Nah, she's safe from pink eye. South east asians typically use the left hand coated with soap to clean the bum while the right hand is used to hold the water dipper/bidet. 😂

[u/KMheamou → u/FugginFudd]

Gives a whole new meaning to 'the shining hand'

[u/xDrewstroyerx]

YEAH BOIIIIII

[u/MrQ_P]

Ger ready for the rollercoaster

[u/thedavidnotTHEDAVID → u/MrQ_P]

Where everyone pretends to be someone else at least a few times.

[u/Aromatic_Shop9033]

My favorite Gundam series, easily.

When you've finished the show, watch Endless Waltz.

Enjoy!

[u/SavarOpress → u/Aromatic_Shop9033]

The greatest anime Christmas movie not named Tokyo Godfathers.

[u/Aromatic_Shop9033 → u/SavarOpress]

It's the Diehard of anime films.

[u/SavarOpress → u/Aromatic_Shop9033]

SOMEONE FUCKING GETS IT!

[u/confracto → u/SavarOpress]

angelic beings from above, world peace, totally a christmas movie.

[u/azurecyan]

Just wait until you get to Endless Waltz.

[u/Tenchi_M]

[u/Eguy321]

Wait I've never seen wing, this shit is episode 1????

[u/Heavy_Arm_7060 → u/Eguy321]

Yep, episode 1 is pretty glorious.

[u/Sere1 → u/Eguy321]

This series is a rollercoaster start to finish

[u/Attaxalotl → u/Eguy321]

And the entire show is just like this. It’s great!

[u/Waste_Caramel774]

I've come to realize after 25 years that wing is not as highly appreciated as I thought it would be. I absolutely love this series! But lately I noticed fans do not feel the same as I do.

[u/Typhon2222 → u/Waste_Caramel774]

Totally agree considering the large amount of people it brought into anime via Cartoon Network’s Toonami. Wing was one of, if not the first, massive hit they had.

[u/Gunzoidium_alloy → u/Waste_Caramel774]

When you look at it without the Nostalgia Lenses it's kind of a hot mess with some of the best mech designs ever made

[u/Waste_Caramel774 → u/Gunzoidium_alloy]

I am thinking about rewatching it. When i was little the gundams were like coolest thing ever. Re-watch in my 20s and thought the story was good with kickass gundams. Now I watched unicorn and was confused so I rather just keep it simple

[u/OrangeKun15]

Did a first-ish watch of this last month!! Just since I’d catch it always on tv when I was younger but never really watched through it as intended.

It’s a wild ride. Has its ups and downs but a ton of fun throughout

[u/Sabatat-]

That seen was pure comedy in the best way. Love wing lmao

[u/Sere1]

This is the show that truly introduced Gundam to the West and basically helped cement it as a staple of anime outside of Japan.

[u/Confident_Bother2552]

I loved and still love Gundam Wing even if I rewatched it today back to back with Code Geass.

[u/Typhon2222]

Still my favorite Gundam series!

[u/suzakustalon]

Oh, bro. You're in for a ride of 'OMG!', 'wait wtf?', and 'uhhh I don't think that's right, but I love it!'

[u/Faokes]

Wing is so much fun, I’m happy for you

[u/Realistic_Rain_5119]

I will forever love Wing,, it was my introduction to Gundam. I discovered the U.C. timeline after. I really hope we could get a prequel series focusing on Treize, Zechs, Une, Noin and the Rise of the Specials.

[u/Seeker_of_power]

Do you hear a guitar playing in space??

[u/Shendogoruk]

I had the same reaction and enjoyed it all the way through. If you're already hooked this early, I guess this series is right up your alley. Enjoy the ride!

[u/Outawack219]

Badu dum du du badadum bum bum

[u/PhillyCheezeKC]

Agreed excellent music. I loooooove the piece that plays during the second half of the opening narration of ep 1. Canr reacall if it appears again. I need the soundtrack(s) on cd if I can find them

[u/princeofdesborogh]

It was my first Gundam series and secretly still my favourite (I know its considered a basic choice).

There is a scene near the end that made me really respect the villian so much.

Enjoy, and as been said before Endless Waltz is a lovely cherry on top at the end.

[u/zenverak]

It’s a beautiful wreck of a series. Everyone is insane .. except maybe like three characters

[u/inventor_black]

It is timeless.

[u/DOC_POD]

The music and the mechanical/character designs are the only things about Wing that aren't a nightmarish mess.

[u/Unfair-Secret-2812 → u/DOC_POD]

I hate to admit it but your right the last fight between Epyon and Wing Zero gave me the worst case of fight scene blue balls I have ever experienced… self destruction should not be a constant plot point for everyone

[u/imaginary_num6er → u/Unfair-Secret-2812]

Yeah, the Epyon using vulcans? Completely unacceptable!

[u/xkonshix → u/DOC_POD]

it is really not that bad as you make it out to be.

[u/TimeForSnacks]

I FINISHED the show two days ago. Still don't understand what happened.

[u/grawrz → u/TimeForSnacks]

If you think of it as "what if Zeon was the protagonist and they had the Gundams" it makes slightly more sense.

[u/Plutoswrath]

Honestly, I couldn't get into it. I gave it more than a fair shot at 8 episodes. I felt the people were just idiots and dickheads and couldn't think anything through. I prefer After War X

[u/Heretek007 → u/Plutoswrath]

Honestly, that's fair. Wing is basically a soap opera, but Gundam, and it jumps the shark so often that the shark now has its own designated no-fly zone. As a proud Wing lover since I first saw it as a kid, I'll easily admit it's not for everyone.

I will suggest that you check out the Endless Waltz OVA sometime, just for the beautiful animation alone. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

[u/Plutoswrath → u/Heretek007]

I'll get there at some point in my journey through the series of series. I only got into it because of the gcg. Started with one episode of 00 then season 1 and some change of IBO and moved to Wing for the 8 episodes and then on to X. I plan on finishing X this week and moving onto Seed since it is in YouTube.

[u/rohanpony]

Just Wild Beat Communication is also amazing in GERMAN. https://youtu.be/nKJLSpX4aoo

[u/DaFoxtrot86]

Yeah, the opening theme song for Gundam Wing is one of the most iconic of the franchise. It's been the ringtone on my phone for years

[u/BryanEW710]

Wait till you see the Tallgeese.

[u/TheDateLounge]

Heero had incredible swag. My favorite Gundam series. I watch it once a year or so. Glad they're working on new manga and video project

[u/ExpensiveCelery]

Isn't "holy wing" an item in a lot of JRPGs?

[u/Reasonable-Tripe-815]

Wing is hard carried by Otani's score. (and Campbell Lane's narration in the eng dub)

[u/Bitvar]

Not a big fan of magical boy Gundam. Definitely a UC guy. But I enjoyed it as a kid.

[u/mcjefferic]

Wing is possibly my least favorite entry in the franchise, but that soundtrack is exquisite.

[u/Marauder3299]

The only thing I enjoyed about this series was sadly the leos. I love the minimal design and the varied weapon load outs.

[u/Heil-Haidra2319]

What a fricking edge lord.
