Thanks, glad to hear it.

I think that there’s two ways to get into Gundam: 1. The best/most effective way 2. The easy/accessible way Either way is completely valid depending on your experience with the mecha genre or your willingness to overlook dated visuals. For the the best way, it’s pretty obviously Mobile Suit Gundam 0079. That series is one of the classic anime of the 20th century that is super important for anime in general, and you hit two birds with one stone. And it’s still an entertaining show to this day, and it just makes everything else click into place as it explains the world really well, and there’s obvious next steps for the franchise. For the easy way, it’s one of the AU series which helps you get your foothold in the mecha genre before knowing of the Gundam franchise is for you. For this option there is a couple of series, the big ones being 00 and Iron Blooded orphans, but Wing and Seed have their fans, but come less recommended. I actually have not seen F91, because I’m relatively new to the franchise, but it does seem like an odd choice considering it seems to have similar problems to the 0079 compilation movies from what I can tell. I think that the compilation movies are adequate if you here about how good Zeta is and want to jump into that, but I generally prefer the series to the movies and find it more enjoyable.

Gundam is a franchise I do plan to check out when I have the chance, but since I normally don't like my entertainment TOO violent and there is FAR more Gundam content than I can possibly analyze all at once, and that there's so many other franchises I already like and will get into in the future, I think I will just watch a few Gundam shows and movies, and this is one of them! I also plan to watch the original 1979 TV series, the Gundam Wing series that aired on Toonami (in my country at least) and... I will see what else there is and decide what I shall and shall not watch. I hear Gundam Seed Destiny is bad, so I likely won't watch that one, yet I hear its GBA game is good! If an existing franchise has more content than (at least seemingly) you can watch in your lifetime, it can be hard to decide how to get into it. Had I watched the 4kids dub of One Piece back in the day, as bad as that is, I probably would've saved the time it'd take me to watch the story all over again when the Funimation dub arrived, just starting where the 4kids dub left off!

I knew there was a reason I'm irrationally afraid of novelty-sized bullet casings! Outstanding video, made bitterly tragic by the fact this film isn't available to purchase in the UK :(

bruh i have a one gunpla since i was a child bc my father kinda liked these things now im 15 and i just saw a gunpla that piqued my interest now i want to get into gundam

Even if G Gundam was my first series, my first completed Gundam experience is F91 (also, I like Cecile's drip)

This dude would totally fit perfectly in marvel vs capcom

I love F91, it's really the only self-contained movie in the series except the compilation movies of 0083 and 08th MS Team. However, I think part of my enjoyment came from having watched all the previous entries in the series. F91 feels like the original series, Zeta, ZZ, and maybe Char's Counterattack mixed together, and watching those series first helps you "fill in the gaps" as it were, since F91 can be a bit confusing. In other words, watching those previous series will introduce you to tropes and ideas that F91 reuses and helps to understand the movie better. Heck, Seabook is like Amuro, Kamille, and Judeau rolled into one. It's a rewarding experience. Oh, F91 isn't a 13 episodes series squished into a 2 hour movie, it's a ~50 episode series squished into a 2 hour movie... Hathaway is cool, but I'm honestly more excited for what comes after with the UC next 100 project. I think After War Gundam X is also a good recommendation, at least for anyone that likes 90s adventure anime.

The series I’m most familiar with is the Gundam series with the Shuffle Alliance. While I only saw a couple of episodes, I remember seeing it airing on Toonami when I was growing up

I luckily perchance saw a mecha gaikotsu video on gunpla and I though they looked so cool, I bought MG Exia (still my favorite kit btw) then watched 00 to completion. That's how I got into Gundam

This is useful to me so i can further this addiction.

Gundam has single shows that are full stories in themselves that you can just watch in whatever order. Like you can watch Gundam Seed by itself, you don't need to have seen anything before that to enjoy it.

I'm trying to get into Gundam and while this video has been really helpful in figuring out where to start, it's still difficult due to how limited and overpriced the dvds and blu rays of gundam are here in the UK. As far as I know, there are no official versions of F91, 0080, or 08th MS available in the UK, so I've had to resort to buying bootleg versions as my only way of watching them which isn't the most convenient.

Unfortunately, if you don't like older animation, you're gonna have a tough time, because the series that chronologically lead up to Hathaway are all the oldest ones. Personally, I'd say you need to watch: Mobile Suit Gundam (1979), Zeta Gundam, ZZ Gundam, and Char's Counterattack. Some people will tell you you can skip ZZ, and while that's technically true, I also think it's by far the best one, so I'd say it's a shame to skip. Also Unicorn comes before Hathaway in the timeline, but since the novel Hathaway is adapted from came out before Unicorn, technically you could skip that as well. Honestly, I'd urge you to at least give the older stuff a shot, there's an absolute mountain of good anime out there you're missing out on if you only watch stuff that looks modern.

I would say give it a try, because I think that although the animation is weak, the cinematography makes up for a lot of it, especially in the second half, which makes it look better than most of the American cartoons of the 80s even though they both lack in animation. If you don’t like it, then it’s completely understandable, but I don’t think that you should ignore it before you try it.

No you're definitely right, Gundam Wing airing on Toonami was probably the biggest spike in Gundam fandom outside of Japan there's ever been (I mean that's how I first saw Gundam). But as a show, I don't think it's as good as the original, and while you can still enjoy it on it's own, Gundam Wing is in it's own way, sort of a riff on all the Gundam that came before it. So I still stand by watching the original series is better, or F91 if you're short on time and just want a free taste test.
