Post MSG79? (lemm.ee)

I’m 8 episodes away from finishing MSG79, it’s taken me far too long (probably a few years of intermittent watching).

What would you recommend I check out next?

I know 08th MS team is highly recommended. I loved Witch from Mercury, admittedly I watched most of it on my honeymoon traveling Japan, so I might be biased. Also open to non-Gundam Mecha suggestions, I started The 86 and enjoyed the premise.

Gundam anime tend to be pretty good, so perhaps just read their synopses and pick the one that interests you the most

sounds like we will get along well

This thread has some amazing recommendations. I have compiled a list based on the responses in the thread as well as shows I've discovered.

A significant number of my favourite "Gundam" series are not Gundam. Here are some of them:

  • 86 - You've already picked it up
  • Lycoris Recoil - Most similar to Witch from Mercury IMO; no mech
  • Vinland Saga - Besides war, slavery is another major theme; no mech
  • Attack on Titan - It's as Gundam as it gets
