Gundam Wing - Play-by-Play

I have figured out that there are some changes in the translation of the titles from Japanese to English (But even so, this particular anime has been kept as true and faithful to the original series as any I've ever seen televised before.). So, after having this dawn on me, I thought, "Why not put up the Japanese names for a sneak preview and keep putting the American ones up every day?" So that's what I'm going to end up doing, 'cause there's no need to do a job half-assed. Big thanks go out to my good friend and DBZ/Gundam compadre Goku Cloud for hooking me up with the best, most precise copy of the episode guide known to me. So, without further ado, here are the English names, which will be updated daily (That's right, I didn't stutter. I get on here EVERY day and update it as soon as the episode name is revealed. Or, as the case may be, someone might leak a little info to me about episodes...but you never know!). The Japanese ones follow them. Happy viewing!

Mad props go to Nicole for pionting out Airdate innacuracies. ::like Homer:: "DOH!"

Ok, these summaries contain MAJOR SPOILERS. Read them if you've seen the show already or don't care. Don't blame me for giving away the plot. You have been warned! Also, each episode summary contains comments by the Base crew. Read them, we might just have an insight once in a while.

Epilogue - Special Prelude to Endless Waltz

<--- GundamWing: Endless Waltz Starts Here --->
(Note: These are the Japanese titles for Endless Waltz. Bandai will probably make different ones and make more than just three episodes from them. American conversion is funny like that. Big mega huge props go to Kyuuri for the episode names, and be sure to check out her site, BOYS DON'T CRY: A SHRINE TO DUO MAXWELL. It's listed in the GW Top 100.)
