Gundam Build Fighters

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.

Anime that just hit different. Certifiably fresh vibes.

Getting started with Gundam isn’t straightforward. The franchise spans multiple timelines, each with its own continuity, tone, and time commitment. It’s not just a matter of picking “the best” series—opinions vary widely, and the same show can be praised as a masterpiece or dismissed as one of the weakest entries.

The key is understanding how the different timelines connect (or don’t). Once you grasp that structure, choosing where to begin becomes much easier. This guide is designed to walk you through those options so you can decide what to watch based on your preferences and available time.

These are the anime that appear in Super Robot Wars X-Ω, a mobile phone game that is now defunct.
It's being split into multiple parts because there are so many.

The Classical Generic Mecha When Done Right Lead To Such Amazing Shows.

The original Mobile Suit Gundam was settled in a Continuity known as the Universal Century (UC), but in the 90's Sunrise decided to bring born to the Alternate Continuities into the franchise so they could make new Gundam animes withou being limited by what came before.

This offers new watchers the opportunity to meet the essence of Gundam without having to go through the long (and sometimes tedious) Universal Century.

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.

There's nothing more inspiring than watching passionate people set up goals and strive to achieve them, be it in sports, creative field, or life in general. The collection includes anime with mostly positive vibes that can help to get motivated yourself.
