Holy shit there's a lot of these things. I thought there were only like a handful.

If you want a good one Try something from the Main Timeline (Universal Century)


Hey Ian, How's 'War in the Pocket' or '8th MS Team' as a starting point?
Or would the movie path be Better (Gundam Trillogy, Zeta Trillogy, CCA, and Unicorn)

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Have you never watched cartoons as a kid?
Sure did but anime has a very significant adult following as well and quite clearly targets older audiences too with visible blood, adult themes, sexual stuff and so on. Obviously you can't put them all in the same category but cartoons like SpongeBob are obviously not meant for the same audience as many animes.
I get it and it was a hurdle for me back in the day but i dont think its mutually exclusive

If you cant get over the cultural difference youll never tolerate the majority of anime

08th MS Team is pretty good considering it takes place around the same time as the original MSG but if you're going to watch the other stuff like Zeta, 0083, or Unicorn it's better to watch the original since that's where most of the integral cast are introduced. The UC is episodic with it's shows so a lot of the shows rely heavily on what was established in the previous series (ie people aren't going to get the Titans in Zeta if they didn't watch 0083).

even evangelion, i would be damned if you gave it over 5 out of 10 because despite its serious content matter, the way its delivered would miss its mark on you

Yeah, that's why the second idea I dad was the two Movie Trilogies of MSG and Zeta as well as CCA and Unicorn

In the past I would tell people to watch the director's cuts of 21-24 and then watch End of Eva before 25 & 26 but I found that people were too confused by this. The DC of 21-24 are longer so I should expect people with common sense to seek those episodes if they were on a side by side choice with their On Air versions, although I don't know what versions of NGE people are watching, the show has had an extraordinarily tedious overseas release and it doesn't help the issue that both Gainax and Khara liked making their home media releases in Japan alone confusing (ie Death in Death & Rebirth has like three different versions called Death, Death (True), and Death (True)^2).

As with End Of Eva, it's ultimately the same ending as 25 & 26 told from a different lens. Originally I told people to watch End Of Eva first because the next time preview at the end of the director's cut for 24 shows storyboard scenes from the first half of End Of Eva. However as I said before about 25 & 26 and End Of Eva being the same, there's really no point in not watching it in release order and being able to put the pieces together yourself.

I have both movie trilogies on DVD boxed somewhere but I don't really recommend either of them. Zeta is much worse but both cut a lot of content and will leave you confused if you don't already know the basic outline.

1)Oh no, it's one of these shows where the leads (in a full blown war) are just high school kids. Great.

2)Random segment in the middle where girl spins around blowing bubbles at brightly colored ball creatures in the air. Why?

3) (but stop reusing shots and just panning over stills, please).


1) Child Solders is actuallt one of the staples of Gundam, this show just does it exeptionaly poorly and in the most generic way possible.

2) I DARE you to watch the English dub when these fuckers show up.

3)
Spoiler
They don't

That was it, but if you have Netflix they have it released on there. granted I'm not a fan of Netflix's release it's the only current official release where you don't have to go to shady websites to watch.

This is it right?

i feel like before you watch eva though, you have to understand that it's not really just a mecha show

without spoiling anything, the show actually has a lot to say about anime itself and the people who watch it

it's a show that requires you to be a little bit charitable, otherwise it's going to be VERY easy for you to pick it apart

i'm only saying this because i wish someone had said it to me before the first time i watched it

oh, you also have to watch the whole fucking thing (unless you just REALLY hate it for whatever reason)

even if you slightly like anything about it, i encourage you to continue

it's not that long either, so it's not a big deal

Oh no
It said it was Evangelion but it was actually Gundam, lol. I think I found one that works now though.

https://www3.123movies.la/serie/neon-genesis-evangelion-5yke5ry/s1/watching.html

Let me know if that's the right one.
this link directs me to the last episode, but other than that, looks good to me

just make sure you're on the right one

Stop throwing in random English words. I get this is supposed to be cool or something in Japan, but ugh. Just please don't.
