Recommended for Beginners! Gundam Series Viewing Order

Even if you are interested in Gundam, there are so many series that you don't know where to start watching them, right?

For those who are interested in Gundam, I have personally picked up the easy-to-watch & must-see works!

To begin with, there are so many different types of Gundam, but is it necessary to watch them all?

The answer is NO!

There are epic series with connected stories and short complete series that are not connected at all.

Simply put, Gundam can be divided into the Universal Century (called the U.C. series) and other series (called the Another series).

The U.C. requires preparation, while the Others you can start watching right away!

👇Easy-to-watch & Must-See Works

Universal Century Series

A group of series in the same world line connected by the year of the Universal Century (U.C.)

The human race moved into space due to overpopulation! But war!

Generally, the conflict structure is Earth Federation vs. Space Rebels (Zeon).

★Newtype...New human beings who have expanded their so-called sixth sense by going into space.c They can read minds and see the future if they try hard enough, which is useful for combat! (...)

★Char...The protagonist of the space century if you follow the story. However, he is the last boss. He goes into hiding. The orphaned son of Zeon Zum Daikun, the first leader of the independent nation of the Republic of Zeon. He is a prince. My favorite character!

Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin U.C.0068

The story of Char's birth. First prequel.

How Char is called → Casbal Rem Daikun or Edwau Mas.

【Mobile Suit Gundam】U.C.0079 ①

The first Gundam. It's okay if you watch the theater trilogy. Amuro, let's go!

How Char is called → Char Aznable

【Mobile Suit Z Gundam】U.C.0085 ②

Camille, the second generation protagonist, is a machine for making stray words. Possesses the highest newtype ability in history.

How Char is called → Quattro Basina.

【Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ】U.C.0088 

Jude is the third generation protagonist of light, which is rare in Gundam. He stole a Gundam and tried to sell it.

The work itself has a divided reputation, but it is becoming a must-see subject as it is being made into a new video work.

【Mobile Suit Gundam Char of the Counterattack】U.C.0093 ③

The final battle between Amuro and Char. It is also called the big fight involving the universe.

Char's title → General.

【Mobile Suit Gundam UC】U.C.0001+U.C.0096 ⓪ ★Let's start with this!

The strongest Gundam hero in my opinion. Honestly, it's a masterpiece. Banagher, the main character who is an uncle's killer.

Char (fake) → Full Frontal

【Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway of the Flashlight】U.C.0105

Hathaway is a traumatized hero. He is the central figure of a terrorist group. He is also the central figure in a love triangle.

The series of red highlights is the key storyline that underlies the Space Century series!

These will help you better understand the stories of the other Space Century series.

However, these series were aired a long time ago, so the animation is a bit old. First, let's start with Mobile Suit Gundam UC(←read as Unicorn)!

This is a recently created work, and the story, BGM, and robot animation are all top-notch!

Now, the next article will explain the order in which to view the Another Series!▶︎
