Wow finally something a bit more substantial on Frozen Teardrop. Wish someone would translate more of it too.

I was under the impression that Frozen Teardrop wasn't very good

The overall consensus is yes the writing is pretty bad. This isn't just fangirls/fujoshi talking either. There is a lot of ret-con going on and characters are often out of character. It's like terrible fanfiction except that it's official.

However, the art for Frozen Teardrop is absolutely gorgeous.

Its meh from what i've read/hear. its just everyone gets frozen in ice or has a twin/clone. A lot of people call it a bad fan fiction but eh. I'm having more fun reading the Gundam Wing Endless Waltz: Glory of the Losers manga

its just Wing never really needed a sequel after all with the ending EW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKyuRnhExNA
"and Mobile Suits, Including the Gundams, were never seen again. The end"

When I read about the news about the second blu-ray box for Gundam Wing, my first thought was that of wondering if that means we could eventually see someone releasing a blu ray version over here. That is, after the Japanese licensors have had their chance to sell their target amount of copies at their price.

I really hope so. It was so popular over here, and the original series hasn't aged well. I watched a few episodes of my DVD's and was sad to see how bad it looked. The only thing I won't look forward to is the price tag.....

It had a remastered DVD and now this BD, I think that's about it. Or if that's not all of it, that's all that matters. This is now definitive until they do another transfer for another future format.
