I'm no Gundam expert at all, as 00 was the first Gundam I watched. After that I've watched most of the new ones out, I believe, though not Age. Unicorn was a decent Gundam series, to name one.

Reconguista is funny: It has a catchphrase of continue watching if you want to know what's going in. After 21 eps I still don't know what's going on. But it's quite smooth and entertaining all in all, if you turn half of your brain off before watching.
