Wing isn't my thing, but I wouldn't go calling it garbage.

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

So true, I never seen any of their box sets being sold out.

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

Do you not like taking pictures with people? because if I were at a con that you were at, I'd LOVE to get a picture, because your Gurren Lagann costume kicks serious butt!

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 have to agree.

hate that show

I'm honestly curious as to why...I never see anything but love for that show.

^it is pretty much everything wrong with modern gainax "what is now trigger"

when there is no action the show is okay, but the fights are so over the top there is no buildup for it to be over the top, thus the fights are boring. and overall the entire just complete obsession with the fanservice ruins it. it is a mecha series without mecha and it suffers for it. if it had a mecha, you could build up more over the top fights and the pacing would go smoother

and i love taking photos with people at cons, its just the fans can get insane

Ok, so it's basically my reasons for not liking it.

Ah, I can see that being annoying. :/

I watched .hack with out playing games and I understood what wS going on just fine. Defently twilight bracelet that had a manga before it

I'm sorry, but what? Wing is the best Gundam series out there. The Gundams are actually used as weapons of mass destruction like they should be. None of this military "You use it when I tell you to use it" bs. Not to mention it has some of the best Gundam designs since Zeta and the best characters since ZZ. Not to mention it takes concepts from past Gundam shows and puts a new spin on them while doing something better with them. The only downside to Wing was Relena as Heero should have killed her. Other than that though, there is nothing wrong with the show. There is a reason it was the first one to air on TV as it is the best. Treize is awesome. Zechs is awesome. Duo is awesome. Wufei is awesome. Lady Une is psychotically awesome.

Wing is mostly 50 episodes of people standing around saying their going to do something and then taking forever to actually do it (or not at all). Its an okayish series but hella overrated.

What show were you watching? I watched a show where nobody knew where half of the Gundams were, a shitty main character, a plot that moved at a snail's pace, lack of good female characters for a Gundam show, and a cool concept (the mobile dolls) with interesting implications getting pushed to the side due to the Gundams getting upgraded so much.

That's like every Gundam series, even the OVAs that are like 6-13 episodes.

Because the series has such strong female characters to begin with? Sorry, but outside of Haman Karn, there has not been a single Gundam female character that is memorable for good reasons. Frau was a moron and should have been killed. Salah became annoying as the series went on. Kamille's girlfriend was a moron. The girls in ZZ are useless. The woman in 0083 was a whiny moron. None of the girls in SEED and Destiny served any purpose beyond fan service. I don't even remember a female character in the few episodes of Victory I was able to sit through. And I'm not even going to get into the dumbass from CCA because that movie is just subpar as a whole.

The show is called Gundam, NOT Mobile Dolls. When they have a show named Mobile Dolls, I will care about seeing the Mobile Dolls on screen more than Gundams. This show featured Gundams, which is what the show is called, and why it is my favorite Gundam series.
