There's no realistic explanation for why someone would want a giant robot you can pilot in an actual war. Super robots are unironically more believable. They're usually made by mad scientists, created by alien races with different biology and ways of thinking, manifested out of some magical energy, or part of a setting so silly it's easier to suspend your disbelief than in a serious military series.

The in-universe explanation for mobile suits isn't the minovsky particles. It's because they wanted a system that could be launched from a spacecraft and then infiltrate a colony to fight in close-quarters without destroying it.

Those shows depict robots that are designed by defense contractors waging an arms race between rival political bodies. They need maintenance and we see many scenes of them being repaired in hangars. The pilots are members of military organizations with a chain of command subject to the kinds of political pressures seen in IRL wars.

Super robot shows make the protagonist a 13-year-old kid whose grandfather spent the last 20 years building a robot in an underground bunker that's better than any other military technology ever created and he has to pilot it to fight aliens who send a new enemy robot to destroy Earth every week. The robot is more powerful the more pissed off the protagonist gets and never needs repairs or fuel. Every fight ends with the MC using an ultimate attack to blow up the enemy robot.

Mazinger Z is hands-down my favourite show, despite it being an episodic cartoon from the 70s. It remembers its continuity and respects the viewer enough that it never feels like an early and meaningless toy commercial. Koji fucks around and Mazinger loses power on at least two occasions, sometimes things aren't fixed up enough for the next battle, sometimes the helper robots know they're going into an unwinnable fight but still need to buy some time. When Mazinger gets the flight module, the whole episode feels like a movie because flight's been a consistent issue for it, and everything leading up to it is so weighty.
>Mazinger consistently has problems against flying enemies, so Koji has to come up with creative ways like a rocket punch on a chain, or link related https://files.catbox.moe/szh9zj.jpg
>Dr Hell's not even fucking mad, pic related
>a later episode starts off with Dr Hell predicting that the lab will make a flight upgrade: it's an episode about the lab developing BLUEPRINTS for the module, they're destroyed but Prof Yumi memorized it
>takes a while before they actually build it, and iirc they're attacked before they could finish developing it, so it's a very heated last-minute deployment
It's a good show

Real robot is a subjective term. I would argue it means there is an in-universe explanation for their use.
>In 0079 the Zeon developed Mobile Suits to use AMBAC, and the compact fusion factor was used to power it. The result was something as fast as a fighter in space, but more nimble and heavily armed. Because the use of Minonsky reactors, the particles limited radar, and caused combat to be reduced to visual range.
I would also ad, they have to perform maintenance on the mobile suits, and most of them (minus the Gundam, unless you count the RGM-79 GM) are mass produced or limited production. There are super robot elements, but at least in universe, their use is grounded.

It would take an estimated over 1400 hours to watch all the Gundam series, which is equivalent to over two months of non-stop watching. The time varies depending on how many hours you watch per day, with some estimations suggesting 40 days if you watch for 8 hours a day, while watching 24/7 could take a couple of months.
Factors that affect watch time:
Number of series: There are over 50 TV series, films, and OVAs in the Gundam franchise, so the total watch time is extremely long.
Episode length: Episode lengths vary across the different series, from short OVAs to longer, more recent series.
Compilations: There are compilation films and special editions that can be longer than typical episodes.
How much you watch per day: Watching fewer hours a day will naturally extend the time it takes to complete all the series.

Getter I have to actually finish for myself, but I have high hopes. I liked watching it as a kid but I can't guarantee that it's Z tier, the bigger worry is whether it can live up to how insane the manga gets, the other Getter shows I've watched (Getter Robo Armageddon, New Getter Robo, Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo, which are all good) picks up more things from the manga and has a completely different tone than the Toei show, although it's not exactly a kiddie cakewalk just because it's a 70s kids' show either. Jeeg I know less but I liked the sequel/remake Kotetsushin Jeeg. Grendizer seems to be the peak out of the trilogy, but I can sometimes tell that the subs are completely wrong, so I'm waiting for better subs to be done. Great however... it's my favourite robot and pilot, but I'd be biased if I said there were zero weak episodes like I did with Z. There's retreads of episode premises but at least those are done creatively though.
I guess I should recommend Shin Mazinger, and the Shin Mazinger Zero manga as well. The latter deeply knows and loves Go Nagai and all his creations, you're all the more rewarded with even a passing knowledge of other works, whereas the Shin anime is a (sequel never ever) remake. They're both extremely good but Zero might be my favourite Mazinger story overall. It starts off like an edgefest but it's ultimately a hopeful and positive story. They're all good!!!

>Mazinkaiser, 7eps and a movie, the OVA rather concisely gives you what Mazinger feels like, Great and its cast are there too for some cool reason
>the movie might be its own continuity, it's a sad drag until Koji actually gets in Mazinkaiser, Great gets a good fight though (watch it for completion if you want but this is genuinely the one thing I'd be indifferent about recommending or rewatching)
>Infinity is the movie taking place after Z and Great but probably without Grendizer, was stretched out in SRW but rather harmless to actually watch, a lot of love went into it and the show, neat cameos and easter eggs, you're rewarded having gone into it from Z and Great
And for some "hey this is impressive for a 72 show" points (nothing wrong with 70s anime, Space Pirate Captain Harlock was like '78 and it was good)
>wikis or other third-hand information make Boss sound like an asshole bully friend who kidnapped the three professors into building a robot out of scraps because he's jealous of Mazinger
>but it's actually a very half-assed attempt and he's apologetic and sincere about this, this is a character who, despite being a bit of a coward, whose body language communicates that he's still trying to protect his friends even without a robot
>Sayaka finds out and encourages the professors to build him a robot willingly, they JUST want to help their friend Koji
>Aphrodite A is a "jobber" but characters eventually give it credit for the fact that it gets into fights earlier and gives us important info about the enemy
>the dinky pilot vehicle actually gives enemies a run for their money sometimes, there's arguably no "strongest attack" for Mazinger and various attacks or even melee win the day
I'm pretty sure picrel is the FIRST episode with Boss Borot, if you're ready to love the characters in Mazinger, you're well-rewarded

I hope you enjoy it as well! Maybe post about it on /m/ if you're done, otherwise I'll try to check the threads here in 92 weeks! And I do remember reading the manga, it's not like all the supporting characters die at the end, right? The show wasn't strong as Mazinger imo, a bit too episodic despite me having enjoyed 1966 Ultraman as well. I can't wait to get to the other shows though. I think there was even something out recently too, although I don't know if it's a manga or anime.

Yeah, the successor series are pretty good, with a general rule being that the earlier it is the better with the most recent being dogshit, as far as Cutey Honey is concerned
I imagine Mazinger is sort of the same way, but I saw the more recent Mazinger movie and I thought It was alright (although I will know for sure after watching the classic series)

I was already very sad when her friend died partway. And despite being horrible and ugly, the moustache teacher's actually consistently a friend, and even the teacher literally named after Hitler still has her moments when she's trying to help. I recall the former had a rather cheey "whoops, well here I go, bye" line at her death in the manga, but I was still bummed out by both of them dying.
>a general rule being that the earlier it is the better
That's great news
>with the most recent being dogshit
Wait what the fuck happened??
>Mazinger
We don't get Mazinger content that often, but I imagine every time something comes out, a lot of love goes into it. Aside from Grendizer U flopping fucking hard, it's been consistently good I think. Shin Mazinger you just have to be prepared for no sequel ever (although SRW gives continuations, albeit sometimes converging with Shin Mazinger Zero), but it would pretty much have been the plotpoints of OG Great with new twists and additions. If you already liked the harmless Mazinger movie, I feel you'd enjoy it a lot more after Z and Great. Ffs even the unnamed background scientists in Great show up, and even this dopy ass kikaiju in picrel shows up briefly, because it both had a memorable design and a rather important role in the show. It's a fun show! I love Mazinger!!!

Just NEETmax for a year or two to watch as much as you can while leaving parody shows, supplementals and subpar entries like SEED or Wing for last, to watch them slowly once you go back to having a job.
Save money instead of taking that shitty trip to Italy and stay at home, watching seven or eight episodes throughout the day.

Every time? Really? Man... but I guess Mazinger has something similar as well, there's a particular arc I saw first in Shin, then the original manga, and was surprised to see it in the Toei show as well. It's not the finale but it's fucking depressing.
Also, the Gosaku Ota manga for Great Mazinger's being translated by an anon, we only had Grendizer but he translated Z and is working through Great: it has shared continuity between the three, and we'll be getting rather unique arcs as well, so it's going to be worth the read!
>only watch Universe if you want to see what an unfun, unfunny trainwreck could be made of a great series
But it looks so well-drawn...
>we didn't get the OP
>all the writers were looking out for themselves
Is this one of those situations where it's better to watch it fucking unsubbed, because there's a few shows like that for me, and Gquuuuuux is one of them.
>its that consistent love for it that I look forward to seeing when I finally get to the later adaptations, being the first of many firsts I imagine people are not inclined to fuck around with it on any level
Every single appearance of Mazinger (maybe apart from the Mazinkaiser movie...) is such a treat, I'm even looking forward to Violence Jack at some point, where the "Mazinger" is some boy riding on top of the head of some black guy, and the design elements make him sorta look like Mazinger. But yeah, if you could handle Cutie Honey, Z gets creative around 5-10 episodes in, literally seeing it face and overcome struggles is something wonderful.

Mazinger existed before the whole real/super robot differentiation started at all. The difference between real and super is much more a question of aesthetics and tone surrounding the story rather than relative realism or worldbuilding or science fiction. Thats why Mazinger has to worry about maintenance and repairs while Nu-Gundam can have remote weapons based on new-age telepathy.

It's a slightly helpful but still slightly arbitrary distinction. I think it's closer to a super than a real one, but at least in the OG it doesn't really have anything as balls to the wall insane that other robots have. I mean, Mazinkaiser's definitely a super, but it was something originally made for literal Super Robot Wars.

For UC watch 0079 first, whatever it's a series or the movies, if you're gonna watch the movies then make sure to watch Dozzle's island movie too because the anime's episode was so badly animated that Tomino took it out from the episode count, I still liked it though, also the salt episode was silly fun, otherwise the movies are pretty solid.
Unlike the Zeta movies that were ass, there stick with the series, after Zeta you can decide whatever to go to ZZ or watch the Char's movie, I wouldn't recommend to go straight to ZZ because the tone shift might be too much, the Zeta ending is very depressing and then ZZ starts with wacky 80s comedy.
After the Char's movie you can watch whatever you want from UC, you can go back and watch the multiple OVA series that occur between 0079, some really popular ones are 008th team, Stardust Memories and War in the Pocket.
Also Unicorn is fucking ass and Victory feels at times like misery porn.
As far as alternate universes show go, you can watch whatever you want at any time so watch the OPs or look into the robots that appear there and pick the show that way, just don't watch SEED Destiny because it's a sequel to SEED.

Started Z yesterday, I like the improved visuals a lot and I really like that Kamille is not with the Federation Forces (for now I guess? I'd like it if it was a permanent thing).
Only thing I knew about Z prior to starting it was that clip of Kamille attacking Jerid in ep 1 that people really seem to like posting online, I also had the impression that Kamille would be a descendant of Amuro somehow but I guess it's not the case.
Very interested on how things will develop since newtypes are a thing from the beginning now, MSG took quite the shift in tone for me when Lalah started doing her newtype things and I thought it was awesome and kind of terrifying.
On a side note I hope Sayla appears at some point since she seems to be missing in the OP, sucks.

I'll watch Reconguista next after Victory but from I've heard about Turn A I kinda want to save it for last (although it seems their precise chronological relation to each other isn't clear). I'm going to be fairly loose with the AUs but it'll vaguely be in release order of each's first installment so I'll get to Turn A after Witch from Mercury.

Wing's plot is honestly pretty good but it's told in pretty chaotic pacing and you need to be able to fill in the blanks yourself as well as be able to accept the theatrical nature of the show and accept the characters for the dramatic roles they are.

Even with the writer change, Wing's story feeling chaotic seems intentional. The whole premise of 5 agents all unaware of each others existence causing a power shift, and each faction splitting into subfactions trying to take advantage of the situation to get ahead seems to be a key part of the story. The unsteady politics where alliances are constantly shifting was one of my favorite parts of Wing.
