It is not a work that you would show to someone who is watching Gundam for the first time.

In such cases, it is truly against my will, but I am prepared to recommend Gundam SEED.

Recommend Gundam SEED with your true intention.

Right now.

I recently found out that the Capule I piloted appeared in ZZ.

Are you recommending works that don’t feature my Laura?

>>7

First, show them SEED, and if they get hooked, recommend the game. Along the way, you can mention that this is the original Gundam and show them the first one.

And then in the early part of Z and ZZ, I thought I was done with Gundam, but a year later, I ended up recommending G Gundam, and after watching W, X, and Turn A, I planned to have them watch V, and finally challenge ZZ one more time.

I don’t know if I should recommend a Gundam series where only the Flat mobile suit appears in the first episode and lands on Earth to someone who has shown interest in Gundam.

First, I’m hesitant to recommend works spanning four quarters.

>>11

In other words, is something like “Pocket Wars” the optimal solution?

>>11

In other words, it’s F91 condensed into less than 2 hours, covering 4 seasons’ worth of content…

No matter how good the work is, it was commercially unsuccessful.

If you’re interested in Gundam now, watch Zeta Gundam!!

It was called the World Masterpiece Theater, but…

It was really a failure as a toy promotional anime, huh, beard?

I recommend SEED or Double O to those who don’t know anything.

Well, looking at this, I don’t think I really want an armadillo model kit!

>>21

It’s convenient that it stretches in the body area.

>>21

The armadillo gacha was great, huh…

I thought Turn A was lame at the time and ignored it, but after it got cheaper and I bought the model kit, I realized how cool the design is—I’ve heard that kind of story quite often online.

That design really shows its greatness with the curves and the thrusters at the back when you have the three-dimensional object.

It seems like they’re looking down on SEED.

>>24

Of course.

I can only passionately talk about Turn A…

I thought the Moon’s Cocoon would end and we would settle things with Turn X next… but then I was shocked by being shown the Golden Autumn…

On the contrary, I think ∀ is the best recommendation for someone who is watching Gundam for the first time.

Despite the sudden arrival of god-like mechanical soldiers from the heavens in a military balance reminiscent of the Civil War…

The battlefield becoming a quagmire has a romanticism as an SF-like simulation, and then there’s Laura.

I’m not good with any Diana counter characters other than Harry…

>>28

Captain Xeno is fine too…!

>>30

The thrill of dawn in the middle of the night is truly amazing.

The viewers synchronize with Zenoa.

>>28

I think Major Aji and Mr. Xeno are good, and I also think it’s good that Milan is gradually being swayed towards a more hardline stance.

>>28

I understand that there are people you have difficulty with.

Amateur-like folks are given powerful weapons.

I can understand that it’s stressful to see someone who has been thrown onto a planet without proper preparation and is unable to take optimal actions.

>>35

Agrippa Mentena did his best.

Only those who view from the perspective of Turn A can see the characters’ dark histories!

I recommend Gundam 0080, which is short and well-organized, can be seen as a war story, and has a protagonist who is a civilian, making it easy for those unfamiliar with Gundam to empathize with it.

Was MS cool? Then let’s start from the 1st…

The three-part movie series is perfect for carrying the story.

Did you become interested in Amuro and the others?

Then I recommend the TV series.

The suspicious artwork is like a joke, but the story is actually well done.

Once you’ve fully enjoyed Gundam, let’s move on to Char’s Counterattack.

I’m a Newtype, you know…

Not limited to Gundam, the most common stumbling point is the art style… So (according to my research), I always suggest watching the latest work, no matter what.

>>36

I have high hopes that Jiku AX will be perfect for beginners.

The catchy character and the shadow of the Universal Century behind it.

I hope that beginners who find Zeke Axis interesting will have a reason to delve deeper into it.

What should I watch first in Gundam? It’s better to check out the latest work and play the games too!

In other words, most people from the Heisei era are generally in this trend.

So, I should have just worn the normal suit~

I don’t think I’m a masterpiece, but I like MS IGLOO.

I don’t think it’s a work suitable for someone who is watching Gundam for the first time to see right away.

That aside, I would like to observe what happens to those who got into Gundam through MS IGLOO.

First, I recommend MS IGLOO.

G-Reco is quite independent from the series, making it ideal for beginners.

Tōno’s anime tends to choose its audience…

>>44

I don’t understand what they’re saying, and the situation keeps changing, making me want to take a break every 10 minutes or so.

>>50

I think that the circumstances and intentions of various people, despite being diverse, are often depicted in Tomino’s anime as the situation and battles progressing mercilessly.

The existence of a super cool scene where Strike stands up, breaking free from restraints while a stunning ending song plays and the dock is ablaze, is really powerful, even if you’ve never seen Gundam.

The one that was shown on TV and the one that was shown in the movie are

They’re all designed with newcomers in mind.

You can start from whichever one you like…

I used to think, “What is Laura, Laura…?” back then.

I recently realized the connection to Hideki, and it feels refreshing.

SEED is still recommended as a beginner’s introduction to Gundam.

If you properly watch FREEDOM now, you can overcome the sadness of how fate ends.

Let’s do it this way.

After showing Build Divers to someone who knows nothing about Gundam, show them Re:Rise.

>>49

I’m interested in how it will actually turn out.

How elements aimed at Gundam fans that exist beyond a certain extent are accepted.

The amazing thing about the dawn in the middle of the night is that those who love Gabann will feel the emotions of their enemy, Diana Counter’s Zenoa.

>>53

Both enemies and allies are just barbarians, even after the explosion there are only barbarians. I will entrust those who seem to understand me and take responsibility…

It’s already quite old even in SEED…

With the development of subscription services, it has become easier for overseas audiences to watch Japanese anime.

I thought it was just a copy of SW, but when I watched Gundam, I was like, “Whoa, this is so intense…” and I’ve fallen into the abyss.

The position of the Gavan team would be the same for anyone else, but if the Lett team were replaced, the situation might have changed.

Let’s set aside the negative trust issues for now.

I understand that Mr. Will Game’s story is very important, but there are too many unknown old tales, love affairs, bad women, and breasts, making it all a bit chaotic.

Mr. Will is just too foolish, and with that ending, it’s tough in many ways…

It might be best to start with Super Robot Wars or G Generation, after all.

When I had discussions with my professor about contemporary culture during my student days, various students were lending DVDs and manga.

I lent my Turn A, and it seemed like they were enjoying it quite a bit. It might have been just lip service, but I remember them saying it was interesting how human emotions and desires were expressed.

However, I have a desire to use ∀ alongside Bren and King Gainer as an introduction to Yoshiyuki Tomino.

I think many people who have never watched Gundam still know about it to some extent, so I don’t think there would be a problem starting with ∀.

I only know Gundam from games, and that’s pretty much it.

In any era, there are many people for whom “this is the Gundam that airs on TV” is the first.

Which one to watch first? You don’t have to worry too much about that.

>>63

It should be viewed from works that have an interest in Han Xin.

The first step to that starting point will likely be the art style, followed by songs, voices, and others’ impressions.

>>71

That might be better, but if that’s how the conversation ends, the thread will turn into a dinner survey.

In Gundam, Amuro is the hero and Char is the villain, right?

>>64

That’s not it!!!

>>68

I’ll tell you, so let’s go drinking!!

>>64

It was supposed to be a Shah!

The unique mech design of Turn A might be better appreciated without prejudice if seen before encountering other Gundams.

The scene where Jakop and Bruno quietly prepare themselves, knowing the existence of the nuclear threat in the early dawn, was striking.

When it comes to an introduction to Tomino’s anime, it has to be ∀…

It’s long, but

>>70

Well, if that’s the case, then 1st is just fine.

It’s pretty good even if it’s the first time for ∀.

In the end, if I watch other Gundam series, I might want to see it again…

That atmosphere is quite unique.

Unleash the fury of justice, Gundam!

Is ∀ suitable for beginners to Tomino!? Isn’t it quite intense in the Tomino style!?

I thought that way, but after watching it on BS, I’ve started to think it might not be so.

>>76

After all, it’s BrenPowered or Lean’s Wings.

I heard that Char’s character and talent prevented the meteor impact.

The battles in G-Reco were interesting, but I couldn’t really understand the story…

>>79

Although it is set in a quite unique future world, there is no clear explanation provided…

Moreover, look, among these various factions, there are also moderates and hawks!

Are you all watching Ideon? Not watching it? Then I’ve brought a video, so please watch it first. As long as there is a director, it is definitely Ideon.

∀ (all)

>>82

X

I watched it all the way through for the first time in a while, but there are a lot of characters that act too much on their own.

>>83

Isn’t that quite like a typical Tomino work?

>>86

It’s not about tidy soldiers and wars, but rather inexperienced armies and armed civilians.

I want to move in a way that I desire, which is typical of Tomino’s anime.

Han Xin!?

In G-Reco, since Bellri is floundering, I watched until the end without really understanding the purpose or why they were fighting… and it ended up being confusing.

>>88

I tried to show off a bit to the girl I fell in love with at first sight, but ended up killing her boyfriend, so now I’m working hard to atone for that.

Tomino’s anime is, how should I put it…

I like that you are good at hate control.

Zion dropped colonies, so it’s kind of bad.

Whether the Federation is just or not.

Even if I don’t quite understand Tomino’s anime, it’s great because the characters are all lively and energetic.

Watching Tomino’s anime really cheers me up!

When my uncle was young, the hard-to-understand Gundam was Z Gundam, you know…

Did that become easier to understand?

>>97

I think the audience has become more accustomed to Tomino and understands him better.

>>97

It’s not particularly easier to understand.

There are just more confusing Gundams.

SEED is long.

Stick with the original.

>>98

It doesn’t change.

I recommend SD or W.

If you have time to argue aimlessly about G-Reco without doing any research, why not take the time to actually investigate or go see the world?!

Regarding Z, I think there is an abundance of setting explanations available online, so in that sense, it has become easier to understand.

I saw quite a few people who reacted to the impression that G-Reco was hard to understand in the TV version, but after the movie came out, it feels like the vibe shifted to something like “Honestly, the TV version was hard to understand…”

>>105

Really? Everyone has been discussing it normally and explaining it to those who don’t understand.

Wasn’t it part of the set, even if it was an extra comment?

>>107

It was fun, the thread after watching G-Reco.

I might have retired without that.

>>117

Instructor Derensen is too strong! But isn’t it amazing that Krim can handle it with just his fingers?

It was really fun…

>>107

Rather, I have the impression that I often see people who say “It’s confusing” and then snap back.

At that time, it was handled in a way that was really hard to understand, like “Who’s the good guy’s robot?” level…

The manga version, the movie version, and the Super Robot Wars participation are steadily breaking it down…

It seems that Z is highly rated and ZZ is rated low on overseas anime sites, which is pretty much the same vibe as domestically.

>>109

In overseas, especially in America, it seems that if you insert comedy into a serious series, it gets heavily criticized.

If I had to recommend something, wouldn’t it be good to just go with the next Ziek Ax?

This guy thinks like this, so you need to think of it in a way that makes sense for this situation; otherwise, it just doesn’t make sense.

>>111

At least for characters that are in the spotlight, shouldn’t we try to understand each person’s circumstances? Isn’t it also related to “character settings”?

I really like ZZ and F91…

(I don’t think it’s so difficult if you don’t look for reasons to stop watching even now.)

When I look at Z now, I’m more concerned about the lack of ups and downs in the story.

I saw ZZ for the first time in the recent Abema marathon, and it was interesting, so I realized I have to watch it myself.

>>120

Check it with your own eyes!

Somehow, around Seed 00, it feels catchy.

>>121

Actually, this has increased the new demographic a lot…

G-Reco is definitely interesting, but since the protagonist’s affiliations keep changing and there’s no clear distinction of factions through MS designs, it can lead to confusion for someone watching Gundam for the first time, making them less likely to understand it.

There are various Gundam series, so I think it would be good to recommend based on your favorite type of work.

Do you like professional wrestling and martial arts? Now, which one is good…

>>123

You understand, right!?

>>131

It’s the interesting original version with a variety of fight scenes, isn’t it!?

Z came out with more variable machines than I expected, and the Mk2 Type 100 became outdated quickly.

When Zeta seriously starts to set things up or dig in, it becomes incredibly complicated.

“If you look at it with a mindset like ‘It seems bad, so it’s bad!’ it’s quite simple and clear.”

It is made to look that way.

>>125

The anime about the bald guy is well-made in a way that you can enjoy it if you just set aside any points you might question.

The Titans are much easier to understand as purely evil compared to Zeon.

Considering that the “colony drop” was only hinted at in the opening footage at the time of the first broadcast, I believe it did not exist beyond that.

I feel like ZZ is finally starting to be recognized in Japan as something that’s acceptable.

It’s precisely because I saw Mashumeru’s foolishness in the early stages and how Kyarasūn was treated like a cleaning lady.

The gap after the enhancement is tough, isn’t it…?

>>133

Just when I’ve gotten used to the early vibes, the usual vibes come back, making the temperature difference terrible.

>>133

It’s hard to tell if it was intentional, but that gap is pretty tough, isn’t it?

Mashmur, who repeatedly said it was against chivalry, is now dropping colonies…

>>143

If it had been the kind of vibe after ∀, you probably would have joined us…

>>147

(I guess I’ll become a comrade since I’m lined up with the OP.)

Looking for a place to talk after watching G-Reco.

At that time, the pottery was already over, so arriving here marked the beginning of my Toshiyaki…

After that, due to various circumstances, I became anonymous.

I think it’s true that because our predecessors lowered the hurdles so much, when we look at it now, we can think, “Oh? This is actually interesting!”

I continued watching from the end of Z’s Camille, and I ended up with a fever from the temperature difference.

When I read comments about anime, not just Gundam or Tomino, I often think, “How serious are you to focus on that detail…! If you don’t like it, then why give up?!”

The main content of Z is Camille’s suffering and anguish.

First move W, go!

The Gundam protagonists surprisingly have playful and comedic aspects as well.

Super Robot Wars picks up on those things properly…

Well, it really isn’t popular, but thanks to the setting, the game and various developments aren’t treated too poorly. ZZ

>>144

The MS from Z to ZZ is so popular that when model kits are released, they sell out immediately.

It’s not as complex as I thought, but it feels like the story doesn’t move dramatically, which is the case for Z and W.

Turn A is good, but Century Color is also nice.

>>148

(You’re dancing with me, so I guess we’re becoming friends…)

Isn’t it easy to watch because it feels like “Iron-Blooded” or a late-night anime?

Really? Doesn’t it make it easier to recommend with an entrance like in World Masterpiece Theater?

I wonder if it’s okay to honestly recommend G-Gundam, since it starts to feel more like pro wrestling from the finals league.

If you look at the online reputation, you’ll probably be taken aback by Domon’s intense demeanor and the darkness of the story in the first season.

It’s not particularly bright even after going to the well-reviewed Shinjuku.

>>153

If you like pro wrestling, then it’s the Build Fighters series that ends with competitions all the way through.

>>153

We were all watching it on Abema’s live broadcast, but there were many people who were confused. Even by the first episode, it was quite a counter to the Universal Century.

A giant mechanical doll suddenly strides through the medieval world.

I love that opening scene.

If ZZ had been serious from the beginning, I might not have been able to watch it at all…

Immediately after the final battle of Z, most of the main characters I had grown attached to are either dead, missing, or turned into wrecks…

Tomino’s anime is great because the characters are so lively.

Full of energy.

Even 1st Amuro is somehow active.

Isn’t Build Fighters a different genre after all…?

The first episode of ZZ makes me really anxious because suddenly it has a shabby font and strangely poor image quality…

Last week’s Ganchan featured Grandma jabbing a Gundam with a hoe, and this week it’s the laundry episode.

This is really easy to recommend.

ZZ has become somewhat fixed in various ways compared to others due to the later additions to the work.

I think it’s easier to have hits if there’s a gap between releases rather than doing them one after another, watching Gundam anime.

>>167

If you continue purely, you will lack sufficient practice and end up running out of steam.

Lupin and so on.

Gundam creates completely different things with each series, so it’s not really like that.

G Gundam has too many points to criticize, so it’s a bit…

>>162

It seems like I was left behind at the labian rose in ZZ.

If you’re a complete beginner who doesn’t understand anything, a beard is okay too.

I think if you’re recommending Gundam as a war anime to beginners, it should start with 00.

In the beginning, it’s the boring Imagawa, you know G…

>>171

It’s not boring; it’s just that they have to spend 10 episodes on showcasing the faces of the main five characters and one episode to sell toys, plus they need to explain the world view.

There are too few people who understand the worldview of G Gundam.

The thread without a name isn’t thinking about which Gundam series to recommend to someone unfamiliar with it.

I want you to be shocked by my dark history.

That is what you call an otaku’s selfishness.

I always have an image of cloudy skies until the finals in G Gundam.

Z is often mentioned, but due to the tight production schedule from the outset, both W and X had pretty rough combat scenes as well.

>>176

Takamatsu: “Give me a break! The crew was doing their best on site!”

>>176

Was it the Maelstrom operation? Something about an important operation that got launched.

>>180

I’m not skipping anything at all!!

You fought against Axis, made Haman retreat, and obtained Gryps 2 and the Colony Laser, right?

It’s just that Camille and the others’ fight is only a small part of the large-scale operation.

The reason someone who was unsure about stopping watching has found to stop watching is unreliable.

Especially when recommending to those who want to see it.

While X may seem lighthearted, the animation is completely out of ideas and the characters don’t move at all during battles, which really conveys the struggles of the production team.

>>181

Looking back, I feel like Jamil and Lancelot were moving quite openly.

Just play G Generation!

When you continue to watch W, you can see that an amazing bank is being used, which becomes quite interesting.

Heavy Arms is always striking the same pose.

>>184

Feel the era.

>>184

Since the enemy comes from the ground and the air, we can just perform horizontal barrages and anti-air barrages.

The latest one?

From the design you liked

Look at the igloo, look at the Duda.
