Favorite is 0083. Horribly plot, awful and inconsistent characters? Whatever, dem OPs, dat mecha animation. I don't think I've had more fun watching a Gundam before or after.

I admit that I love Gundam Wing mostly out of sentimentality. In repeated watchings, I've found all sorts of flaws (stock footage, bonkers plot), but I don't care, and I imagine that I won't be alone. (I'm under the impression that Wing was the best received Gundam on Toonami.)

Gotta vote for X, though in terms of actual quality 00 is the best.

08th MS Team for me!! I love how "down-to-earth" (literally!) that series is, plus its sense of urgency and attention to the characters' inner lives.... There are a lot of Gundam series I like (I'm not forgetting you, Char's Counterattack and War in the Pocket) but the 08th MS Team has an extra special place in my heart and I love it so much!

This was actually a pretty hard decision for me, so in the end I just went with Victory. Laughing

I am a little curious as to what this survey is going to be used for.

Well, it was an easy answer for me (Seed), but I was thinking that it would be kind of funny if someone managed to get a bunch of people together and have them all purposefully vote for the worst Gundam series. That would stir things up a bit. Smile

Is it really fair to compare the OVAs to TV shows? Oh well, I voted for 0080.

Seeing Turn A in the top 5 despite never getting released in the west makes me sad. We were so close.

^This. MSG 08th MS Team was a nice refreshing change from the usual mess that you have to put up with most Gundam series. No emo teenagers and no messy romance. Sure it had some pacing problems due to it being a short one cour show, which btw is a rarity for a Gundam series, but it made up for that by being more mature and 'realistic' about its themes.

My favorites are generally 00, Zeta, and 08th MS Team. Went with 00 since I figure the other two will get more love anyways.

No option to vote for Gundam UC. XDDD

I went with 00. Admittedly I haven't watched all Gundam series. Did enjoy 0083 and 08th MS Team very much though. G was amusing, and Wing started it all.

I agree. I know its not finished, but Gundam UC is shaping up to be my favorite. If episode 7 delivers, it will firmly secure itself at the top of my list.

The only Gundam series I've really watched is Gundam Wing so I went with it. It seems to be the Gundam series that non-Gundam fans like.
