I'm talking about the originals. Gundam didn't spend an episode on why the Sides were built and how Zeon came to rebel -- the opening shot of the series is an O'Neill cylinder falling on a city while the narrator says, "Hey, there's like this civil war between Earth and its space colonies, and it's left billions dead on both sides," and then the episode jumps straight into Amaro's story. All the the other backstory is worked into the narrative as needed. Ditto Macross.
