Gundam Wing

[Dyno247365]

When I watched Gundam Wing on cartoon network I enjoyed it, as a kid, but now watching the japanese subtitles as an adult, I do believe that Gundam Wing is the darkest anime I have seen too date, even darker than Gantz! The W series brings a new plot to the table, different from most gundams. The Gundams in the After Colony (AC) Century, sent to Earth as operation meteor, and from then on, are symbols/bringers of death. The philosophy in the series to me is two fold. One, when two sides fight eachother, take no allies and destroy all conflicts which leads me into the second philosophy, war drives you mad. I'm up to the original episode 41 now.

Duo Maxwell/Deathscythe used to be my favorite, but when Heero piloted Epyon, whew talk about insanity!!!
"Are they me enemy? Or not??"--shakes head in agony and then looks up "I'll get rid of them all"

Dyno, wait until you get heavy into the Universal Century stuff. There's a reason they called Yoshiyuki Tomino (the Gundam franchise's creator) "Kill 'em All Tomino". The most extreme case, of course, is Zeta. Sheesh, by the end of Zeta, everyone ends up disillusioned, heartbroken, and angry, and there's still a series to go before it all blows up in Char's Counterattack!

There are very few Gundams that I did not like... well hate

Too bad they went completely mad. Gotta love Zechs's thinking.

"I'm going to blow up the Earth, for it's own good."

But then, you are aware of the fact that Gundam Wing is not the original Gundam series, right? Mobile Suit Gundam (also known as 0079) is in fact the original Gundam series dating back to 1979.

Gundam Wing didn't come around until 1996.

So true. Gawd, I miss constructing my Gundam model kits. Had a collection when I was a teenager.
