I never really liked the original Gundams like zeta or original or ZZ or any of that. I know its the original but I started with Wing. Its incredibly hard to find any sort of way to watch the original gundam series despite it being so great as everyone seems to call it. Not to mention since the series itself is old the animation is dark and hard to make out especially the space battles. Also I find it difficult to take seriously when everyone in the show has the same damn perm haircut from the 70s...
Although Gundam Unicorn peaks my curiosity of the UC timeline... Atleast the animation quality is awesome because of leap in technology over the older ones.

But if there was ever an anime deserving of a sequel it would be Outlaw Star. I wish the Gundam SEED movie would be made too but thats almost like hoping against hope at this point.
