Blog Talkback: Gundam Week: Top 5 Gundam Series

Wing > 00? C'mon now. o.o

And I do hope that the OAVs, movies, or something are at least mentioned at the very least. It seems rather underwhelming that major parts of the Gundam mythos seem rather neglected. But can't complain about 00, G, Zeta, and the original though for what the list is worth.
 
Um....if I said "yeah" would that be weird...?

I really was just hoping one of the other lesser-talked about Gundams would be on the list and since ZZ, V and X weren't as good to me as the ones that were on there (save Wing), I was kinda hoping for Turn A, but whatever. It's not my blog.
 
My guess is the obvious stuff of non-licensed material (Turn-A, Victory) doesn't count, but also OVA's don't make the list because it's not a...tv series? Clarify this one, at least.
 
OVA's and movies were left out in this particular case. While they do involve Gundam's and whatnot, they are just a it too different to be compared to a series.
 
Seriously this is just getting stupid. You wanna real top five Gundams? Here you go...

5. V-Gundam
4. The 08th MS Team
3. 00
2. Zeta Gundam
1. 0080: War in the Pocket.

I win.
 
My list would look something like this...

5. Gundam Wing
4. 0083: Stardust Memory
3. Mobile Suit Gundam (Original)
2. Char's Counterattack
1. 08th MS Team

Gundam Unicorn will be on that list in due time, if the first episode is any indication.
 
Well, I've got to agree. Mainly for this:


00 especially at the start felt very repetitive and the gundams provded to be ridiculously overpowered and they seemed always to have some ace up the sleeves power up way too often. That and the show seemed to lack focus on the behind the scenes maneuverings I enjoyed in the other shows.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam is far less a serious show but for those that just want some fun mecha action the show delivers. Can't say I like it being in the top 5 but I'm pretty bias against it.


If OVA and movies where left out then that explains a lot. Perhaps we should have a separate list for them. But I suspect once Unicorn is done it will be one of my favorites.
