I love how your main reason for watching it is that Candelira's in it.

Gundam 00 episode 23

The feels man.... until season 2.
The military actually didn't do a whole lot. I mean they roughed up the Gundams enough for CB to be in a worse position but the Throne Zwei did most of the damage.

They really brought out the toys for this one. The new armor for Kyrios and Virtue, the GN arms for Exia and Armor for Dynames.

But those armors are so dumb. It's like a bad internet joke.

Gundam 00 episodes 24 and 25

Man, this ending was both a cliffhanger and anticlimatic. I'm glad that the Earth now has one uniform federation and that the villains got thier cumupins but people survived.

I could give two shits less about the gold mobile suit at the end. And that Graham Aker fight was so forced. I get the guy has a rivalry with the Exia, but making it the last fight of the season just doesn't do it for me.

Overall thoughts
Overall, Gundam 00 season 1 is very forgettable and episodic but still a good show. Before, you go type a response, let me explain.

While the grey morality, the struggle and unification of the 3 blocs and the armed interventions were very interesting, 00 season 1 just doesn't have that many memorable arcs or is memorable. Considering the fact that most of the major characters survive into season 2 the finale arc accomplished nothing. But, I wouldn't have all of the great season 2 stuff without these great characters, so I can't have it either way. A lot of the episodes before the Trinity arc are one episode stories. Celestial Being intervenes, the military adapts as a result and bring that with them to the next intervention, e.t.c. Which isn't a bad thing, I've seen shows that could do jack shit with an episode's worth of time (glares at Kamen Rider Wizard).

What I'm trying to say is, personally, when I think of Gundam 00, I think of season 2.

It's still a damn good show though. The art and animation is beautiful, the pacing is perfect and every episode, the story moves. It creates a unique identity, not being beholden to past series, yet building a path towards a better world. I personally like season 2 more just because of there being ton more of character arcs in that season and the fact that half had the better designs makes that memorable.

If you're going into season 1 expecting a good final villain, go watch season 2 or even the movie. Alejandro Corner is the most forgettable Gundam villain ever. He doesn't even become a "badguy" until the last 5 episodes. The ELS from the god damn movie had more uniqueness and personality to them then this fucker. And that movie was 2 hours. I used to think that the Innovades from season 2 were generic villains until I remembered this guy.

I watched episodes 2 and 3 of Marvels Disk wars.
I like how the little boy took down Loki.
I also like how the characters say English sentences every once in a while.

Klonoahedgehog · 05-24-2014, 11:11 PM

Disk wars episode 5.
I freaking love this Thor design.
Something tells me the pacing of this show is gonna be really slow.It's episode 5 and only now is the second member of the group is actually doing something.

Son of a bitch... Just watched Nobunaga The Fool 20.

WHAT IS WITH JAPAN'S OBSESSION OVER MAKING KING ARTHUR FEMALE!?!?!

Powerman293 · 05-26-2014, 12:21 PM

Should I watch After War Gundam X? Is it good or not?

Dr Kain · 05-26-2014, 02:02 PM

I have never watched X, but I have heard it was not that good. There is a reason it was canned after 30 something episodes. On the other hand, it is only 30 something episodes, so you wouldn't be spending as much time with it as you would with other Gundam series.
