Zeta Gundam is the best show.

Personally I think the best Gundam anything is the original series movies. I find the pacing and storytelling of 0079 in the movie edits to be fantastic, hits hard with all the filler from the original series cut.

That said of the other century series, Gundam Wing is probably the most fun. It's so over the top and ridiculously 90s while also telling a weird mashup version of the original show through Char's Counterattack. It's probably covers most of what makes Gundam "Gundam" for a beginner.

Not even close.

Gundam Wing deserves credit for making mecha popular in the U.S. but it was not great. I watched it again a couple years ago and I saw a lot of new problems I obviously didn't care about as a kid.

08th MS Team is vastly superior. Gundam Zeta is also superb. War in the Pocket and the original are good too.

If you like Mecha you should watch Macross/Robotech and then watch Macross Plus.

Gundam Wing was pretty good, but there are better Gundam series.

Zeta Gundam and 00 are my favorite series
8th MS Team and Gundam Unicorn are great OVAs.

Zeta is amazing. I also really like 0079 even though it doesn't get as much love. 00 is great as well, especially for something newer.

Gundam Wing was never the best...as others said but I liked it. It was good for when I was a kid and it got me into Gundam.

I'm surprised Zeta has a following on CE. It used to on the Gundam board, but that seems to have changed and it's easy to see why. It's not bad, but damn, at least half of it is unneeded filler, it should've been a 15-20 ep series at most.

It's good for nostalgia and mecha designs but the story is pretty boring. And let's be honest the stories for most Gundam series are incredibly boring and filled with political b.s. Thunderbolt and iron blooded orphans are my favorite. Intense action and savagery with likeable characters all around.

Thunderbolt is indeed one of the highest quality series, but I liked moving from original gundam into Zeta and seeing all the improvements in drawing and animation, even in the mech technology, then when they went to ZZ and furthr into the char movie.

Wing has always been bad but the mechs look really fucking cool.

Kira and Shin being worse.

Seed is best because it has the best Gundam character ever: Kira "Jesus" Yamato. He acts all nice and friendly with you, but when your back is turned, he'll bang your fiancee. And come on. Flay was a crazy racist bitch; you know there was no love there. Kira just wanted to give her the old bang 'n boot.

I want to get into the anime since I remember Wing when I was a kid and I collected the models, but I have no idea where to start. Not to mention I don't think any of the streaming services have any of them.

There are various places you can start in the Gundam Universe. Personally, I'd start with the main timeine, the Universal Century arc.

Chronological list:

1. Orgin
2. IGLOO
3. Mobile Suit Gundam (or the three movies if you don't want to sit through 50 episodes)
4. 08th MS Team
5. 0080 War in Pocket
6. Thunderbolt
7. 0083 Stardust Memory
8. Zeta (There are three movies if you can't stand Kamille's constant bitching and moaning for 50 episodes)
9. Double Zeta or ZZ
10. Char's Counterattack
11. Unicorn
12. Twilight Axis
13. F91
14. Victory or Gundam V
15. G-Savior (Avoid this at all costs)

All together there are 220+ episodes to wade through.

Offshoot Gundams In order I like them:

1. 00 Gundam 50 episodes
2. Turn A Gundam 50 episodes
3. Iron Blooded Orphins 50 episodes
4. G Gundam 49 episodes
5. Gundam Wing 49 episodes
6. Gundam X 39 episodes
7. SEED 48 episodes
8. SEED Destiny 50 episodes
9. AGE 49 episodes
10. Reconguista in G 26 episodes
11. SD
12. Builders

I still like Gundam Wing. It has a few of my favorite Gundam Mobile Suits.

Tallgeese, Sandrock, Wing Zero, Epyon, and Heavyarms were my favorites. I've never been a fan of the Endless Waltz redesigns, except maybe the Tallgeese III.

I also really like the Zephyranthes Full Burnern, Gouf Custom, Nu Gundam, Sazabi, and 00 Gundam.

My favorite mecha still come from Super Robot Wars: Original Generations. Alteisen, Weissriter, Dygenguar, Aussenseiter, Gespensts, Grungusts, Soulgein, Thrudgelmir, Cybuster, SRX, and even the Gundam-clone Huckebein.

Tomino didn't make Wing. His depression has affected series like Zeta and Victory though IIRC
