Three shows, two movies and IGLOO to go

I have now finished Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, which means that with respect to UC Gundam I have watched

Mobile Suit Gundam
Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket
The 8th MS Team
Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory

and what I have left is

MS IGLOO
Zeta Gundam
Gundam ZZ
Char's Counterattack
F91
Victory Gundam

I am slowly, but steadily getting there!

The thing about 0083 is, I felt like half the episodes were missing five minutes to explain how they tied in with the next episode. Also, and this is something I felt about 0080 and 8th MS Team as well, it felt kind of aimless. There were clearly stated goals - get back Unit 2, prevent a colony drop - but the show itself seemed to amble about. Maybe it's because they were, strictly speaking, filler shows.

Gundam Wing Lady Squee

For me, who was first introduced to Gundam Wing through fanfiction, it was a real shock to actually watch the series and realise that the female characters were actually

a) Present
b) Important to the plot (some more than others, but the same can be said for the male characters)
c) In possession of different personalities
d) Personalities which were not solely dependent on their “designated male”.
e) Heck, some of the women were more developed as characters than some of the men!

I fell for them all. Some more than others, but to a certain extent I appreciate every single Gundam Girl. So here is my love post. Warning: Image-heavy.

(And please, if you don’t like one or more of them, could you please save that for the quarter million webpages where you’d get a chorus of “Word!” if you said so? This is my squee. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t harsh it.)

(Also, I didn't cap these myself. I found them somewhere - if I can remember where, I'll put it up.)
