Getting up to speed with Gundam (lemmy.world)

As a big fan of the Gainax and Khara teams, I'm looking forward to checking out the new Gundam Gquuuuuux. And so, in preparation I've decided to watch some other Gundam stuff, starting with Mobile Suit Gundam (0079) which I've just finished.

So my question for the fediverse today is: having just watched the original MSG '79, what do you recommend I check out next?

Should I just go chronologically? Jump between the "best" ones? Get a sample of series from the different timelines/continuities? What do you all think?

Hello, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior G Gundam?

Seriously though, it's one of my favorite ones and can be watched at any time. It's kind of like if Gundam was a saturday morning cartoon. I think if you watch the first episode you'll have a pretty good idea if it's for you.

I had the opposite experience. I watched the first ~5 eps and had to put it down. Was not digging the format. I eventually picked it back up and it finally grabbed me. Years later, I had to convince my spouse to sit through the beginning too lol. But by the end she was loving it.
