Zeta you are very on point here as I would expect for commentary from you on Gundam. I still haven't opened some of the UC stuff I got, you gotta burn it slowly. Oh and 08 MS Team is mostly for people that aren't Gundam fans. It's not really a typical Gundam show at all, a gaiden basically.

I'm getting ready for a rewatch/fill in the gaps I never saw once my Japanese improves.
I will always go with release order, it's the way it was original seen and processed by original fans so it's the way I want to see it. It might even bring back some of the memories of being excited for a new sequel back in the day.
I remember the hype around 08th MS Team. A lot of rumours it was going to be about ground troops, the infantry fighting next to the Mobile Suits, a real war story. What we actually got was pretty dissapointing.
Never seen the second half of Zeta or any of ZZ, looking forward to both.
In the last two years I've finally completed series' I always meant to. I watched the whole of Maison Ikkoku and SPT Layzner. Well worth it. Last year I did a complete Macross rewatch over 3 months (SDFMTV, DYRL?, TB2012, TV Special, Macross Graffiti, Macross II.) Currently REALLY enjoying my Zambot 3 LD box set. A great primer to restarting Gundam. But yeah what Zeta said is so true, you can't rush it or marathon old anime. A couple of episodes a day tops and really let it sink in. I'm currently still pretty shocked at the bleakness of the last couple of episodes of Zambot 3 (ep17). I can't believe how dark it is, even for Tomino. I'm impressed by the level of creative freedom expressed. I'm very impressed by the kaiju too. Yep, this was so much the basis for Evagelion. A must watch for anime mecha fans.

I've been doing the same. Anime and live action. City Hunter, Babylon 5, Farscape etc... It's made much easier to do as modern TV shows basically don't interest me at all. Everyone seems to say TV shows have never been better but I strongly disagree. Maybe this is just part of getting older, idk. I really want Maison Ikkoku BDs and given all the old anime being re-released in the last couple years it doesn't even feel that farfetched now. I mean crap, I have Kimagure Orange Road pre-ordered right now and I'm just waiting to pre-order Giant Robo. Both on BD. Sublime. It depends on the anime for me even with older stuff. Some stuff is fairly bingeable, others I prefer the slow burn.

I realized years ago that any show, no matter how good, would just become tiresome if you just chug it hours and hours on every day, especially if it's over a hundred episodes, so what I started doing is I actually watch several episodes of several different shows on roughly daily basis, in a specific order, with anime taking turns with western productions, usually animated but sometimes live action as well.
It's certainly made many of the more repetitive shows slightly more bearable, but it's still not enough to save some of the worst dregs I've had to sit through.
