REVIEW: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Collector's Ultra Edition Blu-Ray

I think the artwork is better than a C. The designs are a nice throw back to the older shows, and environments were looked nice. I agree on the animation, it definitely is a lot worse than other mocha shows of the time.

well it showed in the 90's. what did anyone expected? the blue ray version wasn't going to improve the artwork by a longshot!

I don't understand the love people have for Endless Waltz, which is just a poorly plotted fanfic with excellent production values.

Funnily enough from what I heard the screenwriter of Wing actually hated Endless Waltz and said something like "Not in my series" when he saw it.

I loved it because it was simple and didn't glorify how awesome the pilots were, unlike the series. Plus seeing the Gundams bring down mobile units without killing the pilots is kind of how I felt they should have been doing things this entire time.

And despite how anti-climactic it may have been, I LOVED how they treated Wing Zero Custom. Going from slick and clean the moment it starts up to charred and torn apart at the end was very refreshing. I especially liked how it was damaged to the point that using the twin buster rifle actually caused even more damage to it.

And Noin is always fun to watch.

I like it for at least giving a Char Clone a positive ending.

I don't remember much, but I do remember watching Gundam Wing as a kid & thinking "why do they let these whiny kids pilot the cool robots?"

I'm well aware of the criticisms toward IBO's second season, as I have watched all of it subbed previously (and watching the dub on Toonami currently). However, I don't completely share all of those criticisms as everyone sees the second season quite differently. It's not Kudelia's fault that spoiler[she got sidelined as a baby-maker for Mikazuki]

Only people with nostalgia filled glasses say this is one of the better Gundam series when it's plainly just average.

That's because Zechs isn't a selfish sociopath like Char was but a pretty noble guy and thus deserved a happy ending as much as the Gundam pilots.

Speaking of Kira Yamato, his Canadian VA (Matt Hill) turned the big 5-0 on 1/19. Happy related b-day!

char was anything but a sociopath. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!

sure he went off the deep end due to the events of the first neo zeon war, but a sociopath?! hardly! the only char clone that fits that category is Gundam SEED's Raul La Crusade HANDS DOWN!!!

though at least zech's ending was more suitable for the character,though he got that ending via the endless waltz movie and didn't get the short end of a stick (looking at you 00 movie) or didn't had a very anticlimactic reverse char like ending (looking at you IBO S2)

I think they base all that off of Char's various backstabbings and dirty dealings he does in Origin and the original show. Though Origin plays his ruthless side up pretty much through the roof. Rau on the other hand is a psycho nuts nihilist. And I still can't get over IBO S2's treatment of McGillis, he could of been brilliant and then that show had to ruin him by making him a superstitious man child who needs only MUH BAEL!
