Hi friends, I really want to get into Gundam but god it’s just to much, I can’t spend months watching all of it and what I want is to watch the new shows that are coming out now (like the shows that where made between 2020 and now) while also knowing what’s going on.
So where should I start and is there like a youtube video that recaps the main like plot points up to it? Please help!
Iron Blooded Orphans is a great starting point with the series as it’s a standalone story but carries the same theme seen in most other Gundam shows. The original Mobile Suit Gundam aged pretty well IMO, it’s definitely the most traditional of the series and will introduce you to a lot of the tropes you’ll see in other shows.
If you just want to get a quick experience then just watch War in the Pocket or Thunderbolt December Sky. Both stories can be finished in a single sitting. Once you get familiar with the series I hope you decide to watch Turn A Gundam, it had some of the most interesting mech designs and world building I’ve ever seen.
