Even if we're narrowing it to just UC, there's still Stardust Memories.

Reading that post, I can only assume they're confusing 0080 with 0083 because there's no way it's possible to be that vehemently wrong.

0080 is by far the best thing in the franchise, and still probably would be even if it had a happy ending. No other Gundam series has been quite as cinematic as 0080.

It's happened before but that was ridiculously hyperbolic (and arsehole-ish) even for 0083.

I wish the show was about Cima instead. Anybody been reading the manga readaption they've been running, the art in it is real good from what I remember.

0083 is the only Gundam show I deleted after watching. I kinda regret not having 24/7 access to Men of Destiny, though. e: Kou bring a grown adult who's picky about vegetables is the one character trait I remember and loathe him for it. dogsicle fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Mar 23, 2015 |

I don't see how anyone can see 0080 and call it bad. Not to your taste, I can understand, but bad? The animations is strong, the script is well-made, the pacing is good, the story is coherent and works well with it's themes (something few Gundams achieve). Just about the only complaint I can think of is that the soundtrack is a bit underwhelming. Not bad, but kind of generic? Great opening and ending themes though. Man, jsut watch that first sequence again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZULhqmhv3o

I've got a friend who hates 0080 because he can't stand little kid characters. He's got a phenomenally high tolerance for incredibly, colony-droppingly stupid characters, though. So he liked 0083.

I know a few people who have seen very little Gundam and have been enjoying G-Reco, so that is my anecdotal take on it. I guess it'd be as good an entry point as Turn A in that it draws upon prior Gundam stuff but they explain or imply most of the stuff you need to know? The style of pacing seems to be the bigger barrier of entry towards enjoying the show more than anything else, it's very much a love it or hate it sorta thing.

0080 was the show I used to introduce my friends into Gundam, if only for the fact that the ending is such a drat gutpunch I figured it'd stand out in their minds "It's okay Al! The war may be over, but there'll be a new one soon! And it'll be bigger! and more flashy, and more awesome and we won't just get shells, but actual intact bullets! And... Al, why are you crying more? Al it's okay! It's gonna be great! More war! Al? Al...?"

John McClane posted:Is this show actually a decent entry point into Gundam? It depends. Do you want a show that you can just watch for the pretty robots shooting each other? Are you going to be annoyed by the seemingly nonsensical plot and characters who seem to lack any clear motivation for doing things because the show outright skips most character development or exposition? If you're okay with that, it's probably a solid entry point; it's free of the baggage UC series have while also briefly touching on some of the more iconic Gundam elements, the animation is very pretty, and the mecha design is good. If you're looking for something like a crash course in Gundam-as-a-franchise or something that would be "iconically Gundam" then no.

If you'd like a good starting point into the Universal Century stuff, go hunt down the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga. They're really nice hardcover manga books that retell the original series with a few minor tweaks and changes. Just stuff like some of the other Earth Federation robots pre-dating the titular Gundam, and from what I understand some of the story points have been moved or tweaked a little due to the benefit of having the entire series on-hand to draw from rather than writing stuff week-to-week per episode.

I'm really not a fan of The Origin because it has an annoying tendency to make the Zabis over-the-top-cartoon-villain evil rather than the somewhat more nuanced portrayal they had in MSG79 (except for Gihren "I want to be Hitler" Zabi, obviously). It ends up being quite a bit of a departure from MSG79 (and also makes Jimba Ral into a paranoid lunatic instead of a nice man, which is the real problem with it  ).I stopped at volume 6 or 7 though, so maybe a bunch of that's changed.
