You know... I'm gonna come out and be entirely honest.
I love Nena Trinity.
She's psychotic, but despite being a killing machine, she actually possessed a good personality in a Gundam series I'll admit I could care less about.
It actually bugs me when people talk about how much they hate her (both legitimately in canon and not) and that her death wasn't painful enough. I guess they wanted to see her Super Robot Taisen H2 death animated instead.

She murdered an entire family for ridiculously petty reasons and gave us the heart-wrenching scene where Saji brings Louise the rings he bought her. She had a painful death coming.

I know... but it still doesn't hurt less knowing she died. She did have it coming, but... To me, Louise is the "b***h", not her.

You can say bitch, it's alright filter-wise.
I wish they'd release the Strike Rouge RG outside of the convention exclusive version, particularly with an IWSP, but I guess that might be asking a lot. I imagine they will eventually get around to it.
Really wondering how they will handle the new Real Grades. GM and Ground Gundam in particular, since they could have any number of accessories, or not have them. Z'Gok and Gouf will probably be particularly straightforward, outside of what sort of heat rod Gouf will have, the tentacle or the wire.

I'm thinking of giving the Gundam series a try. However, I know there are quite a few series with the "Gundam" name in it and I'm not sure where I should start.
What series should I view first? I've never seen any of them.
Also, sub or dub?

Gundam usually has good dubs, regardless. After 00, give SEED a try, with the dub. If you feel curious about the Universal Century, I'll say start with Zeta Gundam, dub.

I've been watching quite a bit of Anime lately but I just haven't seen any of the Gundam franchise and it's about time I get around to it. I appreciate it.

While I liked Nena her death shouldn't ahve been so damn cheap. All the deaths during that episode were pretty damn cheap and underwhelming, and I love how she was stuck in the Drei the whole time basically to give Louise an ecuse to instantly recognize Nina.

In order to understand the complete Amuro/Char saga, watch the original Mobile Suit Gundam first, followed by Zeta, and end with Char's Counterattack. ZZ or Victory aren't going to be released in the US anytime. Seed was a reimagining of the original MSG (like what Ultimate Marvel was to regular Marvel). Destiny was intended to be the Zeta to Seed's MSG, but the end result is what happens if the producers/writers listen to the fans a little bit too much.

Honestly you can skip watching Char's Counterattack, it's pretty bad an ignores alot of stuff that happened in Zeta.

It's worth watching to see potentially the ugliest mobile suit that was ever made in the Hobby Hizack.

Was there really a high demand for a remastered version of SEED Destiny?

Or rather, because Kira, Athrun, Lacus, and Cagalli were extremely over with the Japanese viewers, and their fans would have rioted if Fukuda went through with the original plans. I don't think the VAs have a lot of pull on their characters; I can't see Soichiro Hoshi (Kira's VA) going Triple H on Fukuda.

It would have been a crappy ending, at least to me. Zeta's ending was a big downer, and it didn't go anywhere NEAR that rough.
