Whats the best Gundam Series ?

[Shinn Asuka]

I didn't mean to come off as a pompous jackass [Okay, I did...] however, it's true. SEED is a ripoff of Zeta, MSG, and a few other series. As a fact, the first 15 episodes are taken scene-by-scene from MSG.

I don't believe any of the series are bad, per'se. I prefer some over others.Wing and SEED are good if you haven't seen anything prior, and from there you can work into older series. I know MSG tends to turn off a lot of people because it really does show its age, as well as it is rather slow moving.

If you want to start in UC Gundam, I'd say grab 08TH MS Team. It's short, has good characterization, and takes place in the latter half of MSG. From there, work through MSG, watch 0083, then grab Zeta Gundam.

If you want to go the AU route, grab Wing. It seems to draw a lot of fans in. From there, grab X, and then G. Note that G is more like a fighting anime, a lot more like Super Robot Wars.
