Done with S1

The 1st half was a let down. I really disliked Celestial Being since they're bunch of unserious happy go lucky amateur playing vigilante. There's a lot of similarity with Gundam Wing and I watched 00 immediately after I finished Wing, so I can't help but comparing them and feeling that 00 is just a worse version of it. Gundam Meisters suck since they're not only incompetent but also clueless about what they're doing, a complete opposite of Wing's Gundam Pilots who were actual extremely competent super soldiers. I mean, I know they were written like that on purpose, but it's still very uninteresting to watch.

Fortunately it got good after GN-X got introduced. The stake was there and there were tons of actual death, although there were some copout like with Ali and Lockon (Neil). They both should've stayed dead, but I guess the writer wanted to force and extend their rivalry in the 2nd season. Lame. But still better than Wing where no one ever fucking dies.

Looking forward to Season 2 with super saiyan robots, alien fuckery and of course my favorite mech from 00: Susanowo in action.

Lockon S2 is actually a different character that Lockon S1 and I don't mean "lol twins". They are different people that started in the same place but act differently, I haven't understood why people ignore that when they talk about the issues with S2.

Veda picked for loyalty to/compatibility with CB's goals over piloting skill. Plus IIRC, Ribbons rigged the pilot selection so Setsuna would get a slot after seeing him gaze at the 0 Gundam in awe.

I think this is one of my favourite bits of stock footage ever, just because of how goofy it is while still presenting the GN-Xs as a threat.

Because Lyle is incredibly boring with zero stakes in the plot. He does nothing all series and then gets an incredibly forced quickly resolved plot with Anew. In fact, most of the cast in S2 are nothing characters. The show becomes by the numbers in S2 and they didn't know what to do with most of the characters so they just sit around.

Done with Gundam 00

Pretty good. I’d say its greatest strength is its abundance of important side-characters, so it’s easy to set up rivalries and dramatic death scenes. The plot is straight forward, clear and coherent without any cryptic pretentiousness like some other Gundam series have.
I really like the mecha design and I ended up liking the mobs like Flag, Brave and Arche more than the main Gundams. It’s unfortunate that Exia and its evolutions/variants are so popular that Bandai keeps milking them instead of making other 00 stuff.

Some things I disliked:
1. What’s the point of Marina? I can’t even hate her because she’s just invisible
2. Lyle Dylandy is such a cheap copout. They wanted to kill Lockon, but still wanted his presence and personality in the story, so they created his twin out of nowhere who’s exactly like Neil in literally every single aspect. I read somewhere that Feldt should’ve replaced Lockon as Gundam Meister. I think that’s a good idea.
3. Too much focus on Ribbons shenanigan. It sucks that CB is the only faction that's even aware of their existence while the Feds were clueless good goys until the very end.
4. The ending sucks. We still have the exact same totalitarian world government, but apparently the peace is everlasting now because uhh... Innovators.
5. Lack of content diversity. our heroes are always together and fight a similarly choreographed Gundam battle every single episode. I guess most Gundam series are like this. Wing is just special with so much independent action, infiltration missions and treating their mech like socks.

Overall, I enjoyed Wing more, but 00's final battle and climax (S2) are much, much better.
Movie isn’t bad, but meh. It’s hilarious that they were trying to force Feldt x Setsuna when they never even interacted before lol.

Did we watch the same show? While not at the degree of UC, 00 has a lot of cryptic bullshit: Innovators, secret societies, etc.
And stop talking like an AI output. That whole paragraph is embarrassing.

> What’s the point of Marina?
Designated onahole for the protagonist, same as Linina in Wing or those two in IBO. It's a thing that happens all the fucking time in anime. See, these fucking writers can't help themselves to insert worthless romance subplots.

>so they created his twin out of nowhere
At least Lyle was foreshadowed in season 1. The issue here was execution (ie. he's an exact OEM replacement for Neil, with no character of his own).

>the exact same totalitarian world government
Stop using terms you don't know the meaning of.

Also, word of advice: there's more to mecha than fucking Gundam. Watch literally anything outside the franchise.

Same thing when tobacco companies had studies showing how smoking causes lung cancer for decades & kept silent because they didn't want to stop selling the product that could cause their customers to bankrupt themselves paying for healthcare & die.

00 legitimately works better as a show if you treat Season 1 as a standalone work and ignore the existence of Season 2 or Awakening of Trailblazer, only real downside is that it renders all the scenes involving the princess(whose name I can't remember because of how little she matters) completely pointless instead of just merely mostly pointless, but I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to edit most of her scenes out

The thing about 00 is that the entire thing was written with the aliens in mind. Mizushima has been open about this. That's why it's "okay" that CB fucks up a peaceful world with very little violence and turns it into a dictatorship under martial law, because if they hadn't done that then the aylmaos would have killed them all because there would have been no Innovators to communicate with them.

It's not that little violence. They're just in something of a lull and even that's just in terms of large-scale conflict. Plenty of unpleasantness going on at smaller ones.

Wrong. The point of 00 is that it's identical to our present. That's why all the interventions occur in third world shitholes. Mizushima has talked about this too. He also thinks that 00 "successfully predicted" the next 18 years, lmao.

And Sergei's wife being dead. And Azadistan's recent history and Setsuna's backstory. And everyone having combat experienced aces. But no, I'm sure it's been peaceful and idyllic everywhere. Just like the 90s and 00s and 10s were in real life.

A dead wife? In an anime? that's crazy.
Mizushima has said that the middle east in 00 is a shithole because it's always going to be ashithole - he's quite clear that muh solar wars have nothing to do with it, he just doesn't think highly of arabs.
It's been an even longer stretch of time than muh nineties since there was a war in the west, kiddo.

Petrol works better than pretty much anything else. Solar is shit. Wind is shit. Water is dependent on a source so it's restricted by location.

Then why PV installations increase year after year? Here's a hint: because they need very little maintenance afterwards. In case you were not aware, only a fraction of the world's electricity is generated by petroleum derivatives (less than 2%).

This isn't the 1970s anymore, Ampersand Imbecile. The biggest crude oil producer today is the US. OPEC is not the juggernaut it was back then, to the extent they have to agree on production quotas with Russia in order to keep the price competitive.

nice trilogy, especially the film, as it explores themes we are already familiar with but from a more 21st-century perspective (and its contemporary conflicts), making them feel both fresh and fundamental. Setsuna, Graham, Tieria, Saji, and Marina are great characters who express individuality while also contributing to, developing, and adding nuance to the underlying themes.
The sci-fi elements are top notch, allowing for moral nuances, parallels with our reality, and depth to the themes.

The antagonists are quite mediocre (except for those in the film); they are useful from a thematic point of view but are never interesting characters in their own right. I liked the final battle of the second season, though.

The flaws are things that one can easily separate from the whole. For example, the first 5 episodes are somewhat boring, the mid-season battle in the first season is really stupid (they sent them to their deaths, lmao), the aforementioned antagonists, and the existence of characters like Lyle Dylandy, his satellite character, and Felt.

Kenji Kawai fucking rocks, and the OPs and EDs are also great. I really like Prototype and Tomorrow

>1. What’s the point of Marina? I can’t even hate her because she’s just invisible
she is a maternal figure who represents the other side of the coin from Setsuna. She isn't willing to kill and can't really understand people on the same level as an Innovator, but she is can do the same as us, what we truly need to do, to someday become a innovator. we can try to understand us, not all of us can (or should) change the future with force, event in extreme situacions, we can try to change our reality without spilling blood. The attempt is really what we need.

And obviously, it's an easy ship, lol. I really liked the movie epilogue tho

when you watch 00 with the context of it constantly shitting on seed, you get a better idea for the meta.

00 is about being an actual AU gundam show, with fucking aliens and shit, set in "our" earth, etc. the final battle being setsuna vs rx-78 is a meta commentary on WE WILL MAKE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE GUNDAM, AND IT WONT JUST BE ANOTHER RETELLING/COPY. the fact that ribbons is voiced by amuro, making him the villain, is even better.

if 00 is the most like any gundam show, it's wing, another AU show. 00 takes very, very few tropes from 0079, probably the least of any gundam series.

Buddy, if you didn't notice the hypocrisy from episode one, I don't know what to tell you. The entire setup for the plot is that people are gonna end war by waging war on everyone that tries to do war. They're not subtle about being hypocrites, it's literally part of the central theme how hypocritical the whole thing is.
