Gundam Wing: Blind Target by Akemi Omode
5.0
Still love it all these years later. Here’s the thing about Wing, you’re either totally on board or you’re not.
I’ve seen a lot of bad faith criticism of this series over the years and I gotta say, the concept of a bunch of young people being the only thing stopping a complete political and social meltdown between the earth and the colonies really doesn’t seem that out of pocket after the last decade we’ve had. Is it outlandish and all over the place sometimes? Yes, of course. That’s politics and our key players are all 15-16. If anything I think this series captures the insanity of political upheaval, war, and being a teenager pretty damn well.
