Gundam Wing - Endless Waltz

~The Anima-Ture~

 
We see a big battle in space as a prologue with the gundams but the sound is in the background so that we know it is just a review from the past or previous story.

One thing i already hated was that the prologue speaker was emotionless which ruins the intro already.

I've always known Gundam wing with English dubs as a child and i have to say that this is one of the few where English dubs are decent.
We get to see two gundams being send of in a huge meteor towards the sun for their destruction.

An army of pink, white and blue, following the orders of a little girl while one could kill her and take over command.
What does bug me is that all the gundam pilots are around 16 years old but have a grown-up voice that is deep which annoys me.

We get so to see Duo, Heero and Quatre working as a team again to stop the current state of war again.

As a major mistake made by Heero when he was young we get to see the mistakes of the Mangaka and animators.
The whole city gets blown up, even skyscrapers are destroyed but just one single body remains intact yet dead.
The dog that was accompanying a young girl that gave Heero a flower.

 The whole city blown up to pieces and yet the dog is a body while all the rest is dust.

We see Zechs returning in just a slight moment but quickly it goes back to Duo and Heero on their way towards the battle zone.

There are actually many things i noticed when rewatching everything now.

The sounds used for machinery, slicing, exploding, hitting, deflecting and so on are all the same in almost every Gundam series.

Battles are all the same way. As an example; When there are transport ships getting attacked, the piloted machines always pop-up in front of it and then destroys it, flies away and then the ship explodes.

Then a huge battle starts with mobile suits flying out of the mothership and little transports.

We see Wufei and Trowa fighting at the side of the revolution against Heero and Duo.

Heero and Duo lose the battle because they have underdeveloped pilot suits and both escape from battle.


Quatre's plan to get the Gundams back is a deadly plan but once he gets them, they are going to open up a can o' whoopass.

We get to see all 5 doctors in turn with each person they give their Gundam too.

The gundams are the strongest of all mechanical machines and can't be destroyed that easily.

It would take a few nukes to destroy just one gundam but the gundam that Heero pilots is the strongest one so it would take a dozen of nukes and then it might be destroyed.

I have to say that soldiers are dumb people as the Revolution soldiers were cornering Heero, Duo and Trowa in the control room but they didn't knew that Trowa was working on their side so they didn't think twice about him being a traitor.

The soldiers entered the room after Heero punched Duo unconscious and escaped the room.

The way they let the narrator speak and the combination with the scenes we see and the song makes us feel sad about what is about to happen.

What we do know is that this is just a 2 days and 1 night war as they let out the logic of time.

Just take the example as 50 days to get to the meteor that got reduced by 280 hours is just a one-way trip towards the meteor.

Getting back seems to be no problem at all as they just got back in a few hours.

We get to see the battle end very quickly as the main headquarters is destroyed which eventually stops all revolting soldiers from defending and attacking.

The dramatical scenes are so staged and fake that we all should share the same thought 'ooookaaaaay....LAME!'.

All weapons get burned as the second age of peace will be confirmed with this.

Once there is a colony making weapons in secret they are screwed as the gundams get destroyed too.

What troubles me is that they now self-destruct their gundams for the second age of peace when they could've done so the first time that the age of peace started so logical sense is ruined here.

Marimaia is now being taken care of and she is not in prison but outside in front of the grave of her father.

I want to destroy a couple cities too with an army and get shot if i just get away with it like that.

I gave Gundam wing - Endless Waltz a 3.5 out of 5 on Anime-Planet.

*additional information*

The voice acting is emotionless on many moments where it needed drama as yelling was like whispering to each other.

Gundam Wing and Gundam Wing OVA and the movie all have a strong nostalgic feeling for those who watched this when they were young.

No doubt how bad it is or could be, you'd still watch it and like it because you grew up with it.
