As a big fan of the Gainax and Khara teams, I’m looking forward to checking out the new Gundam Gquuuuuux. And so, in preparation I’ve decided to watch some other Gundam stuff, starting with Mobile Suit Gundam (0079) which I’ve just finished.

So my question for the fediverse today is: having just watched the original MSG '79, what do you recommend I check out next?

Should I just go chronologically? Jump between the “best” ones? Get a sample of series from the different timelines/continuities? What do you all think?

    Build Fighters especially is a joy to watch

    This is so frustrating to me because Build Fighters is my favorite Gundam series but I can’t recommend it to anyone without asking them to watch over a hundred episodes of other stuff first!

      It’s definitely watchable without prior knowledge. Some friends of mine got into it blind. But you get soooo much more out of it if you have that solid Gundam base. It really is a love letter.

        I’d agree that it’s watchable without prior knowledge, but scenes like the hypnosis one are soooo much funnier if you know what they’re referencing!
