Gundam Wing - it's not worth your time

by box543 , May 02 '01
Pros: it could be worse; the series is unoffensive
Cons: bad voice acting; low quality animation and effects; bad music; trite plot
This review was originally posted in the Cartoon Network category because, at the time, there were no Gundam categories. This is a review of the series itself and not necessarily the quality of the VHS. I've opted to place the opinion here until there...

On A Space Colony, No One Can Hear You Scream Between Gunfire And Explosions

by Pika312 , Jul 23 '01
Pros: Lot of action, giant robots killing each other, new units, Duo's funny, beam saber duels.
Cons: Quatre sucks, bad guys die too fast, Zechs looks stupid with the helmet.
If you looked into the future, what would you see? Advanced technology? Perhaps. Living in space? Sure. Perfect peace? Not a chance.

In the year 195 AC, after people can live in space on colonies (thus the term "After Colony"), the colonists...

We Need Better Communication

by Dennari , Oct 03 '01
Pros: In depth character development and an interesting plot.
Cons: Fight sequences can leave much to be desired.
I first saw Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network when it premiered. Of course, since I was in college at the time, it wasn't the best situation to try and view it. Still, from what I was able to see of it, I was intrigued. It wasn't until later that I...

Gundam Wing: Intriguing and Bold Plot,High Quality Animation

by Gomer808 , Sep 19 '00
Pros: The plot is original and the animation/artwork is very cool.
Cons: Compared to the Japanese voice actors, the English voice actors did a terrible job. Many gunfire scenes are reused over and over throughout the series.
Gundam Wing... Perhaps the greatest of the recent Gundam Series. Gundams, to those who may not know, are giant robots used in a collection of Japanese Animation(Anime) series' that goes back more than 20 years. Gundam Wing is the second most recent...

Someone Shoot The Stars!

by Jeridyte , Mar 05 '01
Pros: The MS designs are interesting and original, as well as some of the "Gundam" designs.
Cons: Too many "Gundam" units, psychos, and plot twists for any one series.
Those who say Gundam Z/ZZ are the worst Gundam series are either americans or haven't seen Gundam W, although there IS a saving grace.

Why do I say that? Well let's look at the facts, and then I'll show you why I actually like this series (to...

lets all get Suicidal

by haozertree , Jan 29 '01
Pros: mech design
Cons: silly, fascist plot
Gundam is series known for its "grand" and "elaborate" themes on war and peace involving giant robots. It is still among one of the most popular anime for children and adult males alike in Japan. I have never liked the series much because the plot has...

The beginning of a great series.

by magus6662000 , Dec 28 '00
Pros: Awesome, a great anime
Cons: a little bloody on the uncut version

The gundam series is one of the best anime series ever. The simple fact is that Gundam has started since the 1970's. There has been over 15 different Gundam series. The most popular one in America is Gundam Wing. That is why I am reviewing the...

Gundam Wing- Great Anime?

by hiho99 , Dec 27 '00
Pros: The music and animation
Cons: The plot
Well, I didn't enjoy Gundam Wing too much. First of all, it is a shounen anime. So it is made for boys.. All the fighting, peace-making, and war theme bored me to death. I had problems following the story line because of it's boring story. So the plot...

"Nobody Faces A Gundam And Lives To Tell About It"

by guyver77 , Aug 23 '01
Pros: Major Action Scenes Wonderfully written plot Interesting characters
Cons: Does not compare to "The 08th MS Team"
The gundam franchise will not stop! Even after the utter failure that Mobile Suit Gundam had in Japan, they just kept throwing 'em out like bad shoes. Eventually, shows like "08th MS Team" and "Gundam Z Fighter" would gain immense popularity in Japan and...

Move over Transformers...

by ringrust , Oct 06 '00
Pros: Quality animation, deep story
Cons: Two- three months between video releases
Like many young boys in the 80's, I grew up buying and watching Transformers. Other than Robotech, Transformers was the only way to get a giant robot fix. Now in my 20's, I have discovered a new series that eclipses all others before it, Gumdam Wing....
