Summary: an anime for non-anime lovers
Review: I knew this anime was for me when i saw it first on cartoon network. i thought, "ok, this is cool, maybe i should get into something besides Pokemon..." because i'm one of the biggest pokemon fan u'll ever meet. well, anyways, i was started to get into this gundam wing thing, and i told my friend, and now she's REALLY into it! her fav. person is Heero Yuy and mine is: Quatre! He is 2 cute! I got operation 1 for DVD, and it is great! you can change the subtitles, and the langage and stuff. i would want anyone to but this! it's got great eps. and graghics, and unlike the cartoon on CN, it is uncut: that means they swear more, and there is more blood and stuff. it doesn't really affect the content, but i don't think it is suitable for kids under 12. have fun!

Summary: An Anime NOT to be missed!
Review: Okay, most of you would probably be asking "What is so good about this anyway? It's just another one of those Anime with gigantic robots. What's new?" Well, you're both wrong AND right. Most of the time, the episodes focus itself on the fights between the mobile suits (in this case, the Gundams and the OZ troops). But later as you get more into the series, you get to know more about the character rather than just the fights. Their past, their feelings, and that sort of things. For example, Gundam Wing Episode Zero talks about each of the pilot's past and how they became what they are. I used dislike Anime that are in the 'big robot' genre, just short of hating them. GW is the only one that attracts my attention and HELD it there. All in all, I think you should take a look. Who knows, maybe it's your cup of tea! ~.^

Summary: Gundam Wing -- Excellent DVD but NOT for children
Review: Gundam Wing is a well crafted anime series about love, politics, war and mondo cool, big, honkin' robots. In fact, 20 years ago, the original Gundam series nearly invented the giant robot craze.Gundam Wing is one of my favorite series in the genre. The artwork and animation are top notch -- considering it is a television series. It's violent at times and the DVD contains some language that is not very appropriate for your little ones. Keep this in mind when ordering -- which I think you should do if you like anime. One DVD feature I especially appreciate is the ability to hear the Japanese soundtrack with English subtitles. I don't know why, but the dialogue seems to make more sense this way. If you dislike subtitles, fear not. The DVD defaults to the English dub. as seen on Cartoon Network in the US. I've analyzed the DVD and I've found the publisher did some trickery to fit five episodes on a single layer disc. If you step through the disc frame-by-frame you'll notice that every other frame is fairly heavily compressed. The net result is static shots look near perfect while pans, dollies and moving objects tend to exhibit more aliasing and motion artifacts than they would on an analog NTSC source. These artifacts, however, are not distracting and the disc is very watchable. On a properly set-up monitor, you should not notice any pixelization, posterization or other decompression noise. I could not find any such artifacts on my 36 inch Toshiba monitor via S-Video -- and I was looking for it. Overall, this DVD is well produced. Personally, I'd like to see four episodes per DVD -- resulting in less compression. But frankly, the publisher produced a near perfect product to begin with -- and I am way too picky for my own good.

Summary: Gundam Wing- Excellent Anime Series
Review: The year is After Colony 195. Mankind has begun a new life in space colonies. But the United Earth Sphere Alliance gains great military power. Soon, they begin to take control of one colony after another,in the name of Justice and Peace. But rebel citizens of some colonies plan to bring new arsenals to Earth, disguising them as shooting stars,to fight the Alliance threat. Gundam Wing is centered on the heroic exploits of five young men fighting for freedom. The main characters are Heero Yuy (Japanese), Duo Maxwell (American), Trowa Barton (French), Quatre Winner (Arabic), and Chang Wufei (Chinese). {Wufei is his first name, but in China, family name comes first.} The series is extremely good. I would recommend this for 13+. There is some violent content, depending on how you look at it. Also, the series contains Yaoi hinting (Male/Male relationships) between Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell, as well as Trowa Barton and Quatre Winner. The It is not displayed so that a child could understand it, a teenager would be able to pick it up because of the level of maturity. Gundam Wing contains a lot of fighting between robot suits, so blood is replaced by explosions. I hope you will enjoy this show. It is excellent

Summary: Very Good Gundam Series
Review: After all these years, they finally brought Gundam over to the states! I fondly remember watching the original Mobil Suit Gundam series back in 1979 - 80 in Japan but ,after my father got transferred over to the states, I've been stuck watching the occasional video sent from Japan and the 'net....until now :) The story is typical Gundam fare, pretty deep, but a bit confusing 'till a bit later on in the series. Characters are good with good development as the series moves on and the quality of the animation is amazing to say the least. I just hope they continue to bring more of the series over to the US. Maybe not air it but at least release them on DVD (I watch it in Japanese so it's nice on DVD). Oh, and finally...in the Japanese version, they pronounce Quatre as Ka-To-Ru....so I wouldn't worry too much on the "correct" pronounciation. For all we know, they picked that name because the spelling looked cool...

Summary: Gundam Wing Rules!
Review: Gundam Wing is definately the coolest show I've ever seen, anime or otherwise. The plot is really cool and the machines are so awesome. Gundam Deathscythe kicks! All the characters are really cool and you find out more about them as you go along. Go Gundam Boys! (Quatre has cool hair.)

Summary: Death Scythe Rocks!
Review: I've found Gundam Wing to be one of the best Anime on TV today. The action is constant and keeps you in suspense. But, I must disagree with some of the other reviewers. Quatre's name is pronounced "Katra" which is french for "four." And the voice actor for Duo is David Kaye, who's also done voices for Ronin Warriors, Beast Wars, and Beast Machines.

Summary: It beats DBZ
Review: The first time I ever heard about Gundam Wing, I was clueless. Then when I saw the promo on Cartoon Network for the first time, it raised an eye brown. When I finally saw it that first day it was aired, I had to pick my jaw up from the ground! I was blown away by this anime show, it amazed me that an anime that was made in the 70/80's could be this good. Human beings from earth want to live more peaceful lives. They build five colonies up in space and live peacfully under the ruler Heero Yuy. When HY was assasinated by some unknown organazation, communucation cease between the colonies and this was the reason for strengthening the government power on earth. The united earth's speare alliance begins taking over the colonies one by one and controlling them with force. The colonies are tired of being suppressed, so they send down five pilots of mobile suits called Gundams to earth, disguising them as shooting stars. I have seen the whole Gundam Wing series, and have yet to see Endless Waltz-the sequel to Gundam Wing. In my opinion, it beats Dragon Ball Z by not only the animation quality, good dubbing, originality and depth of the story, great character development (some of the girls may be questionable) but the emotional feeling you actually get from watching the show. Some of the characters you can even see a significant change in them by the end of the series. You will be hooked within a few episodes, or like me and a lot of other people, the first day. As for a final rap up, the music is great and was done by TWO MIX, awesome mecha's, and good voice artists including Scott Mcneil (Piccolo from DBZ) and Ward Perry (Yamcha from DBZ). Get this, you won't be dissapointed!

Summary: "This is good anime, isn't it."
Review: Thats a quote from my dad.... Its also the biggest understatement of the year. Here is why Gundam Wing is so great; Gundam Wing is my favorite anime, for more reasons than one. I loved the animation, and the battles were awesome. The character designs were some of the best I've ever seen, though I tend to say things like that about all bishonen anime. The characters presonalities were well done too, and I noticed there was always more to them than met the eye. For instance, is Heero just a cold blooded killer? Why does he act so antisocial? Why does Quatre hate fighting so much? These aren't hard questions to answer, but they do make you think. Thats always good. The mecha were neat too. I liked the way the bad guys acted whenever the word "gundam" was mentioned. Very tight. Of course, each gundam has its own special abilities, and to top that off, they're made from gundanium alloy, and are almost indistructible. The bad guys aren't weak, however. Even Duo notices the new strength of the badguys armor. This series also has a good setting. Its about a war, and it looks like one too. With a very dark mood, a tight political situation, and lots of explosions, its bound to be good. There are some really awesome scenes in Gundam Wing. I won't spoil them for you, but they're the ones that make you think: THIS IS SOOOO COOL! Well, that review didn't make any sense, but who cares. Now, I will close with a quote; "Put your hands down. I was the first one to come out and surrender, remember?" -Quatre
