I loved 00, thought G was hilarious, liked Wing back when I was in High School, but dislike it now. I tried watching 0079 and didn't hate it, just got bored. Turn A was really weird and I disliked it. Where should I go next with Gundam?
It seems you have shit taste. I'm sorry, there's nothing more we can do.
Try these:
Gundam 0079 movies
Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket
Gundam X
Gundam Build Fighters
Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans

I saw a bit of 0083 when it was on late night on CN, enjoyed what little I saw. I hear the 79 movies kinda miss a lot of important stuff. I also saw a few episodes of X, same kinda situation, didn't hate it, but got bored. Build Fighters and IBO seem a little kawaii~ for my tastes.

Is SEED as emo and awful as everyone says it is? If so, I'll probably like it
>>13504774
The 0079 movies skip some minor stuff but is perfectly comprehensible on their own. I personally I prefer it to the series.
And yes, if you like shipping and melodrama SEED has it in spades.

Not really.

If you thought 079 was boring then you probably won't like the majority of Gundam.

Granted I only watched the first 5 eps. Does it pick up after that point?
>>13504869
Yes it REALLY picks up once they land on earth. I'd say wait until you finish episode 10 before you decide whether you like it or not.
In my opinion, 0083 is the best series in the franchise.

In terms of high-budget, ludicrous shading, and hand drawn 80/90's goodness, 0083 is as good as it comes for Gundam i guess. Story and Characters a shit. Mecha designs good.

Fuck all you idiots who keep recommending the movies over the TV series
OP, if you don't have the patience to watch one relatively lower key series then the UC timeline probably isn't for you
Even if you don't want to watch, watch!

lel baby mad he wasted ten hours of his life on FUCKING NOTHING!
>>13505365
Better stop watching children's cartoons and go be productive eh?

>Story and Characters a shit.
I don't know...compared to all other Gundam series, I thought that they were no worse than of the other shows. No Newtype BS or 14yo Gary Stu MCs. It also fits well in the UC canon without having retcon anything making it great as a standalone series.
It did get fuckered up towards the end though, but not too bad.
>>13505350
Nah. You can watch the movie and still get the gist of it. Subplots are just that: subplots. They help flush out a fictional universe and its characters, but ultimately, they don't matter.
