So, we all know that Gundam is the "War ain't nothin' but a heart ache" of anime, but what is the most Anti-War gundam out there? I mean in terms of showing how horrifying and generally unpleasant it is?

Thunderbolt's first season is up there even with the mentally unstable MC and the gratituous mecha porn.

None of them are horrifying or unpleasant.
They fights are all cool as FUCK
Even War in the Pocket still glorifies war, despite the hamfisted attempt at a antiwar ending.

War in the Pocket is in my opinion the one who best present an anti-war message. Kid who thinks that wars is cool and stuff learns in the hard way about how it is to lose someone you like in a totally futile fight.

I'd place my bets on Victory

Stargazer.
The fact that the main Gundam of the OVA isn't even a war machine but rather a tool for exploration is one of the simplest yet greatest things that OVA did.
The message of Gundam is always about how war is bad, yet the gimmick that pulls the viewers in are the titular mecha which are war machines.
Stargazers flips that around by making the Gundam a symbol and achievement of human advancement rather than our faults.
