I noticed another Gundam topic, so I decided to start this one up, as I think Gundam Wing is the best Gundam series of them all! Heero Yuy has gotta be the best character ever! His past is so sad, and you feel sorry for him, having been brought up to be the Perfect Soldier.
What do you guys think?
-
I'm biased of course, since I've only seen Gundam WIng
But its a very good series.
And Heero, so sad :( (whats the point of living if you are brought up like that - reminds me of Syaoran from CCS)
-
Hmm....yeah...I get what you mean about Syaoran and Heero...but Heero had such a crummy past..homeless, then brought up like that...I mean come on, he was taught to self-destruct every time he was in danger of losing!
-
HEERO!! i love you.. hehe my first gundam series.. LMAO!! it's wicked.. i love this and the songs.. and heero and relena pairing..
they don't show them together though which sucks.. AH!!!! and i actually love the MS in this series. o.O haha i love all the 5 mobile suit people.. i don't remember what they're called.. haven't watched in a LONG time.. lmao..

o.O you sure know your gundams.. haha.. i only most of them.. not all of them though.. lolz.. i'm not a big fan on the mecha..
-
I love Gundam Wing, its the best show, poor Heero, at least Reelana was there to make him better! I love 1 X R! *sqeeues*
I love the music in that show though, that's some real j-pop in that one! *nods* The movie was good too, I had the unfortunate time to watch the dub version.
But the anime rocks, my very first mecha anime! W00t!
-
hehe you know what's surprising.. i have never seen the jap version.. HAHA!! i only watched the dubbed.. *nods.. yes yes.. *hear GW fans booing me.. *GLARES!!
well it's true.. gundam wing is pretty old and i loved watching it on tv.. hehe.. i like the dubbed well i have never seen the jap so yea.. XD
poor heero?? what you talking about?!??! ?__?
i don't really remember gundam wing well.. i downloaded it like a few times but i deleted it everytime.. LMAO!! i don't think i got the story line that much but i got the main things.. like relena is a pricess.. a peacecraft.. o.O and that her bro is that zechs guy.. LMAO!! and his real name starts with a M.. haha.. and.. umm i can't think of anything right now.. LMAO!!
-
One of the most debated of the series.
It's also the second most mocked series by old-school Universal Century era Gundam fans.

When I say poor Heero, i mean, he had a sad past, he doesn't have a family, he was brought up as a ruthless killer. I found it pretty sad, at least to me.
Yes, Relena Peacecraft, she always reminds me of Lacus...cept she isn't a coordy....and doesn't sing....and doesn't have pink hair...kay, at least morally! The way she helped Heero is very similar to the way Lacus helped Kira, in my eyes anyway. Cept, Kira wasn't a killer, brought up horribly.
I love GW, even though it is considered to a bad anime to some, I like it anyways. It introduced me to mecha animes, which I adore, by the way.
-
yup yup.. i mentioned in the GSD topic.. that lacus reminded me of relena from GW and kira of heero.. XD hehe..
oh ok.. i get it now.. yea he did have a sad past.. and he keeps making it like that... why didn't he just stay with relena.. that would have made my life so much more easier... happy endings for anime is hard to come by.. or i'm never satisifed.. HAHA!!!
all my favourite episodes of GW would have to be the relena and heero episodes.. HAHA!! i remember i use to only download those first.. HAHA!! i was funny back then.. i think it was episode 27 that was an episode based on talking about heero and relena's relationship?? i think.. i don't remember clearly.. hehe
i want to see the jap version now.. now that i think about it.. the english voices sound too deep... for everyone.. even relena. maybe i'll buy the whole GW series.. hehe
-
Heero was also homeless until he was taken in by Doctor J.....this was my first mecha anime too, unless you count that weird Astroboy....
o.O you sure know your gundams.. haha.. i only most of them.. not all of them though.. lolz.. i'm not a big fan on the mecha..
I don't like them that much, but I mangaed to remember their names.
Funnily enough though, I'm not a big fan of Relena....oh, and that Zechs guy is def her brother...his assistant watches out for Relena for him, to make him happy.
I prfer a shonen-ai gundam wing though, so for me, Heero goes with Duo, and Quatre and Trowa go together!
-
O.O i'm not a big fan of yaoi AT ALL!!! so i don't support those pairings.. lolz
duo is funny.. hehe he's cool with heildi?? is that her name.. O.O haha i don't remember too well.. lolz
quatre is such a sweet guy.. i love him.. he was my favourite character for a while and then i started understanding more of GW.. then i loved heero and relena more.. XD YEA!! trowa goes with catherine right?? whooo o.O i remember the pairings lolz.. i don't think quatre had a female person he would go with.. that dorothy girl keeps me out.. LMAO!!!!
and then there's umm that last guy.. what's his name.. umm wu-fai?? O.O is that it?!?!? lmao.. i don't remember his name.. o.O whoo.. he goes with umm some commander girl right?? the one with the 2 pigtails.. hehe.. and then zechs/ or bro of relena (don't know how to spell his name.. hehe) goes with uh that short hair girl.. HAHA!!
i don't remember most of the name.. o.O..
-
Wufei Chang - is that who you mean? He seems to go with Meiran. And Duo's normally coupled with Hilde, yes.
Quatre has to be my second favourite character...although I will always prefer Heero! Not the Perfect Soldier - just perfect!
-
One of the most debated of the series.
It's also the second most mocked series by old-school Universal Century era Gundam fans.
Hm, I guess that the number one slot either falls to G Gundam or G-Saviour. ^^
-
I like gundam Wing though, maybe because its my first, and like a good series in my opinion, even though the gundams looked sucky sometimes >_>
-
it was a confusing series in the beginning for me but i still loved it.. i would miss like all the episodes on tv and get pissed off but that was when i didn't know about downloading.. o.O HAHA!! and then i watched it again and got it.. hehe.. YEA! go me..
this gundam series has a more confusing story line than gundam seed i think.. lolz.. i mean like a secret princess??? a secret brother?? whoo.. o.O and then relena becomes a queen!!! O.O WHOO!!! haha.. and then the 2 main charcter guys are called something too because they have specail MS right?? but i don't remember what??
and in GW, they use mobile DOLLS!!! where there are no humans operating INSIDE THEM.. but they have a control room somewhere and they can control them all in there. like dorothy.. *shiver.. i still don't like that girl.. LMAO!!
-
Ah, yes. The AI suits were always fun. I liked the G-Bits from Gundam X better, though. >_>
Mainly because they had the Satellite Cannon system. And believe me when I say that makes Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle look like a toy. O_o
-
O.O WHOO!!! haha.. and then the 2 main charcter guys are called something too because they have specail MS right?? but i don't remember what??
Do you mean like Duo and Heero? All I know is, Heero is Pilot 1/Perfect Soldier, and Duo is Pilot 2/Shingami - god of death
-
I absolutely love this series. <3 One of the first Gundam series I've ever seen. I love Heero but I feel so sad for him. ;_; The Yaoi pairings in G Wing are so cute. lol [is a Yaoi fangirl and also a het] ;P The plotline at first was confusing to me too. x.X; I didn't get it until I rewatched it 2 times. I'm kinda slow.... :haha:
-
Do you mean like Duo and Heero? All I know is, Heero is Pilot 1/Perfect Soldier, and Duo is Pilot 2/Shingami - god of death
Something interesting about that:
In the ones played on tv (cartoon network) here in Australia
Duo was refered to as 'The Great Destroyer'
however in the DVD release it is 'The God of Death'
strange isn't it
-
Yup. But isn't Shinigami's literal translation, god of death anyway? Or he IS the god of death...I can't really remember....
Ok...so Heero's 1, Duo's 2....and I'm pretty sure Wufei is pilot 5....
Out of Quatre and Trowa, which is 3 and which is 4?
-
Heero : Pilot 1
Duo : Pilot 2
Quatre : Pilot 3
Trowa : Pilot 4
Wufei : Pilot 5
been a while, but I'm pretty sure that is the order.
-
Yup, me think so too. The plotline for that show was messed, but so intersting, I'd watch an episode at least twice, just to make sure I got everything. I was one crazy fangirl >.<

I love this series sooo much^__^ I wish that it would still be on TV though so that I could tape it cause it's really cool. The only thign I didn't get much about it ws the politics type stuff but I was young when I watched it so I think if I watched it now I'd probably understand it^^;;lol
-
*starry eyes.. for the pictures.. HAHA i LOVE the heero pictures.. hehe..
no for the special thing.. i don't mean that.. i mean like they were really special pilots.. i think it's because they could pilot MS called gundams right?? and only the 5 of the main character guys could right?? i don't remember.. i think i should watch gundam wing again.. HAHA
-
I don't think they were "special" so much as highly trained. I'd say that Zechs was the only really "special" pilot, what with his uncanny ability to pilot the Tallgeese 1 and all. I mean, the Gundams were cool and all...but Tallgeese had a friggin' huge cannon and had no less than three distinct variations throughout the series and movie. And unlike the other pilots, Zechs was friggin' sweet. That mask was awesome.
-
Hmmm...but Quatre and Heero were 'special' pilots too....Heero was so highly trained (and so strong - did you seem him bend thoseprison bars whilst rescuing Duo from that prison). And Quatre had that whole abilty to sense others emotions going on...that empathy thing.
-
Yes, but did you see them pilot a suit so demanding on the user that only two people ever managed to use it? I mean, from what I saw...the gundams were just really good suits. If you tossed a regular pilot in 'em, they could probably fly it. Not well, but they could fly it. I'll artfully ignore the Zero System for the sake of this argument, for that's a system not originally designed for the suits.
I mean, come on. The last normal pilot who got in the Tallgeese had a heart attack from the strain. O_o
-
Have you noticed how many names are numbers? I mean come on....HEERO means either one/single, there's DUO, QUATRE, TREIZE....oh, and that other one, SOLO
Did I miss anyone out? And why are there so many number names?!
-
Never knew that, but then again I don't know Japanese :D
-
I noticed that too. I find it odd as well, all I know that Heero, Quatre, Duo, and Treize and, erm, others, are numbers, hmmmm, I wonder.
-
whoo.. i never noticed that until you guys mentioned it.. O.o that's weird.. lolz.. XD
anyone also see endless waltz.. if that's what it's called in jap too. i saw it. XD hehe. it's wicked.. love the music especially.. XD hehe.. i think i need to rewatch everything to understand it more now
i didn't quite get endless waltz before. it was a bit confusing but i got most of it.. umm i think..
-
I love Endless Waltz...lots of 1 X R moments ^^
-
1 x R moments.. HAHA!! yup yup.. i love the part where relena hugs heero.. XD hehe such a good part. YEA!!! hehe
the whole point was really to save relena ne?? for heero.. hehe..
-
I think so, of course other subplots too. Haven't watch that movie in the longest time, need to re-watch it ^^
-
the last time i watched any gundam wing was like 2 years back i believe.. HAHA!! pretty long time.. i'll have to rewatch it one day to get the whole story plot and maybe i'll check out the jap version.. haha never heard their jap voices before hehe..
-
Really? IMO, I love the jap voices, especially Heero's he sounded so damn hot.....erm, yeah >_>
-
I love Endless Waltz! The drawing is fantastic - and Heero looks even better!
-
Have you noticed how many names are numbers? I mean come on....HEERO means either one/single, there's DUO, QUATRE, TREIZE....oh, and that other one, SOLO
Did I miss anyone out? And why are there so many number names?!
lol, oh my god, i never realised that untill now !
so there could be like a deeper meaning to hier names too.
i get intrested in an anime when it starts to get complex and reveal deeper meanings :D hmm
-
*nods*
That was a definite plus! ^^
-
Well, I like series with pretty explosions that I don't have to think too hard about. And fighting anime. The more stereotypical, the better.
And yeah, I'm absolutely serious. Give me GaoGaiGar or Law of Ueki or something along that vein over Evangelion or Alien 9 or RahXephon anyday. >_0
-
i enjoy fighting anime too. weird really. considering i don't enjoy violence. lolz. XD and i don't like watching live action fight scense. o.O haha
one thing i really enjoy about gundam wing is relena's and heero's relationship.. XD i use to know all the episodes with them together but i sort of forgot..
was it like episode 4 or 6 or 7. O.O i don't remember. but it was the school party one, where they're dancing. and then suddenly they get attacked and heero goes to his gundam. later he 'tries' to kill relena but can't and he just mad then flies away. o.O i love that scene. hehe
another one which is the best would have to be the last scene with them together in the series. episoe 49?? the second last episode i think. when heero is taking off and relena goes and tells him to not go. and they're both in space suits.. o.O i was like awwwwww what a great scene. XD
heero doesn't show it of course. but we can all tell he likes relena.. even love.
the very last scene is also good. the birthday present. i want a bear from heero. hehe. i jsut don't get the ripping card part. ok heero did it for her invitation before but i still don't really get it. ?_? haha..
-
I saw a clip of Heero tearing up a piece of paper that Relena had given him...what was that? I can't remember....
-
Her birthday invitation (in the second episode I think)
(I don't have the series with me so I can't be sure)
-
Soon as I have enough money, I'll buy the DVDs...unless anyone knows any download sites?
-
Since it would be illegal to download as it is licensed, I would definitely not recommend going to boxtorrents.com (http://boxtorrents.com), registering an account, and searching for Gundam Wing.
>_>
<_<
-
if you use a normal program.. you can download gundam wing dubbed. that's how i always download it.
i used imesh before but now i use ares lite.
but then i guess going out and buying the dvds is better. i'm planning on doing that. since i never saw the jap version of GW before.
-
So are any of you guys like the pilots?
-
Help! I need clips (but not bittorrent - they go funny in WMM) of Heero from Gunda Wing, so I can make an amv. Does anyone know sites with clips or music vids?
-
I like this anime. Although, I still don't completely understand the storyline. My brother never bothered to explain it to me. He'd just say, " It's too complicating... " and leave it at that. :dodge:
Duo is great! I love Relena.. ( don't hurt me. >>; ) and, I personally like Heero x Relena together. >3
-
Well, since I'm in a good mood and this clip of Wing Zero Custom's Rolling Twin Beam Rifle is simply too good to pass up...here it is, courtesy of Super Robot Taisen @3.

-
Oh wow! Awesome clip! That's from one of the games, right?
-
Yep, the new one which just came out. I'm eagerly awaiting my copy...which should get here today or tomorrow. ^^

Gundam Wing was my first Gundam series and I still like it the best. All the characters in it are just so hot! Especially Heero and Duo! Duo is my favorite of the Gundam pilots because well, he's just so cool! And I love his Gundam Deathscythe Hell! Especially when it gets that makeover later on in the series. I even have a desktop background of Duo and Deathsycthe right now! And a Duo Winamp skin, too! I used to watch Gundam Wing all the time when it was on CN, even when it was in reruns. I remember being so disappointed when they showed those two recap episodes back-to-back. I thought they were so boring that I skipped them because I wanted to see what was going to happen next! Does anyone else think Heero looked cooler piloting the Epyon (or however it was spelt) rather than the Wing Zero? Personally, I think Heero should've stuck with the former! Who cares if it was built by Treize?! It's Heero's now! Mwahahahaha! Anyway, my favorite Gundam couple was Heero x Duo but I also liked Relena's character, just not her together with Heero. Treize x Zechs is also very hot. *drools* I wonder if the thing about the teddy bears from CCS applies to the Gundam Wing universe as well and now Heero and Relena could become a couple since he gave her a teddy bear.
I have the dub of Endless Waltz on VHS but I personally thought it was kind of disappointing. It just wasn't as complex as the plot of the TV show to me and Wu Fei kind of got on my nerves, but then again, he always kind of got on my nerves. I love everybody else, though! And White Reflection, the ending theme song for Endless Waltz was just awesome! But I don't see how Trowa could kiss anybody with that hairstyle of his. Wouldn't his long bangs stab somebody else in their eye? ^^;; I've recently started downloading the Japanese version of Gundam Wing. I now have up to episode six of it on my computer! I love seeing all the uncut footage and hearing the cool Japanese opening and ending theme songs, but it feels kind of weird listening to the Japanese seiyuu after hearing the English VAs for such a long time. In a way, I kind of actually prefer the English VAs over the Japanese seiyuu. I think Gundam Wing was one of the better dubs out there. Even the edited version wasn't all that bad. And Ruby Chan, I love those Gundam Wing pics you posted! I definetly love that possesive one of Heero and Duo! Oh yeah, and I still want one of those Deathscythe Gundam Wing model kit thingies!
-
Gundam wing was actually the first anime that I watched and knew what anime was. :hello2: I had seen the american show "cardcaptors" but that has been too far butchered to call anime. :XD: Wing was actually my favorive show for a while. :keke:
-
Sigh......I love this show, but all I've seen are music videos, pictures, episodes guides and fanfiction......the only torrents of Gundam Wing I can find are OGM, so they're pretty useless to me. But I still adore this series, and I now have most of the character songs.
Trowa's Clown song is so sad! Have you read the translated lyircs? They really show how he truly feels about his life.
It’s so cold
I’m getting frozen in the moon’s embrace ---
And so it’s all pouring down on me…
All alone in the night that just draws closer and closer…
And this tear…
It’s always hidden in this smiling mask…
But there’s still that painful truth in my heart ---
Left somewhere there…
And while performing in the middle of the light,
I’m just supposed to feel nothing but happiness…
I’m just supposed to leave behind all my sadness…
I feel loneliness --- but the show must still go on…
I could get tired but not forget such things as dreams
I could never bring myself to disappoint one’s love…
And although my heart still remains in this emptiness,
I can never leave behind my memories…
Learn all you can about that clown…
And once again,
I’m walking away from the spotlight
Embracing only these pretensions…
Yet tonight, this curtain would still rise…
And this tear…
Always stopping short within the shadows of a smile…
But that painful truth in my heart is only mine ---
I’m only crushed, then painted, then… nothing more…
And while playacting for such a drag of time,
There is that happiness abandoned…
Using the sadness locked up deep within me,
I now create that smile on my face…
And those small eyes would surely shine
the innocence of children…
And I’ll be building now what I believe in
Gently with the spirit right infront of me…
Let the mask fall off…
I’m never used to feeling that thing called love…
I’m never ever shown just what love is…
There is no more than once of that brightness for me ---
But my heart is overflowing with a strange something…
A clown also knows what a tear is…
A clown also knows what a tear is…
So sad! But I also like his flute duet with Quatre's violin!
If anyone wants Gundam Wing songs, try this site!

...OGM? I thought that was just a sound file type that's not supported by my Creative Zen Touch. >_>
But yeah, what player do you use? If you can't get it to work on what you have, you might want to update your codecs, change your player to VLC, and see if that helps.

Heero is so cool! i love him
but reelena sucks
she is the worst, she isn't even beautiful she is horrible
she is the only character of gundam wing i hate!
she believes that heero will be always there for her and.. no heero doesn't love her!
-
I really love Gundam Wing. I've seen alot of Gundam series, and Wing is by far my favorite. It has a very deep and meaningful storyline and there is symbolism everywhere.
As it was pointed out, most of the main characters are named after a number. Heero means 1, Duo means 2, Trowa means 3, Quatre means 4, and Wufei means 5 in some language.
-
my favorite couple is heero and duo
relena is horrible i didn't like her not for heero or somebody else.
she sucks!
