MSG, 8th MS, 0080, 0083, Zeta, F91, Char's Counter Attack were brought over from UC saga. It's just missing Double Zeta and Victory Gundam (Victory is decent, esp later on... Zeta apparently gets better halfway through, once Tomino gets back on Directing duty... I'm only just before he comes back... so it's still... very kiddy) Both are full series and not OVA's like the three prior to Zeta or movies like F91/CCA. Which means there's a larger cost bringing them over, not to mention Gundam's popularity has wained to Cult status again (because of the Cartoon Network, G Fighter and the SEED series....)
From Alternate realities we got:
Wing (and Endless Waltz), G Fighter, SEED and Destiny. Three of the series are absolute crap with only SEED having some redeeming qualities..
Left out were X (which would have been a much better follow up to release after Wing, than G Fighter ever was), and Turn A (which believe it or not, is an AWESOME series... it's just not aimed at 15 year olds... so some ppl didn't like it).
North Am is getting 00 which is being shown on the Sci-Fi channel in the us (Fucking great idea to by-pass CN... as they are part of the reason for the demise of Gundam in north am) and YTV in Canada, though there's rumours of it also coming to Space....
Oh, and, while I try to forget it, we also got the CGI/Live action G Saviour movie... Don't watch it. You'll never get those 2 hours of your life back
But, unless there is a resurrgence of popularity of Gundam in north am, the best we'll get is the new series dubbed. The chances of the 4 missing pieces coming over as more than just strait subbed is slim to none. And I doubt they'll even get those. Which SUCKS, as X is bloody awesome.

SD Gundam, that is a franchise destroyer.
In gneral I enjoy many animie and then I see some and go "We have crap cartoons here... so why did they import one."
Personaly I didn't finish Seed, it was alright.
Gundam Wing would be my favorite after 8th MS team. I know its less realistic but it is an awsome character study. Each of the seven main characters representing difrent veiw points on war, or being difrent soldier types. Releena the (agresive) pacifist, Zeches being the war is a required evil, Troha being dead to emtion, Duo being go with the flow human, Wu Fei drawing power from emotions, Quatra being held back by emotions, and Heero representing the "ideal" soldier.
In adition it is also interesting to see how the role of leader moves around the series: first to Wu Fei, then Quatra, Releena, Heero, and back to Releena. Wing conceptualy kept me going and thinking, and is the only Gundam series to do so.
