Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The Space Colonies, the United Earth Sphere Alliance, and the OZ Special Forces (an arm of the sinister Romefeller Foundation) remain locked in a three-way struggle in this 49-part series that aired in Japan from 1995 to 1996. The outcome hinges on the actions of the five young pilots and their indestructible Gundam mobile suits.

Duo and Quatre, who is the heir to an enormous fortune, hide out in the desert with sympathetic rebels while their three counterparts undergo various personal crises. Having lost a sword duel to Treize, Chang broods and announces, "I have no right to fight." Heero seeks forgiveness for having inadvertently caused the death of pacifist leader Marshal Noventa--and offers to let each of the Marshal's relatives shoot him. Trowa is overcome with admiration for Heero's nobility, and almost kills himself in an attempt to follow his example. Dissuaded by circus performer Catherine, Trowa helps Heero prepare for a mobile suit duel with Treize. Meanwhile, Relena tries to assassinate the icy Lady Une and forges an alliance with Lieutenant Noin.

The plots and character motivations may sound improbable, but the episodes deliver plenty of robot vs. robot battles--which is what Gundam fans want.

Rated 13 and older for occasional profanity and violence, largely restricted to machines attacking each other. --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Video, October 6, 2000

By	Beaven (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - Operation 3 (DVD)

I think that this DVD is very good, and a whole lot better than the videos. It is also un-cut, and that makes it better. This DVD contains 5 episodes. 11:The Whereabouts of Happiness

12:Bewildered Soldiers 13:Catherine's Tears 14:The Order to Destroy 1 15:To the Battleground-Antartica

The First one concerns Quatre and Duo. They get there gundams repaired with all of Quatre's Friends. Also, Relena goes to Moscow to kill Lady Une for killing her father.

The Second Episode is mostly about Wufei. He meets Sally Po and helps her fight off the Alliance and Oz. He informs her that the weak shouldn't be fighting.

The Third Episode is about Trowa and Heero. Trowa decides he wants to put on a show in his circus with his gundam and attacks an Oz facility. He almost kills himself but Catherine's Tears stop him.

The Fourth Episode revolves around Heero. He decides to visit Marshal Noventa's Granddaughter, and he hands her a gun to shoot him. He apoligizes to her. Trowa also holds off Alliance Troops.

The Fifth and final episode has Lietendent Noin visit Trowa and Heero and ask them to go to Antarctica to fight Zechs. They go but are followed by suspicious Oz Carriers... This is a very good DVD, and the sound quality is great. I highly suggest it, especially if you like Gundam Wing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Twist in the Gundam Universe, June 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - Cold Battlefield (Vol. 3) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

These are four exciting episodes in the Gundam universe. With the bloodshed at the New Edwards base, the United Earth Sphere Alliance collapses and everything falls into chaos. The Gundams continue to fight, however. Lady Un lays a trap by announcing that the Taurus mobile suits are to be transported to the Siberian base. The Gundams follow and attempt to destroy the Taurus'. Heero battles Zechs in the Tallgeese. However, Lady Un threatens to destroy the colonies and the Gundams stop their battle. The colonies announce that they surrender, but refuse to hand over the Gundams. At that moment, Heero self-detonates his Gundam. The Gundams are now forced to hide for fear that Oz will carry out the threat to destroy the colonies. Also, no one knows whether Heero survived the self-detonation. Releena travels to Moscow to confront Lady Un, who assassinated her adopted father. Wufei meets Sally Po, who is also fighting for peace. Much to his dismay, he finds himself once again boarding his Gundam in order to save her. While these episodes are not as exciting as the later episodes, they are still important and interesting episodes that all Gundam Wing fans should see.
