Summary: A Great Ending To The Gundam Wing Series
Review: What can I say about this movie? I think that it's a fitting end to the Gundam Wing series which ties up most, if not all, the loose ends. We find where the five Gundam pilots end up and see that peace is finially reigning over the galaxy.

You also get to see the new design of the Gundams(which was cool) and also where and how Heero, Quatre, Duo, Wu-Fei, and Troia started as Gundam pilots.

Overall, I think that this is a great anime.

Summary: The coolest anime movie ever!
Review: I'm a major Gundam Wing fan (Yes I'm a girl)and I agree that the animation was awesome; loads better than the series animation. I love this movie so much, and I'm so glad my friend Holly got this DVD for me. I love the gallery and the MS encyclopedia, but my favorite part was the ending when Duo chokes on the rice cake! HA! I hate the fact that Heero and Relena were the main characters in the Cartoon network movie(which I thought was terrible) but this DVD is my salvation! I LOVE QUATRE and am soooo glad that in the theatrical version of the movie, in the extra footage there's a whole lot of him going around! Hehe, I love the new song they play instead of White Reflection(don't get me wrong I love that song), And certain things make a lot more sense to me now. This is a must see for Gundam Wing fans!

Summary: "As long as we can look each other in the eye"
Review: Strange to say, it was the building of miniature Gundam figures that first got me interested in Anime. But I was never all that drawn to what I knew of the plot. I am not a battle freak, nor much of a 'hard' science fiction fan. And, if nothing else, this story of the titanic struggle between earth and the colonies is truly hard science fiction. True to my nature, when I finally decided to see one of the films, I picked 'Endless Waltz' completely missing the fact that it was the last in the series.

Oddly enough, that doesn't turn out to be a problem. While the story is very much based on what went before, the film (not the OVA version) takes just enough extra time to provide some needed continuity. In addition, the message behind it all is universal. Nor is the base plot hard to follow, even if it's sometimes difficult to place some of the characters at first. While 'Endless Waltz' didn't turn me into a complete Gundam groupie, it filled in a lot of what I didn't understand, introduced a lot of the characters and filled in the blanks behind some of the little figures that keep showing up on shelves around my house.

Despite the battle scenes and technology, 'Endless Waltz' is a political drama, as Dekim and Mariemaia Barton plan to attack earth and either rule the Earth Sphere Unified Nation or drop an entire colony on it. The Gundam, disorganized and in disagreement, must sort out their own beliefs as they find a way to create a new peace that will not cave in to such efforts at empire. But the real message of the film is that the Gundam cannot create peace on their own. Instead, the people themselves must take responsibility for creating and sustaining the world they want to live in.

This message, with the important subtext about believing that life is something far more precious than any product of technology, makes this a strong film. Even being as unfamiliar with the pilots as I was, I found something sympathetic and understandable in all of them. All of the characters are vivid, from the supremely chilling Mariemaia Khushrenada (Barton) to Relena Darlian who must also confront what she believes develop through the film, and are still growing at its end. Needless to say, artwork and battle choreography are excellent, providing a fitting end to the era of the mobile suit.

Having both the OVA and film versions is a plus since there are a number of tiny, but significant differences that are interesting of themselves. My biggest criticism is that the subtitling is a bit too minimalist. I would have appreciated translation of the various signs and credits as well as the narrative.

Summary: The Real Conclusion to the Series
Review: For fans of the GW series, this DVD is a must see. The series left off when the conflicting parties were brought down, but the real political struggle between the colonies and Earth were still up in the air. The political struggles are finally put to rest as they break the endless waltz of peace - rebellion - war. The past of each gundam pilot and their involvement in operation meteor is revealed and they all reach the end of their personal journey. This series does not end until you see this feature. I also do not recommend this title if you have not seen the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Conclusion....Definitely a MUST SEE!
Review: Where many sequels/conclusions in the past had failed in living up to the expectations and standards of their predecessors, Gundam Wing Endless Waltz is a five star OVA and is in equal standings with the television series. Continuing the story of what happedned after the war, and what has become of the great, heroic Gundam Pilots. Another war has come about, during AC 196 Chrismas Eve. The foundation that had come up with the original Operation Meteor has waged war on The Earth Sphere Unified Nation. The gundam pilots remember and confront their pasts and beginnings as pilots of their beloved mobile suits as they fight to save the Earth and humanity once again.

Review: This is one of the BEST DVD I've ever seen and Wing Zero Custom and the other customs are sooo cool. It has a good plot and the special edition has the scenes that were cut from Cartoonnetwork. The opening song is really good too. So I really suggest this DVD cause its my fave and its good anime too.

Summary: this is some freaking tight anime
Review: this movie is awesome! the plot is awesome, the characters are mad cool, and they have all of the best gundams in gundam wing. my personal favorite is heavyarms custom and wing gundam zero. the music is pretty cool - nothing to cry over. i recommend the unedited version. from what ive heard, the edited version cuts out half of the movie. there is really nothing bad in it except 3 people get shot (1 lives and the other 2 are bad), they only have 2 bad words....... nothing bad enough to not see the movie. i like the dvd because it has so many features. thankfully to some and unthankfully to others, there is no hentai - japanese anime porn. i definetley reccommend this anyday.its great!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Gundam Wing is back!
Review: all you out there who have seen the gundam wing TV series will probably and mostlikly enjoy Endless Waltz. Of course its the bad guys vs. good guys thing again but hey, pratically all movies are like that and that's what gives it a good egde.
i so have to say though that the song, "White Reflection" really rocks. i was so moved i swear to god. I had recorded the movie off of Cartoon Network when it was showing and i watched it twice in a row, so what if i finished at 3 am! Of course there are the little twists here and there and then you have the old and the new characters, well all except the dead ones and just a hint to the people who haven't seen Endless Waltz, one of the guys isn't really dead! Anyway, You have the Funny Duo Maxwell all the way down to the Serious Heero Huy, but all in all it was really good. Usually sequals to things are so lame that you feel like shooting yourself but i was really surprised when Endless Waltz wasn't like all the other sequals for movies. i really enjoyed the special effects and the way it was down. the color was great and some things looked sorta wierd once in awhile but nothin totally major to distract you from the main point. I liked how they sorta summed up at the end of what the charicters did with there lives after blowing up their Gundams, although i was sad that they did that cause to me it seemed as if Gundams were their lives. But only one questions remains.... WHAT HAPPENS TO HEERO HUY?
i really liked how they showed some past images here and there so you really could understand how they got their gundams. once again i would like to metions that the outline was done pretty well, the music was AWESOME, the drawings we really COOL and they kept everything in line. Two thumbs up!! ;)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An Ending to a Terrible Series
Review: So after being tortured by the Gundam Wing episodes which repeated, and repeated, I was NOT looking forward to this, I was right. There isn't much here, but there are some good mecha.

I find the Altron Custom stunning, or stunning for Gundam Wing. Sure, it's very much like the Dragon Gundam from G Gundam, but it's been um. done in a better animated, visually appealing way. Then there's that fight, between Wing Zero Custom (lol) and the Altron Custom. Ok, the Deathscythe Hell was BAD, it had a scythe, with TWO BLADES! Sandrock was ok, Heavyarms was terrible, you get the picture.
In this "Special Edition" version, you get Minami Takayama (Two Mix's) "Last Impression" enjoy it. It's the BEST part of the movie.
Fairly good ending, sort of, better than I expected. I'm not telling you to go buy it, but it looks good on the shelf.
