Anyone else noticing /m/ media is starting to be much less about the message and much more about cool robots and relationship drama? A lot of old /m/ stuff had that real message in which war fucks everyone up. Greed, all the human vices and power dynamics causes people to bring out the worst in each other. It's more sociological and psychological experimentation and deconstruction. Now it's just fanservice all the time. If someone dies, it's not war has caused a good person to die, it's because they were acting retarded, for shock value, for extra drama. Audience is more inclined for the oh will they reference this, will they reference that, will MC get with girl X or girl Y? It's like that one meme but it's almost no joke people are just watching for "oh wow cool robot" and it even feels like it's strictly designed that way by the creators now. I just feel like current /m/ creators doesn't have that experience or grit that helps portray an actual message and instead they just try to make something cool instead.

I'm pretty bad at articulating things so feel free to ask more if you don't understand what I'm trying to say.

>Everyone agrees you should start (always (nice typo loser)) start gundam in only two places
>Start with Zeta
who the fuck says that? if you're not starting with 0079 (ew) then there's really only several other entry points I the master of all anime would recommend.
If you just wanna dip your feet:
>G - I actually don't want to watch "Gundam" but I want something really fucking good like Medabots
>0080 - Best UC anything by far.
>Thunderbolt (mild disgust if you start with this though)
>really any of the AUs although SEED or 00 are probably the best "well rounded" ones.

My personal rules:
>Don't watch Turn A until you watched everything cumulative in release date. (fuck you)
>Don't see Zeta without fucking 0079 (also watch the series stupid fucker you're watching a 49 episode and you're planning on skipping 0079 by watching the movies? The fuck's wrong with you dumb bitch)
>Try to watch the other UC entries more on release/chronological order rather than jumping all over the place. 0083/08th MS Team are pretty standalone but Unishit/NT/Hathaway/Doan's Island (fuck you) all require previous knowledge sorta.
>Fuck you don't watch build fighters until you've seen all the gundam shows before it.
