I've been playing some Super Robot Wars GC lately. You can capture enemy units, which is pretty neat.

Out and about.
I went outside, where it was cold and rainy, because I’m a dumbass.
(Let’s also pretend that this is a build kit post, as I haven’t been able to do much with finals recently, but I had this laying around and I felt weird not posting for so long so here it is.)

List of Gundam’s I’ve watched so far, least favorite to favorite (warning, may be controversial? idk)
Stardust Memory - I’m going to be honest, I watched this one but did not super follow it. Maybe I should try again, it just didn’t feel that interesting to me for some reason. Like it was a short series, and I didn’t get attached enough to the characters in that short time, and it is only really setting up stuff from Zeta Gundam that I already knew about so I didn’t particularly care about it. idk
ZZ Gundam - I’m currently halfway through this one, and it is growing on me, but the front half is silly in a not fun way for me. Feels aimed at a markedly younger audience then Zeta, which maybe it was but its losing me for that. Also the lack of a dub means I can’t really work on Gunpla/play videogames while watching which makes it less engaging for my ADHD. I think the reuse of Zeta suits with entirely new characters feels a bit like a cheap reboot. My understanding is that like, Char and a lot of the other cast was meant to return but because Char’s Counterattack got approval all of the characters/actors got saved for that project, so we ended up with a new cast for ZZ, but I’m just not feeling them/their stories feel like childlike rehashes of previous stuff largely.
Mobile Suit Gundam - The original gundam feels like the baseline. I enjoyed it, I know conceptually it had more going on then just a children’s show about robots fighting, but it didn’t really hook me properly. I ended up caring about its cast more when watching other stuff with them in it then when I watched MSG. Wasn’t bad by any means, but just the absolute neutral of mecha experiences imo.
8th MS Team - I liked it. Felt decidedly more adult then the mainline series, wasn’t my favorite cast of characters but it was fun and interesting at the same time.
Zeta Gundam - I found it more compelling then MSG on the individual character basis, but I think its overall message stumbled in a few places and dove headfirst into misogyny in others. Despite that and some repetitive storylines with Cybernewtypes, I found I ended up liking the cast of Zeta a whole lot, and I definitely thought the look of the suits in Zeta were an improvement over the originals. Zeta itself was not my favorite, but the MK II, Hyaku Shiki, and many of the other suits were super cool.
Gundam The Origin - Beautifully animated, wonderfully fleshes out the characters in a way that made them much more compelling to me then MSG did on its own.
Iron Blooded Orphans - Second series I watched, before any UC stuff. It was great, the mechs were cool, the story was compelling and at the surface scratched a lot of itches I look for in sci-fi in general, in many ways more so then any other Gundam series. The only reason it isn’t higher up is that the other series just connected with me more in ways I didn’t expect.
War in the Pocket - Loved it, a smaller, microscopic view of war and its horrors, while also having some cool robot action. I loved the Alex, I def want its MG.
00 Gundam - It was the first gundam series I watched, and got me back into mecha after not really watching much anime at all since highschool. The suits are cool, the characters and story arc compelling. I do need to do a rewatch though, as my opinion of it may be more about how cool it was after not watching anything like it in awhile and how much was its actual quality, but I do think it was pretty great.
Gundam Thunderbolt - The perfect combination of flashy animation, compelling characters, and cool suits. Full Armor Gundam is my favorite UC suit so far.
Honorable Mention: Witch from Mercury I’m not even done with whats out yet, and half of it hasn’t been released, but I’m loving it so far. The designs are amazing, the characters compelling, but there isn’t a ton I could say about it that I haven’t said about other series already.

Back from my old AMV days. If only Handbrake and Adobe Premiere were so easy again. I love timing stuff to music

I’m loving the general aesthetic of the show so far. The look of these big chunky mechs trudging through dense foliage is really striking

I have been keeping myself sane between G-Witch episodes by watching some of the older Gundam anime! I've already watched all of the original Mobile Suit Gundam, as well as the 8th MS Team and War in the Pocket OVAs! I also watched the Gundam Thunderbolt OVA yesterday, but it was so garbage I'd rather just forget it exists... The others were great, though!
One of these days, I'll officially jump down the Gundam rabbit hole. Whether or not any of them will hold a candle to how much G-Witch has taken over my waking thoughts... I guess we'll see.

Since we are talking about mobile suits, most underrated Gundam show? I’d go with 8th MS Team.
I don't know how "underrated" they are, but compared to the mainstream series, I'll have to go Build Fighters and Build Fighters try. Both were amazing series, absolute fire unit designs, and some of my favorite openings (Back-on goated). Couldn't get into Divers though.
