Considering SEED and Seed DESTINY are rabidly popular in Japan, I'm guessing this is a case of sample skew.

Agree with Gundam 00 in the No. 1 spot.

Surprised that Seed isn't higher on the list. Shocked

I kept scrolling down looking for SEED. How is it THAT low?

I'm not surprised both Gundam 00 and Gundam Wings took 1st and 2nd place, I like the story, narratives, and characters in both series, I do agree with the poll. I'm also not surprised that SEED is is lower since well yeah I had problem with SEED Destiny. SEED was a bit of a rehash of the original 1979 Gundam series.

Kinda surprised by Seed's low ranking, but why the hell is 00 first, seed is better than 00, especially after that weird movie ending

While i still didn't watch Gundam Age, i found Wing and 00 to be the least favorite Gundam shows from the ones in the list. Of course it's all down to personal taste and so. For me, i would put Seed, X, G for the top spots. And i wouldn't even consider Destiny at all.

Destiny was enjoyable, I thought, u get to look at the war from 3 different perspectives and btw, Shinn was a pretty good anti hero

If I took Turn A and moved it to the bottom 5 and then moved the bottom 5 to the top and the top 4 to the bottom it would look a lot more like a list I would make using my own personal preferences. Laughing

And vacuous, repetitive, predictable comment is... Hell, I'm not typing those words a second time.

Well, I don't agree with the list entirely (00 and GW over Turn A?), but at least SEED and SEED Destiny are at the bottom, where they belong.

Astoundingly, Gundam AGE is busy making Seed Destiny look nuanced and well written.

The main villain's plan is, amazingly, just an even stupider version of the Destiny Plan.

I dropped AGE a while back. Not because it was bad, it just didn't hold my interest. Well, I guess that sort of counts as bad.

I thought about returning to it, but from what I've read, it might not be such a good idea.

Gundam AGE also makes me pine for Seed Destiny's confident, competent and well-written female characters.
