Other than that the only non-UC thing I'd really say is a must-watch is Wing, but I'm probably ignorant of at least one or two others that are probably worth it.
Can't say I agree with this, to be honest. Wing is good but not great. Episode 30-40 is BRUTAL to get through. Treize is a top tier character, but Zechs is a pretty forgettable Char Clone.
There are definitely better AUs, most notable of which is Turn A (though opinion IS divided on it. I'll be the first to admit that while it is an amazing show, it's not a very good GUNDAM show. Watch it and you'll understand what I mean by that). 00 is pretty interesting as well since it has a very distinct post-9/11 feel to it. And honestly, I've been enjoying AGE a lot.
Really, the only AU I can't recommend is Seed and Seed Destiny. For some reason its the most popular Gundam series in Japan, but man they're pretty bad.
Its a modern take on Gundam. In a world where the majority of wars have a major guerilla component, WING has a more relevant structure than earlier gundams in terms of HOW its war is fought.
And yeah AGE has been trending upwards on my Gundam list, currently just behind the original, F91, Unicorn, Zeta, and 0083. Just ahead of Wing.
