It is if you don't mind the good guys being part of some creepy cult that puts bombs around peoples necks and plot resolution being "spray pixie dust on people"

season 1 was better than season 2

Setsuna F. Seiei carrying that autism and realizing the dream was amusing, but s2 got pretty bleh.
>>
>>140361558
Since 00 was the last good Gundam, sure
>>
>>140361558
I'd say so. Season 1 will spoil you because if you decide to go and watch the other continuities, you'll see most of them are rehashes of the original series and you get sick of it.

Also 00 is probably the best animated tv gundam ever and it's all downhill from there

Nope.

ORE WA GUNDAM DA!

iron blooded orphans is unironically the best gundam
>>
>>140361558
Season 2 was kind of Gundam fanservice if you watched previous gundam especially the UC trilogy.
>>
>>140361558
It's a good Gundam while still being accessible to normies.
>>
>>140364701
00 is pretty damn well done though, and its certainly better than anything to come since then.
>>
>>140365271
>00 is pretty damn well done though
In what way?

>and its certainly better than anything to come since then
It's better than IBO at least.
>>
>>140365055
why would you waste those dubs on such a shitty opinion
>>
>>140365292
I was referring strictly to the animation, the story is actually pretty solid before season 2 though.
>>
>>140361558
I dunno, but Sumeragi doe, goddamn.
>>
>>140361558
If you think Dancougar is a good super robot entry, then yes
>>
Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 is the best entry

EVERY TIME YOU HURT YOURSELF WITH KNIVE
>>
>>140361558
Sumeragi is a good entry alright
>>
I'd insert it inside Sumeragi
>>
Stick to Wing or Char's Counterattack
>>
>>140361558
One of the best.
My favorite gundam actually
>>
>>140361558
It's okay. I like IBO better though.
Why kill Lockon instead of Halleluiah or someone else though, I'll never understand. He was the one appealing character of the show.
>>
>>140361558

Yes.
>>
>>140361960
Even Zeta is better animated.
>>
It's good but not really representative of Gundam.
>>
>>140367731
The second season is a pretty good representation of Gundam because it's ripping-off Zeta just like ever Gundam show after Zeta.
>>
>>140361558
I'd enter Feldt if you know what I mean

Setsuna is never going to enter her so go ahead.

>I was referring strictly to the animation
AGE is packed with a ridiculous amount of good mecha animation.
Unicorn is BUDGET.
Reconguista has some crazy parts.
IBO is appalling.
>>
>>140361558
I am gundam.
>>
00 was my first Gundam series.
Well, the SD Gundam that aired on Toonami was my first, but I don't remember it that well for some reason.
>>
>>140365357

Just to add to what >>140368052 mentioned, 00 is a very solid and well drawn show because it was the first Gundam tv series created in HD digitally and they made sure it looked good, but as far as *animation* goes, it's pretty middle of the road, I think I'd describe it as a workman-like effort? Does the job as much as needed without ever really being special.

I still think it's a pretty great show, regardless.
>>
>>140361558
Yes. I can recommend it because that's how I got into Gundam. Go for it.

Basically you're supposed to watch UC from the beginning. Although I would just summarize the original by watching the movies instead because it's extremely episodic and repetitive.

I realize it wouldn't have anywhere near those visuals if it was, but still a damn shame.

Setsuna is a qt. Would definitely suck his paki(?) cock.

I just finished 0079 and wanna know where to go from here.
A friend recommended 8th MS or some of the other OVAs.

Just watch them chronologically. Zeta and ZZ are both perfectly watchable, even if latter might make you want to skip 3/4 of its run time.
>>
>>140368823
Yes, but apparently the canon is non-linearly released so apparently to stay in the bounds of 0079's established setting I'd be watching releases from the 90s before progressing in-universe.
>>
>>140368770
I'd recommend watching the UC Gundams in release order
Zeta, then Double Zeta, then Char's Counter Attack, then the OVAs

Then again I do really love 0080 War in the Pocket and the 08th MS Team and they're set during the events of the original Gundam
>>
>>140368862

As always never watch by timeline, watch by production order.

And it's simple if you've watched the original Gundam 0079 - next is Zeta Gundam, then Char's Counterattack. You've then finished the original UC timeline. Everything else in it is fluff.

skip the animu, read the doujinshi
>>
>>140368862
Everything that was released more recently set in UC benefits heavily from you having seen those shows first so you know the context. For example, you CAN watch Thunderbolt which spans from 0079 to 0080, without any previous knowledge but it doesn't establish the UC setting itself that much so you have no idea who these Zeon guys are and shit.

I would recommend you do what >>140368886 said as basis for UC.

My first Gundam was G. It's not like any of these series are interconnected outside of the UC. You can literally start anywhere you want. I don't think Sunrise makes these exclusively for people who've seen every series prior

Is thunderbolt watchable for gundam newfags?
>>
>>140373473
It's watchable but if its your first Gundam series, I wouldn't recommend it since its only a 4 episode 18 minute ONA made promote the manga. Not to mention not all the episodes are out.
>>
00 was shit and I don't get people's need to praise it in such a high regard.

It went full retard and also aliens don't belong in Gundam. Leave that shit to Macross.
>>
>>140373473
You can probably watch all of UC before it's finished. I know I did.
>>
>>140361558
The first season isnt really like any Gundam show then the 2nd just throws in a lot of stale Gundam tropes without much consideration to the rest of the story. You'll probably enjoy it if you aren't used to seeing the same shitty plot threads from 30 years ago being reused for no reason.
>>
>>140372525
No, this is best girl of her series right after Sheryl.
>>
If you're going watch Gundam you might as well start with the best, so watch Gundam Unicorn.
>>
>>140365292
The good thing about IBO is that moon, i felt really fine knowing that eventually the moonrace cunts from turn A got their shit fucked up.
Also atra was cute.
>>
no mention of Gundam SEED wow, anyways yea start with that one
