I really should get into Gundam.
After watching Gunbuster for the very first time last month (good God, that final scene...), I realized...maybe I should give the entire giant robot genre a second chance.
Mobile Suit Gundam (Gundam 0079) has aged well. Start there. The compilation movies are good if you don't feel like diving into the whole series.
That's exactly where I was going to start, the 1979 original.
