This time around i’m going to be doing an older show that is one of my favorites that I still watch time to time. Gundam Wing is a 90’s anime show about 5 young boys that are sent to earth from space in order to the Earth military organization called OZ. Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei are the pilots that are each assigned certain missions to cripple OZ. They are highly trained and each pilot a mobile suit called a gundam that has unique attributes based on the pilots.

Heero Yui is the pilot of wing gundam and then later on wing zero. The series mainly revolves around him as he battles Zechs Marchese/Miliardo Peacecraft a top OZ mobile suit pilot. Plus a relationship with Relena Darlian/Relena Peacecraft who acts like a spoiled rich girl, but later on tries to unifiy peace between the earth and space colonies that are at war with each other. Duo Maxwell pilots the deathscythe and then after the suit is destroyed, he pilots the deathsythe hell. Trowa Barton pilots the heavyarms while also working in a traveling circus act undercover, he later pilots a custom heavyarms unit. Next is Wufei Chang the pilot of shenlong and then it gets upgraded to altron. Last is Quatre Rabeba Winner who pilots the sandrock and then later an upgraded version. Quatre is mostly a peaceful person that doesn’t look like a mobile suit pilot. He also is responsible for building wing zero which almost cause Quatre to lose his sanity from the dangerous ZERO system which results in him killing anyone.

Gundam wing is a 49 episode series with a movie set 1 year after the end of the series called Endless Waltz. The plot in the story was very interesting revolving around the OZ military structure. At the beginning OZ was whole then later on the organization broke up into factions that fought against each other. Plus the gundam pilots mission at first was to destroy the Earth military but by the end they band together with the resolve to protect both earth and the space colonies. Another good part was the interactions between Heero and his nemesis Zechs with battles and also there conversations through out the series.

Even though this anime series was made in the mid 90’s. Today’s video game companies still put in familiar gundam mobile suits for fun. Such as in Another Century Episode franchise, and the Super Robot Wars Z franchise plus the model kits a fun as hell to put together. Even though gundam wing doesn’t use graphics like in cg animation today, it still has a great story line packed with action and emotional scenes. Thats why its is such an enjoyable series to watch.
