How could you not be impressed by the main UC story line, especially Zeta and Char's CA. It felt much more epic than any other series, except the original SEED...that's a close 2nd. The battles seemed more realistic too.

As for other UC series, i've seen 08th(awesome), 0083(pretty good until the ending eps), and F91(series turned into a movie...bad). I still have to see 0080 and Victory.

As for Wing, I agree with some of what PTX-003C said...mainly about realism, but I did enjoy the series and ova(I own them both)

This is hard to explain. The first thing that comes to mind, is that overall the characters in 0079 were by far the most annoying (I'm not saying there aren't annoying characters in others, its just almost every single character in 0079). With Zeta the main character, Kamille Bidan, was by far the most annoying character I've seen in any Gundam (with the exception of the children in 0079). I've been haveing to force myself to sit through Zeta.

I don't think this is a primary reason, but it could contribute. 0079 was the first UC series I saw, but it was the 5th Gundam series. I saw G Gundam, Wing, SEED, and X before I saw any UC.

Also the whole Colony Drop idea just seems rediculous. I'd seen it before and it seemed to get carried out repeatedly in UC. I did appreciate that at least in Char's CA they dropped a meteor rather then a colony. I mean Colonies require a great deal of supplies to build, and they are where the people in space live.

Another thing, I don't care the slightest bit about realism in Sci-Fi. I go into it looking for the most outrageous, unrealistic technology there is. If you think about it Submarine's, Space Travel, and even flight were once considered to be the idea's of mad men. You never know when a scientist will be inspired by something that isn't "realistic" to make it real.

Yeah I didn't enjoy 0079 until they went back in space(last 10-15 episodes), and I didn't like most of the characters(stupid english voice actors).
Kamille becomes a much better character as the series progresses(especially after being "corrected" so many times, and his experiences with Four).
Colony Drops were an awesome/creepy idea. Considering how ther aren't any asteroids in earth's orbit it's kinda hard to use any other massive object. Plus there were hundreds/thousands of colonies and they most likely used older/abbandoned ones. Plus the asteroid in Char's CA was a colony/minig facility.
For realism i mainly meant how they always seemed to repair and re-arm themselves so quickly when they didn't have any support most of the time.
