i have many questions about things i don't know was explained or not in this gundam anime

when does this even take place

why or how did gundams become something that kills their pilot by them just using it. it's like this is simultaneously before gundam and like way in the future? i don't understand

Nearly every gundam after like, idk, 2000, has been a standalone universe completely unrelated to all the other ones. The exception being unicorn. The gundams before that are part of the UC timeline and are all connected and include gundam, war in the pocket, zeta, victory, unicorn, char's counterattack, ms 8th team, etc.

After that though you have wing, seed, 00, age, iron blooded orphans, reconquista, and turn a. Probably some I forgot. They all exist in their own unrelated universes. Gundam witch is similarly standalone. There is an episode 0 if you didn't watch it which is a prequel to the story and useful and informative.

In gundam witch, there is a brain interface system called the GUND format. It uses an energy system mined from other planets like mercury called permet. Mobile suits that use the GUND format for control are called GUND-ARMs (often shortened to gundam) and offer better response and control but it's damaging to the nervous system of the pilot, effectively overloading their nervous system. It was banned and the company researching it attacked and obliterated about 15-20 years before episode 1.
