gundam wing to me happen to be a good anime . a bit slow moving ( especially around the middle of the series ) and but over all enjoyable . now before anyone jump on my case and call me a winger and i will admit that i have watch all of the original gundam and gundam 0080 and 0083 and the 08th m team and and gundam seed . i will admit that there be a few problem with the story telling and a few character may seem to be rip offs ( i. e. zechs marquise to the original gundam char ) and but this be an alternate universe show base on the original series and a be seed . if you wish to view this series make sure that you watch the original gundam first and and then know that you be watch an au series .
