Cross post from the Extreme VS thread. If you were ever thinking about jumping in, now's a great time to do it.

So lets say I decide to jump on this, where exactly should I start and what should I expect?
Sometime this month. The episode is done.

Never. I think I got some sort of wing kit when I was like 7 or 8, I just remember I had no idea what to do and that it was a terrible toy.
I would say start with one or two 1/100 High Grades to sort of get yourself comfortable with putting together a kit, then move up to Master Grades and Real Grades.
I with Kagari on this one, I liked Wing and hate 00.
I really believe the best thing to suggest to someone looking for a modern Gundam that is decently balanced is SEED. Granted I don't care for it, but it does give a decent take on UC with much newer animation and a reduction on Space magic.
At this point it's very difficult for me to recommend people walk in blind to 0079 and while Unicorn is amazing it really shouldn't be watched without 0079/Zeta/ZZ. Same goes for Turn A, which alot of people on this board love, I just don't think going into this without the majority of the black history is the correct way to do it.
Every single Gundam in existence has this problem. Depending on how much Space Magic you can handle shit like Zeta Biosensor and ZZ's Judau being able to power a recharge a one use only weapon will be far, far worse then any cheese the Wing characters can throw out.
Also if cheese is your problem you might want to avoid 00 and the fairy dust that cures space cancer.
Late as hell but that Zeta intro is awesome.
I have to say, the Zeta Gundam will probably always be my favorite mobile suit. Something about its design, mechanics, color, etc just makes it perfect.
Kagari knows what's up. G Gundam is awesome.

My 1/35 Nu Gundam head bust came in, I can't wait until the weekend is here to start painting
Say what? Link/pics?
I did a quick test fit so its held together with tape, heres a pic of most of it taped up. The V fin and the chin are not on yet. I'm going to finish up the sanding tonight and then start tomorrow, from the chest part to the top of the helmet its about the size of a 12 oz coke can.
I'm glad to see so much G Gundam Love in here! I knew about Gundam for years and just started finally watching it! I saw 00 first followed by Wing and then G Gundam and so far G is my favorite hands down from the characters to the....
My point. I'm gonna start Age next but all the negativity about it scares me but, I told myself I'm going to watch them all. Great thread btw

Gorgeous! Where's this from?
I should probably give G Gundam another chance. I tried to watch it back when it was on Toonami, but I didn't like it. I didn't even bother watching the entire series. I watched maybe 10 or 15 episodes before I dropped it.
Watch the Japanese version, not the dub. The Japanese version conveys the proper EMOTION and DRAMA which lead to manly (or in my case womanly) tears ;-;
What? The dub was pretty cool, even if it was cheesy. Then again G is basically Laughing Cow factory levels but still.
I couldn't stand the dub... needs my Tomokazu Seki.

God dammit, right as I received this ugly THE BEST version for $10 more.

The only reason to watch G-Gundam with subs with to see 'God Gundam' and 'Devil Gundam'. Unless Bandai edited the subs too :/

I believe they did, though it's been awhile since I watched it subbed.
Some people just prefer original over dubbed man. I'm French and while there are a lot of quality dubs for movies and series over here, I pretty much always go original, should it be English, Japanese or whatever else, with very few exceptions (FF12>Eng for superior, KH>Fre for Disney nostalgia...)

I've always been a U.C. man meself, but unlike the majority of 0079 fans that take to Char as their raison d'etre for watching the series, to me the show is about the evolution of Bright Noa's character and his interactions with the other protagonists in the show.
Greatest captain ever in the U.C. Gundam universe. But on the other hand possibly the worst father and husband. Case in point:- Hathaway Noa.

I believe it showcases the tendency for fractured family relationships as a result of being in the military. +1 for realism.
Well, the same could be said about Tem Ray and Kamille's parents.

00 should've been like this from the beginning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcEY2EcQeZY
Ok so I plan on watching the original Gundam series next and I need to know what I need to be watching and in what order to do so from you awesome people here.
I have:
What order should I watch these in and am I missing anything? Help is much appreciated.
Also Kagari and Ezalc Where can I get an Icon like that but of Domon? Need a new look now that Christmas is over and considering the Gundam kick Im on right now it seems fitting.

0079/Gundam
O8Th Team
Stardust Memories
Zeta Gundam
ZZ Gundam
Char's Counter Attack
Unicorn
F91
Victory Gundam
Is the offical timeline as far as animated stuff goes I think. O8th Team and Stardust might be wrong though, I can't remember quite exactly on them. My bad, I forgot F91.
I actually disagree with this.
ZZ has some issues, but I really do think it should 100% be watched before CCA, it address's a few things and the second half of the show is just a very good and Judau makes an interesting third lead before getting back to Amuro in CCA.
I probably agree with this but coming off Zeta, a lot of people just want to go straight into Char vs. Amuro rather than doing another 47~ episodes of some (seemingly) unrelated show. I don't think it's a huge deal to skip it momentarily.
e:
I unironically love Kamille.
Yes but this very mind set has caused alot of damage and dislike for CCA(with several fans). With more then a few big name characters just missing and how some view the sudden change in Char to be against what happens in Zeta I just can't agree with skipping ZZ and going into CCA.
Also the simple fact is while ZZ has some serious pacing issues and the first part of the show has it's haters, nothing is as bad as Quess and the longer you can delay dealing with that thing the better in my eyes.
^^^
I dunno, I really had no problems with that when I watched CCA. But I've also probably been in to many dumb arguments about how Char is/is not consistent from Zeta to CCA to disagree.
But Unicorn will never finish!!

Just gives you a reason to watch that goodness over and over.
