Discussion Post: Side-Stories and Other Non-Animated Gundam

From manga to gunpla variations to light novels and everything in between, there is a lot of Gundam material that isn't found in any given main anime series in the franchise.


Which brings us to our new discussion topic:

What do you think of the Gundam 'side' materials?


Do you have a favorite, or least favorite? Do you consider it all canon, or only certain parts -- or maybe only for some Gundam universes and not others -- or does it even matter? Are there side-stories you're interested in but haven't read/seen/watched yet?

Lay it all out here!

I'm interested in the side stories, but being familiar with only a few of the newer series, the material is either only partially translated (the Astray manga) or not translated at all (all the Age and Build Fighters side material).

The Lost War Chronicles manga is my current favourite, since I really liked all the characters involved and how the story played out.

Belated, but if you're curious about the Astray novels, I've been chewing on them for ages over here.
