Outlaw Star is almost definitely better, but I have a soft spot for Gundam Wing.

However, there's one guy who I went to elementary with, every single time I see him he tells one of two stories, the relevant one to this topic being the times I would Naruto Run at recess.

Fuckin' casual never figured out that I was Outlaw Star running, I've never even seen an episode of Naruto.

I liked Gundam Wing more at the time and it was formative in my love of anime and mecha, but I would much rather rewatch Outlaw Star.

I personally like Gundam Wing better (although my opinion of it has gone down over the years for sure) but I connect Outlaw Star more with Toonami.

Never watched Outlaw Star. Tried revisiting Wing a while ago but found it borderline unwatchable. Soundtrack is fire, though.

I say this to everyone: Mech anime almost all across the board, has the best music in anime. Mech anime music is always fire.

Outlaw Star, but the memes from Gundam Wing are hot fire.

And all things being said, the Leo is the best-designed non-Zaku grunt mecha.

Didn't love Outlaw Star. Had an amazing start, and then... just went nowhere for 20-30 episodes. If they kept up that momentum from the start, it would have been awesome.

I would have to give it to Gundam Wing. It meanders in places (which reflects the director being jettisoned the show) but overall I felt it had a steady baseline, and didn't dip nearly as much as Outlaw, in comparison.

Outlaw star overall. Gundam wing had a good bit of slow episodes that didn't really go nowhere, and wufei was a major weiner. Duo is friggin' awesome but even he cannot carry the bad wufei focused episodes alone lol. Those two things sort of dragged the show down a little bit.

Id honestly give that to the new Bastard!! adaptation. Ill post the first OP and the regular album, version because the video is uh yeah.

But its all metal themed. The spells are literally named after metal bands. So are the kingdoms, some characters are named after band members, etc.

Outlaw Star is still one of my top 3 favorite anime of all time to this day. Lovable cast, great humor, great world-building, amazing action scenes both on the ground and in space, banger OP song, two ED songs that are just pure vibes... I could go on. The only really bad thing I could say about Outlaw Star is that the story feels incomplete and probably always will be. I've heard it had a sequel greenlit at one point, but it was cancelled early on and some of the concepts planned for it were re-used for that mediocre Angel Links spin-off that takes place in the same universe.

I feel like there are more anime with completely different ending credits compared to the actual content than there are that match, especially for anime of that era.

I will say, hot spring episode aside, when I rewatched it sometime within the last year, I was really surprised how Percy it was, especially at the start.

Treize is a fantastic antagonist and the Leos are probably one of the best grunt designs in the franchise, but Wing itself is a pretty mediocre show and hasn't aged very well aside from Endless Waltz.

hard choice because
I loved Outlaw Star but never watched the whole series
And Gundam Wing was cool and I consumed more of it but I still think Outlaw Star is better :\ I just feel like a poser for choosing either one of them.

also why is it so hard to find Outlaw Star on streaming services

Sadly, it looks like Outlaw Star has fallen into licensing hell and isn't available on any legal streaming service. It used to be on Funimation and Hulu, but then the CR/Funi merger happened, it never moved over to Crunchyroll in the merger, and the deal Hulu had to sub-license the show from Funimation expired and was never renewed. It sucks, but that happens to old anime sometimes.

Endless Waltz > Outlaw Star > Wing.

Wing was just so bleh and came across as popular purely because it was "America finally getting Gundam!"

but anyway between those two...it really depends on what you're into. Wing got a lot of folks into gundam/mecha but outlaw star's got that cheesy vibe that's hard to beat
