I recommend starting older then working your way up. MSG, Zeta, I don't recommend ZZ even though I liked it, I don't think other people would enjoy it, but hey if you wanna give it a shot go for it.

Move onto things like 0080 and 0083, these are really good and makes you wonder if the bad guys really are bad or not. Gundam has a neat way of making people on the other side seem more human than other anime series do, and it seems the most evil people are politicians or businessmen.

So in short.

Gundam 0079

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam

0080 War in the Pocket

0083 Stardust Memory (Oh god please watch this, it's so entertaining despite being so short.)

Gundam F91 (I have not seen this one yet, so I'm not sure)

Crossbone Gundam (I have only seen a little bit of it.)

Char's Counterattack (Even though people say it's great, lower your expectations or characters like Quess Parya and Hathaway will ruin it for you.)

I personally would recommend viewing the UC stuff in chronological order. There's numerous references to events in later series as well a progression to why the plot moves the way it does. Additionally, technology (for the most part) progresses upon itself in a way that will seem odd if you miss something.

Sooo...

Mobile Suit Gundam
08th MS Team
0080
0083
Zeta Gundam
ZZ Gundam
Char's Counterattack
Gundam Unicorn
Gundam F91
Gundam Victory

That said, the major plot points would be:

Mobile Suit Gundam
Zeta Gundam
ZZ Gundam
Char's Counterattack
Gundam Unicorn

Everything post Unicorn is set enough years in the future that it could be considered a side story, though it's technically not. Crossbone Gundam, as mentioned before, follows F91... but to my knowledge it only exists in Manga form. Shame too because it's amazing. 08th MS Team and it's ilk are filler stories that mostly show different view points and fill in gaps in technological progression.

My life is a chip in your pile. Ante up!

Just a reminder for all of you:

Hulu is going to be simulcasting MS Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans starting today! The first episode is already up for viewing! For those without Hulu, it'll be available on Daisuke and Crunchyroll starting next week! Iron-Blooded Orphans is a standalone series not taking place in any established timeline so it doesn't require any previous knowledge of the Gundam series, use it to get your friends into Gundam!


As a bonus, Hulu will also have the entire Reconguista in G series up for viewing starting today as well courtesy of Daisuke. While not a popular series, it's at least there to watch!

Hnghh, IDK, a fan but not a die-hard fan, I loved that. The gritty setting, aesthetic, music, and character design.

Can't wait to see more. This'll also be my first anime show I get to watch as it is broadcast, so this should be an interesting experience.

So, no one else watching Iron-Blooded Orphans?

Also, as I near completion of MGS79, I am a new Bright Noa fanboy. He's essentially like Kale. Yeee

I always loved Bright Noa, right now I'm working on getting my hands on an Adele from AGE since that was the coolest looking suit from that series. Why do they have to have the grunt suit with the head I like the most!?

The new show is legit so far. I really like the retro blues ED too.
The duel sequence was great at showing what kind of protagonist Mika is.

Hi. I am a crazy gundam fan :3

As a diehard UC fan, I personally am fan of Gundam Build Fighter series, and 00 series. I like some parts of Seed too. I'd have to say Iron Blood is by far the best intro episode I've seen so far. I hope they'll keep showing impressive plot progressions for 3rd ep and after.

I build plenty of Gunpla and I enjoy playing strategical Gundam related games. I can always discuss Gundam related stuff if needed~.

Bolded ones are my most favorite and recommended. 

(I saw lot in previous post who hate Build Fighters. Haters gonna hate :p)

Build Fighters is a genuine expression of love for the franchise from the creators. It's silly, but I could discern real enthusiasm behind the show that I felt was lacking in some more recent entries.

If you expected seriousness from Build Fighters, then you'll get disappointments Sad

Just watched episode 36 of MGS79...


Show Content
SpoilerDozle Zabi! Fucking clambers out onto the exterior hull of his exploding mobile armor to just shoot at the Gundam with a cruddy assault rifle. That's badass! I love Gundam for those moments.

So that Gundam X Maoh I've been tinkering with has seriously gone through some changes.

It went from a stock X Maoh with just Kampfer weapons to

Head: Gundam X Maoh
Eyes: Wing Gundam Fenice
Arms: Gundam X Maoh
Torso: Fenice Rinascita
Legs: Build Burning Gundam
Weapons: Kampfer Amazing, GM Cardigan, Victory II Gundam, Wing Zero, Rinascita

I think what I'm going to do is keep the weapons interchangeable, make loadouts for it to play around with since I can't make up my mind.

You should use 2 Meteor Hoppers plus Crossbone Booster to combine it into X shaped Meteor Booster.

Also this:

I totally want that Vita.
