[font=trebuchet ms][color=darkblue]My favorite is [i]New Mobile Report Gundam Wing[/i]. The first Gundam I watched was [i]Mobile Fighter G. Gundam[/i], and the substance of the series motivated me to search for other Gundam shows. My best friend recommended Gundam Wing to me, so I tried it out.

To my surprise, it became one of the most enjoyable anime series I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. There's something about young kids who are smarter, more mature and skilled than stubborn adults. I also enjoyed the purity of the characters. With the exception of psychotic Zechs, everyone followed their heart consistently throughout the series. Great show.

[i]Mobile Suit Gundam SEED[/i] would follow at a close second. As far as quality goes, it is superior to most Gundam shows I've watched. The relationships seem to be more outgoing, and really affect the actions of the main characters, unlike Wing.

"I will kill Relena" - Heero

Oh, and how can spam lead to pointless posts, if spam itself ARE pointless posts?

[size=1]You are right, [i]your[/i] post is not spam, but the other ones are. A poorly written first post usually leads to follow-up posts that are even worse. I'll leave this open, but just because I enjoy being mocked...

My favorite Gundam 'saga' had to be the 8th MS Team. It was one of (if not the) shortest entries into the Gundam universe, but I thought that they did an amazing job of capturing the emotions of soldiers at war. I have never been to war, but all of the characters and their motivations seemed very realistic to me. The ending was very emotional, I couldn't imagine how attached I had become to these characters after only 13 episodes. With 'DBZ' and 'Yu Yu Hakusho' running for 100+ episodes each, it is hard for me to understand why 8th MS Team had to send so soon.

Actually shy hate to be the nip in the bud...but the shortest Gundam saga/series was the ova Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket ranging in at 6 epiodes. As for 8th MS Team it's tied with 0083 Stardust memory for second place with 13 episodes.

My favorite Gundam saga aka series would be a tie between Gundam Zeta and Gundam ZZ *double Zeta* best series with some of the best Gundam action and storylines to date, not to meantion old characters from the original Gundam show up for cameos.

Coming in at a close second place would be 8th MS Team since I love the whole in "love" with the enemy storylines. ^_^

As much as I disliked it the first time through my favorite would have to be Gundam X. It had very memorable characters with a fairly good storyline. The only thing that mildly bothered me about X was that the three main gundams just never seem as cool as all their opponets for some reason all the gundams and mobile suits of their enemies just looked a hell of a lot cooler IMHO.

My second favorite would have to be Gundam Z just based on the fact that it had the best ending that I have seen for any of the shows (so far). Watching my favorite characters fighting on the same side in this installment was really great too if only just too see them fight better and out fly Kamille while piloting mobile suits. I also liked that gundams were still just as easy to destroy as mobile suits I always like it much more if having a gundam doesn't mean you're invincible.

Yeah I have to agree with you on that Ben, thats why I like the older Gundam shows, they were much more realistic and still could be destroyed easily. The pilots relied on there skills unlike, the Gundam Wing pilots that were relying on performance enhancing gundams like Wing Zero and Epyon.

In the original thread I stated my favorite series was the [i]08th MS Team[/i], but my feelings on this have changed quite a bit since then. My current favorite is the newest Gundam series [i]Mobile Suit Gundam SEED[/i]. I have seen around half of the episodes released so far, and I am in love with the series. The mech designs are simply genius. The animation is the best in any Gundam series before, and I have fallen in love with Kira?s character.

My second favorite series is the [I]08th MS Team[/I], mainly because I love the ending. A close third is [I]Mobile Report Gundam Wing[/I]. I fell in love with the different traits in the 5 pilots personalities. My favorite was Quatre, he blamed himself for everything and I could relate to that. The only character I didn?t think acted real at all was Heero. He was [I]very[/I] boring.

No matter how much people tell me that Gundam Wing is better than G Gundam is not in my opinion. G Gundam was the first serious I watched and my favorite of what I see from Gundam. I like the story best in G Gundam you can say because that is more my kinda taste then the rest of the Gundam series.

I have to say I prefer the shortest gundam series. I really liked War in a Pocket, as well as 8th MS Team. I think these series had more complex, realistic, characters than others.

But thats just my opinion.:D

The original gundam was my favorite hands down. I know the animation is kinda crappy but the plot line and the character development is without a doubt great. G-Gundam is good too, but after watching it over and over the perkiness is getting on my nerves. I want gloom and doom and destruction. I probably will love Victory gundam once it comes out, praying that the stupid english dubbers don't screw it up beyond belief.

My favorite Gundam series is [i]Kido Senshi Gundam SEED[/i]. A friend of mine sent me the first episode over AIM about a month ago. I've been in love with the series ever since. So far I have seen around 2/3 of the released episodes. I actually started having feelings about the characters/orginizations. I absolutely love Kira, but I hate the [i]ZAFT[/i] orginization. The animation is brilliant, smooth, with vibrant colors. Plus, the mech designs are simply genious.

Just check it out:
