Just recently watched all of UC up until victory, the quality drop is pretty jarring and as much of a Gundam fan as I am I haven't gotten past the first 14 or so episodes. Zeta is the bomb, ZZ not so much but the closure from Zeta is nice.

Victory gets ok... but you pretty much nailed it. I actually think the side shots are the golden child, 0083 & 08th ms team hit hard.

Yea both of those are actually awesome as well. My favorite suit is actually the Kampfer. Both are really well written and very enjoyable. Sucks they're so short but maybe that's part of why they're so good.

Why leave out witch from Mercury? An amazing Gundam story imo

They're not including any Gundam shows from 2000 or later on that list.

WfM is top tier. Also good stuff not on that list: Iron Blooded Orphans, Gundam 00, and Gundam SEED.

They also skipped on the semi-canon-maybe-an-alternate-timeline prequel series Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, which is about Char's backstory. I'd recommend watching that one after the original Mobile Suit Gundam.
