I saw Wing first and loved it, but then again I barely understood it. I was in sixth grade at the time so all the serious political stuff made a large impression on me. In retrospect, it was a horrible, head-throbbing disaster, making little sense and full of dialogue that went no-where.
It isn't nearly as atrocious a travesty as SEED or its bastard heckspawn, SEED Destiny though. Oh man, looking at everything from the UC perspective and how mainstream people seem try to "get Gundam" through their first introduction is both nostalgic and horrifying.
