Tell me about Gundam?

Aight, so I'm gonna kinda ramble a bit then. Hope you do not mind.

So Gundam is a well-known mecha anime franchise that aired in 1979. It was directed and created by Yoshiyuki Tomino, a director known for having bouts of depression while working on his series, often causing him to have series where a lot of the major cast dies and earning him the nickname "Kill 'em All Tomino". Thankfully, he's doing a lot better, and you can tell because his newer works are a lot more on the happy side.

Most of the entries in the franchise at first took place in the same universe in a timeline known as "Universal Century" where people live in space colonies. The main conflicts in Universal Century stem from the fact that people in space want to be independent from the Earth government and both sides do horrible things to get their goals. Also, there is a teenager who kind of falls into the cockpit of the giant mecha and ends up becoming a soldier and experiences the horrors of war. There are other themes depending on the series, but the main theme behind most of the Gundam franchise in general is "war is bad" and "those who refuse to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it".

The Universal Century timeline is mostly made up of works directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino himself, with exception of a few sidestories in that timeline. The only two non-UC works that Tomino directed are Gundam Reconguista in G and Turn A Gundam, but it's confirmed that these two series take place at the end of Universal Century and every other Gundam timeline.

Then at one point in the mid-90s, it was noted that the viewership of UC Gundam was dropping and because of that, they started making new series that took place in alternate universes and that has since become a staple of the franchise. The good thing about these alternate timelines is that you can pretty much start from here if you want without worrying about watching something else first like you would have to with UC. The following is a list of them:

Future Century (FC) from Mobile Fighter G Gundam and its related works

After Colony (AC) from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing and its related works

After War (AW) from After War Gundam X

Cosmic Era (CE) from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and its related works

Anno Domini (AD) from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and its related works. The fact that it takes place in the real-world timeline is what makes 00 special.

Post Disaster (PD) from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans

Ad Stella (AS) from Mobile Suit Gundam The Witch from Mercury

Then outside of that, there's a lot more other side Gundam works.

There's Gundam Build Fighters, which is more on the lighthearted side of things. I wouldn't really recommend it as a first-time watcher since it's a series that makes a lot of jokes and references to mainline Gundam works. While it's still worth a watch, I think it'd be a lot more enjoyable if you're already into Gundam. It's also pretty much a toy commercial for Gundam plastic model kits (gunpla) but it's a really good commercial. I also liked its sequel, Try, but the response varies from person to person.

In a similar vein is Gundam Build Divers. Do not watch it. Watch its sequel, Re:Rise instead. I heard Re:Rise is better.

-

Then there is the side work I am most interested in is SD Gundam. SD Gundam is short for "Super Deformed Gundam" and it's basically chibi Gundams. It originally started as a funny Gundam parody thing but grew into its own thing. There are multiple sub franchises in this franchise too, usually by putting its characters in different settings. Settings include the era of samurai, a Dragon Quest-inspired JRPG fantasy world, an American action movie, a time police squad, a bunch of cavemen, the world's loosest retelling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the world's loosest retelling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms again but modern day and with zombies, and there's more!

Most SD Gundam works are only in Japanese, and I had to translate a lot of the information to learn about the various franchises, but there are a few works that are in English. However, I think you're missing out on a lot if you focus on only the works that are readily available in English. (This is kind of why I started writing translation threads of the various manga works. I really should get back to that.)

But yee I think that's my thing about Gundam. I hope you enjoyed it and don't be afraid to ask me about anything else!

Okay, as someone who's only interaction with Gundam has been SD world and Great Battle, is there a good point to start with the "main" series? (Is there even a main series?)

Yes there is a main series… multiple technically.

The main core series is the “Universal Century” stuff, and here’s the chronological order for that (but legit you can KINDA start anywhere):

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin

Mobile Suit Gundam

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Movie Trilogy

Advent Of The Red Comet

The 08th MS Team

MS IGLOO

0080: War In The Pocket

Thunderbolt

0083: Stardust Memory

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation

Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ

Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn

Mobile Suit Gundam Twilight Axis

Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative

Gundam Hathaway

Mobile Suit Gundam: F91

Victory Gundam

Then there’s “Mars Century”:

Gundam Wing

Operation Meteor

Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz

Cosmic Era:

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73: STARGAZER

Anno Domini:

Mobile Suit Gundam 00

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 The Movie -A wakening of the Trailblazer

And Advanced Generation:

Mobile Suit Gundam AGE

Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: Memory of Eden

All of these are more “main series”, and are put into chronological order under their banner names.

For funsies, here’s the release order of the more “mainline” style titles… and also G Gundam because I love it.

GN-0000DVR/II Gundam 00 Diver Arc

Let's continue our very unneeded and out-of-date deconstruction of Build Metaverse with looking at how the show handled Build Divers. As far as characters go, it probably did the best overall job, with four of the six main cast members returning, as well as Magee. We also get to see them interact with each other, and not just Rio or characters from other seasons. Having both Riku and Ayame get new Gunpla is also a big bonus.

Though I am not without complaints, as this is another instance where they put the original character designs over the updated ones, and it's even more egregious here because those aged up versions of those characters interacted directly with the Re:Rise cast and had decent screen time, unlike Sei who was only ever hinted at. It's pushing nostalgia for something that's not even 5 years old.

The Kit: The kit is mostly the 00 Diver again with a few new pieces, though unlike the Shin Burning, it's a bit more hit or miss. The GN Drives are probably the best we've ever gotten on a High Grade, with the full wing units capable of a ton of poses and gimmicks, and the Drives themselves being multi-layered and capable of opening and closing. They also use metallic stickers for the GN Particle effect.

But things like the chest and horns aren't as great, feeling loose in places. It's the first time since the Seltsam that I've had to glue something to keep it in place. And I understand why they chose to redo the Diver instead of the Sky, since we recently got the 00 Sky Moebius, but it's weird that Riku is the only character to not get his ultimate unit upgraded.

The Details: Apart from the usual panel lining and black fill, I used metallic green underneath the translucent green elements, similar to what I did with the Shin Burning. I also used metallic blue on the eyes, cameras, and a few other places like the feet and elbows.

And, as I mentioned, the chest would not hold together, so I had to use a dab of glue to hold it in place.

Overall, while the tolerance issues were a bummer, I can definitely see myself buying multiples of this kit in the future just for those GN Drives. They're that good. Apart from all that, it's a decent kit with a lot of non-intrusive gimmicks. So I'd say it's a good grab, but be aware of its issues.

new gundam build divers series set in a vrmmo like re:rise but every player starts out with gwitch exclusive grunt suits like the gundvolva or the lfrith pre-production model that they can upgrade and customize the more wins they have under their belts

every mobile suit shown so far would be gwitch suits, with the rare few "ace" gundams that resemble suits from other AUs but still following design philosophies with gwitch

in-game missions would be either simple swarming on an objective to destroy it or more involved squad-based missions where tactics and communication matter

the protagonist for this would be an antisocial teen girl who'd recently isolated herself after a chain of bad experiences in school and wants nothing but to escape from the world by immersing herself in gaming.

she's played long enough that she managed to upgrade the default gundvolva into something that works for her, a few tweaks to enhance it's performance and a modular load out that she wouldn't miss if her suit is ever destroyed (since you'd have to buy the gear over again if it's lost)

in a squad-based mission with her nextdoor neighbor and childhood friend (also a girl) and a few randos, they run into what the community refers to as the "Game Over Boss": a gundam that randomly appears and uses multiple GundBits to overwhelm any opposition. Let's call this the Aerial Revive

naturally, the party TPKs, but the protag holds her own on enough that the Aerial Revive stands over her fallen mobile suit. the shell units on the Revive turn blue and the protag is suddenly facing a red haired child

it's Eri

surprise, this is a gwitch sequel
