Well, I finished 0079 today. I actually really enjoyed the series. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it was super fun, had an interesting story, and it's really obvious how influential the series was. I really liked the parts where Amuro connected with his newtype powers and it got all 2001: A Space Odyssey with the colors and everything. It also reminded me of my favorite bits of Evangelion - it's nice to see where they (probably) came from.

As for watch order, I think I'm going to watch 0080 next, and then follow production order moving forward. I recommend sticking as close to production order as possible for both Star Wars and Metal Gear, with slight flexibility to move a few around, so I don't see why I should treat Gundam any differently.
