Meh, IIRC G was one fo the first step away from the Universal Century Stories. The concept is a bit goofy - but it actually has a good plot.

Wing had an idiotic plot with a ton of warped philosophical garbage. What it did good was animation, music and a rehash of UC and G-Gundam designs.

Seed is a retelling of UC with worse mecha design and even worse characters. 00 is wing with the same issues.

Age has been "meh" so far, character styling has been a high-point.

But lets face it, none of these shows are "serious". They are 22 minute commercials for Bandai to sell us new merchandise and model kits.

I think UC, WING(after colony? I don't remember.), and 00 are attempting to address real issues in an underdeveloped art form.

WING and 00 are the same basic frame work from the opposite perspective. Freedom fighters fighting for independence vs terrorists fighting to destabilize the world for their own ends. I think 00 does a better job of this, for the most part. I would love to see another in this style but done much much more serious.



Yes they are selling kits but some turn it into a mecha of the week fest.
