This is the official UC Gundam watch order. Remember to skip ZZ.
>>23666809>Remember to skip ZZ.Only homosexuals do that
>/m/: "We're true mecha fans, we stuck with ZZ until it finally got good (read: passable) 30 episodes in! If you skip ZZ you're a faggot and not a real fan">Japanese fans and even fucking Sunrise: "Yeah go ahead and skip ZZ, get the plot from G Gen or SRW if you have to"
>>23666809Stupid retard.
>>23666828Wait a minute, the stupid retards here told me that watching 0083 before Zeta was the wrong order.
>>23666815https://x.com/gundam_hathaway/status/1996824866415063539Sure buddy, no Japanese eyebrows raised at it.
>>23666811Hello, twitter user.
>>23666870Correct
>>23666809the zeta movies are for secondaries who want happy endings
>>23666809Also remember to skip unicorn!
>>23666809>>23666828Both are official, so both can be true. Blue just the Essentials list to get new viewers up to speed, and Magenta is the Recommended + Optional list for those interested enough to go deeper.In other words, get rekt movie haters. The movies are good enough for aspiring UC fans.
>>23666809>Zeta movies instead of the TV showLmao no
The real reason that they don't recommend Double Zeta is because everyone will be sitting their watching Hathaway and thinking to themselves "I wonder how Judau is doing right now, would be cool to watch his shenanigans around Jupiter, can we get Crossbow soon Judau shows up there, I wonder if we could get a Victory Outside Story OVA one day, that would be cool." We can't have best UC protag upstaging Bright's most pathetic child.
>>23667270TV Zeta lost.It hasn't been canon for years and got replaced fully by the movies.
>>23666809I think it's a good opportunity for Banrise to make Beltorchika's Children anime as a sequel to Zeta compilation films timeline
>>23666809Based, ZZ is dogshit
>>23666809>Official skip ZZBased...wait a minute>Watch Zeta New Translation instead!Ew...disgusting Japanese watch list. I guess its all to get people to watch Hathaway so its no wonder its soulless.
Not exactly on topic, but anyone get the feeling Bandai Namco seems to not want anything to do with ZZ at all? Between it not shown in that timeline by OP and ZZ not used in an Super Robot Wars game yet again, I'm not convinced of the opposite of how BN is treating ZZ.
>>23666809Looks like an alternate UC timeline.
>>23667444they approved Moon and Unicorn, which were written by Fukui, who is being propped up as the main guy of post-CCA UC and he loves ZZ.
>>23667452My apologes for sounding like a doomsayer. I guess it's just the timing of all of this that got me spooked.
>>23667444ZZ was always the odd one out of the OG Gundam content.People love MSG, Zeta and CCA but ZZ is always left out.
>>23667444ZZ is on par with Victory in popularity.
>>23667444I mean, they pushed it really hard like it were on the level of MSG and Zeta for decades, but the popularity was never there. It makes sense they'd eventually move on from that farce.It's not like they're hiding ZZ or anything. It still gets plenty of related content. They just aren't treating it like a super popular obligatory view show.
I love ZZ specifically because it upsets boomers so much
>>23667250If it was really just to get normies caught up on "the zeitgeist" so they could join "the conversation" then there's no reason to include the Zeta movies because they have no impact on CCA or Hathway.
>>23667653Tomino himself has said that while A New Translation doesn't lead into ZZ, it does lead into CCA.
>>23667452Honestly I don’t think Fukui even likes ZZ *the show*, I think he’s only interested in what ZZ provides *to the lore*. Because Unicorn, Narrative or Moon don’t feel anything like ZZ whatsoever, and he even tried to retcon Kamille’s ending in ZZ in Moon.
Major you miss out on if you skip ZZ specifically>The introduction of Judau Ashita (to explain his later exploits as Grey Stoke in late UC)>The death of Haman Karn, the defeat of Axis-Zeon and why Axis is being traded to Char>The origin of Merida Cruz/Ple-12Inconsequential you miss out on if you skip ZZ specifically>The introduction of the Nahel Argama>The death of Hayato Kobayashi>The origin of the Silver Bullet with the Doven Wolf>The Colony Drop on Dublin>The destruction of the Zeta Gundam and Gundam Mk.II>Kamille's recovery from Sirocco's attack
>>23668619>The introduction of Judau Ashita (to explain his later exploits as Grey Stoke in late UC)Anybody considering skipping ZZ is never EVER going to read not only Crossbone, but all the weird Crossbone sequels>The death of Haman Karn, the defeat of Axis-Zeon and why Axis is being traded to CharCCA explains it well enough>The origin of Merida Cruz/Ple-12A plothole if you watch ZZ, her accelerated growth should make her elderly by the time of Unicorn>Kamille's recovery from Sirocco's attackHe never canonically appears again so that's not much of a loss
>>23668620>The death of Haman Karn, the defeat of Axis-Zeon and why Axis is being traded to Char>CCA explains it well enoughCCA doesn't explain shit about Haman or Axis Zeon beyond mentioning the fact they existed.
>>23668621Yeah, well enough. It's probably for the best that the viewer doesn't know that everybody in Neo Zeon was retareded and Haman spent the entire war simping for a teenage boy instead of doing anything productive
>>23668620>He never canonically appears again so that's not much of a lossSo Pullitzer isn't canon? Most people treat it as if it is.
>>23666809It’s for the movies so people could catch up to Hathaway’s Flash much quicker since going through the TV series takes time, they’re not outright saying in general to skip them, the fact that UNICORN is absent proves that
>>23668675Right, sorry, I forgot he has a non-speaking appearance where you only see the back of his head.
>>23668620>A plothole if you watch ZZ, her accelerated growth should make her elderly by the time of UnicornZZ doesn't say anything about the growth rate of the clones
