watch logh instead
Wing
0079
0079 is an excellent show to this day
the start
This. Watched the first time over Christmas, can confirm it holds up well.
Ep 1 from the image you posted
Watch Gundam Origin Movies before 079 tho
G-reco
I did watch most of the gundam shows during lockdown, I'm not a kid and I had watched some, but maybe 30 yrs ago so I started fresh
Here's my two cents
0079 it's the best and it's all down hill from there, but 0079 it's really fucking good, it is dated, it has a monster of the week format and yabba dabba, but it's damn good, all the UC and related material/spin off are a must watch, from there pick your poison or give up, it was over a long time ago, I watched most of them because I'm not a casual but no one but you can decide that for you.
The funniest part is that it took almost half a century to make sense of zeon reason to commit genocide, still no clue for the multiverse hatred for Ireland in particular, anudda 50 yrs to consolidate the Bright family line as both topshitters and enemy of mankind.
Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory is top tier, ageless NTR if you are into that shit, the final ep it's a never ending humiliation for the MC, a must watch.
That's all.
Watch the JAV
Personally I found 0079 too dated to enjoy fully. So I read through the Gundam: The Origin manga which covers all the same material in a somewhat more sophisticated, modern take and then started watching Zeta Gundam.
the UC trilogy
Origin->Comp Movies -> 08th MS Team -> 0083->Zeta Movie->CCA->Unicorn->Thunderbolt->Hathaway
0079, don't read/watch Origin first it changes a lot of stuff from the original UC timeline.
this
0083 Stardust Memories.
The original, chronologically
forgot pic
Sure, if you want to start off hating Gundam.
is this real conversation?
good call on stardust memory lol
I remember liking 8th MS team. maybe it was trash but it had pretty animation, and was only 12 episodes. its set in pre-0079 events.
>chronologically
This is retarded.
Worst UC sidestory.
You're retarded.
8th MS team is great and is set concurrently with 0079.
It was trash, it was a watered down version of 0083 which was already shit.
08th MS team has nothing in common with Stardust Memories. Hell nothing really has anything in common with Stardust Memories, the OVA is like a schizo fever dream
Sure retard. Don't you have some G Gundam rerun to watch?
