Turn A Gundam, an old 1999 Gundam anime that has never landed anywhere other than Japan. If you ask a veteran of the series, they would likely say that the older series of the franshise have better plot, development, and greatly likeable characters. Just look at Loran Cehack, the main character is wide eyed character full of life. Turn A Gundam is also one of the last Gundam directed works of Yoshiyuki Tomino, so because of that, many fans may say that the franchise should have ended at this series.

 It’s unlikely Bandai will ever publish it, same with Gundam ZZ, Gundam V, Gundam X, and the other OVA’s, manga, or moives. They’re old, fanboys already watched them, won’t likely sell well in the US, and some even didn’t appeal well to Japan’s audiences, for example, one had more human like mech designs. Gundam is fairly known, but not that popular. With Gundam Seed’s poor CG animation, poor dubbing, Hisashi Hirai character designs, and emo characters that lead to awkward animated .gif images, it only hurts.

Maybe Turn A Gundam wasn’t lisenced because of the nude swim part in the first episode.
