the second alternate gundam universe tale ( g gundam be the first ) and gundam wing be yet another different view into the gundam verse . the familiar element be find but gundam wing be actually different then it counterpart . the big be the gundams be nothing more than terrorist combat one lone organization . in truth and the series doesn not really become a show about war until episode 7 but in truth the real conflict and the eve war and do not happen until the late episode . the great positive of this series be it character . all the main character be flesh out throughout the 49 episode run and you can really sympathize with each of the role their put in . another great plus be the fantastic character and mecha design of the series . the design put some of it other gundam counterpart to shame . one of the big criticism of this series be how many die hard uc fan claim rip off of the original uc saga . why gundam wing get this rap when the more apparent uc clone of gundam seed be out there be beyond me . true there be many moment lift but their told in new way and there be distinct difference as well . take for example and the usual comparison of zechs merquise and uc icon char aznable . throughout the series and zechs be more the outcast in the alliance and in way oz as well and while the red comet be shin symbol of zeon . another big difference be the fact zechs lose a lot soldier under his command hence the other nickname he give in the early episode represent killer of his own men . char isn not give this label . the problem with this series isn not the philosophy mumbo jumbo but two problem . the first be the reused animation footage of the gundams attack . sure it fun see heavy arm attack tank and m and and plan the first time . but on it fourth re use scene like this do get old . the second problem be that the entire series be suppose to take place during an entire year . if you really think about all the event spring in the series and a lot happen in just one lone year . but i guess you can easily dismiss this fact when ignore the intro first line every so often . a it rank and this be probably the best of the alternate universe gundam tale and a great introduction into the gundam world . after all and this be the very first gundam anime to air in the u television .
