Hah, variant!
I've watched the original series and enjoyed it. I know that there's a couple of more-or-less direct sequels, a few side stories, a few 'next generation' type stories in the same setting but later on and not particularly connected to the original, and then a whole bunch of alternate universes. Which shows/films are particularly good, and which are worth avoiding? --- The shattered stage is set and there's a role you must fulfil ... Copied to Clipboard!

What do you mean, original series? Mobile Suit Gundam? Gundam Wing?

If you've only seen the original Mobile Suit Gundam, the direct sequel to that is Zeta Gundam which is generally considered one of the best ones.
There are two OVAs that serve as side stories to that, War in the Pocket and 08th MS Team, and I would say they're both worth watching, but especially 08th MS Team which I thought was really great and probably the best Gundam series. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!

Universal Century timeline is MSG>Zeta>Double Zeta>Unicorn>Victory
Plus a hell of alot of side stories. Anything past 1995 or so is typically contained to it's own timeline, outside of random UC content --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Pretty much all of the universal century stuff is worth watching to some degree. Most of the alternate universe series are good too.
Definitely Zeta gundam, and 08th MS Team in the UC timeline for sure. It's been a long time since I've watched them, but Wing and 00 are some fun watches. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh man... where to start.
I guess I'll answer Pun's question first. Gundam has several universes. The "Main" one is UC (Universal Century.) The timeline of that goes The Origin Mobile Suit Gundam-Igloo Mobile Suit Gundam (0079) Mobile Suit Gundam MS08th team (Thunderbolt technically nonCanon but slots in here) War in the Pocket 0083 Stardust Memory Zeta Double Zeta Char's Counterattack (Beltorchika's Children) Unicorn F91 (This 0123) Crossbone Manga (Basically the F91 sequel) Victory Gundam (This is 0153 so like 74 years after the original MSG) There is some other stuff and side stories that slot in various places that I'm forgetting. The highlights are generally. MSG Recap movies, Zeta Gundam, CCA, Unicorn, Thunderbolt, MS08th, Stardust Memory, The Origin, Victory and War in the Pocket IMO. Most UC stuff tends to be very good. Altho they get very wordy and confusing sometimes if you missed something. Hathaway's Flash is coming pretty soon and that will be 0105 for where it fits in the timeline. Next Major universe is the CE (Cosmic Era) It's the Gundam Seed universe basically. Seed Stargazer Seed Astray Seed Destiny Is basically it. You can skip all but Seed IMO. Seed is really good. The rest is kinda eh. AD (Anno Domini) is the Gundam 00 timeline. It's pretty basic 00 00 season 2 00 A Wakening of the Trailblazer 00 is good. Season 2 is the same show basically. The Movie is not great but is very pretty. The last universal with multiple entries is AC (After Colony) it's the Gundam Wing universe. Wing (Glory of the losers is a manga retelling) Endless Waltz Frozen Teardrop Wing and Endless Waltz are good. Frozen Teardrop is a trainwreck. The rest I think are single entrants other than AGE's Universe has a couple different things. But they are honestly just the same story from other perspectives like "Memories of Eden" is just Age part 2 and the end of part 3 from Zeheart's PoV. As for what's good. Most of it is pretty good if your in the mood for it. I think the biggest general disappointments for me have been G-Reco, Narrative, Seed Destiny, the 3rd part of AGE, the 2nd half of IBO and ZZ in general. But I think a lot of people like those too. --- Whatever... ... Copied to Clipboard!

No. Origin is pretty new. It ran from like 2014? to like 2018?
it's like 6 OVAs. Each one is like 90+ minutes. Origin part 3 and 4 are amazing. The whole thing is pretty good. It's basically about Char Aznable and what made him the way he was. Starting from his childhood all the way to right before the original Mobile Suit Gundam happens. It's maybe one of my favorite Gundam Medias. It also doesn't really feature a single Gundam. --- Whatever... ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 can be watched either as the original tv series or through the 3 compilation movies
Zeta is the continuation ZZ is the continuation of Zeta Char's Counterattack (movie) is the end of the original timeline in the 80s Unicorn is the culmination of the above 4, it's probably the single greatest Gundam series ever animated --- 2 line break(s), 160 characters allowed ...

+1 for 08th MS Team and G. I also liked X well enough.
And Gundam Build Fighters might be the most charming entry but best to watch after going through most of the other series. It's in it's own world but there are tons of references and homages. --- If there is one thing I know, it is that I know nothing. ... Copied to Clipboard!
