Where do I start with Gundam

>>14730997
Gundam Seed if you want to watch a modern version of the original Gundam.

Gundam 00 if you want to watch the best most recent Gundam.

Gundam 0079 movies if you want to understand the basic Gundam story and themes.

G no Reconguista if you want to dive into the deep end first.

the original is still probably my favorite. The english dub is actually pretty good too.

Watch in production order you fuck.
Anybody who tells you otherwise doesn't know shit and should be flogged for their dumbass opinions.

>>14730997
UC is the main timeline and most extensive. Going in production order is the simplest way to dive in. Chronological order makes logical sense, but they are all built on the fact that you've probably watched the older entries so you may have some spoilers and it is sort of impossible since Origin is the earliest in the UC timeline and we're still waiting on that series to finish.

If you want to fast-track your way through UC, the best way to do it is 0079 movies, Zeta (TV ver), CCA, 0096. You can watch the late UC stuff (F91 and Victory) at your own leisure since they're practically alternate universes in of themselves.

It is possible to start with the AU shows, too. Wing, X, 00, AGE, SEED, IBO, G, RiG all lie outside of the main UC timeline and can be watched independently of each other in any order you want. There's also Turn-A which is a unification of certain timelines, but you may want to save that for later...or not. It's not that important.

Don't Skip ZZ as it finishes some of Zeta's storylines.

>If you want to fast-track your way through UC
for what, Gundam certification?
it's a fucking robot cartoon
watch it because you want to watch robots

>>14730997
0079, anybody who says anything else is wrong.

>>14730997
>is there a better starting point?
Oh, I dunno; the start, maybe?

No, just to give an understanding of what the conflicts of early UC were about and how they relate to each other without spending an extra 40 hours that you may not enjoy or just dropping the series entirely out of boredom. Besides nothing is stopping you from going back and watch the other stuff whenever.

Just read the wikipedia article then.

What about 08th ms team??

>>14733389
At that point you're just watching for the mecha porn in which case the order would be 0080, 08th MST, Thunderbolt, 0083, and 0096.

I started with 0079 and loved it, I watched it dubbed as well which was quite enjoyable too. After that just watch what interests you, though Zeta is a straight up sequel to 0079.

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD FULL SERIES?

nyaa

>>14733776
Its not as pretty as 0083, and it's story is shittier than 0800. It's an awkward middle child of the 90's UC OVAs.

I started recently with the AUs that interested me first and then UC.

I have yet to watch Thunderbolt and Unicorn, OVAs or Movie/Tv?

I suggest G Savior as its the only one that you can really feel attachment to the pilots with.

>>14730997
Universal Century is best, which includes MSG(The "OG" you refer to), Zeta, ZZ, Unicorn, and side series like War in the Pocket, Origins, 08th MS team(My personal favorite), and 0083.

Wing is the most mainstream in the west, lacks the sprawl of UC and is a little easier to digest.

>>14731321
But that means you watch Zeta before War in the Pocket or 08th MS...(0083 references Zeta, so it's less affected)

The original 0079 and Zeta are basically the "required reading" of Gundam. Both have decent movie adaptations and most of the OVA series people consider "The Best Gundam" happen in their timeframe.

>>14738184
but Victory is the best Gundam

Is there a link to all of the Origin manga online anywhere? I can't wait on ComicWalker anymore.

G-Savior, G-Reco, G-Tekketsu and G-Seed are your best choices. Avoid Showa-era Gundam, it's about as bad as Showa-era Kamen Rider.

is wing worth my time ( already watched most of UC) ?
would you suggest something better from the alternate universe?

>>14731059
It is funny but I think CCA is actually watchable for someone who has no idea about what happened in the previous series and about Gundam in general
He won't be confused with things like what the fuck happened between it and Zeta, how the fuck Char became what he is now, etc.
It will just seem like a plain story about an insane space villain who wants to destroy all the earthnoids and a hero on a cool white robot who is going to stop him.

>>14738184 Both have decent movie adaptations
>A New Translation
>decent

Ehhhh...it gets you from point A to point B, but I can't say it's exactly a good alternative.

Plus, when you get down to it, those compilations were more made as a thing for the people who were already familiar with the series than as a means for newcomers to get into them.
Hence the marketing emphasizing new scenes, playing up the core characters just as known people without bothering to introduce them, and hyping up 'NEW ENDING.'

Granted, the 'for the fans' compilation is far from a new or unique thing by any means, but it does make it weird when people suggest a movie that was designed in large part for an audience that already knew the story.
