Gundam's...IN SPAAAACCCEEEEEEEE

Have you tried any of the older Gundam series yet? If you like military history, the Universal Century series should be to your liking, and in my opinion they're far superior to Wing in almost every aspect.

If you're interested, I'd recommend starting with the first series (my favorite anime and the peak of the series) and watching on from there in production order.

Keep in mind that the Universal Century series all take place in the same universe and have connections. I wouldn't recommend watching them out of production order. Also, I'd only recommend watching the compilation movies after you've seen their respective series. You don't get the same amount of character development from the movies, and in the case of the Zeta Gundam movies, they have a different ending that ruins the original's tone.

Production Order:

Mobile Suit Gundam (Series: 1979; compilation movies: 1981–1982)

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Series: 1985; compilation movies: 2005-2006)

Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam (series: 1986)

Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack (movie: 1988)

Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket (OVA: 1989)

Mobile Suit Gundam F91 (movie: 1991)

Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory (OVAs: 1991; compilation movie: 1992)

Mobile Suit Victory Gundam (Series: 1993)

Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team (OVAs: 1996, compilation movie: 1998)

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn (OVAs: 2010)

You can download most of the series on BakaBT. Just search Gundam. Keep in mind you need to make an account, which is free.

Oh, and one more thing. The original, 1979 series also has a manga that was written and illustrated by the series' character designer and lead animator, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. It's called Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, and Vertical, Inc. has recently began releasing it in the West. Honestly, Origin is not just a great retelling of the original series, but also an amazing manga. If you're interested, volume one is currently available and preorders are available for volumes two through four. There should be around 12 volumes in total.

Here are the links for the manga on Amazon:
