How do I into Gundam. I missed yhe gravy train years aho, and now everytime I want to start it seems like too daunting. Probably more hours than something like Bleach, but with a chronology that seemingly makes 0 sense.

Just watch IBO at 1.5x speed.
The franchise peaks there.

While most would encourage you to watch 0079 first (the original) I am tempted to advise you to watch them in American Toonami release order. Gundam never would have gotten outside of Japan without Gundam Wing capturing our imaginations. The show is clunky as fuck but it still has a lot of things to say that are super relevant to the current political climate.

IBO is ass. What's good about it?
>hurr durr its violent
So are billions of other of pieces of media.
>MC uses a club instead of a energy saber
Doesn't make any difference for how combat scenes are portrayed.
>Its better than Gquuuuuux
Applies to 99% of anime ever made.

while it has good themes, my start was with OVAs like 0080 War in the Pocket

Wing then EW then Seed (skip Destiny except the songs) then move onto IBO.

Gaelio was a shithead and Bael would have creamed everyone if he wasn't there. They should have let Nagai cook and go full kill em all Tomino with the ending.

Okada was the lead writer. Her ending is better.

What I like about IBO is the physical sacrifice for power, different from mainline UC where aliens in space gain antennae and the reason for it all is newtype.

Too bad they never do much with this concept. The only characters it applies to, Mika and Vidar, don't even interact with each other.

You don't, it's an unapologetic toy commercial for the little boys genre that only mentally-ill autists believe is le deep.
Same with mahou shoujo, only it's little girls and trannies.
