Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Collection 1[ Blu-ray]
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Well, I pre-ordered this item and just got it on the 10th. Disc 1 is very engaging, it’s a good series, different from the rest of the gundam’s animation, which could be considered good or bad for some people who are harsh on animation. Fight scenes are good. Time has allowed more action sequences seen, unlike gundam wing and those before it where it’s the same like beam saber slash, sandrock slashing through two leos, etc. Pretty good so far on the character development. English voices are very good, bandai imo does an excellent job staying close to the actual translation. I found Lacus’s english voice to be annoying compared to the japanese voice, and the songs she sings in english arent the same lyrics, even though it doesn’t show her lip movement singing them. So, hmm, wtf. The other characters are great, so it’s unfortunate that I have to switch back just to hear lacus in japanese at times lol.
There are glitches on the discs so I’d recommend not buying it until they issue fixed discs. Episodes 9, 10, 14, 24, 25 all experienced lock up/freeze problems. My laptop dvd player wouldn’t even play disc 2, my desktop did though and only locked up on the episodes that were bugged. Check bandai’s website to see when they issue the new ones and then pick it up imo. It’s a good price for the first half of the series.
If you did buy this already and experience the same problems I did, call bandai and they will send you an email with the info on how to return the dvds and address. cost me $3.45 for like 3 seed discs and 3 gundam wing discs i had problems with. should take about a week and a half to get the new ones back to me.

I read other reviews on this page about disc 2 not working, but decided to risk it. My item came super fast. I opened it to find disc 2 not in it’s place but rather upside down on top of disc 3, and quite scuffed. The disc plays fine but it looks like crap next to all my other DvDs that are in A++ condition.
As for the series itself, I loved watching it on Cartoon Networks “Midnight Run” (Thats pre Adult Swim if your wondering! lol) but I missed alot. Well now I have it (Vol 1 & 2 & Endless Waltz) and I’m loving every second! If your new to Anime this is the one to check out! All the elements are there and the animation has held up well for a 15 year old series. Do yourself a favor pick this well priced gem up, you wont be sorry!

Broadcasted on American TV in 2000, “Mobile Suit Gundam Wing” (originally entitled “New Mobile Report Gundam Wing”) was the country’s first exposure to a franchise that has captivated Japanese viewers for over 2 decades, roping in a new fanbase. And now Bandai’s “Anime Legends” branch has released this series in 2 money/space-saving bundles, the first bundle containing the first 25 episodes in 5 disks. In the After Colony (AC) year 195, mankind has found a new home in space colonies. But Earth’s unified government rules the colonies with an iron fist, using giant robotic mobile suits to keep the populace in line. Fed up, colonial rebels pair 5 teenage soldiers–including the suicidal Heero Yuy–with the most advanced mobile suits and send them to Earth to wreak havoc. But the chosen few tasked with liberating their people sure have their work cut out for them.
