Bandai doesn't use StackPaks, they only use M-Lock bricks and LiteBox cases (14mm case; can hold up to six discs; some overlapping, but not stacked).

Is there a recommended series that those who are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of Gundam lore can watch as a fairly stand-alone series while also getting a good "feel" for the mood and style of the franchise? Gundam Wing Gundam Seed Gundam 00 Take your pick! Gundam 0080, Gundam 0083 and Gundam The 08th MS Team could also work, but they are OVAs. G Gundam is also a standalone, but it's a bit unique compared to the others. Personally I would go with Gundam 00, since it's the newest one. So these series are recommended for beginners as a quick way to get into the Gundam universe? There seem to be a lot of stand-alone series for the Gundam franchise. Getting away from the continuation after continuation and going for the independant (or stand-alone)series, is this something new to try to pull in new viewers? _________________________ "There's no cure for idiots." - Natsumi Tsujimoto

Yes! I listed the ones that you can simply pick up and watch. After watching most of Gundam 00 now on Syfy (3 episodes to go). I recommend this one the most to beginners. Quote: There seem to be a lot of stand-alone series for the Gundam franchise. Getting away from the continuation after continuation and going for the independent (or stand-alone) series, is this something new to try to pull in new viewers? Yes and no! In Japan, it was to a certain extent. However, what created the switch was when Yoshiyuki Tomino allowed other directors to make Gundam series. Tomino sticked with one time line (Universal Century) and created loose continuation between the series, while the other directors didn't want to do that. Mainly, because they had new and unique ideas for the franchise. That's why they created alternate time lines and made them standalone. Edited by joelgundam01 (09/09/09 12:19 PM)

Nabuca UPSF Ensign Registered: 09/08/09 Posts: 19	Though it really doesn't act like the typical Gundam show, 0080 War in the Pocket is the best. Deeper, much better written, and accomplishes this in only a few episodes.

hironothero UPSF Ensign Registered: 08/17/09 Posts: 16 Loc: California	Hmm...favorite Gundam series, huh? I can't single it down to just one, but I really like Gundam Wing, Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, and Gundam 00. I basically have enjoyed pretty much all the different Gundam series that I've seen, more or less. The only ones I couldn't get into/stand are Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny.

Funkgun UPSF Lieutenant Junior Grade Registered: 08/17/09 Posts: 50	Gundam Zeta, and original a close second for faves. Non-faves? Probably, Gundam Seed Destiny (not Seed) or Gundam ZZ for a couple I never have enjoyed as much... seeing that I never finished either of them.
