| Watch Gundam SEED, Gundam 00. SEED has 50 episodes per season which is 100 episodes all together if you count the second season called SEED Destiny, and 00 has 25 episodes per season (50 episodes in total) and a Movie. SEED consists of teen drama and loads of character development, which may be off putting to some. Plus, the story line is similar to the original Gundam Series. 00 is a completely radical and new niche of Gundam. It gets rid of the stereotype of Gundams vs Zakus and throws it all out the window. Instead of Zakus you get Flags, Aheads, Tierens, GN-X's and other custom non-zaku mechas. Unfortunately I know nothing about the other series of Gundam because I don't have time to burn on watching these. |

| If you want to watch retarded soapie filled with emo teen drama and mecha battles that are overdramatic, watch wing/SEED/00, both wing and SEED are what I consider the starting point at which the gundam franchise begin to go completely downhill. If you want to watch something with a lot more emphasis on the actual war and less on the teen fucking drama, watch the UC gundams, Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam Zeta, Gundam ZZ and V Gundam are pretty slow shows considering how old they are and might not suit everyone's taste, but the others (0080, 0083, Char's Counterattack, 8th MS Team) should be well enjoyable.

| Mobile Suit Gundam (Includes 08 MS squadon, 0080 War in the pocket) => Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust memories => Mobile Suit Z Gundam (2 version here, original older version is canon while the remake OVA version is non canon) => Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam => Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counter Attack (Movie, a must watch) => Mobile Suit Gundam UC Unicorn (newest series, only 3 OVA out now, don't watch the novel if you don't wanna spoil yourself) => Mobile Suit Gundam F91 (Another movie, not as climax as char's counterattack but battles are still intense) => Mobile Suit V Gundam (Tomino Yoshiyuki tried to create a harem show but end up so dark that almost every major character with "face" ends up dead >.>)
These sums up the UC ERA in correct order that you should watch. Though some are newer that ends up between older timeline (like stardust memories is created after z gundam, unicorn gundam being newest).
Mobile Fighter G Gundam -- Very Hotblooded like some kungfu anime where you see gundams (yes in here everthing in major combat are gundams, all are gundams, even weird looking ones) fighting each other. This is the most flashy series out of the whole lot, including moves shouting, battle aura, super moves, any other thing you find in fighting games will end up here.
New Mobile Report Wing Gundam & Endless Waltz -- both plot line are quite furbish and complete. Though in actual the redesign version of the Gundams that feature in the movie are actually the very same gundams that appears in the later part of the original anime series.
Mobile New Century Gundam X is another good one, too bad the anime version plot got rushed ended up very chaotic, the plot is quite hard to understand in the beginning though, and it's more like a romance series then actual SciFic fantasy series.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED -- a lot of tribute to previous series, with stuff like gundamjacking etc. IF the series on itself ends here, it will be good, but too bad...
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny -- it all crumbles here when that Immortal looks up into the sky and almost has his girlfriend assasinated. The only other series(the other one being war in the pocket) that ends with the INTENDED main character being defeated FLAWLESSLY. Still if you like flashy shows go ahead. (Plot holes etc, please read the sidestory series Astray)
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 -- Newest series not counting unicorn, broken down into 2 season though, (like LXE said, 25 episode each). Plot wise is alright and completed though their meaning of fighting is a bit lame, but leaves a lot of plotholes that covered in the mangas side stories.(and believe me, manga's main char is so imbal, it completely outshadow the main chars in the anime) The series itself continues into the movie Awakening of the Trailbrazer where it becomes Resident Evil gundam ver.!
These concludes the alternate ERA. You can watch these in anyorder since they don't continues into another other then it's own series unlike the UC ERA.
and...AFTER you watch those above... Turn A Gundam or ∀ Gundam -- be it the 50 episode long anime series or the 2 movie length compiled version. The most imbal Gundam out of any series, every previous ERA will ends here.

| SEED is actually quite similar to the original series, but with better graphics, and a slightly different storyline and plot. Targeted at mostly the young teenaged audience. I personally like it because without the teen drama, I won't be watching it. Teen drama is for teenagers. |

If you're talking about the mechanical objects, yes. But if I recall correctly, SEED's character animation consistency was on par with 0079. That being said. OP, I am biased, but I advise staying away from AU series. UC era has awesome, well-developed characters who are often staples to understanding references in tons of other anime/manga. In this sense, if you just want to test out the waters without having to do too much research into the backstory, I suggest 08th MS team - it's short and it provides a storyline that is relatively separate from the rest of the UC series. But really, I suggest just starting from the beginning: Mobile Suit Gundam (0079). | |

| Do you mean quote two people? If so, then just write another set of quote tags in your post.
I don't particularly like anything non-UC so I won't really argue. But I do agree that I was able to get through the first season of 00 but couldn't do more than two episodes of the second season. | |

| Depends on how serious you wanna get, Gundam is a long endeavor, so starting with a shorter series might be best. Honestly, my favorite Gundam series to date is still 8th MS Team. It's only 13 eps or so, and details tactical ground combat (tactics being something lacking in many Gundam series). Also the human relation drama in it is quite a bit more mature, and gives off more of a Romeo x Juliet feel than highschool drama.
Course, if you're hardcore, then yes, starting with UC is the best rout. There are already excellent suggestions up, so I'll not repeat them. | |

| Think very carefully about why people say watch 0079 first and turn a last.
Its because if you do it the other way around you will realize 0079 is total shit and wont bother to watch the rest. | |

DAT NECRO... In my opinion, the Gundam 00 Movie had a lame ending, and - Spoiler:
I was quite disappointed that Setsuna F Seiei didn't battle with the 00 Quanta, and just rushed into the ELS habitat did some weird stuff, and didn't even do much shit. Then he got assimilated into ELS, and the 00 Quanta was remodeled to look like a piece of shit. Plus 00 Quanta lacked A LOT OF screen time! What the hell?!?!
