Mobile Suit Gundam Wing

Wing was one of the first gundam animes I watched. To me it is one of those old shows that had it problems but was still good and i would watch it again if I have time. Gundam wing is in the top three of all he gundam shows i have watch. The main character is a emo person like a lot of main gundam characters but that didn't brother me but i think he needs a Bright Slap.The story for me was pretty straightforward didn't find it too confusing. Only parts were where i was like "how did that happen, What the.." there is not too many problems with it. Since i know i can't really do better i don't want to say anything bad about it(not like there is much bad things o say about it) it is still good. The music was good, animation were good enough for me. I would say to any gundam fan to watch it and if they don't like it then whatever I liked it.

As the story goes in play, the main Gundam pilots could of gave more of a history in the reasons why they are fighting. Wu Fei at the end, his reason was brought up. Yet for the other characters, they were sent to stop OZ that yet had nothing to do with the Colony. Maybe it was the interaction of the Gundams that made OZ go for the Colonies. If they did show like a ep of all 5 pilots reasons to fight instead of the 2 episodes of past review of Trieze and Relena. If they did show it, then maybe I can be able to grasp the whole fight was about.

Overall, I love how the power shifts throughout the whole series. It was not just one person or group holding power and dominating. One thing I did notice that, even though the war was set in the future, all war is usually done for conquest for power and rule of governing. That is the whole history of earth. As they said, war does not benefit at all.

Last note, WHO MADE GUNDAM WING ZERO? Was it Trieze, since he had Epyon that has the same computer setting as Wing Zero. Only thing that still makes me wonder.

After being recommended by scores of people, I decided to give Gundam Wing a chance, and I was not let down. While Gundam Wing has plenty of giant robot action, it delivers in terms of story and characters. Granted the story can be confusing at times, and may need a second or third glance.
The plot was compelling, and it was all to easy to get caught up watching multiple episodes in a sitting, and the ending of the series leaves you wanting more, but not disappointed.

The main characters interactions and stories are usually well thought out, and the absurdity of some of the characters make them shine. I do wish the characters could have been expanded on more, mainly their past. However, this does not subtract anything from the anime, because a lot of episodes have battle sequences to make up for those questions you have bouncing around in your head.

Even though Gundam Wing is guilty of reusing scenes, I do not find this a bad thing, as it is not always obvious, and isn't as frequent as other animes. Besides the reuse of certain scenes, Gundam Wing is extremely beautiful in terms of animation.
The character designs while sometimes very WEIRD, almost seemed on purpose, one character that comes to mind, later in the series, has such a detestable look and voice, you almost hate her instantly. I'm left to speculate on whether or not it was the intent of the creator.

Gundam Wing is an anime for the ages, it has and will stand the test of time. I can't wait to share Gundam Wing with my children, nephews and nieces.

Most of us saw this when it was first aired thought it was a great show and it is. It has a good storyline that will keep you watching all night. The sound I can't give top review for only because it just cant match the standards we are use to in modern day anime. Besides that music matched the show amazingly and its one of the few shows I would buy the sound track for. The characters although very little change among the gundam pilots the support characters are very well developed. The animation gets repetitive but does not distract from the awesomeness of the show. In my opinion this show fairs well for its age and has set the bar high for everything else that has come. You can re watch this show 2-3 or more times and still enjoy as if it was your first.

From its origins till now Gundam has been an influential force and one of the biggest reason for growth and interest in the mecha genre and its popularity in North America began with Gundam Wing. I remember seeing this series on Tv when I was around 5. Undeniable it has one of the Best OPs ^^. And brought many people to mecha fandom along with the later series Gundam Seed and its successor Gundam Seed Destiny.

Onto the review of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.

Gundam Wing is a great series overall with a strong storyline and good animation considering it was first produced as one of the first translated series for airing in North America it helped to spur an increased interest in anime. Airing on tv stations like YTV helped bring the series a whole entire demographic of fans. Helping to bring forth a new generation of anime fandom that keeps growing to the present day. As a series the storyline brings forth a classic tale that covers human nature as a whole and encompasses you into the storyline as you experience the journey. This series reminds me of my past and I am sure it reminds others as well and I wonder if those artists and graphic designers in there enclave in Japan with udon and rice had fun making it all those years back. Looking at it now Relena may be among one of the first tomboys in anime.

The soundtrack is good from calm violins in episode 4 to the epitaph in episode x the series keeps you interested at all times with smooth transitions, the drama of 7 among the many other episodes that keep you addicted and watching.

As a classic to a great genre it makes an excellent series from the first time or the tenth time for any anime fan looking for a classic 5/5 Stars

This anime, Gundam Wing, was the first anime to ever get me to thinking. Sure, at the same time as this aired I was watching Digimon Adventure and Pokemon, but those were aired as Saturday Morning entertainment fodder. I first saw Gundam Wing ten years ago when Toonami was just getting off the ground, and watching it again on this site just brought back all sorts of memories.

But a review is about the merits of the show, not the reviewer's background.

The storyline is convoluted, twisting and turning and dragging its poor characters in directions that when I first watched it was hard to take it all in. Most of the story, I'll admit, has been colored by the multitudes of fanfictions out there exploring the series through other points of view. I was actually a bit frightened to watch the show again, knowing that it would inevitably be different than what had built up in my mind. But there we go with those background thins again. The show's plot twists kept me guessing throughout and, as an aspiring writer, I can appreciate the sort of hand it would take to craft these sorts of details. That is why I rated the storyline a 5.

Music... meh. Aside from the openings, not much of the music appealed to me. It was more catchy and upbeat than what you usually hear, but it was just a bit generic-sounding in my opinion. Contradicting that, however, the music ends up ultimately identifiable. You listen to it long enough and all it takes is a few notes for you to be thinking back on this series fondly. That's why I rated the music a 2.5

Characters next. Where to begin? The characters in this show have affected my life profoundly, the way their personalities meshed and clashed but ultimately complemented each other's weaknesses and faults. After debating between Heero, Duo, and Quatre I ultimately decided on Duo as a suitable role model, even going so far as to grow my own hair to emulate him. His attitude was just so darn appealing, devil may care but all the while completely serious underneath it all. I've even grown to appreciate Wufei, despite his initial views on women (and who knows, maybe he doesn't change them? I'm only on episode 43, after all). And outside of the main Gundam pilots there are admirable and well-rounded characters. Sally especially stood out in her speech to Wufei about why weak people fight too. And Relena... I will admit I was among the cadre that vehemently despised her. But, despite her portrayal in the show, it was the ending that made me see beyond the Heero-chasing, stubborn pacifist I had seen her as before. In the ending sequence she's playful, tugging on a rhino's tail and smirking gleefully.. One might argue that, as an independent ending sequence this might not reflect her personality, but I would disagree. It added another level of depth to an already deeply rendered personality. All of these factors led me to rate the characters highly, a 5.

The animation... it has its ups and downs. When it's up it's wonderful, breathtaking to look at, but when it's down it's at the bottom. Comparing it to animes released recently it might not stack up to much visually, but for the time it was an awesome bit of film. However... I'm spoiled to the cleaner, more detailed look of anime today. That's why I rated it a 3.5

Overall, it fell just shy of a full score. The music and the sometimes lackluster animation quality were detrimental to its outsanding plot and characters. All things considered, I'd have to give it a 4.5

Gundam Wing is probably the first Gundam series that most people outside of Japan have seen. To me, this is the first. This made mecha anime popular to viewers especially to kids. The concept of having gundams with different "specialties" and abilities made its distinction from the other Gundam series. There's a gundam that packs the heavy artillery, a gundam that's more close-combat oriented, and a gundam that can obliterate big floating objects in space!! You could see the comparisons with this series and 00. Like in most, if not all, gundam series, there's war involved in the storyline. Also, the characters in Gundam Wing, mainly the pilots, have things they share in common like their primary goal against OZ and attitudes of being cold, emotionless, and having a dark side in them. And there always has to be a fella with a mask. To those who have never seen this before, you will notice quite a lot of scenes that look like it's already been used and just repeated. You may find this funny or give you negative opinions about the animation but it is good back in the day so bear with it! If you haven't seen this yet then you better watch it now!

Gundam Wing is an involving tale that follows the missions of five Gundam Pilots. Heero, Duo, Trowa, Wu Fei, and Qautra face off against the Alliance and OZ military in an effort to free the colonies from their tyranny. Each piloting their own unique Gundams they are given unique orders and work separately from another to achieve their final goal.

Of the Gundam series this is by far one of the best. With a unique story that follows five individuals instead of a single unit it lets you get to know all of the characters unique traits and quirks. The dialog is also very compelling and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The action is thrilling and filled with suspense. One of the best titles in the later 90's.

This is an anime that tears away the concealing fabrics of the base of human nature, and shows it for all to see. The wide variety of characters and ever-changing bonds between them is fascinating and intriguing. The art, while it rings of the more older and completely hand-drawn style, is detailed and convincing and adds to the series instead of taking away. This was my first mecha anime, and I do not regret. It remains by favorite, even if I watched a couple few. On a side note, I'm a female teenager. So, if there are any ones out there who think this is "old-fashioned" or "too boy-ish" (for some reason), be prepared to be blown away! There is more than just fighting here! ^_^

Gundam Wing . . . ah one of my all time top favorite anime not to mention the first anime to watch since it came out in what 1995/97? I would say I was 4 or 5 when I first watched and didn't miss one episode it was awesome! Especially Relena O.O! Also still love watching the episodes again! he-he.
I love the opening and ending theme songs they're the best!
As episodes pass by Relena is more curious about Heero then eventually things stir up between them more like romantic feelings aha so awesome and cute! I also like Duo's humor and attitude bah-ah xD
Overall I would recommend people to watch this series or buy it totally worth it~! Totally beats Gundam Seed/Destiny even though the animation is out there but still better than it mwahah!
