I love the bit where Trowa is confused by his tears. I seem to remember something similar happening in another anime series (er, possibly several anime series!) and it cracked me up then too. It's just so delightfully ridiculous. Like most of Gundam Wing, really.
As you said, though, there's a certain amount of realism when it comes to the representation of war in GW, and I really appreciate that. For example, the constant technological mishaps. Love 'em. Also, the fact that almost everyone in the series is suffering from raging PTSD or some other psychiatric disorder, which is exactly what you'd expect from fifteen year olds who have been forced to become soldiers and murderers.
...God, I love this series. *runs off to find DVDs*
