A community for any and all things relating to Mobile Suit Gundam. Other giant robot series are welcome too!
Finally started watching my first Gundam series yesterday! Can I start building Gunpla now??
How much do I need to watch before I can start draining my wallet on fun plastic? πΈπΈπΈ
You don't need to have seen any of it to get into gunpla.
That said, you should watch the 3 movies that summarize the OG Mobile Suit Gundam, then Zeta Gundam, then Char's Counter Attack, just because they're all bangers.
I built Gunpla before I watched any of the anime. Mixed and matched mecha with other leftover weaponry. I just liked how the mecha look. People tell me things like, oh, they don't have beam weapons in IBO, etc, but I don't care. It's my build.
If you think the Origin is good, the later stuff is really gonna impress you.
My personal feelings on The Origin are a bit mixed. Char feels somewhat out of character, almost like LeLouch from Code Geass.
Bryce, baby girl, my sweet child, I want to give you so much flak for starting with The Origin.
jk it works just fine as a first series - Hope you enjoy!

I've been telling you Gundam was fantastic for a while you nerd.
