My wife is a huge fan of the original Gundam series, and she really wanted to watch this new OVA series (2 episodes are out, with the 3rd one out next month) and so we watched it together, even though I know next to nothing about the series (I keep meaning to watch that original series though). This series tells the story of what happens before that original series, telling the origin story of some of the characters, the mobile suits, etc. I quite enjoyed the 2 episodes that we watched, and not only am I looking forward to the next one, but it’s also making me yet again want to watch the original series from the 70s.
