I have seen every gundam series ever made and I have to say this is my favorite. Not to badmouth the other ones but I got sick to death of watching 12 year olds pilot mobile suits better than the veteran mobile suit pilots, like seed, seed destiny, zz, gundam x, just to name a few. This is also one I think they did an excellent job with the english voice acting. Despite being a short series it is right to the point and actually has a lot going on and does not have to rely on entire episodes dedicated to recapping what has happened so far. Not only that but skill as a pilot plays a large role in how good the pilots are, not just anyone with a gundam is unbeatable except by a newer model gundam. Also the gundams are not ten times more advanced than the normal mobile suits, this makes things a bit more realistic, sure they are significantly better mobile suits but a lot of the other gundam shows make me think "if your country can build a gundam why the hell are all the rest of your pilots piloting zakus?"
