Kidou Senshi Gundam Thunderbolt: Bandit Flower

The "Scotland Loves Anime" film festival takes place annually in Glasgow and Edinburgh. It was started in 2010 and includes the "Golden Partridge" jury award and audience-voted awards.

The past winners of the Golden Partridge Award are as follows.

2016: Kimi no Na wa.
2017: Yoake Tsugeru Lu no Uta
2018: Penguin Highway
2019: Kimi to, Nami ni Noretara
2020: n/a

In 2017, the live action Tokyo Ghoul film had its UK premiere at SLA.

In 2019, Isora Iwakiri's film The Sacrament had its UK premiere at SLA.

In 2020, the festival was hosted online. It also included Penguin Highway, Production I.G.'s short film collection and Weathering With You.

This is a canonical watch order that is geared towards a first time viewer of Gundam. I myself experienced the series in this order, which preserves the canonical order, but mends it slightly to preserve watching experience and prevent burnout. Included will be double-ups of series, which means the TV and Compilation movie versions and/or OVAs. Most of those "rewatches" will come after a period of time, slid into the timeline in a way that prevents serious burn-out. Realistically you can swap around any of them for their relative compilation, but first will always come the "preferred" version.

There is nothing in this list I would call spoilers, but I do give some slight generalized opinions which may lead, or alter your own experiences. If you want to go in blind, just look at the show. The blurbs are there to decide if you aren't sure when you want to watch something, not to give you anything before you watch.

I will also be forced to keep a side list since the max number of items in a single list is 50. Until more Gundam content is released, it mostly has small 5-10 minute things that don't really add to the canon in anyway. However, Gundam is approaching a point where if 2-3 more series release this list will get tight. Here is a link to that list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/12271

I want to clarify that I am not some super Gundam fan, and I began making this list from the beginning of my watching experience. It thus offers a glimpse into what watching Gundam in 2022 should be like for the open-minded, anime history inclined weeb. If you know nothing (or very little) about Gundam this is the perfect place to start in order to grind out the main Universal Century timeline.

If you have any questions (or suggestions to improve since I'm not a hardcore Gundam fan) please feel free to message me.

just from some quick research. almost certainly incomplete.

Gundam anime I've watched that is worth your time. Arranged mostly in production order.

The Universal Century (UC) is the original continuity in the Gundam multiverse (yes, it's a multiverse). This is for all those people that doesn't know how to start because of the BIG amount of titles.
Sorry if there is a grammar mistake, my writing in english is not the best.

UC MS Gundam watch order by Conflict Order in the canonical timeline. I will be updating the battles covered in each listing eventually as I get caught up.

2/4/24 Update: Still working on a lot of the timeline dates for this, so please check back later for revisions and added information and material.

The school chime that is everywhere
(This is only a list of series I've seen/remember since the stack creation date. It's likely less than 0.1% of anime that have it.)

Kao no nai Tsuki - ep1 1:30

Useless stacks are my passion :^)

Anime featuring mainly traditionally animated, hand drawn robots made between the year 2010 and now. As by this point in time, they had become a rarity in favor of CGI robots, I think this list would be really helpful.

Note: the Gundam Build shows get excluded because those are plastic models, not robots.

This is my guide to the Gundam mega-franchise, including all major entries in release order, not including some spinoff series like the build and SD Gundam series.
