Like the actual Japanese ones?
Because I hadn't until recently (I've been re-watching the series for the first time since my young'n days), and like...I see why they made different credits for the US dub. Holy god they're so out of place compared to...everything else about the series.
That hasn't been altered in any way. That's the credits.
Such a serious, severe story about the affects of war on people, every episode regardless of what happens in it, ends with that diabetic coma inducing thing in which Relena stares into your soul.
That's so hilariously WTF, I love it.

Nothing says "giant robots fighting" like a pretty girl... err, sitting around the woods and... playing with dogs and lions and deer and... pulling a rhino's tail?

IB4 the yaoi fangirls raise their pitchforks and torches screaming "RELEENA IS THE GREAT SATAN! SHE GETZ IN TEH WAY OF 1X2!!!" And for the record, I LIKE Relena. Take that, Relena-bashers! ;D The credits shown also appears in the US DVDs. The alternate credits appear in the Toonami version. STOP LOOKING AT ME!!! That was the gay Gundam pilot series, right? The closest to a yaoi pairing is Trowa and Quatre. |

The closest to a yaoi pairing is Trowa and Quatre. I distinctly remember that all five of those dudes could have gotten some at one point or another during that series, but never sealed the deal. The only one I couldn't buy as gay is Duo. |

Yeah, nobody was actually gay in Gundam Wing. It was a misconception created by...um, the internet. Yeah, the yaoi slash thing is huge for this series, but meh...I don't give a damn.
For the record, I actually like Relena too, Maximum DESU~!, I hated her at first just because well...initially she's so...unlikable and offputting, but as the series goes on she gets kinda badass. Pulling a gun on Lady Unf...err...Lady Une? Hell yeah. That was rad.
She's not really as hot as say...Noin, but she's...still pretty adorable.

Noin FTW.
Oh yeah, I remember this. It's been years since I watched that show, but I still remember scratching my head for several minutes after watching that ending.

The credits make more sense if you "Just Love."

Never really got the hate for her. Was a kid back then, so the important thing to me was the giant robots.
Anyway, another out of place ending theme would be Elfen Lied.

Relena is Gundam Wing's version of John Cena.
Fanboys : LET'S GO RELENA!
Fangirls : RELENA SUCKS!

Wait, we're talking about anime end-credit songs that are completely mood-altering? This discussion ends with five words:
Hare.
Hare.
M*****.
F******.
Yukai.
You watch a show which completely f's with space, time and all that stuff, and at the end, you get this:

Eh. The anime was pretty upbeat, so the Hare Hare Yukai wasn't shocking at all.

Wasnt there an FMA ending that had Winry smiling and playing with animals? And this kept airing even during the "dark" episodes.

I remember that, I saw it years back, and I didn't like it that much. Not because it has Relena(I also never got what the hate was about), but because it doesn't fit into Gundam, doesn't even feel like an outro/ending to Gundam. And maybe it's also because I'm not a fan of Gundam Wing either.

Also check out both closing credits to Outlaw Star, neither of which has to do with the show:
ED1 - Hiru No Tsuki:
ED2 - Tsuki No Ie:
Both songs by Akino Arai.

And in comparison, the OP. Can't post it either, for the same reason as Justice.
Also, Detroit Metal City's OP and ED.
