What is it/what is it about? Setting: Earth has been ravaged by war, so all the nations created space colonies, and everyone who could afford it fled to them. In order to try and 'fix' the problem of war, they have decided to settle their differences by way of the Gundam Fight. The Fight happens every four years, and calls for every country to send a Gundam and a fighter to control it, and they spend a year battling it out, and the last one standing gives his nation the right to rule all the others for the next four years.
Earth is the ring.
The other thing to know is the presence of a secret quasi-mystical society called the Shuffle Alliance, which has existed throughout time for the purpose of overseeing wars and making sure humanity survives. There are five at any given time, mapped to card ranks, and they are magically 'chosen' rather than deciding to join.
What do you love about it? I have a post summarizing the characters, who are so dang charming, you guys. This show celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. It's very hot-blooded power-of-friendship/love stuff, and even at its most logically ridiculous really lands the emotional beats. Also it's chock full of hot dudes in latex fight suits.
Where should people start? I'd love you to start at the top, but I do have some episode guides for some of the requested tags! Episodes 2, 18, 31, and 35 are highlights for Chibodee, with all of those but 31 also being go-tos for the Chibodee/Domon dynamic. (Not that 31 doesn't have moments, but it's very much a spotlight episode.) The episodes for Argo/Nastasha would be 5, 8, 19, 38, and 46.
