ONE SENTENCE REVIEW FOR EVERY GUNDAM PROPERTY I HAVE EXPERIENCED
Like i said in a previous post, it’s basically everything that you can watch on a screen from 0079 up to IBO. A few manga here and there and one light novel.
NOTE: Don’t take this too seriously, most of these are meme answers. Most of my strong negativity is said in jest. (My positivity is genuine tho)
Starting with UC:
•0079
Absolute classic but i prefer The Origin manga
•Zeta
Well done dark tone but kinda boring at times
•ZZ
Fuck you, the goofball stuff was great and a welcome change of pace
•08th MS Team
Probably the best down-to-earth mecha war story ever
•0080: War in the Pocket
*weeps profusely*
•Sentinel
Really compelling with a great cast, plus the idea of “other ways to emulate being a newtype” is still kinda unexplored both at the time this was written and to this day
•0083: Stardust Memory
Pretty damn good all things considered
•IgLoo
Zudah was a cool idea, too bad the tallgeese did it first and everything else about the show is boring af
•IgLoo Apocalypse
The best of the IgLoo trilogy but still around a 6.5/10
•IgLoo 2
Shinigami are canon to the universal century, 0/10
•Thunderbolt
Amazing in almost every way, plus the most effective usage of a sociopathic fed vs a well meaning zeon
•Twilight Axis
Meh
•Char’s Counterattack
The Resurrection F of UC
•Unicorn
Best anime i’ve ever watched
•Narrative
I just like that Unicorn got a direct sequel goddamn it
•F91
I so badly wish this was a series and not a movie
•Crossbone
Completely validates my opinion on F91
•Victory
Phenomenal use of character death, and I remember nothing else
•Reconguista in G
My favorite anime that i cannot recommend to anyone else on earth
Now for pre-2000’s au timelines:
•G Fighter
You cannot get more funny-bad in the entire Gundam franchise, it’s awesome
•Wing
I didn’t get the hype, but i still had a great time at points
•Endless Waltz
Much better mecha, slightly cooler plot
•X
I’m so sad this was rushed bc it’s by far my fave 90’s Gundam
Post 2000’s au timelines:
•SEED
Very cool pseudo-shounen remake of 0079
•SEED Destiny
Something good almost could have happened here, but no
•SEED Astray/R
Love all these goobers, really good
•Astray X
Worst official localization for any manga i’ve ever read, but there was still some cool stuff
•SEED Stargazer
*weeps profusely, but in the Cosmic Era this time*
•00
Behind the fujoshi bait is one of the smartest and well done mecha stories this side of Code Geass
•00 Awakening of the Trailblazer
… why aliens?
•AGE
I know that it’s my fault but I couldn’t even bring myself to get past the first generation
•Iron Blooded Orphans
I have never cried this many times or this hard over anime characters dying
•Build Fighters
Legit a 5Ds tier Toy Battle anime
•Build Fighters Try
A bit generic but still palatable
•Build Divers
Didn’t go far enough
•Build Divers: Re;Rise
Went way too far in the best way possible
And if it wasn’t clear already, Unicorn is by far my favorite Gundam and favorite anime overall, while IgLoo 2 is both my least favorite Gundam and my least favorite anime i’ve ever seen.
