[Anime] Mobile Suit Gundam 00

The characters do look original though. What I hated the most about seed (other than the boring story) was that all the characters looked too sharp and colorful for my taste. First a new Macross and now a new Gundam anime. I'm up for it as long as it doesn't turn out hideous like seed.

Other than that, it looks like it takes place 2307 but I got confused since it said double 00. So i assume it'll take place somewhere during the Universal Century timeline. Honestly I find the UC gundams more dramatic and crazy the AU series' of Gundams. They didn't suck though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think ANN mentioned that the timeline will take place during our century. Dunno why cause I kinda prefer the whole cruelty behind the UC series but oh well. I can always give this new feel a chance. whoa I just noticed Yadate and Tomino aren't part of this nor mentioned by anyone.


And thanks for the info on the air date, DT. There are too many animes to catch up on and I don't even have the time for them @.@.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow. I see alot of simlarities in these gundams. They look great.

Gundam Exia (Setsuna's) - A variation of the Original Gundam piloted by Amuro Ray(Rei)

Gundam Dynames (Lockon) - Looks like a wimpy version of the Gundam Leopard (Robi Roy) without it's Gatling Gun.Still I want to see it in action.

Gundam Kyrios (Allelujah) - Looks like it's own design but it reminds me of the Wing Gundam (Heero Yui) with a few touch ups and the obvious orange color ^^.

Gundam Virtue (Tieria) - I think I'm going to like this gundam the most . It's a cross between Duo Maxwell's first Deathscythe Gundam and Anavel Gato's (Gundam 0083) Gundam Physalis.

Yeah I'm definately checking this out. SEED never caught my eye like the other Gundam animes. Double-0 somehow succeeds in that and that is an Important part of gundam. Now to worry about the story.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The way I see it, anything is better than SEED.

- Music : The opening was done by L'arc en Ciel which is pretty awesome since I haven't heard from them for a hot minute. It reminds me of zeta gundam op 2. Ending theme isn't bad at all. As for the bgm, it's proof enough that I'll have something original to listen to. Who's responsible? Kenji Kawai .

- The first minute starts you off with a little boy who's fighting all alone against the enemy until a gundam shows up and of course, predict the obvious. What's going to bother me is that annoying brat (you'll see).

- As far as design goes, I find it more different than SEED's since each character don't share huge eyes but a few female characters. Not a bad thing! ;p


In short : I like it so far. You be the judge

Gundam00 Episode 1 - Celestial Being!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Spoiler:

The main character, even in the first episode, is shaping up to be another crazy emo kid who we will all wind up hating, just like the kid from Seed Destiny

I thought Shin from SDestiny would fit the same description only Setsuna didn't get into the cockpit like he did in the first episode (i think). Did you notice Setsuna's Gundam looked a little like the original Gundam from a far away distance?

Quote:

Also, I'm sure this has been brought up before, but whats with some of the parallels I'm seeing between Gundam 00 and FMP? Main characters were both soldiers at a young age. Both series have a light-hearted sniper on their respective teams. And both belong to a non-aligned private army. And some would argue that new propulsion system on the Exia draws some comparison to the Lambda Driver. Who knows, maybe these are just things that a very commonplace and it just so happened that Gundam 00 put them all together.

So I'm not the only one who felt the same way about it. >.>;. Maybe a few guys from the FMP group are behind this. Gundam Exia reminds me of Turn a Gundam with all that gay aura sprouting from it's back.


Also. Good to see a gundam (I think it was Dynames) attacking from below! Haven't seen one since 08th MS Team's Eledore

I was speaking idiomatically.

Also did anyone else think that the gundam in the opening scene flying there in that pose and with that sparkly crap flying out of its back look absolutely ridiculous?

Yea, no clue is to when it's coming out. So I'm pressuring myself to not watch the 2nd raid until further notice on the 3rd season ;p.


As for the sparkly aura shit coming out of it's back. It's no different than Turn A Gundam's. seriously ;p.

Go to the 50th mark. A solid opening but I couldn't finish the series.. Those were the days though. Bandai pretty much sucks for not gaining license to this or other shows like Gundam X.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Any character who holds Haro wins the popularity contest .

FELIPE NO

Now just waiting for Mendoi-Conclave's episode 2!!

little off topic but

I would usually watch the HD versions in my ps3 and it looks a helluva lot better there (44" hdtv) than my monitor ( HP 22" widescreen). Either way, I think I need a new video card cause it freezes for 2 seconds then comes back and I don't want to force it =/. So the ones I download from are a noname group who provides it as an mp4 (still hd quality with no fuzzy pixels or anything). Can mkv files work in ps3's as well? If you have one that is ^^;

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Looks like those fansubbers turned their mp4's to mkv and now .avi . Anyway I can convert .avi to mp4?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
