@Arashi yeah, Turn A definitely benefits from having at least seen 79 through char's counterattack. I used to say you HAD to watch those ones for it to be worth watching but I'm a lot more lenient about it now. even if you don't have full context it's still really good. but obviously if you're already/planning on watching a bunch of gundam then saving it for later is a good idea.

I also just a couple nights ago finished GQuuuuuux. the first half of the show gets a bit bogged down in some stuff that I didn't find very interesting, but the last half was really really good and all in all I definitely enjoyed it a lot. I'm not sure where I'd put it on a personal tier list, but I'm absolutely glad I watched it
