oh so Gundams did end up uniting the world after all.a more straightforward and realistic version of Endless Waltz where the ruling class have monopoly on military weaponry to keep the peace in check.
>the piper perri meme
Done with S1The 1st half was a let down. I really disliked Celestial Being since they're bunch of unserious happy go lucky amateur playing vigilante. There's a lot of similarity with Gundam Wing and I watched 00 immediately after I finished Wing, so I can't help but comparing them and feeling that 00 is just a worse version of it. Gundam Meisters suck since they're not only incompetent but also clueless about what they're doing, a complete opposite of Wing's Gundam Pilots who were actual extremely competent super soldiers. I mean, I know they were written like that on purpose, but it's still very uninteresting to watch.Fortunately it got good after GN-X got introduced. The stake was there and there were tons of actual death, although there were some copout like with Ali and Lockon (Neil). They both should've stayed dead, but I guess the writer wanted to force and extend their rivalry in the 2nd season. Lame. But still better than Wing where no one ever fucking dies.Looking forward to Season 2 with super saiyan robots, alien fuckery and of course my favorite mech from 00: Susanowo in action.
>>23499602Lockon S2 is actually a different character that Lockon S1 and I don't mean "lol twins". They are different people that started in the same place but act differently, I haven't understood why people ignore that when they talk about the issues with S2.
>>23499493Veda picked for loyalty to/compatibility with CB's goals over piloting skill. Plus IIRC, Ribbons rigged the pilot selection so Setsuna would get a slot after seeing him gaze at the 0 Gundam in awe.>>23499512I think this is one of my favourite bits of stock footage ever, just because of how goofy it is while still presenting the GN-Xs as a threat.
>>23499891Because Lyle is incredibly boring with zero stakes in the plot. He does nothing all series and then gets an incredibly forced quickly resolved plot with Anew. In fact, most of the cast in S2 are nothing characters. The show becomes by the numbers in S2 and they didn't know what to do with most of the characters so they just sit around.
>finished a 25 episodes show in 2 days
>>23501468>skip OP >skip ED>skip recap before AND after OP theme>18 mins per episode>18 mins x 25 episode = 450 mins = 7.4 hours = 3.7 hours / day
>>23497225Ackually that's the wing zero doing the wing zero pose
>>23499579If the series ended here and the moral of the story was that being a terrorist solves nothing and CB got what they wanted with a backhand I would have liked it a lot more, but then we got rainbow haired misfits and it just tanked.
Starting S2
>>23501468nigga, I did GGG in two days, 3 if we include Final. I had an unrelated fever later and my brother told me I was delirious going gagagagagawhile I slept

I finally get the reason the "vibe" in this series is kinda weird and familiar. This shit is like Trails of Cold Steel where there are multiple know-it-all smartass factions observing the status quo and giggling from afar "fufu... everything is according to keikaku...". cringe.

>>23499602This is interesting to me because 00 was my first Gundam and I still have a soft spot for it but I can't for the life of me get into Wing, it bores me to tears.
oh suddenly the feds are against A-Laws now? wow very nice that it all happened off-screen!
>>23502186If you only care about cool gundam battle, then 00 is much better.

00 s2 would have been much better if Louise died, Saji died, and Nena lived. Setsuna should've ditched the black haired girl for the cute pink girl too. The middle east sucks in general anyway.I agree too with the earlier post that Soma and Allelujah or whichever he is had terrible writing. Them ending up together is fine, but it was rushed so badly.
>exact same ending as S1>same status quo, just with a different globalist presidentlol I'd be so disappointed if I didn't know there was an alien invasion movie after this.

Done with Gundam 00Pretty good. I’d say its greatest strength is its abundance of important side-characters, so it’s easy to set up rivalries and dramatic death scenes. The plot is straight forward, clear and coherent without any cryptic pretentiousness like some other Gundam series have. I really like the mecha design and I ended up liking the mobs like Flag, Brave and Arche more than the main Gundams. It’s unfortunate that Exia and its evolutions/variants are so popular that Bandai keeps milking them instead of making other 00 stuff.Some things I disliked:1. What’s the point of Marina? I can’t even hate her because she’s just invisible2. Lyle Dylandy is such a cheap copout. They wanted to kill Lockon, but still wanted his presence and personality in the story, so they created his twin out of nowhere who’s exactly like Neil in literally every single aspect. I read somewhere that Feldt should’ve replaced Lockon as Gundam Meister. I think that’s a good idea.3. Too much focus on Ribbons shenanigan. It sucks that CB is the only faction that's even aware of their existence while the Feds were clueless good goys until the very end.4. The ending sucks. We still have the exact same totalitarian world government, but apparently the peace is everlasting now because uhh... Innovators. 5. Lack of content diversity. our heroes are always together and fight a similarly choreographed Gundam battle every single episode. I guess most Gundam series are like this. Wing is just special with so much independent action, infiltration missions and treating their mech like socks.Overall, I enjoyed Wing more, but 00's final battle and climax (S2) are much, much better.Movie isn’t bad, but meh. It’s hilarious that they were trying to force Feldt x Setsuna when they never even interacted before lol.Next to Watch: F91 (rewatch), The Origin and G-Reco Movies
>>23505012and I'd like to thank the Chinese for making 1/100 Masurao just after I finished watching 00, because Bandai refused to do so.my favorite local store said it should arrive by next month. I can't wait.
>>23505012My Sexo Ranking:1. Soma Peries (not Marie)2. not-Nena that Billy got to fuck3. Sumeragi 4. Feldt5. -- none --
>>23505022I think they refuse to make Flags because of how thin they are.
>>23505012>without any cryptic pretentiousness like some other Gundam series have.Did we watch the same show? While not at the degree of UC, 00 has a lot of cryptic bullshit: Innovators, secret societies, etc.And stop talking like an AI output. That whole paragraph is embarrassing.> What’s the point of Marina?Designated onahole for the protagonist, same as Linina in Wing or those two in IBO. It's a thing that happens all the fucking time in anime. See, these fucking writers can't help themselves to insert worthless romance subplots.>so they created his twin out of nowhereAt least Lyle was foreshadowed in season 1. The issue here was execution (ie. he's an exact OEM replacement for Neil, with no character of his own).>the exact same totalitarian world governmentStop using terms you don't know the meaning of.Also, word of advice: there's more to mecha than fucking Gundam. Watch literally anything outside the franchise.
>>23505069Transforming MS are always a challenge to engineer in model kits. Also, Bandai isn't really interested in 1/100 scale anymore. Recent MGs are rehashes of existing tooling.
>>23505081name 5 better non-gundam mecha
>>23505175Gaogaigar, Gridman, Macross, Fafner, Raideen
>>23505421all trash, sorry.
>>23505421What was the point of telling him if he was going to shit post?
>>23501942Marina exists because Mizushima fucking hated Lacus to the extent that he created a character just to nonstop shit on and make fun of the idea behind her.
>>23505081>Designated onahole for the protagonist,>e. he's an exact OEM replacement for Neil, with no character of his ownImagine misunderstanding a robot show for children this much.
>>23501882setsuna got that dog in him>>23502295>most insufferable faggot of the series>he livesmost bullshit character ending in all of gundam
>>23502295>>23508797His character arc only really works with his sacrificial death in the movie, but everyone forgets about it because it gets one upped super fucking hard by Graham.
Biggest plot point that I liked and don't see anywhere else is how the middle east goes to (worst) shit once the world gets off oil.
>>23508904Because it's very, very stupid - we use oil to make plastic. The middle east would be fine.
So is it worth watching?
>>23508904>>23510970We mainly use petrochemicals for plastic production but we can easily synthesize it with the dehydration of ethanol via sulfuric acid.
>>23513937and we don't, because...?
>>23513960Petrochemicals are lucrative to produce & the corpos & OPEC cartel want to keep the gravy train following.Same thing when tobacco companies had studies showing how smoking causes lung cancer for decades & kept silent because they didn't want to stop selling the product that could cause their customers to bankrupt themselves paying for healthcare & die.
>>23513989why would this be any different in 2307
>>23499579>>2349722000 legitimately works better as a show if you treat Season 1 as a standalone work and ignore the existence of Season 2 or Awakening of Trailblazer, only real downside is that it renders all the scenes involving the princess(whose name I can't remember because of how little she matters) completely pointless instead of just merely mostly pointless, but I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to edit most of her scenes out
>>23515686The thing about 00 is that the entire thing was written with the aliens in mind. Mizushima has been open about this. That's why it's "okay" that CB fucks up a peaceful world with very little violence and turns it into a dictatorship under martial law, because if they hadn't done that then the aylmaos would have killed them all because there would have been no Innovators to communicate with them.
>>23515617Can't compete with literally free energy. Hence the 5 Solar Power Wars fought by the polities in Gundam 00.
>>23515705It's not that little violence. They're just in something of a lull and even that's just in terms of large-scale conflict. Plenty of unpleasantness going on at smaller ones.
>>23515740Wrong. The point of 00 is that it's identical to our present. That's why all the interventions occur in third world shitholes. Mizushima has talked about this too. He also thinks that 00 "successfully predicted" the next 18 years, lmao.
>>23515747>The point of 00 is that it's identical to our present.Right, a lull at the large scale with plenty of small scale conflicts.
>>23515768This isn't reflected in the setting of 00 and you know it. A couple of throwaway lines about muh solar wars are lipservice that amount to nothing.
>>23515811And Sergei's wife being dead. And Azadistan's recent history and Setsuna's backstory. And everyone having combat experienced aces. But no, I'm sure it's been peaceful and idyllic everywhere. Just like the 90s and 00s and 10s were in real life.
>>23515851A dead wife? In an anime? that's crazy. Mizushima has said that the middle east in 00 is a shithole because it's always going to be ashithole - he's quite clear that muh solar wars have nothing to do with it, he just doesn't think highly of arabs. It's been an even longer stretch of time than muh nineties since there was a war in the west, kiddo.
>>23515851Sergei is the only combatant that has seen actual conflict prior to the series, the rest are test pilots.
>>23516131that's nuts
>>23498134Honestly I hate Gundam (only saw G which was okay but not great and 00 which was awful) and I can't help but enter these threads.Congrats, you got me to give a (You) with this bait
>>23502260how many recent Gundam shows reach this level?Seed/Destiny sure but ibo, age, witch, etc seem like they faded into nothingness pretty damn fast
>>23518750retard
>>23521816The only one on that list that faded into nothingness is AGE because nobody watched it.
>>23513989Petrol works better than pretty much anything else. Solar is shit. Wind is shit. Water is dependent on a source so it's restricted by location.
>>23530799>Solar is shitThen why PV installations increase year after year? Here's a hint: because they need very little maintenance afterwards. In case you were not aware, only a fraction of the world's electricity is generated by petroleum derivatives (less than 2%).
>>23530799>OPEC cartel want to keep the gravy train followingThis isn't the 1970s anymore, Ampersand Imbecile. The biggest crude oil producer today is the US. OPEC is not the juggernaut it was back then, to the extent they have to agree on production quotas with Russia in order to keep the price competitive.
>>23497220nice trilogy, especially the film, as it explores themes we are already familiar with but from a more 21st-century perspective (and its contemporary conflicts), making them feel both fresh and fundamental. Setsuna, Graham, Tieria, Saji, and Marina are great characters who express individuality while also contributing to, developing, and adding nuance to the underlying themes. The sci-fi elements are top notch, allowing for moral nuances, parallels with our reality, and depth to the themes.The antagonists are quite mediocre (except for those in the film); they are useful from a thematic point of view but are never interesting characters in their own right. I liked the final battle of the second season, though.The flaws are things that one can easily separate from the whole. For example, the first 5 episodes are somewhat boring, the mid-season battle in the first season is really stupid (they sent them to their deaths, lmao), the aforementioned antagonists, and the existence of characters like Lyle Dylandy, his satellite character, and Felt.Kenji Kawai fucking rocks, and the OPs and EDs are also great. I really like Prototype and Tomorrow
>>23505012>1. What’s the point of Marina? I can’t even hate her because she’s just invisibleshe is a maternal figure who represents the other side of the coin from Setsuna. She isn't willing to kill and can't really understand people on the same level as an Innovator, but she is can do the same as us, what we truly need to do, to someday become a innovator. we can try to understand us, not all of us can (or should) change the future with force, event in extreme situacions, we can try to change our reality without spilling blood. The attempt is really what we need.And obviously, it's an easy ship, lol. I really liked the movie epilogue tho
>>23502307That's kinda the point. Celestial Being were a lot of morons who represented the frustration of the world, not what it actually needed. Lasse literally shouts this out in Season 1
I watched the first season and dropped it. Setsuna was the only character I found interesting and he simply could not carry the show alone.
>>23497220I tend to forget 00 exists, honestly.
>>23505012>created his twin out of nowhereexcept he's literally in two s1 episodes, you just didnt realize it.
>>23508537when you watch 00 with the context of it constantly shitting on seed, you get a better idea for the meta.00 is about being an actual AU gundam show, with fucking aliens and shit, set in "our" earth, etc. the final battle being setsuna vs rx-78 is a meta commentary on WE WILL MAKE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE GUNDAM, AND IT WONT JUST BE ANOTHER RETELLING/COPY. the fact that ribbons is voiced by amuro, making him the villain, is even better. if 00 is the most like any gundam show, it's wing, another AU show. 00 takes very, very few tropes from 0079, probably the least of any gundam series.
00 has a lot of my favorite designs.
