Gundam SEED is amazing. It's starts so-so, but after ep 15 it gets incredible. And it all also has the best original soundtrack even in an anime (and it's the only good thing about destiny). And conserning destiny, the tv series is plain bad, but if you liked seed you might check the 4 movies that are not bad.

Gundam 00 is incredible too. It's not only about graphics, it has an inteligent story (except the end, but all of the rest of the series really keeps you hanged on what's going to happen), great characters, good ost, and amazing direction (the drama scenes are simply incredible). For me, the best gundam so far, although close to seed.

I wouldn't recommend watching the first gundam: MS gundam 0079. But instead, if you to want to know what happens in it and understand the gundam world (only for the older series, since all the new series, like wing, seed and 00 have their own paralel universe), there are also 3 movies that resume everything, making it way easier to watch.

After watching the 3 movies, you can watch the 3 series of ovas: 8th ms team, war in a pocket, and stardust operation, which are all good, and really worth wathcing.

Haven't seen wing, but i'll start it soon.

Finally, there's Zeta Gundam, the sequel to the first series. It's said to be the best one in term of story... but from what i've heard from a lot of friends, the production, characters and direction is too bad to make it enjoyable.

But, it began to stray from reality in the 2nd season. 8th MS Team was so damn realistic. No overpowered suits, no crybaby protagonist, just pure action. G Gundam is waaay to unrealistic. It is more like 'Super robots' genre rather than 'Real Robots'. And, if you like Wing, you'll probably gonna like the original MSG and all it's descendants.

Side notes: Don't just be a fanboy worshiping some bishie characters and godly overpowered suits. Take a look at it's storyline and storyline.

this!

This. Avoid Amino Domini as well(FYI its a cheap knock off of Gundam Wing)

I'd suggest that you try it out, and then see for yourself. Hearing from others will only give you a general idea, but the Gundam series are a bit weird. You really can't make any decision until you've seen it yourself.

Green light from me. Whether you hate it or love it, it's worth it.

If you are going to watch Gundam Wing, wich I don't particularly recommend, don't skip the movie... 'cause it is a very good movie.
