i be not a big fan of most anime and but gundam wing be truly something else . gundam wing lack all of that stereotypical melodrama that you might think of when you think of anime and since the number of joke make over the 17 hour would only be in the double digit and gundam wing get right down to business . gundam wing be as much of a political thriller a it be an action series . large part focus on the diplomatic dealing of a war and not only the battle . though battle animation lack extreme detail in case where it would just be a pain to animate and individual duel between gundams be almost piece of art consider the animate use of complex mechanic and rapid movement . to my knowledge and this 49 episode plus one movie series be pick up by cartoon network in 2000 and and then professionally dub by them too . the dubbing be simply flawless . not only do every word say match up and but the voice use truly make the character much more believable . many believe that it be best to watch anime with sub in english and but i simply do not have the determination to do that . not only be the voice good and but the score use over the series be quite impressive . i will just say it leave me scour the net in vain to find a soundtrack . the plot of this series be what will truly hook viewer and and no and not hook you like some prime time drama like lose which be only make for the purpose of hook you . explain the plot deeply would lead to many spoiler and since many of the character do not even have name until quite a few episode into the series . the rough idea of the series be that earth and it now independent space colony be have difficulty maintain peace . thus a war be start and lead to military coup and elaborate diplomatic situation . i feel that any more detail would begin to give away information and which be crucial to the plot . i will end here say that this series be great for anyone that like anime and anyone that think all anime be stupid ( they have good reason to think so ) and and anyone look to get into anime with a serious tone to it .
