Gundam 00 episode 1

That opening theme makes me feel so nostalgic. Despite having watched the show for the first time less then a yer ago.

A wild herd of Gundams appears! Aeolia Shenberg used confuse ray!

It was pretty smart how they drew out the AEU forces. But oh my god the acting in this episode. Its so deadpan. Maybe its just because the actors of the Gundam meisters were getting into thier roles and this is how they are supposed to sound but good god there's so much deadpan.

I also forgot how much of a fatass Gundam Virtue was.

Episode 2

"I am a Gundam"

Sure you are Setsuna. And my 7 year old cousin wants to grow up to be a dog.

That armed intervention was pretty cool. Just the insane Gundams fighting those tank like suits. And the governments stumbling over themselves to find out about the Gundams. I like the fact that they don't side with anybody, as the show itself does bring up how everybody is pushing one side in a lot of these local wars.

One of the things I love about this series is that the design of mobile suits is logical. The cheap ones that all of the local armies use look like walking tanks, while the Gundams are highly stylized and powerful due to them being custom made, with the 3 Earth group's suits being somewhere in between.

I downloaded the episode in HD and my god does this show look glorious in HD. The suits look amazing and the action is bright. Granted, if you look at it up close, it looks bad but I love the HD look.
