Seed is decent... it starts lame but gets better in the end. Seed Destiny... Starts Great! Child Solders, actually TRAINED to fight in combat! new characters! new tensions! new mystery's!... then a fuckin colony drop starts the second great war of CE and it slowly starts to go down hill. by Ep 34 shits fucked
Seed and Seed Destiny are basically the plot of the original Gundam and Zeta with some elements moved around so you aren't watching an exact copy of those shows. And to top it all off you have some extra space autism thrown in to make the main characters be even more special snowflakes in their universe than what is normal for a Gundam show. Also the shows have this thing about not actually killing off characters even though they give them a dramatic "death" scene that is entirely appropriate for them to die in.
Started rewatching it with my never-watched-any-Gundam fiancee the other day. I thought, _Oh hey this was my first Gundam and I remember it being badass!_ Four episodes in I was cringing so hard I almost became a black hole, but then she turned to me and said, "This is fantastic! It's the funniest shit I've seen in months!"
I didn't grow up with Wing, and I watched it immediately after watching the original Gundam. I kinda checked my brain at the door and watched it for 90's cheese :)
Look, this series is great, because it has the best response to a birthday invitation ever.... Spoilers... Here we go.. You rip up that invitation, smile at the girl that invited you, lean in and threaten, no, promise, to kill her. Commence in said psychopath being the object of affection for 49 episodes and a movie.
@@WeHeartGiantRobots I mean no one seems to be able to contain him with military force, so perhaps the local Constable would be out of their depth. Also, ya know he's got a really cool ride, and I, just, feel like he hides because he's really sensitive. I just want to fix him. *SMH at Relena*
Listen, I loved Heero and Relena's Relationship mainly because of the WTF-factor and also because I legitimately liked the dynamic between an actual pacifist having to stand up for both herself and the innocent people involved in this nonsense and a Killer who's desperately trying to figure out a reason for all the killing he's been born and raised to do heartlessly but can't. That said, holy shit is their relationship complete nonsense and unhealthy to the extreme. Flirting should never be "Aren't you gonna kill me?" "Of course" Some one actually wrote a line like that and thought, sure why not.
I'd actually kinda like to give IBO a second viewing after witnessing Wing in all its bloated glory. And also inflict it upon Rob cos why the fuck should he be happy.
I feel you. I'm 29 and a few years ago I tried rewatching Gundam Wing and I was surprised with how much it doesn't hold up. I think the only things from my media consumption as a kid that are still great are Star Fox 64 and FLCL.
@@Thunderous117 I feel you on that. With Star Fox it was surprising and refreshing just how quickly you can just start engaging with the core mechanics. Subjectively great music, branching paths within and without missions, iconic memes, and enough diverse mechanics for the length of the campaign (Landmaster and the Blue-Marine). I was missing that pure, distilled gaming that I feel is largely devoid in a lot of media today. Thinking a little more, the only game that fits that description these years is Rocket League.
I've made my gundam Wing amv back in the day, and I can scientifically proof that all the shite we think was cool in this series happened in the first 8, maybe stretching it out to 12 episodes at best. Great concept, ran nicely for 3 hrs, and then there is 17 more hours of meh with 10 minutes of pretty cool stuff, that actually is pretty tame under scrutiny. Nostalgia can be a bitch.
This channel is so bloody aesthetic, thought-out & hilarious ("Right, before I go into this ... I f*ckin' HATE Gundam Wing." x_x). It's actually painful, because I'd want for your channel/videos to be secret & exclusive-cool kids only (like they seem to be now), but you bois also deserve 4+ more zeroes (f*cking WING ZEROES) after your view counts/likes/subs/etc. because truth be told these videos are so flash that watching them instantly makes me cooler & smarter ... JUST! WILD! BEAT!
... and that exact quote of hers is the very reason that I /dynamited/ my (Limited Edition) Nancy Reagan anime figurine². ²I do not own even one anime figurine.
It wouldn't have done well without the music. So well done! Like, you can just listen to the sound track without any reference to the series, and you'll feel yourself in the same emotional state as the characters in the series.
Look... What we remember fondly is basically the cool character designs and the wicked Gundam mechs. Fuck the story or the characters, I just loved watching an Avengers style team of well designed mechs murdering thousands of faceless non gundam mechs. A giant machine gun arm, a huge laser scythe... I mean for a twelve year old boy, it was pretty awesome if you don't care about story and just want to watch giant robots blow up other giant robots. For Gunpla builders, there's some great designs in this show. But yeah, they totally blew the story and the characters
Yeah, if there's one thing that Wing proves it's that Kunio Okawara is the absolute king of mechanical design. Man makes the giant robots real hype looking.
ight been binging a lot of ur content rn, the "if you are a children f-f-fuck off now" got me laughing so hard i had to leave a comment, great nerd content, i love the random references yall make and the general comedy! cheers!!!
Wing made me fall in love with Gundam but I honestly don’t remember the plot that well. I mostly stick to UC timeline, it has the most lore and history. And Char. Wing has wannabe Char, Zecks or whatever. Ironically Zecks was my intro to the Char archetype (Charcetype?), and I remember thinking he was cool as a kid. But then I saw the original series and I was like “Ah, well Zecks is just a poseur.”
Honestly I had the opposite reaction to rewatching Gundam Wing. I spent so many years hearing that "Gundam Wing sucks actually" that when I watched it to ruin my childhood, I actually quite enjoyed it. It's nowhere near the best of Gundam, but it occupies the exact middle ground of Gundam series--right next to Gundam 00, which is average for completely different reasons. I've also got a theory that the series was originally meant to be a book series: they hired a novelist to write the series (who had no experience script writing) and the title is mobile REPORT Gundam Wing instead of mobile suit (which may be the only time this is done besides G Gundam). I think REPORT meant it was supposed to be something written down and read in universe (like you'd have a Dracula style multiple point of view story). Honestly, I'd watch it again over 00, just because its a great series to just dissect and study and try to figure out the choices.
Lol! You guys hit the nail on the head with a lot of this stuff. I will readily admit that I am completely incapable of judging this show objectively. I was part of the Toonami crowd when it first aired. I remember those awesome Peter Cullen "Optimus Prime" voice ads for the show and everything. So while I objectively agree with the case you've laid out, it doesn't change the fact I loved the show when I was younger and still look back on it fondly (with full knowledge of how a lot of things don't make sense, these "organizations" aren't really explained all that well, and that child soldiers are definitely not a good thing in any situation). I cannot hate this show. Just can't. But great work guys! Keep it up!
Hey man, I 100% respect that. We all have those shows from our childhood that, no matter what happens or how you change when you older, you look back on fondly. If this is that show for you, there's nothing wrong with that: I can totally see how this would appeal. Hell, it's still got it's appeal even now.
I love how many hype mecha fights are in this show. I watched the after midnight airing on the Canadian equivalent of Cartoon Network growing up, and i just finished watching the series again. I still love this show
Gundam G is surprisingly fun imho, it lures you into a thinking it will follow a stupid formulaic plot the first few episodes, and then throws you an curveball and does something completely else. It is a lot more entertaining than expected, the main cast eventually gets in to a comfortable vibe that I would almost compare to the Lupin the 3rd gang.
Gundam Wing. Or as I'd like to call it, posh Zeta Gundam with a splash of Char's Counterattack, as well as a slice of bishonen nobility and child soldiers. Can't forget the child soldiers at 5:56. That's a Gundam staple at this point. The first Gundam pilot was some random tech nerd, the second Gundam pilot was some autistic kid who punched a leatherneck for calling him a girl, and the third was a junk scavenger who had a midichlorian count so high that it puts Anakin Skywalker to shame. So Gundam Wing decided to go overboard with it and they gave you five child soldiers right off the bat. Also, I binge-watched 26 episodes of Wing in a single night. I feel fine. Also, Duo and Trowa are likeable. Decent, even.
I just got so wasted on the story that I decided to make my own rewrite of it one day. I added the Titans plus Judau's crew from UC Gundam as the good guys (led by a still-living Jerid Messa and his gal Mouar Pharaoh, and they have the Alexandria as their home ship) working with OZ to make the world better, while hunting down the five Gundam pilots who are fugitives from justice. I also added the Decepticons in because why not, with Shockwave infecting the mobile dolls with Dark Energon to turn them into Terrorcons and taking over a good chunk of the planet, which necessitated a colony drop to get rid of his infected mobile doll army. Because it isn't Gundam unless you drop a massive colony into the Earth. Traditions are important.
I've seen Gundam Wing, 08th Ms team, G Gundam, Mobile suit Gundam, and Mobile suit zeta Gundam and wing was the best of all of them. I did first watch it on toonami as a kid but I rewatched it in early 2018 along with the first Time watches of the others except G Gundam which I also saw on toonami so it's not nostalgia
I loved wing but i couldnt understand it until like half way through. I loved all 5 of the gundam piolets exept for the one who thinks he the main chracter.
The way Cartoon Network did the promo for Gundam Wing; they could hype up dying of AIDS with that promo. Teenagers (children essentially) are shit characters....always always always. Even (ESPECIALLY) Shinji from evangelion.
I uh think I'll pass on this series, don't quite have the nostalgia for it, because I didn't watch it as a kid I was fortunate enough to get my start in mecha with robotech and neon genesis Evangelian
We Heart Giant Robots exactly! I started with a watered down macross and a heartbreaking, depression riddled existential crisis. Might as well jump right into the deep end. It made cowboy bebop even more of a joy to watch
I finally was able to finish the original Evangelion when it came out on Netflix...despite all it's flaws, absolutely one of my favorites. Just, fuck the last episode.
18:37 It was 1225 minutes long, not 625... (and yes, my username was inspired from that show.... I grew up with it when I was ten, and the giant robots were friggin cool ok?)
@@WeHeartGiantRobots well Gundam Wing isn't the best Gundam show I guess then.

And if you need a place to start Gundam, go watch Iron blooded orphans of you wanna watch The good shows in chronological order, if not then watch gundam 0080 war in a pocket, then watch gundam the origin, or if you’re into the politics and backstory to appreciate all other Gundam shows more, the watch Gundam The Origin, JUST DO IT, WATCH GUNDAM THE ORIGIN, YOU WILL NEVER BE A TRUE FAN UNTIL YOU FINISH GUNDAM THE ORIGIN
I am one of the unfortunate that watched Gundam Wing recently, like, literally last December, and my good lord, that was the worst Gundam I've ever watched in my life, even worse than 0083, that guess what, has another terrible romantic pair, still not as bad as Wing though Wing has a lot of good things, don't get me wrong, mainly Treize, 0 system, duo, Miliardo (if you ignore the fact that he changed sides 8 times more or less) and the last arc of Heero, but everything is shadowed by Relena, my God, I never wanted a literal child die so fuckin much, I was hoping that someone fucking unloaded a minigun at her face, the fact that she is so idolized and treated like a Godness alongside us humans infuriates me, she did nothing to deserve a third of what she gets called, and the motherfuckers made her a Queen, why the fuck? she's 14 if I remember correctly, and you guys are trusting peace to some dumb bitch who thinks that by completely disarming the world you'll have true pacifism, this utopia of her is so goddamn terrible that Milliardo's "I'm gonna nuke everyone so they are afraid of war" bs of a plan makes not only more sense, but also made me fuckin cheer for it
Man, wing was my getaway drug in to mecha and anime as well. And to this day is one of my favourite series. Still I won't defend it as if it were more than what it is, a mediocre product that needed more time in the oven.
Poor ol' Shinji gets a lot of shit. He's what happens when you actually take a traumatised young man and chuck him into a conflict he's in no way prepared for. I've always read him as a satire of characters like Heero.
@@WeHeartGiantRobots thats definitely true he is the opposite of Heero. I do like evangelion I just feel like I relate more to the Heero. I actually never watched Gundam Wing growing up even though I am in the age range to have done so. I thought it looked boring back in the day and wanted more samurai jack or dragon ball haha
I also absolutely love this channel, it’s such a big help with trying to find a decent gundam series to watch and show to people who aren’t even into mecha anime. It would be sweet if you guys would take a look at war in the pocket. Also Wing is fucking ass
See all the snow flakes drop on the sun man. If there is tears after they disappear is it then so sureal for a man to mourn? Knowing all those lost, and still with these hands so numb. Your fragile to me. Glass shards have more edge. For the open hand to be on your chanel thanks dude.

JUST TO SUFFER.
Seed is decent... it starts lame but gets better in the end.

Gundam aimed not to be a shonen but a war drama, so I’d say it’s probably a negative if it’s doing exactly the opposite of what it should do.
It's not exactly what you'd call a metric for success, no.
We Heart Giant Robots which part isn’t successful? The shonen or war drama?
@@QuattroPogjeena Honestly neither, my dude, but definitely not the war drama part.
We Heart Giant Robots really :(?
My favourite is 0080: War In The Pocket and that a war drama (or anti-war drama)
gundam wing and gundam seed are the only two gundam series so bad I had to stop watching them.
Skip the first five minutes
that's the filter
I also absolutely love this channel, it’s such a big help with trying to find a decent gundam series to watch and show to people who aren’t even into mecha anime. It would be sweet if you guys would take a look at war in the pocket.
Also
Wing is fucking ass
Oh you better believe War In The Pocket is on our to-watch list, my dude.
See all the snow flakes drop on the sun man.
If there is tears after they disappear is it then so sureal for a man to mourn?
Knowing all those lost, and still with these hands so numb.
Your fragile to me.
Glass shards have more edge.
For the open hand to be on your chanel thanks dude.
i kinda like wing because its so bad and i never watched it in my childhood
But the original fullmetal alchemist was a bad show.....
Hey man, everyone has a soft spot for their first anime series.
Now this show sucked ASS, and is the sole reason why Gundam didn’t get on in America...
