After War Gundam X
Zeta Gundam
Gundam Wing + movie
Gundam SEED
Gundam SEED: Destiny (wich sucked cock)
Gundam 00 (Most realistic one, untill 00Raiser halfway s2 and the particle mode stuff)
Code Geass
Nothing beats Wing Zero custom in my book.

Funny... have you ever traced out the time line for Gundam and its popularity? Have you ever noticed that the most popular ones are always the one to come out after a real war? I think that alone speaks volume about the quality of the series, and how the producers actually inject meaningful messages into those.
The original Gundam, needless to say, addresses WWII. I believe Gundam Wing is around Gulf War era. SEED must have been around 911. Note how Destiny sucks. And 00 is clearly the War on Terror (hell, they even included that in the anime itself). Similarly, season 2 of Gundam00 lost that charm as well.
That's part of why I think Gundam is a different beast from most anime. Sure, there are quite a lot that are centered around philosophical discussion, and even more that are just senseless (yet fun). But not that many anime are commentaries of real world events.
ps. Anyone here watched Dai Guard?

At best I can tolerate mecha.
Gurren Lagann was fine I guess, Full metal Panic was tolerable just for fumoffu XD, Code geass it was actually decent when they were using the things as pawns in a chess game. But generally a mecha will put me off an anime.

I always interpreted it as a parody of both mecha anime and its fans, but I could be wrong. Nevertheless, I still count it among my favorite animes.olicon said:
I thought this was going to be a topic on how awesome Megus XLR was.
Anyway I like some giant robot anime, Megus XLR was my favorite (even though it was made in America).

Both of those there are great, and I wish there was more of them to watch.RavingPenguin said:
In my opinion, there's nothing better than giant stompy robots stomping on smaller things and fighting other giant stompy things, like aliens, monsters, or other robots. And this opinion is not changed by the TYPE of giant stompy robot. I love anime mecha, or BattleTech 'Mechs.
If it's big, and stompy, and a robot, it's awesome.
