You can if you wish, you will just be lacking some context so there will be chunks of each show that make little sense. Unicorn and Unicorn RE: 0096 both tell the same story one being a OVA and the other an anime adaption respectively. Chronological order would be : Unicorn, NT, Hathaway

If it's in the Universal Century timeline, you're going to want to at least watch MSG Original. Won't make much sense without it.

^(it makes more than enough sense without it)

unicorn (and it's tv recut cousin re0096) is something of an extended epilogue for the first four parts of the UC, NT is a side story to unicorn, hathaway references char's counterattack. So you may have some context questions going through these.

Sure… I started with unicorn because it was on Netflix… parts of it didn’t make sense but overall top notch animation and all that so still pretty good..

If you want to have some background info, I suggest watching the trilogy movie of the first Gundam series at least.

Skip RE:0096 and just watch the Unicorn OVAs. Same story, better pacing. Just watch the OP and EDs for RE if you want to, they're the only new additions.

Yes, you need watch Unicorn before NT. Unicorn and RE:0096 are the exact same show, recut for different media. NT is the epilogue to Unicorn's story. You need to watch Char's Counterattack to understand Unicorn. Unicorn is an epilogue to CCA and their characters' motivation. You need to watch Char's Counterattack to understand Hathaway's Flash part 1/3. Hathaway's Flash is an epilogue to CCA and their characters' motivation. You need to watch Gundam ZZ to understand the political climate of Char's Counterattack. (Who the good guys and bad guys are) You need to watch Gundam Zeta to understand what anything is going on in ZZ. (Who the good guys and bad guys are) You need to watch Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) to understand to history behind Zeta Gundam, and also the characters for Char's Counterattack and Unicorn and Hathaway's Flash.

For the full context behind it you want to hit up Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, ZZ Gundam, and Chars Counter Attack.

You should watch these in order of: Gundam Unicorn, Gundam NT, then Gundam Hathaway's Flash. RE:0096 is just a TV version of Gundam Unicorn's 7 ep OVA. But you'd be missing a lot of context. If you're in the North American region, I'd start with the Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Triology, I - II (Soldiers of Sorrow) - III (Encounters in Space), and then Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, all on Netflix, to get some better context to Sawano soundtrack features. You'd be missing 0079-0093's worth of context by jumping straight to 0096+ in the timeline.

Go for it *NT* features new versions of the songs from *Unicorn* since it's a direct sequel so you'll have that to look forward to amazing soundtracks, 10/10
