Gundam X, though Turn A is a close second.

>>14266651
Turn A.

If it doesn't count due to being a continuation of the UC, my favorite would be 00. A billion problems but I still enjoy it a lot.

Gundam 00 (all of it), with G/BF being close seconds. If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be that: it's the most "efficiently put together" entry in the franchise.

Also greatest love story ever told, but you already knew that.

This thread bring to mind a question: Why are AU's always tv series? A high effort/quality OVA AU could be pretty cool.
>>
>>14267953
Because they're cheaper to make.

Banco burns their money on UC OVAs because they know it will sell like crazy.

Still makes me sad. I like its design a lot more than the Quebeley.

How come its name is 'Bertigo' and not 'Vertigo'?

People keep saying Turn A but I always thought it was part of the Universal Century timeline, and thus not alternate universe, and now I am confused.
>>
>>14268372
Turn A is the unification of the Universal Century timeline, the After War timeline, the Future Century timeline, and the After Colony timeline. They all lead into it.

I absolutely love 00S1 despite it's shortcomings. S2 is mediocre as fuck though and the movie is one of the worst things i have ever watched.

Tossup between SEED, G, and GBF.

S2 is fine. In fact, I liked it just as much as S1. It has more of a traditional Gundam setting but is still an enjoyable ride throughout that's consistent with the story that's come before. The movie is a different beast altogether but, again, it makes sense in the context of the story which the series takes great pains to establish.

Honestly, I don't even see the show as separate seasons since each part complements the other and makes up for their individual shortcomings. It's really one big tale about how humanity "evolves" beyond its issues and starts venturing out into the space. Classic sci-fi plot very heavily inspired by Clarke and Asimov.
>>
I want to say all of 00, but god damn do I love BF season 1.
>>
>>14268869
Not really since many plot threads are left unresolved. Besides, S2 isn't even outright bad so much as seen as less ambitious than S1. I'd say just watch it and form your own opinion.
>>
>>14268758
>>14268982

This is just appalling.
>>
>>14266894
>it's the most "efficiently put together" entry in the franchise.

So it was the cheapest made entry? How is that a positive.
>>
>>14268372
It's both.

The Correct Century is the future of primarily the UC, but it also amalgamates the other AUs that existed at the time.

This is because Tomino thought it was a neat idea and doesn't make any sort of logical sense, and people who try to make it work are stupid.

Correct Century, or Future Century if we consider the fact that CC is every Gundam universe merged together.

Which, I might add was also cut down.

X is really cool, and if you follow the blatant clues, has a really, really kickass story about the fall of the Federation littered throughout it.

Also, Jamil is the best Gundam protag we'll never get to see a series of.

They show pictures of Fuunsaiki, Windmill Gundam, and Epyon in the show and refer to them as part of the Dark History. What else could it be?

Jesus, you delusional fags who say the Dark History isn't a combination are the pinnacle of the retards on /m/. Turn A even fucking means "For All," and there are more Gundam than just the UC.
