Honest Answer: There's some weird issues with women.

Other than that, its good.

I didn't like Zeta, because almost everyone was a horrible rear end in a top hat, but I can't say its bad either.

ZZ is the best of the original UC trio IMO.

The real best Gundam is G Gundam.

Just watch the og until you get bored of no budget and then watch Turn A which is objectively the correct and best Gundam

Burned through The Way of the Househusband over the weekend, I'm prepared to call it leftist anime since it depicts a break from traditional gender roles and also former criminals becoming contributing members of society. Also I'm not sure I've seen my wife laugh so hard at an anime. A shame it was only five episodes.

They should remake Gundam Wing. It's message of "drones are bad" is much more relevant today.

I loved Wing 20 years ago (oh God :negative:) when it was on Toonami, but every time I say "maybe I should re-watch Gundam Wing" on this forum people tell me it's bad.

I rewatched the movie trilogy a couple weeks ago and had a good time. :shrug:

The movie-fied original Gundam is how I first watched it, I think it's a great way to dip in, and if you really want, you can watch the full tv series after. Don't do the same for Zeta Gundam with it's movies though, they cut too much out and you're better off just watching the show first imo.

Wing is good over-the-top melodrama where everyone is insane.

Code Geass is bad over-the-top melodrama where everyone is insane.

They do both have great soundtracks.

that and the big montage where the main characters end a war without a single casualty are all I've seen of the show, and frankly the main reason not to watch the rest is fear that it could never live up to that level of crazy

There's a huge climactic moment towards like halfway or 2/3rds point where the main character and the Char-type rival from the opposing ideological faction are dueling each other in a big Gundam fight and then pause halfway through to switch Gundams because they're just not vibing with the ones they're currently in and think it would just fit better the other way around.

In the first episode, the first time you see the main character he immediately tries to kill himself. When he fails he then beats up some EMTs and steals their ambulance.

Best moment in the franchise is when Trowa is in a mass produced MS fighting Heero, and all he does is stand in one place shooting his gun directly ahead, and Heero says, "I know that combat style! It's Trowa!"
