Off Topic but I finished my last exam today and I wanted to start watching Gundam. I wanted to know if you have any recommendations for which Gundam series I should start with first as someones who likes anime but has never watched Gundam.

I recommend the universal century, one year war movies to get you started: The mobile suit gundam movie trilogy followed by 0080: war in the pocket (a masterpiece of both storytelling and animation).

In fact, starting with 0080 war in the pocket isn't a bad idea given the self contained story.

From there, I'd check out 0083: Stardust memory and move on to the Zeta Gundam tv show.

Then, for a completely different experience, you can check out the alternate universe shows like Mobile Fighter G Gundam or After War Report Gundam X

Thank you, I will check those out.

If you want a super short intro to the series, _Gundam Thunderbolt_ is very good and self-contained. There's currently two hour-long OVAs that compile the first and second season. A third season and movie is planned, but it'll be a while before it's released.

Gundam Wing! It's not a huge commitment either - 50 episodes plus a couple movies.

Thank you for the recommendation.
