I wonder if this will lead them to do anything with Frozen Teardrop. Not like a full on adaptation or anything, but like an ONA for one of the volumes at a little more elaborate scale than the picture drama they did a while ago

Nice to see Gundam Wings is still relevant on the series' 30th Anniversary. I'm glad to see the visual is still kept intact, and not changed to conform to Sunrise/Bandai-Namco's modern way of character design animation today.

Indeed, though looking at it reminds me how far away in the past that was....

Yes, I missed that old 90's Sunrise character design where they looked human and realistic. I mean Sunrise still do from time to time, but the art of designing a borderline realistic human face is not as common as it was back then. I know Production IG still does that from time to time (ie: Terminator Zero), but I would like Sunrise/Bandai-Namco Filmworks could bring this back for future aesthetic purpose and for retro/nostalgia purpose. I mean you have Little Goody Two-Shoes, and Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog both video game using 90's anime aesthetic for retro/nostalgia effect, why can't anime bring this back like the way indie video game are doing it?

Rather than Frozen Teardrop, the best choice would be to animate Episode Zero (with a little supplemental, non-Frozen Teardrop material from Glory of the Losers). Do it like Gundam The Origin. Just cover the pilots' pasts. There are good stories in there. It would also address one of the primary complaints about the Wing series.

Heero and Relena always clean up nicely.

But why? Episode Zero's material (from the EW novelization, which is far superior) was changed come Frozen Teardrop anyway, so it would sort of be moot to readapt that. If they went ahead with animating something for Gundam Wing, that would be a giant middle finger to G Gundam, which kicked off the whole AU anyway. If anything we'll probably get another picture drama/audio drama or something instead.
