Gundam Wing help.

So this topic is to all those Gundam Wing fans out there who swear by this series. Where does one begin with the series?

Is the original episodes the right place to start?

I've watched a few episodes here and there but never had a chance to sit down and watch anything to completion.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Well, I know I'm one of the bunch of GW fanatics around here, so I'll say this ... I'd start with the TV series. The movie, Endless Waltz, will be missing a bit without the background story of the series.

The Operation Meteor (otherwise known as Odd & Even numbers) footage is best watched after the series, and the manga, Battlefield of Pacifists fills in the gap between the end of the series and the movie. Also, the Episode Zero manga fills in the back story on each character. Most of this stuff I wouldn't recommend unless you watch the series and really enjoy it.

Endless Waltz was pretty confusing for me since I have no clue who those characters were or what they were about.

What zero said.

I'm another one of those big Gundam Wing fans. Just look at my username. It's not hard to miss.

Definitely start with episode 1 of the tv series. Endless Waltz OVA is the final 3 episodes of the tv series. You don't have to watch them as the tv series does have an ending but the OVA just adds to it. And if you've gone that far, why not?

Agreeing with zero even more, if you want to watch Odds & Evens, then you should really read Battlefield of Pacifists first. It'll help you understand what's going on as from what I know Odds & Evens has never been fansubbed. I've only ever seen the raws. It also takes place after everything else.

Have a blast watching!

Ducky, it was probably confusing since you shouldn't have been watching it without the tv series. It's really the final 3 episodes.

Who are the other those big Gundam Wing fans?

Well, Cloud, zero is another one of them. I won't out the others. I'll let them speak for themselves.

Thank you both for the direction. And thank you too you little crazy bot.

Huh, almost four years to the day.
