Should I watch G-Gundam?

Good, because G Gundam is just Street Fighter with mechs.
Depending on your tolerance for dumb bullshit, I'd say go for it.
I adore G Gundam. It's one of those series I regularly do a rewatch of. It's not perfect by any means (there's a fairly predictable pattern to the whole that quickly becomes apparent among other things) but if you can get past that and the general silliness it's a lot of fun.
Why is this even a question.
One should ALWAYS watch G-Gundam*
unless you were given the choice to watch Seed/Destiny, then I would suggest Seed. Cause Shinn Asuka is the best.

Yes. Grab some snacks, turn the volume way up, and let the insanity wash over you. Also remember its not indicative of the franchise just a parody of the time it was released thanks to the popularity of Fist of the North Star, Yu Yu Hakusho, and of course Dragon Ball lol.
I'd say G Gundam is Street Fighter w/ mechs and a mix of cheesy soap opera.
G Gundam is the Metal Gear Rising of anime. Well it's the other way around but you know what I mean.
If the phrase "Tequila Gundam from the Space Colony NEO MEXICO" doesn't sell you, then nothing will.
OP just ask yourself this: When you're watching gigantic humanoid robots lumbering across the battlefield to destroy their enemies are you more concerned about the grim reality of war and the effects its having on those pilots and the populace at large... or do you wanna let a hot blooded monologue and flaming punch that fucking robot into the next city over? If its the latter G Gundam is for you.
It's the best Gundam series.
It's also the most unGundam Gundam series. It's essentially a magical girl show under the trappings of mecha.

Yes. I rewatch it every couple of years Never gets old.

G Gundam is one of the most fun anime I have ever watched. Fun is the best word I have to describe it really.
Yes, absolutely. It's tropey, it's absurd, it reuses animations every episode, it's not really representative of the gundam franchise as a whole, but damn if it isn't entertaining as hell. Mecha and martial arts shouldn't go so well together, a giant robot on a robotic horse shouldn't work, but somehow does in this wonderfully crazy series.
Hell yes. Watched it a few years ago wondering if it would hold up to my nostalgia.
Turns out it owns even harder than I remembered.

I randomly started watching G Gundam 2 years ago without any previous knowledge of it (didn't air back were I lived, no idea about memes, that people loved it etc).
Fuck, what an entertaining ride that was. It is absurd, but not like Gurren Lagan - it is a more melodramatic soap opera shonen, which I love as a fan of JoJo. It is simply amazing, and I found the 1st part of the anime to be better than the 2nd (both are really good though!). By the way, I watched it with jap dubs which were superb. Go for it OP!
