Gundam Wing has one of the most
impressive storylines which is probably one of the reasons why
it became so popular. I don't know if it's just me, but I
think everybody loves big robots blowing each other up. But
it's just not explosions and fighting, this anime focuses more
on the story. There is actually very little fighting compared
with other animes, around 3 - 5 min per show. They focused on
the story and delivered big time. A group of young kids get to
use Gundams to wage war against a corporation that wants to
take over the colonies. Bam right there we have 50 solid
episodes.
This is one of the first impression about an anime. Whether it
is filled with actions, fighting and how good the graphics
are. Gundam Wing doesn't offer much of the battle scenes but
once you see it, you'll agree that the detail on the gundams
are awesome. I gave it an ok score because the gundams did
look good, but the rest of the enemies look very plain. All
Leos look the same etc... they are the same model but I think
they could have fixed that by adding some varieties.
I thought the sound effects were moderately good. They have a
whole array of different kinds of explosions for different
kinds of weapons. The actual music throughout the story is
pretty catchy.
This has got to be one of the best aspects about this anime.
The characters are just perfect for their role. They have
different personalities for each pilot and the voices of the
characters match them. A good casting job on the voices and
very good character development.
