[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing] I watched the first episode of Gundam Wing and it’s amazing.

Japan Otaku Reviews+

Is there any anime that can capture your heart like this in just one episode?

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx24

First, make sure to watch it to the end.

The incoherence of episode 1 continues for 49 episodes.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it okay if I only watch Endless Waltz?

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

EW is a work that has distilled and extracted the cool elements of W.

When viewed calmly, they’re doing something unreasonable on par with a TV series when jumping onto the shuttle…

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When I was watching it in real time, I was a kid, so maybe that’s why, but I really didn’t understand it at all…

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both the person behind Lilina and the person behind Treize were thinking, “What is my character saying?” so it’s correct that you don’t understand.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

Guririba loves Wing so much, but Hiiro doesn’t ride Wing that much…

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t these guys moving a bit too freely?

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If an episode like that were aired now, it would turn into a meme festival.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Anyway, I really like the momentum all the way to the end.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the reused Virgo bank has a strong sense of intimidation and fear.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

When will it become RHYTHM EMOTION?! (around episode 40)

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If I were to mention a memorable episode, it would be this one.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

→↖️

Heavy Arms shoots like this every time.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although it is the protagonist’s machine, various characters pilot the Wing Zero.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fact that you can see an incredibly famous scene in just a little over 20 minutes is definitely a strength.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Did it really have four seasons!?

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

Domon preaches great humanity, beautifully connecting the idea that his love with Rain will save the world, surpassing his master… Ishiba Raburabu Tenkyo Ken…

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s famous, the level of humor is high, and it’s a nice scene that properly connects at the end.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was quick to be surrounded by reinforcements while running wild as I pleased… my death… said Troa, who gives up easily.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

What is happening during the Mercurious Vait period?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are five people, but only three of them are attached to the aircraft…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember some iconic scenes here and there, but I don’t really remember the overall flow of the story.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Though often a target for jokes, Duo is the one who understands the situation best among the five.

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Creating such a confusing first episode and then having the director leave midway is hell, isn’t it?

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

The big turns in the story begin when the birth origins of Relena and Zechs are revealed and used.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

This is amazing how it was handed over and somehow wrapped up.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Thanks to the efforts of the supporting characters, the world regularly comes close to peace.

The main characters destroy things every time.

Damn you, Gundam team, Zechs, and Treize!

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the fact that Trowa has become stronger since he started using a Swiss Army knife.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Unfortunately, the completion of the later phase OP has been delayed significantly…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Earth Sphere United Federation “We will unify for peace.”

World Nation “United for Peace”

“Unified Earth Federation: ‘We will unify for peace.'”

Aren’t they all saying the same thing?

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Since the director disappeared, it’s fine to call in a pinch hitter.

Why is Director Takamatsu working on Goldran right now!

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

The rhythm emotion has started flowing… Is the opening change not coming yet!?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

Having all five Gundams from different factions doesn’t seem like a way to help children understand the story.

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The evaluation of Goh is mostly bad due to Super Robot Wars.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wondered why this story is so hard to understand, but in most cases, it’s just that Treize makes it complicated.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Zero looked best when Zex was riding it.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The world must be unified.

However, it’s a battle where I will be the one to do it!

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

A world view where a lowly guy, like a student of Noin, would instead stand out.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

Countries that want small-scale autonomy are being relentlessly bullied.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Heero is considered the most sane among the five.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The ending of episode 49, where Relena tears up the letter after continuing to wander aimlessly, is great.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m going to launch an assault on OZ for the colony! I’ve been trapped… I’m going to hide for a moment.

Before I knew it, I have become an enemy of the colony… I don’t even know what I’m fighting for anymore…

(During the wandering period, each infiltrates or rides Wing Zero)

Meanwhile, the faction supporting Lilina’s complete pacifism, though still naive, is increasing.

Zex is representing the colony! We can’t overlook Treize either; the Gundam team will unite to stop it! We stopped it!

Awareness of such a degree

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The level of civilization in that world is high enough for Lilina’s complete pacifism to be on the verge of being realized.

The upper part is bothering.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s the successor to the Tallgeese, after all, Zero.

The way Zex is used looks very natural.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I watched it as a child, I didn’t quite understand it along the way, but at the end when everyone says, “Let’s stop the Zex!” it suddenly became very clear!

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like they are exchanging Zero and Epion…

What are these people…?

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

An evil secret organization plotting world domination is a rare type in Gundam.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Virgo is strong, but the AI is trash.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

The flow leading up to that moment (deden!!) is packed with a beautifully structured four-panel gag, making it incredibly strong as an opening.

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It was so shocking that for a while, the topic of W dominated conversations at school.

“Also, ‘I will kill you’ has become a catchphrase.”

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t want a rough peace; I want a peace that is grasped with a positive mindset after all of us have gone through the pain of a horrific war and overcome our anti-war feelings!

It’s too much harassment.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

A world where even mob soldiers and citizens are overly noble and have convictions.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Deden

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really think it’s an incredible industry where directors go missing.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

The first episode has an impact, but when you think about it calmly, it’s an anime that you can watch while feeling like “uh… huh?” all the time.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Often said in creation

If the character stands out, the rest will work itself out!

A work that embodies it.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what the point is of not being able to have a pilot in a mobile suit like Virgo, which has clear tasks, when it’s inevitable for Taurus.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s running too much with a live feel.

At first, Lelina appeared briefly and then transferred schools, so she stopped appearing at all.

Isn’t it supposed to have a well-developed background and setting?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it actually quite amazing to find something interesting even though you don’t understand its meaning…?

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there were quite a few stories where no one rides their original Gundam.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that the production site was hell, but despite that, they are working hard.

There might be something to the fact that it was managed with a two-episode recap.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I guess the wing gets shot down in the opening.

In the first episode, I failed the mission by not taking down the Tallgeese, and then I self-destructed in the second episode.

I can understand why you might feel that way.

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s too interesting to watch when you consciously think about the endless growth of Morikawa and Fujiwara’s soldiers…

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

Otto is nice, isn’t he…?

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

Queen Lilina has ascended to the throne!

Duke Delmay has fallen from power!

The Duke of Delmayu has died!

Queen Lilina abdicates!

It’s not a story that can be wrapped up in 2 to 3 episodes.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

Despite G Gundam causing a ruckus the previous year, we decided to create a Gundam in a completely different direction that seemed unprecedented, and somehow, it turned out to be a success.

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Before the broadcast starts, I was shot down by the Devil Gundam…

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

Experiencing zero-g flight is something everyone should try at least once; it felt incredibly refreshing.

I think it really made a strong impression as the key machine of the work.

119: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s fun even if the story is not well understood, just watching a handsome guy rampage in a Gundam.

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I don’t think there will ever be another episode that is as shocking as the first episode of W, even if the series continues from here on.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

The protagonist’s machine self-destructs in the early stages!

Rival is fixing for a while!

Even if it’s fixed, the protagonist won’t ride and will duel with the rival!

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

To be continued.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

The early episodes spend 30 minutes just on the “ten” of the narrative structure.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even as an adult, the conversation is difficult and I can’t understand it…

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

After self-destructing, the momentum weakens, and it becomes quite sluggish around the point where it ascends into space.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s great that the Gundam has a self-destruct code in Zieg Axes… I thought.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

The story about the inside being all messed up makes sense when you hear it later.

That aside, even if we rush through with the live feeling, Zex is doing an individual space century RTA that rushes through to Char’s Counterattack in episode 49, so the story is also well organized around this axis.

It’s chaotic, but it’s still fun to watch.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not so much that the story is difficult, but I just don’t know who I should focus on.

Everyone is unstable…

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve watched up to episode 29, but the one I think, “What the hell are you saying?” the most is Treize.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though Zex was vomiting blood when he first rode the Tallgeese, he later became completely fine. What kind of body structure does he have?

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

Relena and Treize have a power that is almost akin to brainwashing, beyond charisma.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you look at it from the enemy’s perspective, you can follow the story.

From the protagonist’s perspective, it becomes ambiguous halfway through, making the story confusing.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

Despite having a pretty terrible background, Trowa is too good of a guy.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because of the aesthetic atmosphere of the ’90s, Zex and Treize are halfway into elegant gags, and it’s quite entertaining to watch…

The sound of “parin” (the sound of something breaking) is laughingly coming from the mask that shatters into pieces in an unnecessarily aesthetic way…
