If you dropped SEED, why do you care if it would spoiler you?

Because it's Gundam and I will force myself to pick it up again, someday.
Once I start learning Japanese and have some knowledge, I'm gonna play all the Super Robot Taisen games + I will play Gundam Musou at some point. I just won't be able to avoid watching it, regardless of the series' quality.
It will probably take some years but I don't mind that. Time passes by too fast anyway.

Gonna start with my Gundam UC "marathon" this week, I hope the chronological order is correct(not sure about 0080/Dai 08/MS IGLOO).

Kidou Senshi Gundam
Kidou Senshi Gundam I: Tokubetsu Hen
Kidou Senshi Gundam II: Ai Senshi Hen
Kidou Senshi Gundam III: Meguriai Sora Hen
Kidou Senshi Gundam 0080: Pocket no Naka no Sensou

Gao what did you expect? That stuff is pure fanservice, but you might as well watch a hentai for this. And does this stuff air on TV? I thought it was an OVA

08th MS Team takes place before 0080. I've never seen the Gundam Trilogy movies before, but it probably takes place somewhere sandwiched between 1 and to the end of 2? Miller's report does take place afterwards, though.

Also, you could put Turn A Gundam at the end of that, too, possibly, sorta :p. You are you really going to watch the compilation movies even though you are already planning on watching the series themselves?

Yeah, Dai 08 starts a bit earlier but they overlap and end at the same time. Wasn't sure whether 0080 is more connected to the original since it starts right after(?) it+it's older than Dai 08.

IIRC Gundam 0080 ends at roughly the same time the original series ends, while 08th MS Team ends a few months prior.

Gundam 0080 ends literally within the week the One Year War ends. The Battle at A Baoa Qu ended on New Years 0079.

Gundam 08th MS Team (not counting Miller's report) ends shortly after Operation Odessa, which was November. But the last half of the original Gundam happened alot faster than I thought, lol. Anyway, 08th MS Team definitely ended before 0080, which ended essentially at the same time as the original.


Turn A Gundam was Tomino's last Gundam show, where he essentially tried to tie all the Gundam shows into the same timeline, with Turn A Gundam happening at the end. Anything else I could say would be spoilers lol. Basically, if Turn A's timeline is to be believed, Turn A Gundam takes place after the end of Victory/any other Gundam show.

Weird, so AniDB's description is off then? I should have consulted a Gundam wiki...

Why not counting Miler's report? It says: "Miller's Report is a compilation of episodes 1-8 of the Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team OAV series, only with additional footage featuring a new character in the form of Alice Miller, a Federation intelligence officer investigating Ens." So it should cover the same timeline, right? I will definitely have to look those things up.

Aww, you edited that "Gundam" in So, shouldn't I wait with it until the end, then? Or is it because he is the director of the UC series?

Maybe I'm getting confused. The last episode of Gundam 08th MS Team was like "a year later" type thing, and was just an epilogue. So that last episode does indeed take place after 0080. When 08th MS Team aired in the US, it was split from the main show, and I always figured that's what was referred to as Miller's Report. I've never really considered that last episode to be the real last episode of the show, since its really quiet different, and episode 11 was a good enough last episode. I should clarify and say the plot of 08th MS Team ends before 0080.

I guess you could do Turn A after watching all the Gundams up to... Gundam X or Gundam Wing? I forget, which ever was the last AU before Turn A. But the ties Turn A has to the UC Gundams is ALOT stronger than the ties it has to the other ones, plus its the same director. The UC Gundam stuff is pretty obvious things when they come up. The other AU stuff aren't nearly as prevalent in the show, although they do show up.
