I heard 08th MS is a good place to start with Gundam anime. Thoughts?

I heard the lego yoda cartoon is a good place to start with Star Wars. Thoughts?

If you're afraid of late seventies-early eighties animation, sure, but production order is best.

>>13696651
It's bretty top notch. Better than Ep. 1

You need a cursory knowledge of the world going in
The animation is good
The first half is a decent enough military story
Second half is a terrible romance and half the characters just stop being much

>>13696948
This helps alot. Its a hard thing to try to start wehn you have so much shit to catch up on

>>13696988
you don't need to "catch up" on anything

just watch at whatever pace suits you best

>>13696630
If you wanna become "MUH REALISM" cancer, sure.

>>13696630
Good graphics, okay music, shitty story.
Start with 0079 and 0080 and forget about this shit.

It's a Russian imageboard slang. People refer to any picture or drawing quality/detaliztaion/level of artistic skill/etc. as "grafon" which is a derivative from "grafika".

Slavs proving they're even worse than Aussies, yet again.

>>13697131
Slavs are less than a half of Russian population let alone Russian imageboards. Please, don't be rude to my kind and our 190 minorities. Yes, this word is cancer. Also lalafag that shows himself ocasionally is also a Russian and a literal communist. You're welcome.

Okay, now we definitely know you're Russian, only slavs and fools have the masochism to want to play that game.

Just start with 0079. Refer to chart posted earlier.

Go production order.
If you can't handle the sick disco beats of the original series... 08th works. It's a great little series, but some things won't make sense without the background of 0079... also, you will miss all the slaps

>implying wing is good
>implying wing
>implying

Wing is a solid 00/10 (which is lower than a seed/10 but higher than g fighter/10)

>>13697436
>>13697433
A) It's a meme, ya dip.
B) It doesn't have to be

The majority of people here got into Gundam thanks to Wing, SEED, and then some oldfags who liked UC but still maintain that G Gundam is the best evar.

Wing is what it is, but it's one of the most common denominators for starting points

Inb4 somebody suggests starting with seed.

(DON'T! It's garbage and every character is a special snowflake)

Inb4 somebody suggests starting with 00.

(DO! It's great and every character is a beautiful flower)

/FUCK SEED

>every character is a bland emotionless sociopath

Fixed that 4 ya m8

>>13697501
Graham and Ali were okay. The rest yeah you're right.

>>13697388
Zeta had the best slaps.

>>13697513
So much slapping.
Fucking kamille, the autist, got slapped every episode for some stupid shit.
They thought they could slap the autism out of him

In all seriousness, 08th is a fine place to start

>>13698223
>08th before 0079
no, anon

>>13698236
If OP doesn't like sick electro beats, and 70s animation (which he'd be a fool not to) then 08th is the earliest, chronologically speaking that you can get in the UC after MSG and before 0080 (which is gold)

>>13698247
The battle music in 0079 was the grooviest thing in all of Gundam. Anyone who dislikes it has shit taste.

>>13698251
I have to agree with that.
Fights themselves were great too. Who doesn't want to see MS getting mangled?

I heard G Gundam is a good place to start with Gundam anime. Thoughts?

>>13698259
Starting gundam with g gundam would be like starting star wars with attack of the clones.

>>13698254
My only complaint with 0079 is that the gundam is fucking invincible.
It makes a lot of the fights really boring (except the acguy fight. That was the best. The gyan too..)

>>13698275
It gets a good run for its money against Ral, Hamon, multiple Goufs, the Adzam, the Gogg, first Z'gok attack, the Tri-Stars, etc.

>>13696630

No. Who the fuck starts any series with anything other than the original? Watch 0079 and finish uc in release order. You can sort of watch au out of order, but watching by release order gives you better context.

>>13698282
it may get a run for its money in those fights, but it is only actually damaged in one of them, and even then, it isn't much of a hindrance. A lot of it is explained away by superior engineering and the fact that amuro is a new type, but watching him hammer zakus got old. Not that I didn't love the series! It's my favorite anime. Just after watching it 3 times in the last month, I have become critical of some aspects

Op must watch original in order to see the mustachey goodness that is Ramba Ral!
The only character in the entire series to almost completely fuck up the white base and destroy the gundam

>>13698285
Good point anon.

>>13697524
But he ended up more autistic than ever

>>13698303
Seems a fair assessment.

His autism levels reached beyond what slapping could cure

>>13696630
You'll probably be more forgiving with its blatant flaws if you start with it.

Not enough Kiki rape for that.

I want to read the Zeta Gundam manga, I can't find a translation for it anywhere, does one exist?

>>13698259
Correct.

G Gundam is pretty much the best directed Gundam anyway.

lol No , watch UC Gundam in production order so we in /m/ wont have to suffer another thread how you thought 8th team was shit and you couldn't understand what was going in
