I wanted to know what order you would usually watch the Gundam shows/movies in?

EDIT: Meh. Seeing as how Nagisa went ahead and made another post anyway, please delete this one. Thank you.

I don't know how everyone personally watches them, but I do it in chronological order.
-Gundam 0079 -Gundam The Movies 1-3 -Gundam Zeta -Gundam ZZ -Char's Counterattack -Gundam 0080 -Gundam 0083 -Gundam V -G Gundam -08th MS Team -Gundam Wing -Endless Waltz -Gundam X -Turn-A Gundam -Gundam SEED |

Hard to say. As it stands, there are six Gundam timelines that have absolutely no relation to one another (well...short of the "Turn-A Bang" theory, but we won't get into that for the sake of simplicity). The Universal Century timeline is undoubtedly the largest, and even there an actual set order isn't really there (there's a "main story," accessory side stories, and some mostly unrelated stuff later in the timeline).
For the sake of saying so, I'm going to list the Gundam timelines and the chronological order with which the titles within those timelines take place (i.e. Mobile Suit Gundam is set in UC0079, Stardust Memory in UC0083, and Zeta in UC0087). Universal Century Mobile Suit Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: The War in the Pocket Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Mobild Suit Gundam ZZ Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack Mobile Suit Gundam F91 Mobile Suit Victory Gundam As stated, Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta, ZZ, & Char's Counterattack are the "main story" here; they focus mostly on the whole Amuro/Char and Zeon aspects of the story, and brings everything to a decidedly definitive conclusion on their own. They were also the first four Gundam anime produced, if memory serves (so I guess their being self-contained makes sense). F91 and Victory occur in the same timeline, but to my knowledge you do not really need to see everything before them to understand what's going on. 08th MS, 0080, & 0083 are supplements to the main story that flesh out the universe and bridge the gaps between series. You do not need to see these in order to grasp the rest of the timeline, and in a way these side stories are rather stand-alone in themselves. Future Century Mobile Suit G Gundam After Colony New MS Report Gundam Wing New MS Report Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz After War After War Gundam X Correct Century Turn-A Gundam Cosmic Era Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny The rest of these are self-explanatory. Completely self-contained, and where there are multiple anime, they're directly connected. |

*reads Nagisa's Gundam order post*
*head explodes!* I guess that's what happens when you have a ongoing series for 20+ years... |

Where do they have that? All I saw regarding the novels & manga was this big, messy list under the "Other Series" link that haphazardly mixed video games, manga, and role-playing supplements (or whatever the hell Plamo-kyo Shiro is). |

To summarize what's been said earlier in this thread: The UC series should be watched in chronological order of when they take place. That order is: Mobile Suit Gundam (43-ep. TV series later split into 3 movies), Gundam:The 08th MS Team (12-ep. OVA), Gundam 0080 (6-ep. OVA), Gundam 0083 (13-ep. OVA), Zeta Gundam (50-ep. TV), Gundam ZZ (47-ep. TV), Char's Counterattack (movie).
Also in the UC storyline but taking place far into the future are Gundam F91 (movie) and V Gundam (51-ep. TV). All other Gundam series are unconnected, except Gundam SEED and its new sequel Gundam SEED Destiny. Oh, and there's the abysmal Gundam Wing and its even worse spinoff OVA Endless Waltz. There are better Gundam series to watch, believe me. Stick with the U.C. timeline. |

I don't really remember how exactly to get there, but I remember stumbling upon a list of all of the stuff like that in order. If I remember how to get there I'll edit the post and put in the link. Edit: Ok I got it http://www.gundamofficial.com/features/faq_prod_info.html#order After you get there, click on something like "can you put all of these in cronological order" and it'll show you. And Vekou, I just want to know why you thought Wing sucked, I thought it was good. |

Heeeere's the windup . . . and the pitch
There was SO MANY Gundam shows, and everyone has their preferences. I like the ones where they concentrate more on the gritty aspect of war (08th MS Team) and the superhuman abilities of pilots are explained throughly (Gundam Seed, G Gundam). Not that I hate Wing, because I don't. However, I can't love it either though the music for the series and Endless Waltz was 'da BOMB . . . |
