What order would I watch the series?

Gundam 079 is the first. I've watched Gundam Wing, some of Seed, Gundam 00...and I think some of 79 on Toonami back in the day - I can't recall, all I remember is the Gundams had like...tubes connecting weapons and one Eyeball instead of two. I've been thinking about it for awhile, and it's just confusing to me.

So is there a order I should watch the series in? As they all connect in some way I've read...

It's a daunting task when go to the Wikis and try to figure it out myself, so I figured I'd ask for help...if there are any series besides Seed that I should skip, please inform me of your opinion and why.

Thanks.

Not that much really cept for like less than 10 episodes involving some scenes either female moaning due to the trace suit system with the gundam or naked Rain in the last few episodes due to the Dark/Devil Gundam absorbing her

Its more of those very hilarious cheesy quotes especially on english dub

I just read Gundam 079 is getting the Blu-ray treatment sometime this year...I think I'll wait. I made that mistake with Gundam Wing, accepting that the Remastered DVD's would be the best they'd get and re-watched it, then they announced the Blu-rays months later.

There's all you need in her sig info  ;)
There's no one in the world I'm interested in surpassing, excepted for myself.

Wow, well, it was Negi. Also, when I try to go to that website, it gives me a warning about not being a trusted website. Very odd.

I doubt there will ever be an end to Gundam. They can make TONS of them as long as they keep the same formula for each show.

1. Make a young male with "explainable skill" into a pilot.
2. Make sure he has a female childhood friend. Preferably one that has mixed feelings for him.
3. Give him an alternative girl to have a short romance with, giving him the pain of loss to force his character to develop.
4. Add a Char or Char-like-character. (This was one of 00's failings.)
5. Kill a few minor characters that the main knew, was friends with, or was related to. (Holy s*** that happened a lot in Zeta gundam.)
6. Completely ignore any technological advancements like Keys, Passwords, or Remote Shutdown when it comes to Mobile Suits. Gotta let them kids run off with brand new models and get them destroyed, then fail to properly discipline them for it... (God I hate Zeta.)
7. Make sure they're not unstoppable. This increases tension and makes it believable. It can also work as a convenient mechanic for them to actually justify Melee weapons through the use of limited ammunition/energy. (A failing of SEED, stupid Nuclear Gundams.)

There are a few more things, but they're not as common as these. For the most part none of these are complaints either.


My favorite Gundam series are The 08th MS Team, Stardust Memory, Wing + Endless Waltz, and Unicorn so far. I still have to watch Turn A gundam.
I HATED the MS IGLOO stuff because the CG threw me off and gave me a headache, War in the Pocket because it was an ungodly level of slowness for such long episodes, and Zeta Gundam because they really needed to keep those little f***ing kids locked up, little bastards stole mobile suits left and right getting them wrecked beyond repair... I would've left them out in space to die.
Seinen and Slice of Life cannot describe the same title, because daily life is too boring to be called a plot. Ecchi/fanservice is not plot either.

8. Make sure 3/4 of them are dead by the end of the series.

That's very strange... I'm guessing someone on 0fees was just being naughty so every single subdomain gets the bad reputation because of it.

I dunno. I don't think it's harmful. I may look into setting it up on my box and hosting it myself though if it's a problem.

That's confusing.

So that's the chronological order? Man this stuff is trippy.
