I've picked up a fair few manga and other suchsorts in the Gundam multiverse, many of which I find myself being attached to probably as much, sometimes more, than the original source material in many ways, oops --? (Frozen Teardrop yaaaaaaay ~~~)
Major examples, hmm ...
G00F and G00P I'm really fond of, G00P probably more than the actual G00 anime despite having pieced together the contents from summaries and brute force (damnit Bandai you should have translated that one and not 00F even if I do love Fon) and despite G00-proper having Lockon in it ... but G00I is just ... it's from a stupid part of AD's timeline and written after Chiba fell into the crazy zone is all I can say about it >.>;;
I faaaaar prefer the various Astray series to actual SEED/SEED Destiny, oops. Except for VS Astray because what even the merciful godfuck was that o_x
And of course Gundam Wing Frozen Teardrop is absolutely amazeballs and if they ever ever actually do use it as a launchpad for something animated I will die of joy :D
On canonicity, that one gets weird, lol. Sunrise-Bandai likes to claim sometimes that absolutely nothing but what is animated is canon, but then you get things like Red Frame in SEED's OP ~~ And that pretty much the entirely of G00's background hinges on 00P. Things like that. (but especially Red Frame because that shit's hilarious and I sometimes sweat bullets overwonder what might have been if Astray stuff had actually been in the anime ...)
