I'm a rabid fan of anime and Gundam Wing is a fantastic series. For those of you who are only familiar w/ the series via Cartoon Network, the DVD series is well worth the money. Most anime is edited for the US market, so you definatly get more character development on the DVD. If you like GW but were dissapointed that the series wasn't longer (as I was), there are many other Gundam series and movies. Not w/ the same characters, but in the same general universe.

The only problem that I have w/ GW is the lack of serious character development, the pilots and the others are brought only so far. This leaves the viewer having to come up w/ their own conclusions for one too many a thing. If it weren't for that one thing I'd give GW 5 instead of 4 stars.

As for Operation 4, this is pretty crucial to understanding the series, a lot of questions are ansewerd in this volume, and it sets the stage for the next leg of the series. If you don't watch this volume you're going to be lost for a while in the next leg of GW, plus you'll have some unansewred questions.

This dvd comes with 5 key episodes of Gundam Wing Series, episodes 16 through 20. Here, you see the Gundam pilots go into space, and you see first hand the new Doll Mobile Suits the Oz organization made. To top it all off, at the end of episode 20... we'll I really can't tell you that, can I. Even if you watch the episodes on Cartoon Network already, it's still great to watch in full length DVD, entire episodes, either in English or Japanish, uncut. This is a must have, for any Gundam fans...

This is a great series, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys anime....or giant fighting robots.

In the wastes of Antarctica, Heero and Zechs fight in a "meaningless" battle. Heero refuses to battle with his own gundam, and fights in Trowa's gundam. Relena finds out that Zechs is her long-lost brother. The battle stops shortly after that discovery.
The next stop is space. However, there is no glory or praise to the five gundam pilots returning to space. Instead, they are hated and feared by the colonies. Duo gets captured and his gundam is destoryed by Trowa, who is now an OZ solider it seems.
One of my favorite speeches is on this DVD, and is told by Heero.

This DVD is a must have for any Gundam fan. Lady Une begins her travels throughout the space colonies to gain their support towards Oz and Romefeller. Meanwhile Oz kidnaps the Gundam Scientists and forces them to create new mobile suits. The Gundam pilots begin leaving for space and run into some trouble. Also Zechs and Heero have that battle that they have been promising each other. And if you hate Relena like I do, you will be happy to know that this DVD is almost Relena free!

This is a must have if your a Gundam Fan especially if your a Gundam Wing Series fan these Episodes are a Key stone to understanding the entire series. And as for violence...giant robotic suites clashing at each other at break neck speeds...what more could you want.
