War is sad. 0080 is sad.
Gundam Alex comes from the Japanese pronunciation of "RX", from the original Gundam designation: RX-78-2.

That's kind of what I mean though. I heard Zeta kind of increased the ante for how dark the series can get...if 0080 is even more depressing, will it make Zeta seem less so in comparison?
More and more I'm thinking I might just do production order for early UC instead of chronological.

Well, I finished 0079 today. I actually really enjoyed the series. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it was super fun, had an interesting story, and it's really obvious how influential the series was. I really liked the parts where Amuro connected with his newtype powers and it got all 2001: A Space Odyssey with the colors and everything. It also reminded me of my favorite bits of Evangelion - it's nice to see where they (probably) came from.
As for watch order, I think I'm going to watch 0080 next, and then follow production order moving forward. I recommend sticking as close to production order as possible for both Star Wars and Metal Gear, with slight flexibility to move a few around, so I don't see why I should treat Gundam any differently.

Oh man, 0080 is probably my favorite entry in Early Timeline UC.
As for Late Timeline UC it's Crossbone. Though I did rather like F91 for what it was.

The entire Anime and Collectibles Section near the Books and Movies at my local Target has been slightly reorganized. More FUNKOs, Mandarin Spawn, Warhammer, Godzilla and Jet Jaguar have been added.
I went ahead and got the HGUC Char Zaku II in the photo for under $20. It's not a lot, but it's a step in the right direction. I'm kind of thinking this may be symptomatic of the Gundam Anniversary, the large Walking RX-78-2, and the Netflix Live-Action Movie News. |

Hopefully they weren't holding on them for a while because that would mean Bandai shipments are finally reaching stores.
