Watched the first episode, so far, I think it seems like it's a promising gundam series...

Anyways, I noticed that the recent gundam series are like borrowing concepts from past gundam eras (ie. Gundam Z/ZZ was somehow borrowed/adapted by Gundam Seed:Destiny, judging from the mecha concepts and other elements in the series that you could totally miss)
From what Gundam era do you think Gundam 00 is rooted from?

Some say it's following the footsteps of Gundam Wing (the concept of a non-allied private army bent on ending wars by posing it's own war against war; fighting fire with fire, so to speak)
Anyways, it's a pretty good start for this new series

[KnightProtector]

For now, it indeed looks pretty much like Wing. But in this case, the main hero seems to be less irritating to me. And less children this time, thank God... I am fed up with pilot brats behaving like they know everything.

Yeah, I hated Shinn almost as much as i hated Fray but of course Fray gets more hate

i got a cold shiver when i found out Tieria Erde is a guy (the Gundam Virtue purple hair ).

[KnightProtector]

Yeah... If he at least had less feminine haircut... 'Cause I kinda like his outfit

I would prefer there to be less kids... oh well... setsuna is there...

[KnightProtector]

The kids are just prodigies for instrumental use Like in Evangelion

Liked the 2nd episode. Awaiting the escalation of hatred. They play on the greatest EMO dream - to turn the people's hate against themselves. To be so powerful, that they could destroy everything they perceive as bad or evil. And at the same time not caring whether they are liked. This is yet another EMO series, but Code Geass has shown that this is the strength of anime. I like it.

I don't really like the story overall. I mean, their main objective is to "stop all wars" by starting a war? =\ But I really liked that orange Gundam, it reminded me a lot of Zeta.

[KnightProtector]

Not really. They're using the "shock therapy". As the guy from the Union said, they contradict themselves by doing so. Stopping wars by force. But still. I like the idea. It's good for movies. Lots of killing of mean politicians, stupid soldiers and stuff

[LvB]

I guess I'm just too used to the old Gundam series where it was always Earth vs Colonies, AEUG vs Titans, etc... BTW, what day does it air?

[KnightProtector]

I dunno myself. I think that on Saturdays as on Sundays I usually get the access to the fresh subbed episodes already.

[GeN_GiM]

I think it airs Sundays, as wiki says, around 9~10 am

Really seeing resemblance of gundam X, gundam wing, gundam Z~ZZ...a lot of presence and elements from these gundam eras are showing up so far

Maybe this gundam 00 will be a one big editorial section of the gundam franchise where they would be kind of inferring what the future holds for us judging from the political and economical status of the world
("We are not moving for charity, we go to war to protect our country and our profits" --- Union President, episode 2)

[Nataku]

I think the Gundam Pilots are being used for a bigger scheme or something

The cliffhanger at the end of episode 2 was decent ~ Atleast a good fight for next week's episode

Yup, the themes on terrorism and war, and the question of moral ethics vs. economy and country's natural egocentrism do appear often in mangas, animes and Japanese cinematography recently. And they do bear the direct connotation to the Middle East conflict.

[GeN_GiM]

Somehow, I think Exia and Wing kind of look alike, given the head shape and the chest illuminator piece they both have, gundam wing with no...wings

Looking at how innovative these gundams look right now, I can't wait for the 2nd phase of these mobile suits... maybe that's when the true Gundam 00 will appear.
