Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
"Gundam Wing" was a greater success in North America, however, and is credited with single-handedly popularizing the "Gundam" franchise among Western audiences. Just over a week after its premiere on Cartoon Network on March 6, 2000, the series was the top rated program in all age groups. During the summer of 2000, it remained as the first or second top-rated show among kids and teens during its twelve airings per week on the Toonami block. "Gundam Wing" was ranked the 73rd best animated series by IGN, calling the series "so good that even those opposed to anime have to give the show its due credit".

In an official livestream occurred after the anime's airing, Tomino stated that the timeline of the series is set 500 years after the events of "Turn A Gundam" (while claiming that it takes place 1,000 years after the UC), to the surprise of producer Naohiro Ogata and others who were with him at the time. This directly contradicts what is established onscreen in the series itself, where it is expressly stated that the Regild Century occurs some 3,000 years after the 1979 TV show, not to mention "Turn A Gundam", where it is stated in both episode 42 and later episodes that the Dark History records seen onscreen in "Turn A Gundam" are 10,000 years old. Additionally, most official published Sunrise materials likewise establish that the events of "Turn A Gundam" take place thousands of years after the UC, and not 500 years.
