No, I haven't seen it yet, but I'll wait until the dub comes out. I don't want to spoil it completely.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=p01OOfKhwbE&feature=relatedAgain, the combination of Newtype near-psychic awareness, plus the enhanced abilities given by SEED mode, provide a near-undefeated state. And Kira is the only one with such a combination. Interestingly, when the S Freedom's DRAGOONS are released, the gold joints glow brightly. It always created an optical illusion in which the Freedom's entire body itself is glowing gold. Makes you think that they're not there just for show... Also, the Strike Freedom DOES have the Shining Wings effect; never knew that until I watched this video. All I have to ask now is, WHERE DO THEY GET ALL THESE COOL SONGS? ? MISC: -After seeing Athrun defend Luna from Shin, I remember that Athrun is the one with a harem this time, instead of Kira(like in SEED) or even Shin... ;D -3:22-3:33 shows the attack that parodies the Shining Finger attack.

Well thats the ultimate coordinator for you. Not sure how he was able to develop the extraordinary senses, but the SEED state is fairly obvious. And while the Strike Freedom does have the wing effect its nowhere near the extent that the Destiny has. The Freedom looks to be excess energy while the Destiny is actually using Mirage Colloid particles.
As for the songs, its virtually all J-pop or J-rock, if you are able to follow the songs from Japan it would be easy to find nice ones like that one.
As for your Misc comments, the first one would definitly be correct. Although when you consider that Athurn was focused more on in Destiny than Kira was it makes sense. (Although Kira only had 2 or 3 while Athurn had at least 4 if you include Lacus) And the as for the second one, yes I believe that the "Palma Fiocina" cannons were based off of the "Shining/Burning Fingers" attack. Although I wonder why more suits weren't equipped with those, they seem very useful. Just like the Infinite Justice's leg mounted blades.

Not sure how he was able to develop the extraordinary senses There's an accepted theory for that. In the SEED mythos, Ulen Hibiki, Kira's biological father, needed funding for his Ultimate Coordinator project. The only one who gave such a backing is the mysterious Al da Flaga, a mysterious, and "powerful", figure in the Atlantic Federation. It is implied that Al da Flaga is, in fact, a Newtype, since his three sons, Mu la Flaga, Rau la Creuset and Rey za Burrel all possess Newtype characteristics. Hibiki may have found this out when he was analyzing the senior Flaga's genes(he was given authority because Flaga agreed to fund the UC project in exchange for cloning by Hibiki, resulting in the latter two of Flaga's offspring). Hibiki decided to use some of da Flaga's DNA to further the capabilities of his Ultimate Coordinator. So, Kira may in fact have da Flaga's genetic structure, AND his Newtype traits. This is an AMV dedicated to my favorite non-main character Gundam, the oh-so-cool Akatsuki! The song sounded like an insert song from SEED or Destiny, I just don't remember: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQCFpxJsm1M&feature=relatedMISC: -Ironically, the incident that fully returned Mu's memories(in 2:05) perfectly echo the same incident that caused his amnesia in the first place! -Like the Providence, Legend and the Strike Freedom, Akatsuki's full potential can only be unleashed by a Newtype, like Mu la Flaga. And its DRAGOON-esque units are more versatile than those others mentioned, albeit smaller in number. -Amazing that Kira was abe to destroy the Legend without harming Rey za Burrel with those shots in 4:09.

Well that would make sense at how Kira got those. I never thought about that. Although I will have to say that even with the quantum link that allows a normal user to use the new Super-DRAGOON units, it must still put a heck of a strain on the user's mind when fighting DRAGOON vs. DRAGOON. A very nice AMV, I've always liked the Akastuki. Of course it would probably be easier to count the gundams that I didn't like in SEED. MISC: -Ironically, the incident that fully returned Mu's memories(in 2:05) perfectly echo the same incident that caused his amnesia in the first place! -Like the Providence, Legend and the Strike Freedom, Akatsuki's full potential can only be unleashed by a Newtype, like Mu la Flaga. And its DRAGOON-esque units are more versatile than those others mentioned, albeit smaller in number. -Amazing that Kira was abe to destroy the Legend without harming Rey za Burrel with those shots in 4:09. 1) At least he survived the second time, but then again the Akastuki is slightly better than the Strike 2) Although I'm not sure with the Akasuki, the Legend and Strike Freedom's DRAGOON units can be utilized by normal humans (but still probably limited to coordinators). Yet the Newtype senses would only compliment the the quantum communication of the Super-DRAGOON system 3) Actually what's really amazing is that he was able to kill virtually no one in the entire Destiny series and yet only loose 2 mobile suits. But at the same time defeat hundreds of opponents effortlessly, including one of ZAFT's most advanced mobile suits and new space fortress.

Shouldn't this thread be expanded to cover all video websites, like Veoh, MegaVideo, and CrunchyRoll?

Shouldn't this thread be expanded to cover all video websites, like Veoh, MegaVideo, and CrunchyRoll? The proper way is just to the thread title to change from "Youtube" to "Any Internet Videos". This is what I call "classics", the content AND the songs, ;D : www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w11i6L_Rps&feature=relatedwww.youtube.com/watch?v=EezelWEb9P8&feature=related

Sorry Dryuu, missed the AMVs. I can see why you call them the classics, we go from SEED to Wing. And for me Gundam Wing was and will always be the original gundam.
A nice recap of the Wing Zero vs. Epyon battle for the first one. Although I noticed that one clip that they didn't show was one that has caused some questions to be asked. If you look at the show there is a point where Wing Zero fires it vulcans at Epyon after entering the fragment of Libra and then when the camera changes to focus on Wing Zero you see bullets from another vulcan firing back.
And finally a nice one dedicated to Heero Yue. Easily the most talented pilot in the Gundam Wing series, at one point even being able to stand his ground against a gundam while only in a Leo. Heck he could give most coordinators a run for their money.
And finally I can never complain about an AMV with Epyon in them, which both of these featured at one point or another.

Lol, I'm impressed. A man with a banjo made it to the top.

(looks at thread title) Well, what do you know? They took my suggestion! Lucifer, my pinpoint knowledge in Wing is getting blunt, due to not having watched one since early last year. That's why I couldn't see the error you pointed out. Again, by TM Revolution: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyHm9RqdSrw&feature=userMISC: -It's amazing that Kira actually survived that battle against La Creuset. At that point in the series, Kira, even though he "might" be a born Newtype, his sensory abilities in that department aren't even fully developed yet. -According to Wikipedia, without the backup power from its DRAGOONS, the Providence is just as powerful as the GuAIZ, Creuset's Tallgeese-esque MS. In other words, WEAK.

It's going to seem even more amazing if you can answer this question without research; what is the infamous code in the fill-in fields when www.haruhi.tv was replaced with a fake 404 error page? Get that, and I will definitely be amazed.
