So I was a fan of Gundam all through high school (actually had all three of the movie hey made of the original series before I even heard Gundam Wing as coming to Cartoon Network, so I have street cred, yo). I've recently been thinking I'd like to see what they've done since Wing was made and to check out some of the new series.
My favorite stuff was everything in continuity with the original series, or those series fitting in the Universal Century timeline. I liked the continuity as well as the more militaristic, less superhero kind of stuff. My favorite Gundam series is the 08TH MS Team miniseries.
All that being said, what would come recommended as far as the recent Gundam series go? I understand that there's something called "SEED" and then the most recent series was just called "00 Gundam" and the latter is what I'm interested in from what I've read. 00 Gundam is available on Netflix so I was going to try it out that way. Anyone seen these and could give an opinion on if I'd like them before I queue (sp?) them up?
Also, anyone see the remake of Evangelion? I guess the DVD's are supposed to be released this fall for the first movie, so that's pretty cool. If anyone wants to recommend anything else based off the fact that I like giant robots with heavier themes, I'm all ears.
