Now all I have to say about Gundam Wing is it was amazing it was one of my favorite animes of all time. The Plot is incredible. It's about 5 kids that are each given a powerufl Mobile suit called Gundam. Heero Yuy is the pilot of Wing Gundam, Duo Maxwell Pilots Gundam Deathscythe, Trowa Barton the pilot of Gundam HeavyArms, Quatre aberba Winner Pilot of Gundam Sandrock and Wufei Pilot of Gundam Shenglong. The story starts out very simple at first the 5 kids are the messengers of the space colonies which orbit earth at Larange points. The 5 kids each have separate missions and wage war against a secret organization called OZ which is hidden inside theWorld Federation. As the story goes along it gets more complex as the characters personalities and problems begin to emerge. The animation quality is not the greats I have seen but it is typical of the Anime's done in 1995. The music is absolutely incredible Two-Mix rocks I love their Song, Just Communication and Rhythm Emotion. They really set the mood for the battles and the other times they are used. I still can't get over the story the way it develops is incredible. It slowly becomes more and more engrossing as the lines between right and wrong begin to fade away. This anime is a must I recommend that everyone buy the subtitled version when it is released by AnimeVillage.

Anime: Gundam Wing
Genre: Mechs, Sci-fi, Shounen
Eps seen: 1-49

Plot: 5 pilots of a very young age are sent to Earth on a mission entitled
"operation meteor". The 5 pilots know nothing of each others involvment in
the project just that their objective is to destroy the secret organization
Oz.

Review: Very few HAVEN'T seen this show, it's been on Toonami and YTV so
there's no reason that you shouldn've of watched it. Anyways I rather liked
this Gundam series regardless of what other fans say. I've to say the
Gundams damn cool and while some people may not like how the characters are
I prefer unique characters in my anime. Something unpredictable is always
good to break apart the standard formula some animes run and the story
progresses pretty fast in GW that you can't miss a episode or you might be
lost sometimes.

Music: Nothing amazing background music wise but the vocal tracks are good.
There are many remixes of their songs and generally most are good, but than
again vocal tracks for just about any anime tend to be good.

Animation: Not up to todays standard of animation, maybe good for it's time
but it just doens't cut it anymore. Scenes are re-used quite a bit in the
series which is a big no no in my book but most of the fight scenes are
pretty cool. I did find some of them more intense than the one in Vandread
because it tends to be faster paced and the Gundams are really strong with
the Wing Gundam being ridiculously strong.

Overall: If you like mecha watch it. There's a large fan girl following
simply because it has 5 guys and we all know what girls did to them -_-;

Rating: 8/10

+ : Gundam's look cool, fast paced, awesome vocal tracks

- : Ridiculous strength of Wing Zero's buster rifle, Relena does get
annoying, re-used scenes
