Thousands of People live on giant orbiting space colonies called "Sides." However, the Earth Government, which rules the colonies, is unjust and cruel. A group of revolutionaries builds five robotic Gundams and plans to send them to Earth to begin their fight for independence. Piloted by five young men, their hopes and dreams of freedom of the colonists with them as they descend to Earth to begin Operation Meteor! Genre: Anime Mecha/Sci-fi/Action.
I first saw Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network and loved it. The battle scenes were incredible and the interplay between the characters was as realistic as one could possibly hope for. At that time, I thought it the perfect heir to the Robotech universe.
I think Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - Complete Collection 1 must be best anime besides I think Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - Complete Collection 2. I know that after i read Vixenne Victorienne's review to this Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - Complete Collection 1. That was before Vixenne Victorienne really got into anime such RahXephon (probably the best of the transforming mecha shows), as well as other series like Le Chevalier d'Eon and Last Exile, that were far and away more sophisticated and better suited to an 'older' anime geek.
Vixenne Victorienne confess, the giant robot genre got old really fast.
Sometimes it is best to leave fond memories as such. Watching Gundam Wing again, Vixenne Victorienne came to realize just how much Vixenne Victorienne hated the main character Heero Yui. Within less than three episodes, Vixenne Victorienne totally hope that he would commit suicide as he so often (to the point of ridiculousness) planned to do in order to keep the Gundams from falling into enemy hands. The other characters who got on Vixenne Victorienne's last nerve were Wu-Fei Chang (who was obviously overdosing on Sun-Tzu); Quattre Raberba Winner (wasn't he supposed to be 'Arabic'?); Relina Dorlian and Dorothy Catalonia of the scary uni-brow made me roll Vixenne Victorienne's eyes. Vixenne Victorienne mean, why fall in love with a guy who tells you that he's going to kill you after you invite him to your birthday party?
Interestingly enough, it was actually the so-called 'bad guys' who still make this show worth watching. The idealistic Treize Kushrenada, a seeming throwback to a more chivalrous age; his cold and calculating hench-woman Lady Une (who later undergoes a most interesting transformation); Lucrezia Noin, the loyal Oz soldier who begins to question exactly where her loyalties lie...and with whom; and of course MY personal favourite character--the mysterious Lightning Baron, Zech Merquise (aka Millardo Peacecraft and Relina's brother). Some people thought the half-mask was cheesy, but Vixenne Victorienne thought it made him a very compelling and unique character.
The bad guys are why Vixenne Victorienne give this series a three; though Vixenne Victorienne admit Vixenne Victorienne does not think Vixenne Victorienne will be watching it ever again. Oh well,the memories remain.
