Japanese television has a knack for doing more with less, and Mobile Suit Gundam is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. An 8/10 rating means the audience agrees.
The world-building is meticulous, but it's the characters who carry Mobile Suit Gundam through the more ambitious episodes. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in the middle of a war? Teenager Amuro Ray sees his life shattered when war comes to his home. During the chaos, Amuro finds himself inside the mobile suit Gundam, the Earth Federation's new secret weapon, and he somehow gets it to work. Toru Furuya and Shuichi Ikeda lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 1979–1980.
Perfect for late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge. The kind of show that makes you feel the absence when it ends.
