Summary: Awful!
Review: After looking forward to this book for several weeks I must say I'm extremely disapointed. Not only is the artwork simple and very unlike the characters from the TV series, but the plot is very rushed and undeveloped. Heero was constantly out of character-not knowing what was going on and being filled in by Duo one moment, and being stiff and rude to Relena the next. Relena was hardly in it at all-and I would like to point out she is as much a main character as the G-boys, and Dorothy was even seen more than she was. Poor Quatre is on the crazy end yet again, and the ending wasn't very definite. I was looking for a link between the TV series and EW that might explain some things and develop the characers and their relationships to each other more. All I got was a fast paced comic book that weakly states the occurences between GW and EW. I'd suggest viewing "Blind Target" as the reality between the TV series Gundam Wing and the movie Endless Waltz.

Summary: Good, but not the best
Review: Battlefield of Pacifists is another version of what happened between the GW series and Endless Waltz. It is translated by Tokyopop, the same company that translated the 3 part summary of GW. It is also drawn by the same artist as the 3 part summary, but this time the artwork and the translation is much better. The plot is a little fast paced, but you probably won't see it unless you are being picky. Not being a fan of 1+R, I loved the parts where Duo and Heero were together, but Heero wasn't TOO mean to Relena ~_^. Some of the bad sound effects were in this one (ex. GRAB, SHINE, SWING). All in all, it was pretty good but has some room for improvement.

Summary: Absolutely WONDERFUL!!!
Review: Besides the wonderful artwork, it is a bit fast paced. Still I love this book as much as the others!!! Relena or 1xRP fans will hate this if they are narrow minded. Relena is in it VERY LITTLE and Heero is rude to her.
I have to say I love that part ^^;;. I'm not a Relena fan, but I'll put up with her. Oh... And 1x2 fans, you'll love this!!!
Duo and Heero rent a motel room!!! XD I also love that part! All in all, if you are an open minded Gundam fan you'll love it.
^_^ Mainly for us hentai peeps.

Summary: Blind Target is better...
Review: For a Gundam Wing side story, this was pretty disappointing. The first turn-off I got was the art style. It had no similarities with the art style from the series or Blind Target. The characters look stiff and not very flexible. Another thing was the story and plot-line. I liked the concept of Vulkanus but I couldn't stomach the way they immediately progressed with the story. Instead of filling the gap of one year between the series and Endless Waltz, they only tried to create a prequel for the movie. Plus, the character development was lame. How come Relena didn't perform an important role there? Perhaps the anti-Relena squad would like that, but if you recall, Relena is one of the MAJOR characters! Whether you like it or not, there won't be any Gundam Wing without her. I was disappointed in seeing her demoted to a small role in the end. If you ask me, Blind Target is much better than Battlefield. Why? Because it takes off from where the series ended. It develops its own story and moves to a definite conclusion of its own. The Epilogue was enough to show us how Endless Waltz came about. But with Battlefield, everything happened too fast! I would've liked it better if Battlefield's timeframe was between the series and Blind Target. But instead, it had to try and go for an Endless Waltz prequel. When questioning whether it is official or not, I'd rank it with Ground Zero. It is a doujinshi that is accepted by Sunrise as part of the GW saga. (Heck, even Ground Zero is much better!) In the same ranks as the series and Endless Waltz, I'd go for Blind Target. True that it may be a manga, but it was a Radio Drama before that (making it official). To make this long review short, Battlefield was crap! If you want a much better in-betweener of the series and the movie, I advise you to view Blind Target. It is much better in story-wise and art-style.

Summary: Battelefield of the Pacifists
Review: Great book, as w/all of the Tokita books I have read(?) I love the animation. The story is good, too. I wish Milliardo was in it though, typical of a Mil fan. Anyway, go ahead, get it. If you are new to Gundam Wing, you may wanna read the Gundam Wing graphic novels by Koichi Tokita, Yoshiyuki Tomino, and Hajime Yadate. I liked them a bit more. All 4 of the books are great reading.

Summary: Not as good as I expected
Review: GW Battlefield of Pacifists was too rushed and fast paced. The storyline didn't really fit the characters. The whole 1x2 thing was really non-existant. Duo encouraged Heero and Relena's relationship several times and even warned that if Heero didn't keep in contact with her she'd forget him. Heero was rude to Relena-and for Relena fans, she wasn't in it hardly at all. Wufei was also out of character-Heero once said in Endless Waltz that false fronts were not his style, and that is exactly what he did when asking Lady Une about the Scorpio. The Wufei in this book kinda went with the flow just to see how things would work out for his entertainment. I wouldn't recommend for hard core GW fans to read this book unless they just want a different view and type of GW. If you want the TV shows style, read one of the other mangas.

Summary: totaly worth it for true fans!
Review: I am an anime and Manga obsessint. I love Gwing and this seems to be the real version, basicly the #4 in the book/manga series. It was enjoyable, and a good link to what happened, but i would like to know if they'll make mangas for Endless waltz.

Summary: Good story if a little awkward at the end
Review: I really liked that it wasn't just retreading the material in the series or Endless Waltz. It actually builds on different views and emotions. It does do a little recycling of events by having Heero show up to the final battle late, but that's okay with me. I did enjoy that the bad guy wasn't a complete clone of the others, but he had his own motives and opinions. I think the best villians fall into two categories, the intelligent and the hipocrites. There is some anger in that this guy is claiming to want no weapons of any kind and demands them to give up the Gundams. But he just wants to take power from others and give it to himself. Heero's final words at the climax sets up the difference between wanting power and having power. And it goes a long way to explain what influences Quatre's, Heero's, and Chang's later in Endless Waltz. The only part I didn't like was that it seemed too much like a 'this happens here' and 'this happens because of that'. I likes the character development, but the actual story fell apart at the very end when it seemed more like a preview for Endless Waltz than telling the end to its own story. But all in all it is good. The dialogue is reminiscient of the anime and has some wonderful moments, like Heero's meeting with Dorothy in the graveyard. And the way the Perfect Peace People talked reminded me of Zeon's chants and salutes. The artwork is great, the characters look exactly like the show as well as the mecha. The Virgo 3 is minor but the new Scorpio design is very cool. I especially liked the Mobile Armor look, felt almost Universal Century. The extra's in the back are neat and not something that had to be included. Overall, the story had some wierd moments, but it was solid fun that match the series. Even the title fit the tone.

Summary: Definitely a disappointing purchase
Review: The plot of Battlefield of Pacifists is far too fast-paced for the reader to get a good idea of exactly what's going on. The artwork is nothing spectacular and definitely doesn't keep to the same style as the TV series; it also seems like there wasn't much effort put into keeping the characters' personalities in tune with the series itself on the author's part. All in all, it's hard to believe that the events in Battlefield of Pacifists were meant to take place during the interlude between the series and the OVA, and the fact that this book is really a doujinshi (fan-drawn) comic being passed off as official certainly doesn't help any. If you happen to be looking for a book that gives a believable rendition of the events that took place between Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz I would highly recommend purchasing Blind Target instead due to the fact that it presents a far more believable and developed plotline.
