while it is not necessary it adds backstory to the Characters and what is happening in Zeta especially in regards to Quattrosurvivor said:Should I be watching Z Gundam if I never watched the original one? I watched the first 10 minutes of that episode and I seem lost.
Crunchyroll has original Gundam so should I watch that first?
Char lol
Also it is kinda important if you want to watch Chars Counterattack after Zeta.
But I'd watch the movie compilation of the original Gundam instead of the episodes.
