Mobile Suit Gundam

Where's all the Gundam fans at? I know mecha anime is hated in this community, but I know there are fellow fans lurking about.

Anyway, I've decided that I'm going to binge out on the Gundam series again. I woke up one day and really wanted to watch Gundam.
I wanted to watch them in order, based on the Gundam timeline, but I decided to watch ones I haven't seen yet.

Just finished Gundam AGE and I have to say it was one of the better versions. The big timeskips really made it interesting.
Next I'm planning to watch Victory Gundam since it's the only one that I haven't seen yet. I also heard a lot of people considered it to be the best because of the feels trip it delivers.

But yeah, that's what I'm currently pursuing. I'll probably be watching G Gundam afterward since that was my favorite among the series.

With that said, Gundam fans, which series is your favorite?
Mecha is hated in this community? I missed this memo, especially since NGE is mecha.
I don't associate with the disgusting weeaboos who hate mecha. I actually take pity on them.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam will always be my favorite.
Sup, mechafag here.

My favs are:

Wing
Mobile Fighter G
Seed
Seed Destiny
Zeta

Yeah, I liked 08th MS Team and War in the Pocket. Those were pretty decent, too.

Where should I start with mecha? I've only really seen the really obvious stuff like NGE, Gundam Wing, Code Geass and Elureka 7.

Well personally I started with Gundam because I always liked how they looked + their special abilities each suit is equipped with.

Yes! I'm glad someone agrees.

If you loved The 08th MS Team then I'm sure you'll like most of everything else in the Universal Century.

As for other mecha anime, you can try:

Buddy Complex, Aldnoah Zero, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, Aquraion, Gurren Lagann, and Code Geass.
Found out a new Gundam series is planning to be aired October 4th, 2015. The new series will be another original and will be called "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans".
Like a lot of other popular Gundam series, this one will also be written by someone other than the original creator.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclop...p?id=17329 A bit of news on it, I'll make an actual thread about it later on.

I am extremely excited to see this news while on my binge. It has an interesting synopsis and the Gundam is very original.
It looks like a mix between the original Gundam and the Evangelion.

If you haven't gotten into Gundam 00. Watch it now. Top gundam series to ever exist. Make sure to watch season 1 before 2.

Already seen Gundam 00 and it's definitely up there in the favorites category. The movie was pretty great as well.

I have been thinking about going back and watching the special edition of 00 though. It is a recap of season 1 and 2 but there is supposed to be re-recorded dialogue and some new animated sequences.

Thanks for the recommendation though.
I like mecha, but haven't watched through gundam yet. My housemate is a gundam freak, i should grab it all off him. Such a commitment though haha, starting at the old MSG. ^^
I like gundam most recently (year ago or so) I wanted Gundam Unicorn and shit.I collect/build Gundam models.
