I have never watch a Gundam series and my friend recommended it to me. I always thought about Gundam series to feel childish to watch, like how a kid recommends you to watch Frozen or make you watch Nemo. With this mindset, I sat the bar low when watching the first episode.

I was completely and utterly wrong about Gundam. The grittiness of the world, the ongoing war between factions, the reveal of Barbatos is all exhilarating. But you slowly start to realize that the people fighting are just kids trapped on a world that gave them no choice but to participate on a war and kill each other.
