I love this series so much, but I was shocked when I read that commonsense said that it taught the Japanese ideal that dying in battle is honorable. Treize may believe so, and we are led to believe the Zeches believes so too, but if you listen to the dialog between the characters, you'll see that they debate whether or not dying in battle is truly honorable. Especially Wufei, and Heero.

What Parents Need to Know
About Gundam Wing series
Parents need to know that this sci-fi animated series from Japan is perfect for preteens and teens, who will thrill to the elaborate "mecha" (mechanical fighting machines), the melodrama, and the attractive characters. Gundam Wing offers adolescent and teen sci-fi fans a beautifully animated and imaginative array of technological warfare, covert operations, and teen melodrama in a story that's compelling, if occasionally confusing. Children younger than that (6-8) will be enthralled with the series as well for its constant action, but parents may balk at exposing their children to the series' nonstop military combat. For American audiences, the biggest problem may be the excessive militarism and the stubborn prevalence of the Japanese notion that the highest military ideal is to die in the service of one's cause.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the film's theme of militarism and what their values are in terms of military power. What would you do if you were in the teen pilot's position? Is it a battle you'd be willing to fight? Why?

Did anyone really watch this?
Aside from the fact that I am a die-hard Gundam fan and I think it's one of the worst series made, (in all seriousness, Zeta, 0083, 0080, 08th MS Team, the original, X, and Turn A kill it, amoung others) your reviews aren't even accurate. The five Gundam pilots would not be heroes in any sense of the word to the people in the series. What they are doing is nothing more than terrorism. We consider Al-Quidea blowing up military bases, killing officals, ect to be terrorism. Why don't you consider the series 'heroes' the same? In almost every Gundam series, you hate both sides after a while. In the Universal Century, the Zeons are run by a totalitarian royal family, whose Ghiren Zabi is very similar to Adolf Hitler. Then, you have the corrupt Earth Federation, who does not care about the people who live in space colonies or Lunar cities. The Titans taskforce they create after 0083 are based off the Nazi SS for cripe's sakes. Gundam is not a series with giant robots blowing stuff up. Look into it, and it's a pretty deep political drama, especally the Universal Century. Kids might like it for the explosions, but there is much more to it than that. Even Gundam SEED, which recently aired on Cartoon Network was all about hate, racism, and predjudice.

The best Anime series ever!
This show while being intriging,cool,action packed,and well written it's flaws are obvious in the uncut version 1. over 100 mild profanity uses 2. people are vaporized ( not graphic ) and shot No blood and stapped to near death in a sword fight. 3. people commite suicide about 7 or 8 times. Other than that I would suggest it for 10 or older the movie "Endless Waltz" has several shootings and one graphic shot through the head other than that, no deaths, I suggest the movie for 12 or older consult your parents before watching this show.
