All I know of gundam is what I remember from watching sporadic episodes as a kid.
What order should I watch the series in to get as much lore/understanding as possible, while avoiding bad 80's animation as long as possible?
(please help me begin navigating the spiderweb of series)
G Saviour first

Don't watch Gundam then.
The only realway to watch it is production order, just like with everything else on this fucking planet.

Oh yeah, pic related

This. G-Saviour is probably the best point to get into the main UC timeline and compared to the older cartoons it holds up well.
After that move onto SEED, it's the best AU series by far, and it'll move you nicely into stuff like Build Fighters Try which can be a bit deep and complex if you haven't watched a whole lot of Gundam previously.

I have a counter.
I'm not asking what order I should watch episodes in, nor what seasons I should watch. Series are not the same as seasons.
Series changes often involve a completely differnt feeling/direction and sometimes modified chronological order or something can be better/best.
Which is why I'm asking what would be best given the qualifier that I want to avoid 80's animation as long as possible, while getting max understanding of lore.

>while avoiding bad 80's animation
You are such a faggot
>>13684844
Do you not understand the the 80s animation quality is much higher than all of the 90s series and most of the 2000s series?

You genuinely can't. Just give up and watch something else you fucking faggot.
>>13684856
I did not.
In my experience with anime 80's animation is not good, and quality goes up with time.
Is it the opposite with gundam?

You must not have any experience.
I bet you have a MAL. Post it, faggot.
>>13684865
Gundam's entire lore meat is built on 80s stuff.
Just watch it all.
>>13684865
Why are you watching mecha if you can't handle old animation/bad animation styles?
>>13684871
Only things I can think of off the top of my head are transformers, dragonball, and akira.
It just all looks so shit to me compared to stuff from the mid/late 90's and on.
>>13684884
Because big fighting robots are cool and there is stuff that isn't from the 80's.
>>13684908
Yes, but you miss out on a lot of interesting shows if you're a bitch who can't handle animation on a budget.
>>13684908
>It just all looks so shit to me compared to stuff from the mid/late 90's and on.
Damn dude that's some really shitty taste, and forming this opinion based on such a small amount of series is just awful.
And even if they really did look like shit, I can't imagine being shallow enough to actively avoid good series because of it.
I really hope you grow out of this, and someday look back and laugh.
>>13684908
Gundam actually started in 1979. It's nothing like those three shows, and will surprise you.
Are you a transformers fan by any chance?
>>13684908
>Because big fighting robots are cool and there is stuff that isn't from the 80's.
Don't watch big fighting robot anime then. Watch A/Z or Valvrave from this year and last, they're both solid replacements for Gundam and I'm sure their animation will be up to your standards.
>>13684920
It's like comparing a 4:3 aspect ratio to 21:9
Poor presentation can easily ruin things.
>>13684929
A bit, I mostly just like armada/unicron trilogy.
>>13684946
Just try it. There's a dub if you're into that sort of thing.
Just try it.
>>13684946
Enjoy being a literal infant who passes on interesting anime and stories because they don't meet whatever inane standard you have.
>>13684933
Aldnoah is an Eva replacement ya dingus
>>13684957
YOU FUCKING BASTARD I TRUSTED YOU.
THIS IS JUST LIKE SPEED RACER.
Does it stay like this the whole time where half the time it's 'animation' and the other half it's just moving backgrounds?
>>13685018
Suck it up, greenhorn.
>>13684876
you could also get the gist of whats going on by reading a wiki
I've never Gundam, should I into Thunderbolt?
