---------------------------
Gundam (Japanese: ガンダムシリーズ, Hepburn: Gandamu Shirīzu, lit. Gundam Series) is a Japanese military fiction media franchise/media mix. Created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise, the franchise features giant robots, or mecha, with the name "Gundam". The franchise began on April 7, 1979, with Mobile Suit Gundam, a TV series that defined the "real robot" mecha anime genre by featuring giant robots called mobile suits (including the original titular mecha) in a militaristic setting. The popularity of the series and its merchandise spawned a franchise that includes 50 TV series, films and OVAs as well as manga, novels and video games, along with a whole industry of plastic model kits known as Gunpla which makes up 90 per cent of the Japanese character plastic-model market.

For anyone saying not to start with Gundam The Origin, give this a watch 👀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGXQl4awqJtgd9U It might change your mind or at LEAST explains my reasoning

Cold…I respect it 😂

[@theSpartan187]

The thing with origin is that it's adapted from the flashback at from the origin manga with as a whole is a retelling of the original show. Events in origin don't add up to similar events in main canon

[@ronronchau]

still don't origin is more or less a background story-telling and rationalization to some uncleared/blanked settings from the OG TV and the movie series, if you don't watch the original first you do found a bit bored as you expected something(aka being spoiled) not like the 0079 side-off series like 08MS, war in the pocket which considered as a independent story in a same time space, or thunderbolt which is literally a non-canon story

[@CheddarDrip]

I definitely prefer a chronological order but I understand the idea of following the timeline in order. I think origin hits a lot harder if you know what it’s referencing and what it’s changing. Kinda like how it’s hard to appreciate a remastered game if you didn’t play the original.

[@ルクミ-w8m]

Origin should be watched after you finish MSG like a love letter side story for the fans since it gives away some of the mysteries. Imagine knowing Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader in Episode 3 first then you "find out" in the original trilogy that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father. Wow, what a reveal. I already knew some of the UC lore beforehand but I started watching the series with Origin before MSG and I felt like MSG was not as intense as it was supposed to be.

[@CheddarDrip]

@@ルクミ-w8m I mean chronological as in when they were released in real life, but I can see what you mean. If somebody really enjoys the original MSG, going straight into origin would keep the fun alive. But I think Zeta is such a perfect follow up tonally that I would still recommend that next.

[@the8team318]

​@@AdamPasztory1 i have watched the movie trilogy and all I can say is they focus to much with Amuro, removing some scenes where we see other characters interacting with each other and even removing some of them completely, like Sunmalo and their Chef. They also remove some scenes with Zeon showing their "good side"; for example when White Base was dropping off the survivors from Side 7, 2 Zeon pilots saw a woman with a child and dropped supplies for them, and when one of the Black Tri-stars died, they offered a funeral for him when they retreated right before reengaging Amuro. Storywise they also rearranged some events in the story, making it completely rushed. And they completely replaced the G - Armor

Noice Vis, Hopefully this video means we'll be getting videos of gundam in the future. I specially cannot wait until you make videos on the UC side stories, 08th MS Teams, War in the pocket and Thunderbolt really got me more invested in the franchise than the gundam original series. And on a personal note, I think you'll definitely really enjoy IBO, to this day it's still one of my all time favs. Nicely done video btw, considering how long some other gundam introductory videos are, I'm sure this vid will blow up on views in the future.

[@Viseak]

Cheers man! I’d absolutely love to do more videos on Gundam in the future, cause if I’m perfectly honest my channels a bit all over the place, which is fine, but if I want to grow I guess I gotta niche down a bit? I love doing the Zoids stuff and I’ll always continue to do it, but the fan-base isn’t huge, so maybe niching down to the mecha guy could be in my best interest 🤔 Who knows the whole KZbin thing is so confusing I’ve been doing it for a couple years and I still feel like I’m trying to get my footing. Out of curiosity man, other than just simply reviews, is there any other type of Gundam content you’d like to see? Any specifics about the series you’d like to see covered?

[@alejandrogonirovirosa3214]

@@Viseak I completely get it, I love Zoids and the zoids community, but unfortunately it's pretty small. I'm completely on board if you wanna go for the mecha route (with the occasional non mecha series or videogame here and there), there's lots of franchises you could cover, you already did Code Geass, Zoids and Gundam, so now you could talk about Gurren Lagann, Evangelion, Macross, Voltron, Mazinger Z, Eureka Seven, S.S.S.S. Gridman, Aldnoah Zero, Full Metal Panic!, etc. I'm really excited to see you expanding on the mecha genre in your channel (I believe every zoids and gundam fan is a fan of mecha in general) and to answer your question, I would love to see you do deep analysis videos on the gundam lore and characters (they're really complex and worth explaining) as well as the overall message of the series (There's no good or bad guys in war, there's also no winners or heroes in war, only death and destruction), I would also love to hear your personal thoughts on the series, maybe do a comparison between them (some series are really alike, others are very different, would be interesting to hear what you think about that). I think I went a bit overboard with the suggestions (sorry about that, i get excited over things like this), but whatever you decide I'll stay here watching your content. Cheers mate!

[@Viseak]

@@alejandrogonirovirosa3214 nah that’s fair enough mate! Gurren Lagann and Eva are two series I definitely want to cover at some point. Character analysis is also something I’m heavily considering for Gundam, I think Amuro gets really overshadowed by Char and would love to make videos on both individually cause they’re fantastic well written characters. As well as exploring NewTypes and the core themes surrounding them, it’s honestly such an interesting topic seeing human evolution in that way and I’d love to go in on it further. The themes of war could end up being a great case study on how perfectly Zoids Chaotic Century and Gundam explore the nuance of there being no true ‘good’ and ‘bad’ guys, in an anime where you’d typically expect good and bad guys. There’s plenty I want to cover trust me, it just takes me AGES to write scripts especially on series I don’t know inside out like Zoids hahaha

@@PauloShiotsuki it’s so much more than the old animation, although that’s a large factor, it’s also the pacing and the monster of the week format absolutely killing any enjoyment a modern audience would get. It’s slow, it’s old, and is boring. Sure, there’s a lot to be said about the characters and the world, which is why I rate the movies. And besides, all of it is done far better in Zeta, even Double Zeta or really, near ANY other UC entry anyway

The Origin is probably my favor of all, but I actually recommend watching 0079, Z and Char's Counterattack first, UC-wise. I find it cooler to watch the origin in a retrospective way, you will like and understand the characters better. However, for very first timer to Gundam i actually recommend Seed or 00, the animation from old UC ones are just too old for most people and they will probably find the story too slow and dragging. Seed and 00 are not too old, the characters and mobile suits are cool, story is pretty "public-friendly", like there is something for everyone and you might not love it but you won't hate it.

Could not disagree more with starting with Origin. Canonicity aside, as a prequel it’s inherently written with the expectation of you having the original show or at least knowing it’s characters (it’s why the Origin manga only does the backstory after Movie 2) Also personally speaking, not only does Origin have some stupid shit thrown it (ex. the real Char), it misses a lot of why people actually like Char as a character for the sake of making him “the coolest” since he’s the author’s favourite character

[@GreyGhostEnty6]

[@jadyndenys7736]

Origin should be watched last lol. It won't be as impactful otherwise. And 83 is after Zeta for the same reason.

[@Viseak]

I disagree, but I tend to have a pretty warped view on prequels. There are very few I’d genuinely consider better to watch after all the original stuff. Most prequels, when done right, work as a great entry point for newcomers into a series that are too intimidated by its long history (Gundam being a near perfect example, the fact Origin’s not technically canon ruins this a little but ya know, close enough).

08th ms team took me by suprise. It was good

New Viseak video 👀 It’s only 60 seconds 😞

[@Viseak]

Damn, way to make me feel insecure dude 😒 Next video will definitely be longer tho haha

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

Me before watching this video: Don't know much of anything about this franchise, but how expansive can it be? Me after watching: 0_0

[@Viseak]

I mean it ain’t as crazy as something like Fate, but it’s definitely pretty expansive, and well worth your time

[@charlescaulkins8306]

@@Viseak So aside from time crunching, what do the movies have over the original first Gundam anime?

[@Viseak]

@@charlescaulkins8306 honestly, practically nothing, the 3rd movie has slightly better animation if I’m not mistaken (and a slightly different ending) But if you’ve got the time the original TV run might be the way to go, it does suffer a bit from ‘monster of the week’ syndrome, but if you can get over that it allows the characters to develop a lot more. Personally I watched the first 15 or so episodes of the TV series and just switched to the movies after that as it was dragging a bit too much for my liking

[@zachwalton3544]

Which is the OG series you guys refer to? I always thought Gundam wing was the OG lol that’s what came on toonami when I was a kid

[@DemoniakalMk]

​@@zachwalton3544The one from 1979

[@substratestudios7473]

BOSH! done.

[@muskaart1136]

How hard is it for people to just watch stuff in release order

[@Viseak]

Release order ≠ best order Especially when it comes to U.C. Gundam. 0079 is pretty damn intimidating for a newcomer, so I never recommend it as a start

[@muskaart1136]

@@Viseak How do you think people got into Gundam before 2015? If someone wants to get into Gundam they're going to have to watch a 40+ episode anime at some point.

[@rondobrondo]

@@Viseak yeah release order might not be best order but a pseudo chronological order is definitely not the best either

[@MrDarksol]

But I'm already a fan of gundam and I've seen most of these before. While I do have a bit of a personal pet peeve about certain franchises them being how Iron blooded orphans I only like the 1st season my friends can vouch for me on that especially considering what we know about the writing process of it including season 2, F 91 should have been a series, After war gundam X should have had more than just a couple more episodes and then be given a chance to have an English dub, and I prefer Build fighters over Try, Divers and Re Rise, I do still enjoy the franchise a lot especially since I went and got a couple of model kits over the years. And Hey it's the same series that gave us G gundam, solid snake voicing a character in 0080 and Top gun with Gundams so it is still a lit series lol.

[@Viseak]

To be honest I still have heaps to catch up on, I just binged the UC timeline in the last week or so haha And I agree F 91 deserved a full series, it was a great ride to say the least. I think next on my list to watch will be either Iron Blooded Orphans or G Gundam tbh. In terms of the kits I’ve always been more of a Zoids guy, but after properly watching Gundam I’m considering the dive into Gunpla

[@MrDarksol]

@@Viseak Well if you want to get into Gunpla then it's best to start with High Grade and then work your way up. Or be like me and just stick to HG lol.

[@Viseak]

@@MrDarksol I’ve heard Zoid HMM’s are roughly equivalent to an MG, so honestly, I was considering going for an MG, RG or even potentially a PG At the moment I’m leaning towards grabbing an RG Sazabi and Nu Gundam tho

[@MrDarksol]

@@Viseak Then you should go for it if you can.

[@Viseak]

@@MrDarksol yeah the troubles finding them in stock hahaha Maybe one day

[@alooferpk]

I'm a little speechless, I came here exactly for what the video advertised and I got it lol Uhhh guess I'll go watch Gundam now 😂

[@Viseak]

Massive W bro, love to hear it Go off and enjoy the fuck outta Gundam 🫶🏼

[@theMadZakuPilot]

thanks bro.

[@the_Pleiades]

Origin is just fan service for Gundam boomers. 0080 and 08th ms team are a better introduction to Universal Century. Having said that, I would tell them to watch the Gundam in release order until Turn A, no matter what beginners say. This is because the 80's and 90's were the golden age of Gundam, and Turn A is the culmination of that. The Gundam franchise for me ended perfectly with Turn A. I don't really like anything after the 2000s. 00 and Thunderbolt were good, but I didn't enjoy the rest as much.

[@Sailed_away]

Nah , I started with Witch from Mercury , then Iron blooded orphans. Then unicorn and thunderbolt. I wanted to know the original timeline. So I watched Origins at recommendation of him and then watched the movie trilogy. I can say for frist timers this is THE best point to start.

[@boulder5540]

Oh good lord. Watching Origin first is like watching Batman Begins before Batman 2022. It's a different universe, things don't line up. Origin Char is just not the same guy as main canon Char. Not to mention, you're not supposed to know the events in the Origin OVAs first anyway, they're literally set in the middle of manga.

[@TheHolyDishwater]

Bro, we just have like 30% of the shows on german crunchyroll like wtf D:

[@rondobrondo]

Also, you forgot Turn A Gundam , which is technically the last series of the UC timeline and is arguably the best or one of the best shows in the franchise (Yes I know it is “correct century” which is meant to be a collation of all other timelines)

[@Cgyn]

Thanks

Bro..... just thanks
