As most of the people on Steam know I am a huge Mobile Suit Gundam fanboy. I can understand it may be hard and difficult to jump into this legendary franchise so I am writing this list to recommend where to start.

Gundam anime and their plot revolve around "timelines" for example the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime follows the U.C (Universal Century) timeline as well as quite a few other Gundam anime.
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 follows our own timeline A.D (Anno Domini) and Mobile Suit Gundam Wing follows A.C timeline (After Colony) just to name a few.

The point is, that you can watch ANY Gundam anime you want that has its own original timeline and not be confused plot wise. With the exception of the U.C Universal century timeline. You may get confused which is why I am writing this list.

Recommended viewing list is for U.C Gundam anime so it will not be confusing to watch.

I personally recommend starting with U.C Gundam anime. They're the best.



U.C Universal Century

- Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin: Chronicle of Char and Sayla

- Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin: Chronicle of The Loum Battlefield.

- Mobile Suit Gundam (original series 1979)

- Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt - December Sky

- Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt - Bandit Flower

- Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS Team

- Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 War In The Pocket

- Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory

- Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (My personal favorite Gundam series of all time!)

- Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ

- Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack

- Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn

- Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative

- Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway

- Mobile Suit Gundam F91

- Mobile Suit Victory Gundam

That's it for U.C Universal Century Mobile Suit Gundam. I know its lots of anime to watch but its totally worth it for this incredible legendary anime franchise.




Now for the original timeline Mobile Suit Gundam shows. You CAN watch this in any order you want. I am going to list it in the order of my personal favorites.

I highly recommend for new comers of Mobile Suit Gundam to start with the first two I mention.


- Mobile Suit Gundam 00

- Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans

- Mobile Suit Gundam Wing

- Mobile Suit Gundam The Witch From Mercury


- more original timeline Gundam anime than the 4 mentioned. I will add them to my list eventually.
