action-wise, yeah. Anything making sense for you to care? No. You should be watching G Gundam again instead.
>>
>>23717187
It gets more interesting when they get to the point where the mobile dolls are introduced and the Endless Waltz OVA, but until then you're in for a slog.
>>
>>23717187
real mecha fans never grow tired of the 49 episode format
>>
>>23717187
It's a fucking slog, the only good part is when Zecks tests the Tallgeese but it's not a fun watch.
>>
>>23717187
how? the first like 14 episodes are constant chaos
>>
>>23717187
It doesn't, the beginning and the endgame are the best parts.
>>
>>23717187
It's the only Gundam where I've been stuck for several years around episode 20ish. Sometimes I pick up an episode and go on, but I cannot care for the plot at all. Too bad because the premise (Gundam terrorists) was great, and the character designs (Relena, Zechs) are also very beautiful. The writing is so bad it makes Tomino looks like a genius.

It only gets worse after the first dozen episodes.
>>
>>23717187
It gets much worse.
>>
>>23717187
the first 10 episodes are peak Wing
everything after ep 10 is a slogfest

i honestly can't believe Wing got popular. it was really mediocre show.
>>
That's actually when it's still decent. In a few episodes the boys all get sent back to the starting line and they have to get over their personal problems before the show gains any momentum again.
>>
>>23722749
It was 100% the mech design.
>>
>>23717187
if you're bouncing off it, try Gundam 00. it's pretty much more of the same but more tightly written
>>
>>23717187
No. Wing takes itself very seriously while lacking the writing chops to really make its ideas meaningful, much less entertaining. Watching the whole thing was torture to me and a personal lesson for me to never force myself to finish something I genuinely disliked. If you're not liking it at this point it's quite safe to drop it.

OP is watching with his eyes but also with his mind. I was initially entertained when I started watching Wing only because of that chaos, it was nonsensical and silly. Then it just kept going on and on and I started to realize that this nonsensical silliness was the actual show and things were not going to get better. The cheap CCA ripoff ending was just a nugget of corn on the turd.
>>
>>23717187
No. I've never understood how such a boring nonsense show got as popular as it did in the west.

I dont know about other countries, but in the US it was the first serious mecha show since Robotech in 1985, and I guess Beast Wars in 96 if you're willing to accept nonhuman toy characters.

I remember reading on old forums that people were initially predicting that the deaths were all going to be edited as being 'sent to the next dimension' or something. Actually showing characters, redshirts or otherwise, being killed was notable.

Also, the philosophizing also made the show seem cultured to the middle schoolers watching Toonami.

>Robotech
Not even an actual show

Bro, it's an anime. What do you think that phrase means?
>>
>>23723896
Toonami
>>
>>23723978
I just watched the whole show and thought it was lame. I'm sorry if trying to articulate why I thought it was bad and lame comes off as psuedointellectual or something but I genuinely thought it was terrible.
>>
>>23717187
Gets far better.
>>
>>23717196
Its cool when he and heero fight in Antarctica or wherever
>>
>>23717187
It gets better once Oz takes over, turns into a slog once the Mobile Doll plot starts, picks back up again once Heero and Quatre go back to Earth and really hits its stride after the fight goes back into space against White Fang.

What a waste of a post
>>
>>23717187
Yeah the ~10 episodes in the colonies with no Relena later are pretty good but then the last arc is retarded
>>
Wing is pure kino.

Cute feet!

It slogs a little bit in the middle when nobody is doing much as some stuff develops in the background, but if you don't enjoy it now then revisit it in a couple years when you have recovered your attention span. The point of Wing is that factions change sides every couple episodes even if it makes no sense(but it does) which keeps things entertaining and chaotic. The first like 8 or 10 episodes is just the prelude to this
>>
>>23723446
00 is just the first few episodes of Wing made into an entire show. It's also so self righteous and up its own ass that I can no longer enjoy it. Wing did it better
>>
>>23723896
Because it was the only Gundam they had. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
