Gundam Wing was the first show of the Gundam franchise that I saw. Namely because it was on Toonami (I was ten, I couldn't import anime). After re-watching it many times, it has become of my favorites.

The story isn't bad at all once it's realized it more about the organizations and the war itself, instead of mecha fighting. The plot can be a bit choppy at times, but that was because of writers quitting every ten minutes (which is why episodes 28-29 are recaps. *Explained in Episode Zero Manga*). The characters are interesting themselves, and seem one dimensional at first, but as the series ... progresses you learn more about them.

I gave the art a 6. This is mainly because there wasn't much shading done in the first half of the series, and the character designs change a bit (especially with Heero). It really doesn't detract from the quality of the series though. (The show was competting with Mobile Suit Gundam: The 0.8. MS Team. Both shows were being produced at the same time.)

Overall it's very enjoyable for those who are into war shows and into some mecha fighting. It's not s shounen anime, so don't expect it to be!

Check out this show with an open-mind! Ignore what people say about it being a Yaoi fest. That's just an offshoot of the fandom.
