These two are basically short stories set in the Gundam universe, and both are really effective at showing different aspects that sets the UC timeline apart from other mecha anime.

Based on my research, I've seen the following different recommendations for starting points:ġ.) Original 0079 series (or movie trilogy) -> Zeta -> rest of the timelineĪny specific recommendations on where a complete newbie should start? What makes that a good starting point compared to others in your opinion?Īll ya'lls lists are wrong and mine is right. Therefore, I'm curious if as somebody not only new to Gundam but new to anime in general, if there is a better starting point. I didn't realize until a bit ago that most of the later series are a different timeline that doesn't require watching the earlier series. Following that I guess the next step would be the Mobile Suit Zeta series and then just taking it chronologically after that. I figured I should start from the beginning so I looked up the original series and realized there was a recommended movie compilation trilogy. One series I've seen recommended quite often are various Mobile Suit Gundam series. Seeing all the excitement of Ghost in the Shell in recent months, along with browsing some interesting looking shows on Netflix/Hulu have made me interested in checking out some anime. I've watched a few episodes here and there, but otherwise I haven't ever been into anime.
