Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
"Gundam Wing" was not the first series in the "Gundam" franchise to be dubbed and distributed in the U.S. (the compilation movie version of the original "Mobile Suit Gundam", as well as the OVAs "" and "", preceded it by about two years), but it is well known as the first "Gundam" series to be aired on American television. This dub was produced by Bandai Entertainment and the voice work was done by Ocean Productions. The series aired on Cartoon Network's weekday afternoon after-school programming block Toonami; premiering on March 6, 2000. In the first extended promo leading up to the series' premiere, voice actor Peter Cullen narrated the back story, evoking memories of "Voltron's" opening credits. The promo was said to be so riveting that Bandai decided to use it as the official promo for the series.

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.
