Description:
The space colonies have grown tired of the oppressive rule by the Earth government, a corrupt organization ruled by people who have no real interest in the colonists or their well-being. Their rule is unjust and unfair, but not unopposed... Resistance forces in the colonies have created five special Mobile Suits (robot-like vehicles) called Gundams. Five young pilots have been selected to sneak these Gundams down to Earth and begin a guerilla campaign that will end the Earth government's rule forever. These pilots appear little more than children, but they carry the hopes and dreams of thousands of people with them as they descend to Earth to fight for their freedom.
Amazon.com essential video:
Gundam premiered on Japanese television in 1979 and redefined the "giant robot" genre. It's become one of the longest-running franchises in anime history, with more than a dozen broadcast, original animation video (OAV), and feature versions. The four episodes on Shooting Stars (the DVD contains a fifth episode) opened a 49-part broadcast series that aired in Japan in 1995 and 1996.
After a war devastated the surface of the earth, many people left for the Space Colonies. The remaining inhabitants are governed by the United Earth Sphere Alliance, which has oppressed the Colonies. A group of rebels hope to win their freedom by attacking Earth with five teenage pilots in Gundam mobile suits (robotic rocket ships made from Gundanium alloy). Heero Yuy, the brash hero, immediately comes into conflict with the sinister Lieutenant Zechs and Colonel Treize, who are important officers in OZ, an elite mobile-suit unit trained and staffed by the powerful Romefeller Foundation. Heero also inadvertently wins the heart of Relena, the wealthy daughter of a cabinet minister. While Heero insults Relena and fights the forces of OZ, the other four Gundam pilots, Duo, Trowa, Quatra, and Chang (who, oddly, don't know each other) wreak havoc on Alliance factories and military bases. It's a classic confrontation between indestructible good guys with invincible weapons and bad guys who can't hit the broad side of a robot. The DVD contains the "unedited version" of the show that plays on the Cartoon Network. It contains no nudity or sex; the violence is largely restricted to machines attacking each other and is recommended for ages 7 and older. The VHS version has some language changes ("I will kill you" becomes "I will destroy you") and the blood has been removed when characters are injured. There is no difference in running time. --Charles Solomon

I love Gundam Wing and I won't lie that I think this is the best Gundam Wing anime out there because of the fact that the characters are just so human that it's hillarious. I love Duo Maxwell because he lightens the mood and has so many funny antics that you can't even believe would be possible. Dorothy Catalonia is just plain scary with her forked eyebrows but my friend and I had a wonderful time with comments thrown at Dorothy.
Over all, I think that Gundam Wing would be an awesome ... Read More

Ah, Gundam Wing. Like many other Americans, this was the series that got me "into" anime (unless you count the time I spent watching DBZ, but I'm trying to forget that particular bit of fandom). One of the spinoffs from the original UC (Universal Century) Gundam storyline, Gundam Wing takes place in the AC (After Colony) timeline, giving it no connection to its predecessors... or so Bandai would have you think. Although GW was my first anime series and will always hold a certain place in my heart (somewhere ... Read More

For all you GW haters out there, you need to cool off! I've seen the original series, 008, 0083, 8th MS team, and Seed. I enjoy Gundam Seed the most. GW is a close second. You can complain that the story was too complicated, or too unrealistic, but look...Gundam design has changed since 0083. Gundams are more bad ass than ever. You want to bitch about the past, fine, you do that. Your kinda like someone that thinks DOS is great, and won't switch to Windows cause you say "look at all the cool thing I can ... Read More

I am aghast at all of the good reviews this series has received, therefore I felt the need to post my own opinion. And worry not, Wingers, it shall be short.
Basically all that I am going to say is that I ordered volume 8 of Mobile Suit Gundam from Amazon.com for $12 and they sent me the entire Gundam Wing DVD boxset instead. And you know what I did? I sent the boxset back because I wanted that darn MSG tape.
Don't think for a second that this is what Gundam is all about. Gundam is not ... Read More
