I'm watching that new Netflix special MSG: Hathaway because I threw it on after work one night and immediately fell in love.
What should I watch next? I know people like Iron Blooded Orphans, is that a good option? Or should I go way back?
I would love to understand some of the lore/context of the MSG universe
If shonen tournament anime isn't your cup of tea you could skip G-Gundam. Victory is contentious because it seems like people either love it or hate it, I loved it, I think it's the best show in the series. X got canceled early and I can totally see why, imo it's a half-assed show that doesn't seem to really have a cohesive world and world building like the other shows have. Wing and Endless Waltz is another love it or hate it show. And ZZ Gundam has a very goofy first half. Anyway that's as far as I got.
ZZ has the series' lowest lows and highest highs. There is very little middleground.
As someone who gave up on it once, i encourage you to give it another chance.
Don't worry I finished it, it was great! The second half really picks up and gets interesting but I can see why people would be turned off in the first half.
Was X the one with the little chibi Gundams? That show is like literally the reason I haven't started Gundam till now. I remember seeing ads for it and thinking it looked like shit, even though I was like 10 at the time.
No that's SD Gundam, which I've never seen. X is After War: Gundam X: https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/After_War_Gundam_X
