[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing] It felt cool from the first time I saw it, but I wonder what the feeling was like at the time of the broadcast.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx33

It’s cool and the animation is incredibly good.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx22

I think I’ve gotten hooked to an extent that I can’t really recover from it.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

It seems like there are quite a few people who are somewhat brain-fried.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

I was a child at the time, but I thought it was really cool, and it’s still my favorite now.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

If you look at it calmly, it’s just a quirky group.

But it’s cool, right…? That’s how the EW group mostly keeps others silent.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I was surprised when I first saw the OVA and wondered why they had wings like angels.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

First of all, the white reflection is just too cool…

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Personally, I was impressed by the Tallgeese III.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I laughed a lot at “once is once.”

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I think about it, the wings weren’t a lame element at all.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Many people have probably been taken down by Deathscythe, right?

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

There should have been some rejection at the time, but I think people like that probably haven’t watched the main W series either.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

After this, all Gundams started to have wings.

You’re too influenced.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

At first glance, I disliked shoulders.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of settings, I don’t understand why the appearance hasn’t changed, but I guess it’s fine!

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really liked it, but the people around me had a really bad impression, asking if I was still watching Gundam.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like that it looks majestic, but the cockpit has a rugged feel.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s unfair that both White Reflection and Last Impression are so cool.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

The design of the five EW units has a sense of liberation, unlike the TV version, which retained a sense of reason.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s an angel…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Of course, I love Wing Zero!

That aside, I absolutely love Nataku and Hell Custom, and I’ve been specially using them in G Generation.

I love Gundam with cool fighting.

…My love for Gundam’s melee combat performance is due to Crossbone.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it looked so cool that I might switch from the Deathscythe faction to the Wing faction.

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s a mystery why feathers scatter, but it’s cool, isn’t it…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was quite a rough topic for a while.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

Plastic models have been selling really well since then.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

How many Wing Zero units are there?

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

At that time, I thought it was cool, but I feel like the design of the robot part and the wings doesn’t blend well together.

Some people might think that’s a good idea, but…

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought the wings were part of the visual effects.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Back then, as an elementary school kid, I was so blown away by the box art of X’s Gundam model that I went to find it and ended up buying it.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The main characters have such flashy designs, while the enemy Serpent is so rugged.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was quite a bold move, but this is fine in its own way.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

EW is from 1997…

At this time of year, it’s quite impressive to see such dedicated otaku online.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I think the boldest one is Dragon Hang.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was watching the TV version in early elementary school and didn’t know about the concept of OVA, so I was shocked in various ways when I saw it broadcast on WOWOW, which my parents subscribed to.

Is there a sequel to W!? The battle scenes are incredibly beautiful!

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s cool, so I want to use it in G Generation, but Sandrock and Deathscythe are hard to use because of their armaments!

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Thank you to the person who said that the Wing Gundam doesn’t really look like a wing, even though I don’t know who you are.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original thread image is really good, but there was a period when the TV version suffered a bit, which was complicated.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

The model I’ve made the most of in Gunpla is the 1/100 Serpent.

I love shoulder gimmicks.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, I was a junior high school student, and I hated Duo because he betrayed us, got in the way of Heero, and beat up Zero who made a cool entrance.

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The impact of the video scene of a life-risking transfer in outer space and the synchronization of the sound was captivating.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The cloth cape on Sandrock’s robot is also quite mind-blowing.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

With the Deathscythe and wings, it makes me go “Ahh~!”

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

It will likely become a gacha UR when the EW scenario is implemented in Eternal, but I think I’ll keep rolling until I fully strengthen it.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t quite remember what otaku were like 30 years ago…

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I mean, I love everything.

I love all six of them, including the Tallgeese III.

The serpent too

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The serpent was incredibly cool.

The performance was not great.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how that person is able to hold their own against Toras…

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It turned out to just be Altron, huh.

Other models also have reduced armaments from the TV version, but there are no wings, tails, or flamethrowers…

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Since only mass-produced Serpents appear, there are a lot of cool scenes where the Serpent is firing weapons in any scene.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

My first Super Robot Wars was Second Alpha when I was in elementary school, and it burned my brain out.

The first manga volumes I bought at Book Off were volumes 1 to 3 of W’s manga, as well as Endless Waltz and something like Battle Field of Pacifists.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Go! Heero!

I’m sorry, don’t die.

You too!

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought the character was cool, but since I didn’t care about the story, I felt like they had very little screen time.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

Not much has happened except for the appearance scene and the ending, right?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

My first bought MG.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a topic that comes up often, but I really love the arrangement of the high-resolution model in the thread image.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I had seen this during my childhood, my brain would have melted.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that Duo was popular among the pilots, but how were the other members?

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

The kits from that time had an incredibly good style, you know…

The PG that came out later had a rather bulky… build.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

I had been moving away from BB Senshi as well.

The Heavy Arms Custom that I happened to find in the model shop was shocking.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Dragon Hang of Plamonatak can be extended to the limit where additional joints can be added.

I stretched it to the limit I could balance it and posed.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

The era when Hiiro, or rather, Midorikawa, was incredibly strong.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was mind-blown by the reboot scene underwater.

I heard that it’s not in the OVA version, and I was like, seriously?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

The EW faction is mostly dead in terms of range in the game.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

There were quite a few mixed opinions about it.

A memory that was relatively quickly accepted because it was after G.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the official interview, it was specifically mentioned that Quatre was not popular.

There must have been a certain level of popularity among women, but…

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think people who only know Trois by appearance might think he looks strange at first glance.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems the twin buster rifle isn’t attached.

101: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If it’s a Gundam with wings, the V2 has been around for a long time.

It’s strange that I’m not treated like that.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I look at the scenario again, this work really is a mess.

The production circumstances are too harsh.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel that Catoru is popular since his voice actor is the same as the protagonist from Romeo’s Blue Sky.

Gohi is well.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

That Quatre’s Sandrock has the most gritty and desperate fighting style in EW, which burned into my brain and made me love Sandrock so much.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you don’t know the backbone, it might just look like you’re someone who makes crazy statements.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

I didn’t really care about the story that much, but…

Gouki is a really important character in terms of worldview…

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

I still haven’t been able to buy the MGka zero…

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, aside from the Musha, are there only Zero and Hell in BB Senshi or SD form?

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s no way to understand that Gohi is an intellectual and is emulating his wife…

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

Which is better, the OVA version or the movie version of EW?

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if there’s also the possibility that there’s no room for dream girls to fit in anywhere.

I am preoccupied with the deceased wife and Treize.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is only Gohou who can align with Treize as a Gundam pilot…

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hurry up and show me the full-body illustration of Snow White.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was in middle school at the time, and it completely blew my mind, seriously.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

If we conducted a survey asking those born in the late ’80s what their first Gundam model was, I think around 20% would answer that it was the Gundam from Endless Waltz.

The Seven Super Generals.

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

That’s cool! It’s the Wing Zero Custom, right!

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s about EW, I was first surprised by how beautiful the visuals were.

It would be good for Zero to completely use up everything and be worn out in the end.

I also really like the title name “Endless Waltz.”

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

V2 also had a huge impact and was very heroic, which I liked.

It’s just that over here, it’s not mechanical wings but rather a design that looks exactly like wings, and I can use it for robots… it became like that.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

In my childhood, I always had a faint admiration for this guy’s PG.

I wonder if it will be remade someday.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was a long time when trying to strike that pose with toys usually meant I couldn’t properly hold a rifle…

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only dislike the accordion-like shoulders and the red protrusions on the arms.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

The duo also had solo performances before the main show, and there were also brotherly connections.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

The abundant setting materials in the manual for PG were extremely satisfying…

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first place, there are times when a rifle is attached when shooting in the video and times when it is not attached…

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a set with Heero and Duo, and Quatre and Trowa, which often left Wufei alone, but a bond formed with Treize, making it fit well.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are people who say various things about the shoulder design.

At the point of the TV version, this glimpse of the three-layer structure and the position of the beam saber are quite unchanged.

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Rather than making it look like feathers as a direction, actually turning it into real feathers is quite a bold move.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s characteristic of Katoki to design Banpreios.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t the TV Zero’s saber at the shoulder while the EW Zero’s is at the base of the wing?

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, I was a child, so I thought it evolved from Wing Gundam → Wing Gundam Zero → Wing Gundam Zero Custom.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before I knew it, the color of the camera on my forehead changed.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

Will there be a 3D model that recreates the thruster between the wings in the future…?

149: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

What kind of situation causes metal to flutter and feathers to fly! It’s overpowered by the coolness, beauty, and quality of the animation.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was some kind of side story novel about the duo, right?

I feel like there weren’t many spin-off novels from the main story during that time, not just added later.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

In reality, seeing it makes me realize that the duo has quite a plain role…

He’s a good guy, but…

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you look closely at the thread image, the connection of the wings on the back is rather careless…

156: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s called Wing Gundam Zero Custom, so it’s a custom of Wing Gundam Zero! That’s what you would think, right?

What is the serpent before the serpent custom!?

157: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I like that feathers look organic at first glance, but when you look closely, they are definitely mechanical.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

The depiction of the Death Scythe being really stealthy occurs about three times in the beginning and once when it becomes Hell.

The main camera is at a level where it could die, so I understand it’s not great to use it too much…

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

Has the sickle been a popular weapon since ancient times?

Besides the Deathscythe, I only know of the Zakurello.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

I realized while making the plastic model that the wings at the back are quite bulky.

I don’t know how to say it, but it’s really chicken wings, you know?

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

I got to know EW from GBA’s Super Robot Wars A, and I was blown away by the battle animations and intense BGM, just a nameless person.

164: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t there one machine among Deathscythe, Heavyarms, and Sandrock that’s significantly more difficult to handle during atmospheric entry?

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s important that the Grim Reaper holds a scythe, rather than just a machine that merely weaponizes a scythe, because that would be ambiguous.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

I didn’t think they would turn the protagonist into an angel just because there’s a grim reaper on their side…

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels rare for a fist to be white.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if the doctors were quietly using stealth functions when they crossed the battlefield while clinging to Deathscythe Hell?

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there were quite a few kits that had gray fists.

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the custom was about trademark issues, but I’ve forgotten.

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

The reason they are using weapons similar to Heavy Arms is that Decim from the Burton Foundation is leading it, and they are holding the same type of Gatling gun.

If it were White Fang, it would probably have a PD mounted on its shoulder.

If it were the Earth Forces… I wonder what they had, maybe rifles, sabers, and optional Dober guns…

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

The 1/100 kit at that time was significantly well-made for its era.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even now, I can’t help but think that the animation of such a high-cost mech is insane.
