Question

I know, this is going to sound like i'm a moron but... I was going to start watching gundam because I used to watch it on Cartoon Network and was wondering where i should start? Is there different sections like in dragonball?

Ex.)
Dragonball
Dragonball Z
Dragonball GT

Please help me thank you

Hmmm. A lot of Gundam series are their own alternate timeline. So you can start with almost any of them, but I suggest you start with the Universal Century Gundam.

Universal Century:
Mobile Suit Gundam
08th MS Team
0080 War in the Pocket
0083 Stardust Memory
Zeta Gundam
Gundam ZZ
Char's Counterattack
Gundam F91
Victory Gundam

Future Century:
G Gundam

After Colony:
Gundam Wing
Gundam Wing Endless Waltz

After War:
Gundam X

Correct Century:
Turn A Gundam

Cosmic Era:
Gundam SEED
Gundam SEED Destiny
Gundam SEED Stargazer

Anno Domini:
Gundam 00

You can start with any timeline, but if you pick a timeline watch the Gundam Series that fall in that timeline in the order I've posted.
