- Is Kamille Bidan, Camille Vidan or Kamiru Bidan the correct name?

|
- I know nothing about Gundam!
- How can I start it?
| |
Watching the original Gundam is the best way to know more about the Gundam
world, because it was the first Gundam series that started the Gundam universe. Besides, Gundam Wing was a good choice for beginners too. Since it was a total different story that happened in another dimension, it required no background knowledge before you watch it.
|
- Do you think Zeta Gundam was the best Gundam TV series?
| |
Honestly, I think the original Gundam was the best Gundam TV series and Zeta Gundam is just the second best.
