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.
