    I just got into Gundam a few months ago. there is a trilogy of movies on Netflix (US) that recap the orginal series I watched those first. Then started Zeta Gundam which is a direct sequel. I’m really enjoying the franchise so far. There are tons of spin offs as well. This new franchise does not take place in the “main” timeline but I do think the orginal three movies/series will increase enjoyment.

        Yeah for me who just likes big robots and am not a huge anime fan a few hours was a lot easier to digest than a whole Classic show. Like I mentioned I moved right on to Zeta which was about 50 episodes and finished it! I absolutely loved it. Definitely a fan now.

          The OG movie trilogy is a good compromise to start with. Definitely better theming/pacing than the show, which suffered from a lot of filler and being cut short. And glad to hear you went onto the full run of Zeta, whose movies I do not endorse in any way shape or form lol.

          Definitely a fan now.

          Welcome! 😁

              Yep, 20th anniversary, re-cut with bits of new animation and a completely different ending. The back and forth between original and new animation is jarring. I haven’t watched them since they came out but I don’t feel like they added anything noteworthy.

                I still might give them a watch. I really enjoyed Zeta. I started 08th ms team but it’s just “ok” so far. Then I plan to start ZZ soon.
