Summary: Mecha with fluff and stuff...but still fun to watch!!!
Review: I think I've exhausted my tape...I've seen it over and over again. I personally cannot tell you how happy I was to see the whole bit with Heero and Wufei (since Wufei is one of my faves) dueling. Even knowing too much for my own good before seeing the movie, I enjoyed it nonetheless. I must admit, though, it doesn't have quite the intensity that the series had...The series is much better. But if you want a little 6/9 fluff and 1/R too, this movie is good for you. It's a nice wrap up to one of the greatest mecha series ever!! (now if only they write a 5/S and 2/H ending stuff and fluff!!)

Summary: ENDLESS WALTZ
Review: The very first time I saw Gundum Wing I didn't get it 'cause I saw an epiosode in the middle of the seires but I watched it 'cause it was anime but now I love it. IT IS SOOOO GREAT! Endless Waltz is a good movie but I for one don't like the way it says at the end mobile suits "were never seen again". But that's a little stupid and I'm hoping for a seaquel anyway. The movie does have some voilence but it's mostly just mobile suits beating up other mobile suits. Hehehe and mobile suits blowing up mobile suits.

Summary: The anime I so completely misinterpreted...
Review: This movie... *shakes head* My friend and I got this movie, because we liked the Gundam Wing TV series and I had read a good review of it, while we were making an anime video stockup. Fine. We go home... and we watch in her basement... and we laughed our butts off the ENTIRE TIME. This movie was meant to be serious but we just couldn't take this with a straight face... The dubbing, by the way, is really really bad: Heero (main character here) has such a monotone: "I am Heero Yuy. I am here to kill you." said SO blandly will always make me crack up. Duo, the spunky, young, happy-go-lucky american pilot, is given a deep manly voice. *shakes head* WHY, I'll never know. I think this movie is probably great to true fans of the series, but I am not such a big mecha fan. The story here was watery and I coulnd't follow it all with all the bad dialogue and it's habit of sloppily switching from scene to scene. And there is such bad conclusion for some of the characters, I swear!! : In the ending credits, all you see of Duo is standing on a junk pile, and then aproached by a random girl so he can sign something for her. Gee, that's sure closure. This movie is meant for the hardcore Gundam fans. Anyone else, back away: this is one stinky cheese otherwise. Get the DVD, and for the love of Duo change to voice acting to Japanese. On the other hand, though, my friend and I had SO much fun laughing about this baby and now we have all these inside jokes about it that will be entertaining for a long, long time...so maybe you'd like this movie for that purpose. Me, I'll stick to my Kenshin and Cowboy Bebop.

Summary: If you like Gundam Wing, don't miss it!
Review: I have watched this movie with VHS with Japanese language. This DVD contains the movie version, which was originally showed in movie theaters in Japan approximately 3-4 years ago. The movie version contains some extra scenes, which aren't inserted in the OVA version. In one scene, Noin meets Zechs again, who hasn't met for 1 year and 2 days. In another scene, Dorothy (the woman who had hand-to-hand combat with Quatre at the end of TV version) appears in front of civilians to encourage to fight without weapons. And in one scene, after Zero Custom fell into the water, Heero decides to go to the "Last Mission" with "about to be broken" Zero Custom. This scene is "Must See." Personally I felt that Zero Custom is a beautiful MS, and as soon as I watched the movie, I also decided to buy PG Zero Custom model. If you like the Gundam Wing Series, you'll like this DVD.

Summary: Life is just an edless waltz
Review: Endless waltz is an awsome movie. the special edition DVD includes the OVA episiodes of the movie, it also includes a mobel suit encyclopedia and is veiwable in mutiple languages. It has the same voices as in the show(english version anyways). If you saw this on the cartoon network or YTV(people in canada), then you might have thought that it was very heavly edited, the truth is that it wasn't. sure commercials but thats about it. BUT, if you only saw it once, than you probobly didn't catch it all at once. Its a great DVD packed with loads of stuff that will make this a great movie from begining to end.

Summary: Could be better, but still a must buy
Review: Excellent title, except for some little mistakes. At first, subtitles don't always match speech. Second, there are UGLY BIG BLACK SPOTS on the picture in a couple of points of the MOVIE version (eg. 58:51 and 59:00), fortunately not present in the OAV running. No prob if you aren't a video-quality maniac... otherwise think about it. At last, take a look at it even with the great japan track.

Summary: Understanding
Review: this movie alone is amazing. with its designs, characters, and storylines, this is a must have anime movie to have for years. but if you really want to get a great feel for this movie, look at the t.v show first then look at the movie directly after the shows. that way you can get the feeling the whole gundam wing series. but if you like wars video games and stuff, you may want to try the video games of final fantasy 7,8,& 9 with the legend of the dragoon, and the wild arms games. but it you not me. the endless waltz is all in reference to those games. with the games, you will get that 'gundam-ish' to it all the episodes with the movie. please make sure when oyu look at the movie, try your best to replace your self with any pilot or character that you feel strong as. that brings a sense of reality it to it because it reflex a little of life today.

Summary: A perfect series finale.
Review: The Japanese animation series of Gundam Wing spans 49 episodes, ending in a very surprising climax. In the three-part series finale (or movie edition of the OAV), we are able to see familiar characters put closure to a turbulent time in their lives. I find that the special edition of Endless Waltz is the perfect purchase for anyone who is familiar with the series of Shin Kidouseki Gundam Wing. It has several advantages over the VHS version. The DVD includes not only the OAV, the special movie edition, which can be considered as the true series ending. Another reason to purchase the DVD is for the subtitled versions of Endless Waltz. The Japanese voice actors easily surpass their English counterparts. With talents such as Hikaru Midorikawa (Tamahome in Fushigi Yuugi, Zelgadis in Slayers), Koyasu Takehito (Hotohori in Fushigi Yuugi, Aya in Weiss Kreuz), Orikasa Ai (Ryoko in Tenchi Muyo, Kanae in Shoujo Kakumei Utena) and many more, the experience of the series will be heightened. However, if you do not like subtitled anime, the English version does an impressive job of telling the story without many problems. The DVD also features uncut version of the anime, subtitled and dubbed in English. They are not much different from the edited versions, since the original does not have explicit violence. The animation itself is breathtaking, much more details then the series. I myself have very little interest in the mechanical designs of the mobile suits; however, the new designs are eye-catching. If you have doubted the beauty of the Gundams, one look at the Wing Zero Custom will render you speechless. The music of the OAV and movie are wonderful, which include two new themes from TWO-MIX, the music duo which created the openings of the series, 'Just Communication' and Rhythm Emotion'. I am certain the new themes 'White Reflection' and 'Last Impression' will find their way into your heart. The actual DVD itself has very few bugs. It runs very well and freezes rarely. The sound quality is in originally in a 'Dolby" format however 'THX' and 'Stereo" sound will work fine. The menus are easy to navigate and feature animations of the Gundams performing various tasks. Unfortunately, some of the extra features of the DVD are weak. The Mobile Suit encyclopedia has a few mistakes (spelling of names, actual facts about the Gundams) and the image gallery is sorely lacking. If you are eager to view the climatic ending of television series or you are an casual anime fan who is searching for something worth your time, I advise you to purchase this product. You will not regret it.

Summary: GREAT! JUST GREAT!
Review: To sum it up, everything is here. This is not simply a smash the hell outta the baddies DVD. Sure, we've got some killer mecha battles, but there's also character developement. Treize's daughter tries to take over the world (does that sound corny or what?), and we get to see a struggle between Hero and WuFei. WuFei has become part of Marimea's (Treize's daughter) army, and the seeming re-birth of WuFei puts him at peace in the end. Zechs makes a return to the Gundam Universe as "Preventer Wind," piloting Tallgeese (I think!). The drawn graphics are incredibley sharp and flowing, and the music is, for the most part, left in its original Japanese form. The conclusion is an incredible fight scene, sticking to the Gundam Pilots' principles of the need for peace. They fight the entire battle alongside Zechs and Noin, and no deaths occur due to painstaking care on the part of the Gundams! The battle ends with the destruction of Wing Zero, but the succes of its mission. There's nothing wrong with this DVD, and EVERYTHING right with it! The ONLY thing that could've been improved was the menu - it was a little minimalistic. But there was no 4.5 stars, so round up and get this DVD!

Summary: Best Anime on DVD
Review: I dont really watch all the episdoes to Gundam Wing, but i watch most of them. So anyway I bought the DVD with my birthday money adn Ive watch it like at least a millon times so far. When Herro and his Wing Zero takes down the whole base or when he spreads the wings is a killer to me. Buy this dvd not the VHS. PLus they show the OVA episodes and such. Plus you can watch it in japanese. Well anyway just buy the video.
