No problem. Keep on rocking on good sir.

I think the main problem is that Gundam Wing is this bizarre lightening in a bottle. It came at the right time and had just what it needed to make itself famous. I think it go crazy amount of love back in the day despite all it’s flaws but it also does not deserve all the hate it gets today.

Gundam X was a solid and fun Gundam show. I really suggest more people should ignore the stigma and give it a once over. They might be surprised.

Also Paula Cis is love.

I think X takes what’s good about UC and AU and crafts a different Gundam experience from the norm. Sorta like Turn-A but not as crazy. The post-apocalyptic setting that isn’t all doom and gloom provides a nice stage for healing and reconciliation.

I’m also pleased with how the tech works, because there are no real game-breakers and that ultimate weapons have grave disadvantages that keep them from being abused. This is a problem of most recent Gundam shows.

Maybe if X didn’t appear right after Wing, it would have more fans. But I’m glad that many people take their time out to enjoy this show, despite the bad rep it has among the majority of the Gundam fandom.
