After rewatching thunderbolt yesterday it really reminded me how amazing the writing for that show was.

The realistic art style, Music, Dark writing. The theme of pilots losing their humanity to war.

It had some awesome moments too, I was curious what other gundam anime you guys can recommend that have a more similar art style/writing style as thunderbolt.

I am currently watching Zeta. Have already watched origional

Most people enjoy Chars Counterattack, and The 08th MS Team. Child soldiers is a recurring theme in Gundam. Gundam Wing has an ongoing plot thread where the main character learns to stop being just a weapon. Gundam SEED deals with 2 college students becoming Gundam pilots on the opposite sides of the war and dealing with the horrors of war, the loss of friends, and coming to terms with killing.

While I haven't seen Thunderbolt just yet, a couple of mecha/Gundam-like anime I can highly recommend is:

  • Eureka Seven
  • Gurren Lagann
  • Code Geass
  • Iron-Blooded Orphans
  • 86 -Eighty Six-
