What is your favorite or the best Gundam series ever!
| I am in the process of watching all Gundam shows in order of air date. Currently only 2 shows in, with Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. I think the sequel has been impressive, and built on what the first pioneering show did, but I'm at 30 episodes and its beginning to feel like a slog to get through. 50 episode anime really need to be designed better, infact dont make 50 episode anime in the first place! Anyway, looking forward to ultimately watching every Gundam show out there. |

| So a poll about the best Gundam series... without the original Gundam 0079 and Gundam ZZ ? |

| Right on time, I was updating my Gundam completed list. Wing and 08th MS Team are favourites of the franchise. Probably 08th MS Team comes out on top though. Favourite mecha, still RX-78-2 design. Can't go wrong with a classic. |
| ZZ is there, but the original is most definitely not - Yojiro is talking about the original series when he says 0079, not IGLOO. Frankly, there are a number of MIAs. In addition to the original Mobile Suit Gundam, I see no Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO: The Hidden One Year War, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed C.E.73: Stargazer, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed MSV Astray, or the SD Gundam franchise (though that omission is forgivable). Furthermore, I kind of reject the "series" bit since it leaves a few really nice ones like Gundam F91 (okay, and Char's Counterattack too) out of the picture. |
| Wow no 00? how do you include IGLOO but not 00? |
| Now why would I do that |
| oic you meant him wheres 00 man?  |
| Wing, since you left 00 out. |
kantokid said: So you voted for 08th too? Meant to. But poor hand-eye coordination made me vote for SEED. Blah. In Kantokid's defense, 00 still has half of the series remaining. |

| Gundam Wing since 00 is left out. |
| Well, you can't win them all. I'm sure there are a multitude of Gundam hentai series not on the list. |

| Aw, I have to choose ? Guess I'll post what I posted in the club. Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Perfect mixing of war, drama, and character growth. All wrapped up with great Mecha and a somewhat political tone. Followed by 08th MS Team as second, 0083 third, and 00 as fourth. |
i have never gotten myself to even try to watch a gundam series. for some reason i just dont think that it will be interesting. but then again it must be at least halfway decent if so many are made |

| Either original or Zeta. Char's counterattack was awesome also. |

Anyway, looking forward to ultimately watching every Gundam show out there. I think you nailed Zeta's biggest problem on the head; the pacing. It slogs for a bit more until the second earth arc, but then it picks up again, especially with Char's finest moment. As for the poll, my favorite is Turn A, but I voted G because I feel particularly GAR today. |
| Gundam Wing was the first gundam show i ever watched.. and it was great, but i voted for stardust memory.. liked it as much as wing though. |
 |
| Endless Waltz cuz Wing Zero is epic. Also because I watched that more than Wing itself. xD |
   |
| You forgot Mobile Suit Gundam 00, it's my favorite. Probably because it's the newest, I don't like old shows. I tried watching some of the others and couldn't. |
| Gundam seed destiny since 00 is not there |
 |
| Mobile Suit Gundam Wing! First and last Gundam Series Ill ever watch |
     |

| DESTINY! DO NOT WANT! |
| Ever since I've heard the word 'Gundam' years and years ago, I've 90% of the time heard 'wing' along with it. Was Gundam Wing most non-Japanese kids exposure to the franchise I wonder? |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| GD SEED, story, music, action and heart breaking moments. Kira being overpowered what more can you ask for. |
 |
| ^ Kira to die :D I haven't watched much Gundam myself but 08th MS Team is excellent as an anime, so I'm voting for it. |
 |
| First Gundam series I saw was Wing so I'll go w/ Wing. Got hooked when I saw the Deathscythe model XD |
     |
| I voted for G Gundam. It brings back so many memories of coming home from middle school, turning on Cartoon Network, and just relaxing. |
 |
| Gundam SEED (Destiny) The other shows are not really to my liking (haven't watched them all but I have tried out a bit of many others). |
   |
| Gundam SEED for me ! My first gundam serie ! For his story, characters, mecha ... all ! ^^ |
   |
| Would of been Gundam 00 for me. So next is Gundam SEED. 08th MS Team was decent, Wing had too much reused animation and repetitive with the politics, and Destiny was nowhere as good as SEED. |
     |
| Gundam Seed for me, but I do have some doubts... :D |
| I've over half and my first gundam series was Wing, but it wasn't my favorite... it was rather boring if you ask me. My favorite would be 8th MS team. I have no clue why, but I feel in love with that series. |

With that said, I still enjoyed Destiny, just no where as much as I enjoyed SEED. |

Personally, I thought it used too many reused plot elements.... It felt more of the same Isn't this universal for all gundams? they tend to exchange plot elements with each other and they tend to feel "more of the same" To me at least.Seed definitely gets more hate than it deserves. |

Maybe plot elements is the wrong term... I meant something more specific like plot similarities like.. |
