Gundam is like the capeshit of anime.

It's not the only long running series to do this and if its entertaining then whats the problem? There are far worse things affecting anime.

SEED and 0079 are remarkably similar until Andy "dies"

I've been wanting to get into gundam for a while now, should I start with reading Origin first?

No. Watch 0079 before you read Origin.

Pretty sure SEED was openly inspired by 0079. It just, y'know, sucks.

Anyway, most Gundam series are pretty different from the others - at least the ones that are typically held in high regards. Even 0079, Zeta, and ZZ - direct continuations of the same story - have very different tones and stories. Yeah, there are some themes and motifs that show up more than once, but that's pretty much inevitable when you've got so many series and OVAs.

The only time I could really see this applying is when you look at the designs of the Gundams themselves, which do tend to have a bunch of elements in-common across the different settings.
