Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - Operation 6

For those who have followed (adored, craved, idolized, etc.) the exploits of the five shooting stars, this disc moves along pretty well with the exception of episode 27 (The Locus of Victory and Defeat) which pretty much just recaps the previous 26 episodes with Relena narrating. This is a necessary vehicle in serialized stuff like this and it is handled pretty well here. Lots of action and intrigue including some fairly juicy political shenanigans with Trez and all his friends and enemies. Not quite as heavy on the combat as some of the previous DVDs but lots of tasty close up fighting between prototypes and many serious explosions.

The DVD transfer and encoding on these discs is pretty good with only minor minor glitches such as slight frame repeat/jump following menu item selection. Extras are pretty basic, just like the other discs, with pilot and mecha information that you could easily grab up from a web site or something similar.... Given the volume of production work and prototype drawings generated with all anime it seems sort of a shame to not include these on the DVDs especially since BanDai is making the digitally spoiled amongst us wait for the discs while the VHS folks will have all the episodes sixty days sooner.

My copy of Endless Waltz is still sealed and awaiting the last "episode" DVD to be released. !3x4/4x3!

Watch Wufei, Quatra, & Duo go nutty in their new and improved mobile suits. Witness as OZ & Romafella feel the distructive powers of Wing Zero. The disc is pure pleasure.

This DVD features episodes 26-30 Nothing much really happened in these episodes, as these episodes are nothing more than recaps of what happened in the other 25. I love gundam wing, however i won't recommend this if this is your first gundam dvd, because you're not knowing what gundam really is about (despite its review material.) Nothing is better than DVD 4, and DVD 5 which features superior gundams, and well a thicker plot line. If you like gundam, or are so so about them... you should get this dvd. It will definetly clear up some of the plot lines in which you were watching and wasn't sure about in the last 5 DVDs.

The DVD still feautres great graphics (perhaps even the best parts of the series so far, in review form) and audio of both english and japanese!! If you like anime, you should watch Gundam Wing, and this DVD still is wonderful for the series (despite its mostly review material.)

Nothing important happens in the 5 espiodes on this DVD. This DVD does however introduces a new character: Dorothy who is studying at the Sanc Kingdom with Relena as the head of the kingdom. At the end of the DVD, Heero and Quarte are with Relena in the Sanc Kingdom. The other espiodes are just recaps of what happened before. Not the best gundam wing DVD, but why not buy the whole series?
