Favorite Gundam Series/Movie
1. Char's Counterattack
Reason: This is the best Gundam Anything I've ever seen. The Final Conflict between long-time rivals Amuro and Char occurs and it did not let me down. The Storyline elements were greatly done. The new units Nu Gundam, Sazabi, and the Alpha Azieru will always be long term favorites. The storyline of the Original MS Gundam finally ends.
2. After War Gundam X
This series in pretty underratted, but I gotta admit that I loved it. Sure it wasnt a big hit in Japan as Gundam Wing, but it was a great series. It's Scenario of a Colony Drop (That kept being mentioned in UC timelines) was a great "what if" premise. I love that they included Newtypes back into a series, even if it was an AU. Gundam Double X was a Beast, IMO, with the Double Satelite Cannon being one of my all time favorite attacks.
3. Zeta Gundam + Gundam ZZ
These two are pretty much tied in my book. I love the Characters Camille and Judau, they are kinda opposite of each other but both carry similarities to Amuro before them. The Zeta Gundam and Double Zeta Models are some of the best UC era Gundam, IMO.
4. Turn A Gundam
Those turned off by the Unit's Design (Like I once did) Should really give this series a chance. It was created by Tomino, the OG himself. Although it's old-timey setting made this series a little weird at first, it really began to grow on me, showing that it takes place several thousand years after all other gundam series, that's right, this series is supposed to be a "Grand Unification" of all Gundam Series before it. This is made appearant in the later episode when the "Dark History" is revealed. There are even a lot of referrences to former series.
5. Mobile Suit Gundam
The Original, I couldnt possibly place this any lower if I wanted to. I have to give credit where its due. Gundam was a standout series to me, a "Real Robot" model. The characters ended up becoming legends of their own. The introduction of Newtypes and Newtype abilities. Battle scenes were pretty nice as well.

1.Gundam Wing-First Gundam I watched, and the best of all.
2.Endless Waltz-I saw this after the first episode...I WAS A KID, AND WAS BORED.
3.Gundam 00-Resembles Wing, great HD use in this series.
4.MS Gundam 0083:Stardust Memory- Another first Gundam I saw, nice enough for the enemy to have a Gundam as well.

My 3 favorites would have to be Zeta Gundam, Char's Counterattack, and Gundam 0079. Those 3 just had story lines that I like.
Strange enough, one of my least favorite Gundams is Gundam Wing. It used to be one of my favorite animes until I saw Gundam and Gundam Wing just has never been the same to me since

I agree with you on terms of Gundam Wing. I enjoyed it it when I first saw it on Toonami, but that's when I thought it was the only gundam. Once My older bro and I discovered more and watched more, Gundam Wing failed to compare with a lot of the others. Watching it again, I could'nt even stand it.Quatrerwin wrote:My 3 favorites would have to be Zeta Gundam, Char's Counterattack, and Gundam 0079. Those 3 just had story lines that I like.

No particular order mind you
Gundam Wing-Wait, hold your grown for just a moment I'm not finished, if you watch it not as a mech series but as a Super Robot series. If this is confusing feel free to ask and I'll likely just end up making you more confused ^^;
08th MS Team: Cause I feel it captures a more realistic feel of people in war or, as I like to put it simply, it's the Vietnam conflict of the One-Year War.
G-Gundam: For it's interesting control system and for proving that the Japanese can make just as harmful stereo types of other countries just as America. XP

I'm aware of that fact however by watching it as a 'real robot' genre you get certain expectations, certain wants from the show. I'm not saying Gundam Wing is in fact a Super Robot show I'm saying that if it were I believe people would give it a slice less of a hard time.
...Well that and if there was a fully straight character among the group. ^^;

Well, it's always a possibility that I'm just weird that way too ^^;
and yes I'm aware of the obvious expectations Super Robots have however I was, though I should have made it clearing, referring to story or character types expectations... Again saying course, I could just be odd/weird ^^;
