About 7 episodes into Gundam Wing. Would like to have been further in, but have been busy with Christmas stuff. A couple of notes:
- As much as I want to hate Heero, I kind of like the guy. His manical laughter as he slaughters people is kind of funny. Sucks he got tooled into slaughtering the Earth Sphere Alliance Heads.
- Trieze is a lot cooler than I remember him. Now, he hasn't done much so far, but he's so smooth and elegant.
- **** Lady Une. I hated her in 1999 or 2000 or whatever, and I hate her now.
- Relena is a lot more pathetic than I remember her being. I mean, I know she's suppose to be based on Sayla (the whole princess in exile/sister of rival thing), but her romance with Heero has been dreadful. She's totally wet for him just because he's a) mysterious, b) treats her like crap, c) threatens to kill her every time they meet. She wasn't even that upset about her father's death because she was too hard on for Heero.
- Zechs is more of a ***** than I remember. Even his own soldiers talk back to him. Char would have never put up with that crap. He's such a ***** that he doesn't even have the balls to tell his best friend to not kill his sister. His girlfriend had to do it behind his back.
- Not the biggest fan of indestructable gundams, but I'll work with it.
- As soon as Quatre and Trowa had their music session together, memories of being in 7th grade flooded back to me. My friends used to joke that they were a couple. Trowa, who somehow manages to be even more stoic than Heero, probably doesn't care too much about Quatre, but Quatre DEFINITELY has a thing for Trowa.
- A lot more factions than then I remember.
For the Earth Sphere Alliance, you have the general council or whatever. Then you have the Romefeller Foundation and OZ. Furthermore, OZ has a special branch called the Specials. So that's what, 4 groups just within there?
The space colonies seem to be much looser knit. There seems to be at least 5 groups, judging by how each Gundam pilot operates independently. Or maybe there is just one major colony group with 5 autonomous cells or something. I can't remember.
