I started with the Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Trilogy which I enjoyed a lot.

And I was told to watch these series in order next

  • Zeta Gundam
  • Double Zeta Gundam
  • Char's Counter Attack
  • Hathaway's Flash Part 1

Looks like a good start! Honestly, my biggest suggestion for people getting into Gundam is just to watch whatever UC content seems interesting to you and let curiosity take you from there.

I think my only “hot take” might be that in my opinion, people should watch a good chunk of UC before moving to AU content. My reasoning is that you’ll get a lot more out of AU content when it’s viewed through the metatextual context of UC.

Especially when X and Turn A are basically big meta-commentaries.

I'd say the only AU to really rely on anything after Char's Counterattack is Gundam AGE, and the best thing I can say about that series is that it tried to introduce some stuff that resembles Hathaway and Crossbone.
