Duo's just a lovable character. He's cute, hot, has so much more than meets the eye. My favorite characters must be Duo, Wu Fei, Dorothy and Lady Une. Lady Une is one probably my most favorite woman in any anime show.

Nah it's not that good. It's only because it's packed with bishies that a lot of people like it. I like it because it's packed with giant robots and people with no feelings.

Oh please! That is not why I like it. You're just seeing things too general. I like it because of the deep characters and the message behind. Of course the good looking bishies is fun, but that's not what makes me watch the show.

Exactly. I'm being general. Not specific. And in any case Gundam Wing is basically a rehash of the old series except with more appealing characters. Are the characters deep? Yes they are. But not in the anime series. IMO, you have to dig around in the manga and the movie/ova to finally get a true feel for the characters.

But the anime series does have the message behind the whole show.

Yeah, but it's depth only goes so far until it's expanded in Endless Waltz and manga that tells the rest of the story of Gundam Wing.

Anyway, I'll keep liking this show whatever you say :P. Let me see where I have that essay link somewhere. Oh yeah, don't mind the title XD.

I wasn't trying to convince you otherwise....

Anyway, I read that one before in the Gundam Wing craze. One of the things I like about Gundam Wing fandom is the amounts of essays and analysis of the Gundam Wing characters.I searched for tons of Trowa ones, and they're stored on my computer somewhere.

I especially love her Duo part. What I don't get though, and this has nothing to do with essays, is why people hate Wu Fei so much without even knowing his past. His past is a perfext explanation for his behavior now.

Gundam Wing was good... ^_^ even though the gundams had waaaayyyy too much power... <_< The characters mostly took on stereotyped figures... ie:

Heero = loner
Duo = childish, happy-go-lucky
Trowa = silent and wise
Quatre = kind hearted and sweet
Wufei = Mr. Honor

Overall, it was a good anime, had some-what good character development. They had a good story plot... and the animation was excellent... ^_^ TWO MIX did an awesome job at the music but if you listen to her music too much, it'll just give you a head ache and you'll get sick of... <_< so far, out of all the Gundams, in my humble opinion, Gundam SEED has been the best so far... ^_^ I'm looking forward to see if its sequel, Gundam SEED Destiny will live up to its high expectations...

Okay my rant, because I am really angry now and will defend this anime till I die:


Firstly of:

Stereotype figures?! It's obvious that you do not understand the world of Gundam Wing very well!

Heero is not a loner! He shows feelings towards the other Gundam Pilots and he just wants his mission to pass by without any obstacles. He joins the pilots in the final battle, doesn't he? No, Heero isn't a loner at all!

Duo isn't childish and happy-go-lucky. There is much more to him then meets the eye. That happyness is his mask for everything! Again I point upwards to the essay I posted! It prooves clear and possible points on all the characters and relationships.

I have to agree on Trowa but that's not everything around him. He only works with the people he trusts and defenetly isn't always as silent.

And Quatre only kind-hearted and sweet?! Na-ah! I don't think so! He destroyed some colonies plus in Blind Target manag (recognized as official GW manga) he admits that he hasn't forgiven the White Fang for what they did.

As for Wu Fei, now that, that makes me really angry! Wu Fei doesn't only care about honor! He lost his wife at an early age! By Treize hands! That's why in the early episodes of the series, when he lost from a face-to-face battle with Treize, that he felt so guilty. Wu Fei is one of the most misunderstrood characters ever!

The animation, however, was for me not as great as the whole character and plot line. The explosions weren't that good, but the character designs were.

The music! Oh dear... Personally I must say that the instrumental parts weren't exactly the best, although some of them were. But music is a taste on its own and I'm not going to discuss it further. My major problem in your post was the character misunderstanding.

Wow... you're even more of a fan than I am lol... Not understand the world of gundam wing?? Character misunderstanding? <_< I read all of the Episode Zero... i own the entire series and Endless Waltz unedited edition... I was just suming them up overall but the creator of Gundam wing... can't spell his name... gahh... did say in an interview with [I think it was Newtype... not sure... gahhh... bad memory...] and I quote:

"...The gundam pilots take on stereotypes..."

therefore i am technically right...

I agree with you the instrumental music sucks... but I was talking about a few songs by TWO MIX... ie: White Reflection or Last Impression... those were the only two that I found likeable... I could argue all day about this but I'm too lazy... lol... we both have our points and opinions... we're both right and wrong... there are tons of people bashing Gundam Wing and I know tons of people who bash Gundam SEED as well... you and I both know that you could probably spend all day arguing about Gundam Wing and I could probably argue all day about anyone saying something about Gundam SEED.... The point is, those our own opinions and we're entitled to them... so let's drop this on a good note... ^_^

I love this show. Trowa. The best. Soo cute. I got upset when they cancelled it on cartoonetwork.
When I went to the Philippines last year, they still had gundam wing and toonami (the same station) on cartoonetwork. Which, was not fair..
