>>5783125To add on that, what I mean by (kind of) is that both Turn A and G reco take place so far into the future they can be considered their own thing. However, they are also part of the UC due to having multiple references to it
It's kind of a blur where you can watch them without prior knowledge of the UC and enjoy it, but you can also watch the UC beforehand and enjoy it. The Build series is also like this where they reference pretty much every Gundam show but they're completely standalone shows that you can enjoy without context
But unlike Turn A/G reco, there's going to be a ton of references in the Build series you just won't understand without context
>>5783295DO NOT watch the compilation movies. They switch around a ton compared to the show and the ending is completely different
