I think I remember watching an episode in the original where Kagome is surprised that a girl about her age would be thinking about marriage and bearing children and chalked it up to things being different in the sengoku period. I'm sure the cousin thing will come up as an age base joke too. Whats more worrying is Sessh probably having kids with a girl he met when she was like 7 if Rin does end up being the girls mother.

I want to watch some (good) mecha anime and since the genre is pretty much dead I was wondering about Gundam... All I know there's like tens of different series but I've only ever watched part of Turn A Gundam. I'm interested in getting into it but all of chronological lists make my eyes glaze over. Is there some simple, at most one sentence long, version of the recommended watch order?

start at 0079, either tv or compilation movies, and then as many things where the opening narration says UC as you can stomach, particularly chars counterattack, war in the pocket, 08th ms team, origin, and thunderbolt. there that's my one sentence, but here's another sentence: dont worry about gundam chronology because everything in UC with the exception of zeta either takes place during the one year war in which case it doesn't matter what order you watch it in or is so far removed from it that it's historical background at best and mostly self contained. most of the latter kind are also the bad UC shows though, like unicorn and narrative (+ watch turn A and G-reco)

Uc timeline: 0079 -> zeta -> zz -> chars counterattack -> unicorn -> victory. 08th ms team, war in the pocket, stardust memory, narrative, thunderbolt, and igloo are in there somewhere. Idk im not a historian Ce timeline: seed -> seed destiny. Youll notice that theres approximately five billion gundam series not listed here. thats because theyre all standalone. You can just watch them. G gundam has nothing to do with anything else, gundam wing has nothing to do with anything else, 00 has nothing to do with anything else, ibo has nothing to do with anything else. You can just watch them.

Also yeah the only uc material the ~timeline~ really matters for is the amuro/char arc that goes through 0079, zeta, and chars counterattack. And obvs as a sequel to zeta, zz goes after it. Outside of those four series pretty much everything uc is pretty standalone. Like war in the pocket is a uc series but its extremely standalone, no major characters from the main stuff appear and its just about a smallscale conflict in a single city. 08th ms team is just about one squad of grunts loving around in the woods. Victory is so far removed from the one year war that it barely matters. Unicorn makes some references but so long as you know that char is a person who exists youre fine. If it doesnt say 0079, zeta, or char's counterattack, you can watch it iust fine.

e: Beaten like a goddamn 14-inch snare drum! Curse you, Endorph!  Gundam: The only way to win is not to watch.  Seriously, though, if you're concerned about chronology when it comes to Gundam, the only things that I feel sorta need it is Amuro and Char's saga. Almost everything else does not. Like yeah, knowing "One Year War" this, "Zeon Fuckheads" that and such might be useful, but I honestly think that the rest of the UC series you can do without/watch without worrying about where it all might fit. Also, hilariously dumb-as-poo poo, trying-to-hard-to-be-cool names.

All I know there's like tens of different series but I've only ever watched part of Turn A Gundam. I'm interested in getting into it but all of chronological lists make my eyes glaze over. Is there some simple, at most one sentence long, version of the recommended watch order? For the most part, Gundam is a bunch of unrelated shows that share some aesthetic and thematic elements. Looking at it chronologically is generally the wrong approach. The exception to this is Universal Century stuff, where the three main series and film are sequels to each other and don't make a ton of sense if you haven't seen the preceding stuff. UC also has a lot of spinoffs, which as snail said are mostly set during the One Year War and so don't require prior knowledge of anything. Basically, the question you need to ask yourself isn't "where do I start with Gundam," it's "what Gundam do I want to start with?" If you want to watch Universal Century stuff, just follow the advice already posted and watch the original Mobile Suit Gundam (the show gives stuff more room to breathe but it's 43 episodes of janky 70s animation; the pacing of the compilation films can feel a little rushed at time but they're good and remove a few of the studio-mandated toyetic elements) then the rest in broadcast order, including the OVAs (0083 has some writing/direction issues and a twist ending a lot of people hate, but it's really pretty). If you like serious war stories and hate wacky kid character hijinks, you can safely skip ZZ Gundam and just go straight from Zeta to Char's Counterattack. If you don't care about Universal Century stuff, ignore everything above and just pick any Gundam series you want based on what appeals the most to you. A few good choices would be Gundam Wing (first Gundam show to get a dubbed Toonami release in the US, so it's a lot of US people's first Gundam experience), Turn-A Gundam (the best Gundam TV series), Iron-Blooded Orphans (the most recent "main" show and another very good one) or Gundam Build Fighters (a sports show about people fighting with Gundam plastic models).

If you really want a list of the gods then I'd say watch the 0079 movies, zeta (ive never seen the movies so im unsure how they function as a replacement for the tv series) then char's counteratrack and you're equipped to engage with any gundam material ever made, even the most hardcore gundam nerds only spinoff manga about some obscure side character from a 1993 arcade game.

The Zeta movies suck both because they cut out too much and because they've got sequences that are just completely redone in a mid-00s style while still having a good chunk of the original animation left in, so they're incredibly jarring to watch.

if you end up liking turn-a gundam or greco watch overman king gainer because it's a totally separate mecha anime directed by tomino that has the exact same feel as greco and a really really similar feel to turn-a

Take careful considerations from the posts above, but just watch Iron Blooded Orphans if you want something modern and self-supporting and not tone-tied just by having the Gundam name on it. Because seriously, IBO is one of the best mainline mecha shows of the last ten years that just happens to also be Gundam. Ranzear fucked around with this message at 17:48 on May 10, 2020 |
