Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
Yeah I finished watching the original series and watched Char's Counterattack for the first time a few days ago. Glad I did since they're introducing alternate timeline stuff in Gquux.
I had a partial understanding of UC since 8th. MS Team is one of my all-time favorite series, but I hadn't actually seen the entire Amuro Ray story, only bits and pieces of it when it was on Toonami like 20 years ago. I've always preferred Gundam Wing, but that could be nostalgia talking.
Wing is one of those shows that sits better in the memory and conversation than on the screen imo. Endless Waltz fucking slaps, though.
If you like the aesthetics of Wing and want another "alternate UC" show, you should check out After War Gundam X. Zeta Gundam and ZZ Gundam might help give more context (for all of the franchise, really), but it stands alone better than GQuuuuuuX.
You should try Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket or Armor Hunter Mellowlink, or if you're looking for a longer show, Fang of the Sun Dougram or Armored Trooper Votoms.
After War Gundam X is one of my favorites, with how it critiques key aspects of the UC's newtype mythology.
I did like Gundam 00 a lot in its first season, but season 2 was merely "good" and the movie... was meh?
VOTOMS is amazing, I agree.
