Have seen Gundam, Zeta Gundam, Wing, Seed and 00 (plus the 00 movie). I voted for Seed. (My second favorite is 00.) Seed just... left such an impression on me. I can still hear the ending theme in my head sometimes.
As for 00, I found both seasons engaging and entertaining, not to mention the incredible prettiness of the character designs. The 00 movie was utterly fantastic until spoiler[the final 5 minutes. A GUNDAM COVERED IN FLOWERS. WTF. I saw it at Anime Expo and director Mizushima was in the audience and took questions afterward. I think everyone tried to be polite, but at the sight of the flower-covered Gundam at the end everyone busted out laughing in disbelief.] |

First, Kamille develops greatly throughout the series, becoming a mentor to Katz, learning to focus his rage, when to let things go, what sacrifices need to be made. The movies cut out huge swaths of story, including vital material like the Kilamanjaro episodes and the Dekar episode and it whimped out in the ending by making it happier. Worse yet, Tomino was happy to do this. It removed almost everything that made Zeta good and it didn't even do it well, it did it in a very sloppy, hapharzard way. Zeta Gundam is an astoundingly well crafted tragedy whose characters are pushed to the edge, and often over, in a desperate world. Villains win, hopes are dashed, and yet there is an intermittable desire to reach forward to the next generation. Well-executed themes, some great MS designs, classic characters, and an unforgettable conclusion. One of my favorite anime of all time.

I voted for 08th MS Team. It was about a toss-up between that and X, which would have one by a long shot if it was TV series only. |

In the end I voted for the original Mobile Suit Gundam, specifically the Movie Trilogy, because of its iconic cast and because of how Yoshikazu Yasuhiko edited together the TV episodes and even improved some of the animation, especially in the third movie. It gets better as it goes on, and the third movie has space battles that manage to feel epic despite the dated animation. I really liked how Amuro went from surviving most of his battles due to the strength of his mobile suit to being a hardened combat veteran, and the Ramba Ral arc of the second movie was great. Also, the ending scene of the third movie is imo one of the greatest scenes in mecha history.
Edit: After some consideration, I changed my vote to 0080. Skip to my post on page 5 of this thread for the reasons why. Last edited by Zump on Fri Mar 15, 2013 5:07 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I considered G gundam, but I ended up choosing 00. I feel for the most part that it is the most consistently entertaining. It also has the best soundtrack in my opinion. I would like to see X and Turn A, but who knows if they will ever get licensed.

They probably never will be licensed, so there's no harm in using the readily-available fansubs. |

We were all so close to seeing Turn A get legally released and then the rug got pulled at almost the last minute. Such a shame.

This. I would have voted for 0083, but I thought 0080 would have less votes. And besides... spoiler["Don't cry, Al. Soon there'll be an even bigger war with even cooler mobile suits!"] |

God, even after all these years, 0080 is still the tops for me. My very first non-VHS anime purchase, and my first (and only) time I shed tears over an anime. Incredibly powerful, though so completely subdued compared to the Top Gun aspect of 0083 or ridiculous cartooniness of anything AU.

Gundam 0080 had good - though not great - emotional impact, but there were some disappointing writing lapses that let the production down. I felt that the second half was much better than the first.

Well I voted, but when it went to the results screen it looks like no one has voted for any of them.
