Gundam Wing was my first and favorite Gundam series, the only things from the UC Timeline I could ever appreciate were 0080:War in the Pocket and 0083: Stardust Memories. I've tried to watch the original MSG and Seed but just could never get into them. Yoshiyuki Tomino has this really bad habit of having very painfully slow set-up for his long running stories and so it takes 20-25 episodes before it finally really hooks you but you can't just skip to those episodes or you are completely lost concerning the plot and cast.

I think the reason I didn't care for Seed was because it's pretty much a modern take on the original MSG storyline. The story and plots are painfully similar for a very long time before they really start to diverge, and I feel that kind of killed it for me. I've been meaning to give the original MSG a second chance though.

Course I was always more of a Macross fan anyway...
