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 so torn about side materials.

On the one hand, the side story manga for Wing, Last Outpost, was SO much fun. On the other, if they had suits that advanced and we see multiple trips way out of Earth orbit in the main series, it makes a plot hole you could drive a Gundam-hauling truck through.

And on the mechanical gripping claw, I couldn't get into the side story for 00 at ALL. :p Not sure what it was about it.

One of my favorite Gundams came out of side stories (Hydra!) and I'm inclined to count "more cool gunpla" as a positive overall, haha.

*s* Fair enough!

Yes and yes. I like my mobile suits OTT, but I gather people who don't were fairly bothered by it.

HEYYYY you're right on the money. -_-; There was more than one?
