[2ndSndWve]

So, I finally finished Gundam 00. And that was pretty gosh darn fantastic. My only problem is, once again, the pacing. With the exception of Mr. Bushido, every nemesis character is killed/defeated in the last 3 or so episodes. That, along with every one of the twenty-some subplots being resolved at the same time made the ending feel very rushed. I feel that if these plot points were individually resolved in their own separate episodes (or maybe 2 or 3 at a time), they could've been fleshed out more it wouldn't have been nearly as rushed. But as a whole, it was a good ending. I was also disappointed with how little the Reborns did, I'd always assumed that it was the primary antagonistic MS of season 2. It seemed almost an afterthought, as it barely lasted half an episode and wasn't even used for the true final battle. Also they did a crap job of explaining how Setsuna and Louise magically became Innovators, I'm still not sure how that worked.


But as a whole, it was a great show. I'm going to wait a bit before watching the movie, though, I'd like to let this ending sink in before I possibly ruin it with a movie that gets very mixed reviews.
