Also the original continuity is kind of a fucking mess, and I don't recommend it outside of a handful of specific stories (08th MS Team). In the first twenty seconds they introduce the idea that half of humanity got wiped out in the opening stages of the war, but it's barely a background detail. How long ago did this war start for it to just be glossed over? Fifty years? A hundred? Two hundred?
Solid recommendation. That and 0080 would be mine. They're both self-contained, relatively grounded, and have some of the best characters and action sequences in the franchise.
Wow. Thanks for the heads up.

Nope, it was just a few months ago.
Thanks for the info

That was actually the first anime/manga I ever got into. My brother had it. Been meaning to get into it again
Three times!
