Summary: Great information for fans of Gundam Wing
Review: Although a good deal of the information presented in the Gundam Wing Technical Manual is published in some form or another, no other source has it all so nicey compiled as this book. However, don't go thinking you've seen all of this before. While some of the stats and armaments of the Gundams are well known, the manual presents some lesser-known details about the Gundam Wing timeline and the physics behind the machines.

The first section of the book presents stats on each mobile suit in full color while presenting some details about important events. The last section of the book is in black and white and presents a detailed timeline and information on the characters and other technology, such as the space colonies, that populate Gundam Wing. My one complaint would be the small size of the book. While the pocket-size is easy to carry, it would be nice to have larger versions of the contained illustrations. Fans of Gundam Wing, old or new, should own this great resource book!

Summary: Fighting for Peace
Review: Gundam Wing ---- Endless Waltz is one of the Gundam series, which written by two famous Japanese science fiction writer, Hajime Yadate and Yoshiyuki Tomino. They have written a lots of the Gundam series. All the Gundam series are show a grandiose history of the war in human.

The five Gundam pilots are the main character in this story. From the beginning the five youths searched for peace in themselves way. Four of them send Gundams to the sun in order to keep peace. They thought if they destroyed all weapons, the war would never happen again.

Oppositely, Wufei did not send his Gundam to the sun, because he thought peace was never became of the world. When the war broke out, Wufei joined the Mariemeia Army; he wanted to find the right just. When he did everything he asked himself ¡°Am I doing the right thing?¡± While Wufei battled with Heero, he asked Heero ¡°Are you right? Is your cause just? I am asking you if you are doing the right thing!¡± At the end, Wufei came out from the mind lost, he asked people who were eager for peace to battle with the Mariemeia Army. Finally Wufei found out his peace and joined Prevent as a Preventer, waiting for fighting for peace¡­¡­

For other Gundam pilots, Trowa pretended to join the Mariemeia Army, for stopping the colony from dropping on Earth; Duo went to save Relena and fought with the Mariemeia Army; Quatre tried his best to get the lost Gundams from their way to the sun, for this he almost got near to the hell ---- dead in the space.

Heero is the main character of the five Gundam pilots. It may show from the title ---- Gundam Wing, because the Gundam of Heero named Wing Zero. Heero was always silence, usually he did not say anything, but when he said something that meant he would do it in his own way, until he got the goal. While Heero battled with Wufei, he just said one sentence ¡°Wufei, self-detonation!¡± and then did move at all, because he believe Wufei would stop. While they battled the next time on Earth, he asked Wufei how many people did they have killed? And how many people they would still kill for the peace! He then dropped himself to the bottom of the ocean in order to let Wufei woke up to find the real peace! At the end, Heero confirmed that the shield was unable to destroy. After three blasts from Wing Zero, he was able to destroy the shield, but Wing Zero was also destroyed. Heero was a soldier like this, a soldier fought for peace at all costs! I give my best respect to him!

The story named Gundam Wing----Endless Waltz. It means the war likes endless waltz, human battle for any reason from human history, from the beginning but no end. Peace likes wing, sometimes near to us but sometimes far away from us. How can we do? To keep the wing holding on palm of your hand, or always waiting for the coming wind and stopping the wind blow away the wing? I will choice the last way to protect the only wing for us all.

Everyone considers that war is the ugliest cruelest thing in the word, in our deep heart. Everyone is eager for peace, they hate war hate battle. But from this science fiction book, it tells us, peace is something you have to fight for. The book really shows that the meaning of the true peace!

Summary: Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz
Review: I think that Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz was a wonderful book overall, but it wasn't without flaws. The history and storyline is actually a very cleverly written one. The date is 195 AC (After Colony). It is some time in the future when the earth has been separated into two groups: those who still live on the earth and those who live in space colonies that float in space. Since it is an extremely futuristic setting, there are robots everywhere, including the five Gundams, war machines used to keep the peace. This series of Gundam Wing documents the history of the Gundams, and this particular book marks the fateful day when the pilots decide to retire them. Long story short, just as the pilots are in the process of sending their war machines to the sun for destruction, a little girl with too much money starts a war and they are forced to take back the Gundams one last time. I won't say the ending though, because it would defeat the purpose of the reading the book.

There are many pros and cons to this book. Firstly, the drawings are absolutely wonderful, and that is a double-edged sword. Unlike the cartoon, the pictures are not moving, and since this is an action based manga, it lacks the excitement that the cartoon would have, but on the contrary, sometimes the cartoon moves too fast, and this book enables one to marvel at the pictures if they wish to do so. Another obvious yet noticeable thing that is missing is music, but that's because it's a book. The story also seems to start and end rather quickly, but that's also a good thing because it means that you don't have to sit through a show every time you want to see Gundam Wing. All in all, this book lacks the excitement and drama that the cartoon has, but is still worth buying if you're a fan of Gundam Wing.

Summary: A Fun Ride
Review: The graphic novel form of 'Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz' (arguably one of the best Gundam movies out), of course, suffers a bit in the transition from film to paper, but the plot itself stays pretty much on course. The politics and references themselves might blow over the heads of those who have never seen the original anime (which is highly recommended), but it isn't impossible to grasp. The characters are fun as always to view, from Heero's complexities to the new riddle of Mariemaia (who unfortunately doesn't get the time to develop as a character as one might hope), and it is relatively easy to see their interactions with one another as solid relationships.

Perhaps my only dislike in this graphic novel is the art itself: for some reason, it strikes me as dull. The characters appear flat and choppy at times, while overly cartoony in others, which is distracting from the story (on the other hand, the Mobile Suits and the Gundams - enormously large robots for the uninformed - are very pleasing to look at). I found it to be lacking in aesthetics as compared to 'Blind Target' (one of the 'transition' manga covering the time period between the series and the movie; it's art is the most faithful to the anime) or 'Ground Zero' (which is simply beautiful on its own), but this isn't as important a factor as I might make it sound. More like a pet peeve.

Overall, I give it a rating of four stars, for sticking close to the original plot and being an enjoyable read. The actual movie and, of course, the anime itself are strongly recommended for viewing before reading, though, as it only adds to the experience.
