Anime Director Reveals the Gundam Show to Watch 'Even If You Haven't Seen the Other Gundam Series'
Image
The Mobile Suit Gundam franchise is now over 45 years old and has more than 60 anime shows and movies to its name. With so many series to choose from, it can be intimidating for a newcomer to break into the universe, but a Gundam episode director has now recommended one of the best places to start.

Originally created by director Yoshiyuki Tomino, the Gundam series has gained massive popularity all over the world, and it's become easily the most globally recognizable mecha anime franchise to date. One artist who worked under Tomino on Turn A Gundam has many good things to say, both about director Tomino himself and the series they worked on together. In a recent interview with Febri in honor of the 25th anniversary of Turn A Gundam, Masakazu Hishida, who worked on the anime as an assistant director and storyboarder, shared his experiences.
