The year is After Colony
(AC) 195, and after long years of war over rights to indepedence, the Earth
has seized full hold of the colonies. In an effort to free themselves, rebel
forces from five of the colonies send five young men in mobile suits known
as Gundams to Earth in order to combat the Earth Sphere Alliance and OZ.
The 5
boys are named Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei and their only 15 years
old! They begin a desperate battle to uncover and destroy OZ, only to find
that the situation was not like it was supposed to be. One of OZ's pilots,
Zechs Merquise, is fighting a private war of his own to right the wrongs in
his own past. And in and out of the center of conflict, one young girl named
Relena Darlian(ALSO Known as Relena Peacecraft) believes that war and death
is completely un-necessary and that everything can be Resolved by talking it
out. Kind of like a school teacher or parent…
GW has a lot in common with G Gundum. But
unlike G Gundam, Gundam
Wing is a story heavily dependent on the philosophy of war as opposed to a
true love story. The relationships between characters are sometimes sketchy
, and their interactions are often best shown in a conflict; whether it’s
against each other or helping out in battle situations. In addition, it is
believed by many that GW was shaped as it was to attract a larger audience
to gundam, extending it to females, whereas G reached out to the Super Robot
genre. The series was later followed up with an OAV(Original Animated Video,
also can be known as an OVA or just a damn Movie) entitled Endless Waltz,
which brought the AC story to a close and dealt with the original
organization that ordered the Gundams sent to Earth. It was later released
as a movie version with additional footage.
