    New Sunrise (i.e. Code Geass was equally colourful). As for Kira, I was indifferent for the most part but he grew on me later on.

    I've seen Gundam Wing though I can't remember much of what actually happens in it, the Gundam 00 series and am currently following Gundam Unicorn. Favourite out of them would be 00.

    If anyone feels up to watching twenty minutes of corporate puff, the Gundam AGE press conference is up on YouTube here, with English subtitles (click the closed captions button).

    Key points shamelessly copied from the relevant thread on /m/:

    -Confirmed for running for a straight year. If the [rumour] about [Kyoukai Senjou no] Horizon is true, Sunrise will have two 4-cour shows airing at the same time (technically three if Gintama doesn't end any time soon)

    [...]

    -The subject of the show looking like it is aimed "at children" is brought up. The target however seems to be "everybody who likes Gundam", appealing to adults who haven't watched Gundam in a while as well as the longtime hardcore fans.

    -A small hint that the UE are more than just simple invaders is given

    -The focus will seriously be on generations. There will be a child's look on war, then a father with his child and a grandfather with his children as well as the outlook of the children themselves. (referring to the three protags and how they will grow up through the 100 year war)

    -"Perspective" of war is also a focus. Gundam's serious examination of war will be an important mainstay.
    Obviously this is what they're saying, not necessarily what's actually the case.

    One of the speakers points out that it's been two and a half years since 00. It's been that long already? Damn.

    Also if you care to read the comments you can witness the frontier of our civilisation's descent into barbarism. I'd forgotten how bad YouTube comments sections are.

    Crunchyroll has Gundam Wing, as well as a few others (such as the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta and 00).

    SEED was my first contact with Gundam, and I still have this kind of sneaking affection for it. (Hearing 'Invoke' brings a rush of nostalgia.)

    Will be interesting to hear what you think of Flay when you're finished with it.

    Is it official Gundam Wing manga you're after? Um I've only read the Episode Zero one that has the origin stories........

    If its Gundam Wing yaoi on the other hand, I'm sure I could list a few titles if you tell me what pairing :mmm:

    If you have to ask, yaoi is clearly not what you're after :giggle:

    Regarding the manga - Episode Zero is the only one I've read & its a prequel to the main series; good to get the origin stories, but not really full of action.

    The others are mainly missions set in between the series end and the Endless Waltz OVA, but I haven't read them so can't comment on how good the stories are.

    Haven't read much Gundam manga at all actually, mainly because I prefer to see my explosions and giant robots animated.
