Gundam
Well I just finished watching the original MSG anime. I have been talking about getting into Gundam for years and years but now I finally am doing it. I did watch G Gundam back in high school but...yeah, that's not a very good representation of the franchise as a whole. Not that it was bad - just not anything like the other series.
I thought MSG was a lot of cool ideas with squandered potential. Too much pointless action, an unlikable cast with a whiny bitch in Amuro and I didn't see what was so great about Char either. The Zabis were the stars of the show and Dozle Zabi has to have one of the best deaths in anime history. Kai also became a lot more likable as time went by.
Anyway, I intend to go through all of Universal Century that was dubbed into English. That leaves 08th MS Team, War in the Pocket, Stardust Memory and Char's Counterattack. Oh and F91 and Unicorn but I dunno when I'll get to those. After CCA, I plan to start the other continuities. I'm looking forward to Zeta a lot because it's THE UC anime according to people. I will either love it and praise Camille as the best protagonist ever or I will loathe it and regard Camille as unbearably whiny.
But anyway, I made this thread for a specific reason. I post on four other forums (technically five but the fifth one is full of the worst kind of UC fans and I hate all of them) and right now there is a tie in fan opinion that I've seen. Two boards are for Wing being terrible and SEED being at least okay. Then there are two other boards for Wing being pretty good and SEED is the Devil. I suspect this conflict of opinion is due to the popularity of both shows - Wing in the West and SEED in the East. When something is much beloved and you "just don't get it," you tend to become very vocal and very negative.
So, Gundam fans of EOFF (if you even exist) what are your favorite Gundam series?
