Watch 00. Similar premise to Wing but a hell of a lot better.

Wing offers no value to me because its storylines have been done better in other Gundam shows before and after. The only original thing I can think of is the mobile dolls, and while they do impact the story, I find watching a show for one element to be a waste.

Plus, half of the fucking show nobody can keep track of thier Gundams. Most of the show, at least 2 pilots doesn't know where the fuck his Gundam is and that bugs the shit out of me.

Literally, the whole Zechs Marquise subplot is ripped from Char's legacy from the UC. Granted, its shorter but still.

Heero Yuy? Been done better by Setsuna F Seiiei because he has a reason for being an stick in the mud at first.

The action? Its okay. Its less consistently well animated then shows that precede it by 10 years but still.

I'll still probably just watch Wing. I loved the Super Famicom game so that with the other things I mentioned is enough to get me to watch it. I'll judge for myself how good it is. Though I'll keep 00 on note though.

Cool about the 00 thing.

A lot of people hate it but I love the entire show and the movie.

The thing about 00 is that its a story about humanity getting to space rather then the divides caused by of the wants and needs between the Earth and Space people. So every action is taken into much greater consideration in the grand scheme of things.

It also has great action while not being cheap and recycling fights.

The movie is also great to as it does the opposite and is about the much later events that could occur in Gundam and does something any Gundam series hasn't done before. I won't spoil it, but I am surprised the UC hasn't done this yet.

pretty much skip 00, seed, and wing, wing is boring and weak, but not terrible, the other two, are just atrocious in how bad they are

go watch UC, X, G or Turn A. that is where the good stuff is

I've seen pretty much everything gundam, and i am 20 episodes away from finishing Turn A, it is probably the best gundam series there is

^that news kind of upsets me, it was finally becoming enjoyable to be a gurren lagann fan again, now i'll just have to deal with more rabid fanboys who don't understand that show is a getter robo homage

it gets annoying when you cosplay the robot gurren lagann and you have to deal with the fanboys

What why? Gurren Lagann is great and all, but it wouldn't make more sense if Kill La Kill taken the slot instead since it's still freshly new on the dub side, and have more screening for the US audience. I mean they did it with SAO when only the first dub box set came out and they started airing the dub on toonami around the same time too.

i'd rather have gurren lagann than kill la kill

hate that show

It's understandable, but I just find it odd that Aniplex doesn't want to advertise/show off their recent anime dubbed with that being Kill La Kill.

oh it is odd, you would think they'd rather air kill la kill

i guess they have too many 500 dollar gurren lagann box sets still sitting around LOL
