Gundam Build Divers

Now, let's be real - as a franchise, Gundam is being perceived as this mess of close looking, but slightly different shows, and when you actually that they don't have direct continuity, being in separate timelines and all this, there's a high chance for the person to "NOPE" out of the topic.

But still, from person who has seen alot of what the Gundam franchise has to offer, it's safe to say not all timelines of this monster of a franchise are worth it, in fact, some of them are so thematically different, they're whole separate genres. So I'll try my best here to explain which show may be to whom's liking, since unlike the "main timeline" of the Universal Century, the alternative ones can be totally enjoyed as a separate things of their own. I do also believe that enjoying these timelines might pique your interest towards the main one as well, since more or less the themes of the Gundam shows does feel pretty close, despite the different timelines.

Getting started with Gundam can be tough because of the multiple timelines and the varying amount of time a viewer must invest to watch the show(s) depending on which timeline they choose to go with. Things are not as simple as picking which one is best; some fans will argue that a certain series is the greatest Gundam show, while other fans will argue for that same show being the worst of the franchise. Knowing how the shows interact with each other is the first step to figuring out what you want to watch, and this stack will help to guide you through that process.
