Gundam: Where Do You Start?

Mobile Suit Gundam. It's a series that can be extremely intimidating by the sheer volume of it. Then you realize there's two main time-lines:

Universal Century

(original)
-
"After Colony"
(different time-line, sometimes different universes, stand alone shows, etc)

Right now our only focus is the original Gundam in Universal Century. It's really more simple than you think. To get to know and love this franchise (and ultimately be sucked in for life) you need to begin here:




Mobile Suite Gundam: The Origin

What was the tragedy that decided the fates of Char Aznable, the man later nicknamed the "Red Comet" as an ace pilot of the Zeon forces, and his sister Sayla Mass?

The two siblings' journeys, brought on by the sudden death of their father Zeon Zum Deikun who was a leader of the Spacenoids, are depicted in the four episodes of "Chronicle of Char and Sayla."


The Zabi family who seize control of Side 3 and lead the Principality of Zeon, the early days of many renowned Zeon ace pilots who later fight in the One Year War, the secrets of mobile suit development, conflicts with the Earth Federation Forces, and the road leading to the outbreak of war—all will be revealed.


Animation: 10/10
Soundtrack: 9/10
Story: 10/10

One of the best anime to ever be made. Highly recommend. You will be on the edge of your seat begging for the next episode every time. Go. Watch it now!
