I always liked G Gundam the best! I saw a few others like Wing, Seed, Destiny, 00, and the Original but G Gundam always stood out for me.

Wing was the best period. Anyone who seriously thought Seed Destiny or 00's second season was good needs to re-evaluate their tastes in all seriousness (Let the flamewar commence!). Seed Destiny popped out Gundams from nowhere for no reason, and abused the concept of Deus Ex Machina to no end (We're expected to believe Lacus CONVENIENTLY had an upgraded version of the Freedom in her spaceship? Why didn't he use it before then!? and how did Kira magically survive a NUCLEAR EXPLOSION FROM HIS OWN MOBILE SUIT?!? - these are only some examples of plot abuse).

And as for 00, the first season was perfectly fine, but the second season seemed to have forgotten what it was supposed to be doing - it was one sidetracking after another and many of them were just silly. Then of course, near the end they have yet another huge deus ex machina where that giant thing shows up out of nowhere with all these guns and crap on it, and somehow a final duel between Setsuna and that other guy is supposed to bring peace to the world via the sparklies? The second season just got worse as it went on (it started off well enough).

All UC series are at least of an okay or great rating with the exception of Victory. Victory was pretty meh.

Gundam X is one of the best Gundam series as well, though it's unfortunate virtually no one outside Japan has seen it.

Turn A is just plain bizarre, though not bad.

I totally agree regarding Gundam 00. The first season was great, however when Gundam Wing got to the point where Zero system was showing people the future in combat I had to abandon ship with Gundam Wing. Gundam 0083 will always be my favorite.

Personally i've always been a fan of the original storyline mainly cause i thought the story & character development was topnotch, also Char was so badass. So when Char's Counterattack was made til this day in my opinion it is the best Gundam moment for me.

Gundam Wing's story is probably the most complex & intriguing of all the series, this is not a Gundam series for fans of Seed & beyond. There is alot of depth to Wing that if you miss an episode you can get lost. It was also more believable that the Gundam Series we have now which is lets face it all about cool Gundams & pretty characters. Story & development are secondary.

I agree Gundam X is very underrated, as well as the 0083 and 08th MS series.

The newer series like SEED & 00 are good but nowhere near the grandness of the older Gundam series. Like i said the new series are all flash & little to no substance. A good example of this was with SEED Destiny. The first SEED was great i enjoyed it. Though i still to this day disagree with the 'hate on' for a character like Fllay, which is a whole discussion on its own which i have commented many times before so i won't go there. I stand on my opinion of that matter. Anyways as i was saying the first half of Destiny i enjoyed but when the main character changed from Shinn to Kira for no reason whatsoever other than to satisfy the fans of Kira was a big mistake, his story was already told in the first season....why dive into it again? They wasted a great opportunity on a character like Shinn & the series went downhill from there.

Never got into 00 cause the story just didn't interest me at all, it felt underwhelming & uninteresting from the very start.
