Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz

I had heard good and bad things about Gundam Wing before I watched all 49 episodes. I loved it. Sure, it had its flaws, but it was an enjoyable series with an awesome plot and excellent character sub-plots. When I heard about there being a follow-up movie I was excited, but slightly apprehensive considering many series follow-ups have been sub-par. I was going to watch it regardless...

So, what did I think of this movie? To put it simply, I think that this movie did the series justice. We were thrown back into the Gundam world with some familiar faces. The story was great, with the daughter of Treize trying to pick up where her father left off. She was slightly annoying at times, but she didn't get that much face time! There were some other interesting turns in the plot that I will not spoil. Needless to say, it made the movie great to watch and was certainly better than some of the other Gundam movies.

The Gundams themselves look like they got serious upgrades since we last saw them. They looked awesome! DeathScythe looked more....deadly. Gundam Zero looked truly majestic. I could go on, but you really have to see it to understand what I mean. The battle scenes were as I had expected - crazy and full of explosions. The only thing that annoys me is that the Gundams are just so powerful that they make the mobile suits they face look like storm troopers from Star Wars.

So, do I think you should watch this movie? Yes. However, in order to understand the movie I also recommend you watch the series beforehand. It makes you understand more about the characters and why they act in certain ways. Taken together, this was a movie that was a worth follow-up to the series.

I just love this movie because of one character : Lady Une, former OZ soldier and now the leader of The Preventers. She is the only reason I like the gundam series and all thank to the voice of actress, Enuka Okuma. But I just hope lady une some would remember this character in the future ,so heres to Lady Une:

We will never forget you!

all i can say about this movie is WOW. the animation had me frozen in awe for the whole movie. i mean, i've never seen such flow, such perfect motion and synchronization! this movie is damn well made. i mean, DAMN WELL. it's my absolute fave anime movie. in fact, it's my absolute fave anime anything. all i could ever wish for is more mecha space action, since it was a little bare in the middle. the characters perform just as they always do, except they get a couple memorable lines and a hell lot more awesome mecha performances. top notch, people, TOP NOTCH! i first saw this film downloaded, and the quality wasn't very good. if you're going to watch Endless Waltz, make sure you do it some honor and watch it on DVD or VHS. it's a lot sexier that way. overall rating, 9.5/10

This film is the epitome of good anime! It's even clean, so if you wanted to you could show it to your kids (of course they wouldn't get it, but if they like action animation, it's fine!) It carries on the quest for peace and the great battle scenes and even gives us a little of the characters' background! I may have gone a bit overboard, but I gave this film a ten!

This movie really does tie up whats left over from GW and it shows how most of the pilots ended up piloting the gundams. It focuses more on the main characters than the main movie, but that was alright with me. Relena acts less like a Peacecraft but that is because something else is needed at that time. The animation is superb for when it was made, and it should not let down true GW fans..
