The cast consists of a horde of bishounen ("beautiful boys"). That alone has rocketed this series to a God-like sort of acclaim -- something it certainly does not deserve. It's fun to note that most GW fans are newbies to the universe. If the typical fan had indulged in the earlier Gundam universe, it would become more apparent that this is only a derivative copy of plot elements and scenes from earlier series -- from 0079, all the way to Char's Counterattack. And bits and pieces of others as well. Even character designs were completely lifted (most apparent in Zechs). And beyond all its flash and all its Generation X appeal, it remains a simple cheap imitation of it's former. I'd advise anyone to simply pick up the original epic series and forget that the Wing universe ever existed. Unless you're really into bishounen...
