everyone watch zeta gundam please its good

Mobile Suit Gundam (Gundam '79), Mobile Suit Z (Zeta) Gundam, and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Double Zeta) are all great and worth watching if you have time for some long anime series about hobbits piloting giant robots and war being bad.

Also good:

-Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket

-Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team

-Mobile Suit Gundam Wing

-Mobile Fighter G Gundam (fair warning that this is more goofy super-robot than the other Gundams on this list and it's probably the source of all the meme Gundams you see people post pics of)

-Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

-Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury

also IBO is my new favorite "watch this if you've never watched a gundam before" rec because it's its own universe, it's modern, looks really good, sticks to its themes, and is mostly written well but with hints of Gundam Cruft in it so if someone watches it and gets hung up on Naze Turbine I know not to tell them to watch Zeta

In Gundam, the robots are something of a metaphor.

Our first windows pc, the only two games I started with were monster truck rally and mech warrior. I feel like that shaped a lot of my life.

dunno, just never really got into the idea of driving a big ol' me-shaped vehicle. i can only speak for myself, obvs.

my intro to anime was more through lupin, cowboy bebop, ghost in the shell, and akira. so i guess that's the sort of vibe that resonates more with me than the mecha stuff.

Like pog boyfriend said, the Gundam 79 movie trilogy is a decent start. It's the original series edited down to three movies. You're missing a lot of the side stories and it's skipping a lot of the middle of the series, but if you don't have the time, it's fine enough as an intro. Or go for the full series. Zeta Gundam is a direct sequel but it's also fairly standalone. It gets really grim at the end though. Double Zeta after that takes a lighter tone but not farcically, just a mostly-serious show with some amusing moments.

If you want something shorter, War in the Pocket is a good OVA with great animation, but also sad and can get reasonably graphic.

The 080th MS Team is also a good short, standalone OVA. It has some 90s legally-mandated tits out every episode, but otherwise I really like it. It was made at almost the exact same time Sunrise was also creating Cowboy Bebop and so many of the character designs and other aesthetics feel like they could be transposed over to Bebop so it has a kind of comforting nostalgia for me there.

G Gundam is its own goofier thing, like I said. Gundam Wing is also its own universe and very... of its time but still pretty Gundam-y as far as political drama stuff goes. Iron Blooded Orphans and Witch From Mercury are also their own continuities and are the newest series, so they've got a modern polish and budget to them and still have a good Gundam vibe re: War Is Bad, and space politicking.
