@kutless45 I thought going with origin would be good for an animation stand point. Then to get some context and go back. I'm looking forward to og gundam tbf
That's interesting. Most videos like this I've seen the person claims to be new to Gundam and then somehow knows what's going on. Watching this, I just kept going "Yep, he has no clue what he's in for." It's cool to see someone actually experience it for the first time. Not going to spoil it, but you have a lot of things about to happen during this series, so make sure to buckle up. As for any other Gundam, besides the OG, I'd recommend 08th MS Team, 0083, and 0080. Later on check out Unicorn. They're all Universal Century, so the same timeline as this, just years in the future. As for Alternate Universes, Gundam X is really good, but really low budget. Turn A is good, but totally different. And I'm going to catch hell, SEED is pretty decent. But it fails a lot, they set up an awesome story then forget to do it. Another interesting one is Igloo. It was early 2000's CGI stories set during the war. Looks like it's from a PS2, but some really cool stories in there.
@Plaprad I certainly wish I could say gotcha I was faking all along. But alas I am a noob at gundam and I'm glad it is showing I guess xD actually no it is good it's showing that way or it would defeat the point. Yeah I am looking forward to the last few episodes and seeing where it goes from there. I am really hoping og gundam is how I am thinking it might be now, fingers crossed. And thankyou they shall all be added to the list. What would be your recommendation for after gundam origin ? Is the movies of og right or should I just go for the series? Is there much difference between the films and series ? What about after the og gundam whether films or series
@@TheBoomerBase My personal opinion on what to watch for the OG is to watch the movies first. They clean up a lot of stuff, remove a lot of the quirky stuff, and can be watched in an afternoon. If you liked the movies, then watch the series. If not, don't bother. That way you still get the main story of the One Year War, but you don't spend a lot of time on it. One example that's not really a spoiler, the Gundam is a Mobile Suit in the movies. In the series, they did this weird thing where it was more of a fighter with mobile suit parts that change out. You can see this again in SEED Destiny. Kinda wonky and weird. But the movies, it's just a suit which makes more sense. One thing about them I will say is Doans Island is something to think about. They did an episode that was so bad it's not included in most places for the series. But, they also redid the episode into a pretty good movie a couple years back. So it's up to you on which you watch. I'd argue both because it is a good story, and the OG episode is good for a laugh.
@Plaprad I love this comment. I like that vibe of watch the movies. If I love em watch the show if not continue and can always come back another day. The switching out gear reminds me of like transformers armada with the minicons xD
Gundam does have something for everyone, This being one of my favorites, along with Iron Blooded Orphans, and a few others that came out in the last several years.
@jvcyt298 This so far is a great place to start ! And I have heard lots of good things about IBO so I'm definitely very much looking forward to seeing this !
@@TheBoomerBase ; I recommend the 6y part OVA, rather than the 12 part series, but that's only because I think that's only because I watched that one first.
@jvcyt298 what series are we talking about here sorry ? Is this for origin as I am watching the 6 part movie ova rather than advent comet or something that's 12 eps
@@TheBoomerBase ; Was that what they called the 12 part series? I had forgotten, it came out later, and I don't remember watching the whole thing, because it was the same as the OVA, just in a different format.
@@jvcyt298 As far as im aware - I could be wrong - I think there are two origin series - One is just Origin thats 6 parts and movie length - and then Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Advent of the Red Comet which is 12 ep 20 min series - I got told to go with the OVA movie one for more depth - I think I had watched Red Comet but from revisiting origin I think I only saw a few eps of the red comet and not all of it :)
it seems no one has told you but anything marked "The Origin" is not Canon to the original UC timeline its all based of the manga which is a entire retelling of the first series and there are alot of changes (alot for the worst) that dosnt make it bad but you will find alot of the big gundam fans not like the origin that much
btw if u want a short gundam anime that will make you want to watch gundam even more watch Thunderbolt Gundam its pure GOLD its only 2 seasons 4 episodes each and some of the best animation in all of gundam (even though its set in UC as well its also "Technically" not canon but everyone loves it)
@2Lupus1 ahh that's unfortunate. I think origin so far has been amazing to start for me at least. Is origin like half canon xD as in the overall context is right? Or when I come to the og gundam is it just all gonna be different with different characters?
@2Lupus1 would I understand what's going on ? Or would it spoil things at all. As I kinda wanna keep it semi linear for timeline etc. But added to list anyways till I hear back from you ;)
@@TheBoomerBase it wont ruin anything and there will be the same charcters (some a bit diffrent from their orgins version) just orgin changes some major events and changes the technology quite a bit for example in the orgin the fedaration get mobile suits alot earlier then they do in the main time line also the dawn rebellion never actually happend (just to make things clear its perfectly fine to watch the orgin before the orgianl series also the orgin is a technically a prequel anyway so it dosnt directly change anything with the orgianl series anything but keep in mind its not canon
@@TheBoomerBase thunderbolt gundam is not connected to anything else at all it can be easliy watched by its self (its what i reccomend as a starter series for gundam) its just also set at the same time the og series think of it as an alterneivte timeline of the orginal series like the orgin
Your in for a wild ride. Starting with the Origin and then going to the original series is a good way to get into it.
