Well... I'm far from an expert in that horrible Sailor Moon anime, so I'll just take your word for it.

And yes there are quite a few Gundam series... scratch that, there are a lot of them.

There's the first one "Mobile Suit Gundam" which is a true classic of anime history and also very good. Then there are it's sequal series "Gundam Zeta" and "Gundam ZZ". They don't quite reach the predecessor in terms of story, though they look a lot better (small wonder considering the age of the original from 1980). That particular timeline (the Universal Century) also spawned a number of smaller side-series like the "8th MS Team" and "Gundam Unicorn" both of which are great and the the movie "Char's counterattack" which was a bit meh from trying to pack the story of what was originally supposed to be a 24 episode series into a single movie.

My favourite out of the franchise though is Gundam 00. Unlike Wing or the original, this one is tied closely to our reality, still retaining our calender and dealing with many problems we have today, like middle-eastern oil and religious conflics, political pressure between USA and South America and such. And unlike all the other Gundam series, this one has three big terrestial factions rather than the "usual" Space Colonies vs. Earth setup. The movie that concludes the story is a bit odd, but still quite enjoyable. This one also has a terrific soundtrack.

Gundam SEED is also quite nice, though back in the colony vs. earth camp, but this time with a bit of racism since the colonies are mostly populated by genetically enhanced so called "Coordinators". Unfortunately the sequel Gundam SEED Destiny was a bit of a letdown compared to the predecessor. One of the main characters is just so obnoxious, stupid and self-righteous that I just want to slap him silly before strangling him... which isn't a good thing, since we are supposed to emphasize with main chars, not hate their guts.

There are also Victory Gundam, Gundam AGE, Mobile Fighter G Gundam, ∀ Gundam (also known as "Turn a Gundam"), After War Gundam X and Gundam Build Fighters, but I haven't seen them, so I can't say anything about them and a few of which I don't remember the name, including some really weird series drawn entirely in chibi-style where the Mobile Suits are living beings and the Zakus are evil invading aliens. oO
