traits that are important for understanding decisions those characters make later down the line is not "irrelevant to the plot".
If more people would just learn to pay more attention to "filler" we would get significantly less "Is X autistic" threads.

>>156525893
Gundam-size Kihel WHEN?

>>156560828
That's because you're paying attention to the wrong thing. The zeon mooks' attacks are mainly to facilitate development of the white base crew. In some cases, it's also to add some depth to zeon in that it's not just lol evil Zabi.

For this reason, 0080 is really the strongest. It's really the only one that pushes the "war bad" message.

It's not really as much of a "fuck you" as Eva, but it had a few minor critiques of typical Gundam fans, especially those moments with the kids talking about the battles excitedly.

Depends. 0080 has the best ending by a longshot, which is something that most Gundam series are never really good at pulling off. The only other significant exception is G Gundam. That, and it has easily the best fights out of the entire early UC, despite how few of them there are. 0079's otherwise the tightest all-round when it comes to space opera/war drama, followed or on par with Turn A.

>>156544603

>>156534574
The only thing that bothered me about Z was the blatant filler chapters that were there only to promote a new toy. They really got in the way of the storytelling.
Otherwise, once Amuro and Char entered the story it became great. And Camille grew a lot during the series as well.
In a perfect world Amuro would've sticked to the end of Zeta, something would've gone wrong between the two of them leading to Char's Counterattack, and ZZ would've been a shorter side story. Haman's dead would've happened in Zeta and would've been part of the reason for Char and Amuro conflict.

AGE if you want bottom of the barrel mediocricity. SEED Destiny if you want something with various infuriatingly frustrating aspects, but with a couple of redeeming factors here and there.

SEED if you want to cheer for the villains and have something that, at the end of the day, is still watchable if you don't take it seriously. AGE if you want dick to shrivel up and crawl up your own urethra.
