I disagree...but because I wanted to talk on the original topic I'll stop there, but that would make a great serious discussion topic.



Mid-way through the series, almost all the male characters had some kind of "female friend". Quatra and Wufei, only the former actually comes off as gay, are the only ones without women.

On the first post: I liked the way Envy is done. The ambiguousness was very fitting to the whole "shapeshifter" thing. I always just assumed it was a she though because of the tube-top and mini-skirt/hotpants. the male head looked really akward on her body, like some bad attempt at modding.

Maybe the "bishonen" boys are an attempt to appeal to the...less than straight men who watch anime....Which I would be curious to know how many anime fans that actually is. I can't imagine(in japan of all places) that they're a very big market. Maybe it's just because alot of anime's are invented by women, maybe our idea of a square-jawed male is really the exception and not the rule.

Maybe they just needed a counter point to go against all of the previous Universal Century series of men in giant robots. I am not sure whether Gundam Wing the kids where prepubescent or in that transitioning stage, or where actual maturing teenagers by the end of the series. Maybe Gundam wing was a sort of nostalgic return to the old "Boy and Robot" series, notting on the kind of fire power each machine had and a unique ability each pilot possesd.

Envy Confused me in the English version, I could not pin anythin down in the voice acting so i had to relly on physical attributes which makes it even more difficult which is probably what the creators wanted to do, gender bending with Envy with an emphasis that Envy knows no bounds when it comes to gender. In the phylosophical and psycologocal sense.
