Some of you may know, I'm a real die hard Gundam fan. I have been one since I watched Mobile Fighter G Gundam since I was a kid. I even spent my time building models from God Gundam (From Kido Butōden G Gundam) to 00 Gundam (from Kido Senshi Gundam 00). After watching both seasons of Gundam 00, I really liked how they had the plot done and how they expanded on character development, not many anime series do that now a days. So I've heard that Gundam 00 was somewhat or very similar to one of its predecessor Gundam series, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. I was skeptical at first about watching it at first because it would be like a repeat of watching Gundam 00. But I caved in because some of the Gundam games I have played (and again, I'm a die hard Gundam fan so I even go as far as to play the games no matter what system they're on!) Last weekend, I gave in and started watching the first 3 episodes of Gundam Wing and I was impressed that it did seem like 00 but in a different light. They even had codenames which 00 had, hell even some of the characters were the same. The characters whom I thought were very much identical were the protagonists of both series, Heero Yuy and Setsuna F. Seiei (of Gundam Wing and Gundam 00 respectively). Both very cold characters who're confused at first and yet in the end, still fight for what they believe is right, completing their missions at any cost.
But as far as the series goes so far, I'm pretty much enjoying it. I'm currently watching Episode 24 which means I'm at the halfway point through the series. There are 49 episodes in total.
I hope to get up to episode 30 before I get to bed and watch the remaining 19 episodes, plus the movie "Endless Waltz" tomorrow before I go back to school on Monday. I'll keep you posted.

The episode is called "The Gundam They Call Zero" which explains itself, introduces the new mobile suit, the Wing Zero.
Though some of the differences from Gundam 00 and Gundam Wing is that instead of 4 Gundam "Meisters", there are 5 pilots each from 5 different colonies but even so, its practically the same.
