"Who I am and what I want are a secret."

Yes, this will be a post of my review on this particular anime, Gundam 00. To be precise, I was never really a big fan of the Gundam series. That is, until this beautiful lady appeared before me:

Yes, it's Lacus Clyne, everyone. =P Yes, yes, I know, you all have heard about her and how much I talk about her, yada yada. Unfortunately, she appeared in a Gundam series that I slowly came to hate as time goes by. A Gundam series that goes by the name...Gundam SEED.

Oh, no, don't get me wrong. I like the idea in Gundam SEED. Yea, the world divided into two, Coordinators (genetically enhanced humans, but for some reason, I feel like calling them Genome Soldiers. They can be stupid sometimes =P) and Naturals (pure-bred human being), and the war that tore them apart. Then some Coordinator kid (Kira Yamato, asshole) got thrown into the world of battle, and then realised that he was actually...oh, fine, who'd be reading this post anyway.

Well, as I was saying, Gundam SEED plot line IS nice. HOWEVER, it's only the 1st Gundam SEED series that is all right. Its sequel, Gundam SEED Destiny, is shit.

At least they changed the main character. Shinn Asuka. A worse-r main character, but heck. A fresh start for a new season!


...

Wipe that silly smile off your face, you emo. You're suppose to cry and scream!!

How nice. 8)

Angst, screamos, anguish, sadness, stupidity...

Last but not least, the biggest problem:

THE RETURN OF KIRA YAMATO, THE GOD-MODE-ER. gently caress HIM. 8(

Right, I digress, yet again.

As I was saying, I was disappointed with Gundam SEED Destiny and felt like ditching Gundam forever (since I found new love from Code Geass, produced by the same studio that did Gundam SEED and perhaps other Gundam shows).

Don't you just love that smirk from Lelouch? *a big Code Geass fan* =3

But Gundam took a different turn and decided to remake its old shows. Starting with Gundam 00, the first of the first. I think.


Same kind of storyline, I noticed. War. Yes, without war, there will be no Gundam shows. Lol~ Our main character's on the far left side, Setsuna F. Seiei. And no, don't ask me what that F stands for...*curses*.

It's not too bad, and it had a nice first episode scene. The opening song differs greatly from other Gundam openings, namely, Gundam SEED. Yes, it ditched those wacky techno from T.M. Revolution for good and hired L'arc~En~Ciel to do the opening. Rock-ish tunes and the ending is rock-ish as well. Animation is smooth and beautiful (unlike Gundam SEED, can't be blamed, they're pretty old, but heck. I can tell the dif between really-nice-fighting-scenes and copy-paste-fighting-scenes), somewhat similar to Code Geass's animation (of course, it's from the same studio! LOL~).

The story is not that clear to me yet. I mean, I just finished episode one, and you can't really tell much from just watching episode one. All I know is that the Gundam in this series are considered as...well...godly. And then there's this dude with a walking cane who announced to everyone else that he is the one controlling the Gundams and that he represents, no- IS the Celestial Being.

Lol. Talk about power. Calling himself that is just...wow. Then again, they were in a world where Gundams are rare mobile suits and none of their inventions can reach up to the Gundams level of efficiency.

As you proceed on, you'll see more characters being introduced. And a dude who keeps saying "Hallelujah,".

O____O

And his name is Allelujah.

...

We'll skip that.

Overall, it's not too bad. I don't have high hopes for this anime, but I'm somewhat expecting it to be better than the others. I mean, it's new and all, it SHOULD be better. I look forward to see more episodes!

More talking-to-myself-even-though-there's-someone-next-to-me-who-would-be-able-to-hear-my-evil-plans!

More Gundams!

More war!

More powers!

And...(this I predict, will ALWAYS appear in every Gundam series)

more emo moments.

*sob*

MAKE ME PROUD, GUNDAM OO!!
