Well, can't say that I ever expected Legend of the Galactic Heroes getting licensed, but it happened.
(spoilers: it's the 'corrupt-a-wish' version, since Sentai got the license. ha ha)
dragonbeast: Okay now that i finished 00 or the third time, anyone know what gundam series are good and what I need to watch before it?
Well, broadly speaking you've got your UC timeline main series, your UC spinoffs, the post UC series, and then the miscellaneous spinoffs.
The sequence of bread and butter UC series: MSG -> Zeta -> Double Zeta -> Char's Counterattack. These should probably be watched in that order if possible. There's also a late UC timeline series, Victory but I don't think there's as much continuity to worry about there.
Then there's the various UC spinoffs. 0080, 0083, the 8th MS Team, F91, Unicorn, Origination, etc.. Most of these are more standalone, with the exception of Unicorn (which I think ties in pretty heavily with Char's Counterattack), and Origination (which despite the name I think only covers a side part of the Origination remake)
Then there's the post-UC series - Turn A, X, and G-Reco. Though, not seeing the older UC series probably isn't a big deal matter since they're more or less post apocalyptic.
Pretty much all of the other spinoffs (G, Wing, 00, Seed, Build Fighters, etc.) are set in their own little continuity unless they're the sequel to a previous series so it shouldn't be hard to figure out.
As far as my opinions on the Gundam series I've watched:
MSG - pretty good for it's time, though you might want to watch the 0079 movies or read the Origination manga instead
Char's Counterattack - garbage
F91 - forgot pretty much everything about it
0080 - good, but a bit dry
00 - pretty average and accessible, despite a few problems like the series discarding the original concept of the series for more Gundam tropes (though you've already seen it)
G-Reco - garbage
Build Fighters - good, because it has some nice animation/fights and fanservice for earlier series, and because it doesn't try to hide the fact that it's a glorified toy commercial or fall into the trap of repeating the same Gundam tropes and patterns (as it falls more into merchandise driven series tropes instead).
Licurg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majestic_Prince_%28manga%29 Supposed to be one of the better mechas to come out in recent years, I've seen it in a couple of "top #" videos.
I remember it doing the CG pretty well, but the rest of the time the art/animation/everything else about it was pretty bland and bleh.
