Anyone other than me a fan of Gundam here? If so, whats your favorite series? I like Chars Counterattack, 0083 Stardust memory, and Mobile Suit Gundam the most. Talk about it here.

EDIT: I just realized this goes in Media Metropolis, my apologies.

My favourite Gundam is Wing just because Heero was so totally awesome and because it was the first REAL anime I watched (Pokemon and Digimon dont count :p). Second would probably be Seed, although I'm not finished Destiny.

I like Gundam, though I haven't seen many of the series. What's the current consensus on the new series, 00?

yeah the new gundam is Gundam 00 which will be split into 2 seasons. first 25 episodes this year and followed by another 25 episodes in October 2008. something like that i read it somewhere. i think it was the animenewsnetwork.

i don't really have a favorite but there i like most of them cause some had good storyline, such as wing, g gundam, and the seed series.

i haven't started on the 00 series yet but will when i go home on the winter break.

Gundam Wing was pretty freakin sweet. And then when Endless Waltz came out, it was just epic.
I think Gundam 00 is taking a more realistic approach. They're keeping the AD timeline and project how the issues of fossil fuel scarcity will divide the world. The gundams themselves are awesome too. Dynames + haro ftw.

I'm currently watching 00, but I've seen Wing, Seed, Seed Destiny, and some of G-Gundam. I thought most of them were pretty good, except for destiny, destiny blew. It just seemed like a rehash of seed with new characters, and too may flashbacks.

Wing was great. SD was ********, and SEED wasen't as deep as the rest of them, but it wasen't that bad. I used to watch G Gundam, and I've never watched 00. How is it?

Yeah, they stopped showing it in America for all I know. Probably didn't sell as well as they wished, or something. I don't know. It's ********.

I have watched the original Mobile Suit Gundam(every episode), 08 MS Team(every episode), War in the Pocket(every episode), Stardust Memory(every ep.), G-Gundam(every ep.), Gundam Wing(every episode), Gundam Seed(parts because I disliked seed). I also own and seen Endless Waltz and Char's Counterattack. I have wanted to see Zeta Gundam and Double Zeta Gundam as well as Turn-A Gundam. I might try 00 Gundam if I can find any eps online.

Awesome. I think Char's Counterattack was the best movie, but it's overlooked almost all the time. I have the DVD and Mobile Suit Gundam 5 DVD set, those will probably remain my favorites. I disliked SEED.

Yeah, considering they were still alive and they didn't include them in whatsoever. That was a little messed up.

The Sazabi was very underrated, too. The final battle, he was defeated when Char's "woman" buzzed in when they were talking, and it was from behind.

I'm a pretty big UC fan, although I am partial to the first Gundam I ever saw: Stardust Memory. Nothing beats the GP01 guys... the GP01 design had the perfect mix of classic and contemporary.
I hear ya, man. 0083 and Stardust Memory were great. One of my favorite suits is from stardust memory, the GP-02A Physalis.

I like watching Gundam Wing, G Gundam, and Gundam Seed. I like Gundam Wing the most because I like Heero's personality and his mobile suit, Wing Zero. Oh yeah, I also liked the opening (both original and the toonami version) and the ending (the english version) were great.

The only Gundam that I ever watched was G Gundam.

And it was awesome. Opening song got stuck in my head for years. :laugh:

Well the other day I decided to rewatch some old shows I either never finished or never started. I downloaded G-Gundam and Gundam Wing, and wow these shows were good. Much better than the garbage we have now. (SandTiger summed up SD Gundam pretty well IMO).
