Gundam 00, your thoughts
i actually think it's well planned out... the gundam are alot higher tech then the mass produced mobile suits but they are tie able (if not defeatable, by good plots and good tactics...
i like the fast paced battles...but the one thing i miss (although it's cliche) is some sort of masked person XD
as well the only characters i don't get are the two students...

Re: Gundam 00, your thoughts
It's not my favorite Gundam, in fact it's one of my least favorite. I am normally a huge Gundam fan but for some readon it just didn't click to me.

Re: Gundam 00, your thoughts
It's still Wing 2.0, however this seems better thought out than Gundam Wing was. Celestial Being has or had a backer with money to set up the operation, the pilots are trained to work together from the start. And while the Gundams are super suits Graham Acker seems to be able to deal with them with a modified suit. And Colonel Serge has a good tactical mind. It's low on philosophical non-sense.
But to stop war by intervening as they do still seems an unlikely solution. It will only breed more hatred, at them.
This is still an improvement over Gundam Wing. It has earned a further look.

I'm starting to like it quite a bit. It seems to be getting better and better. And it also helps that it has some fantastic and unique mech designs. I love Flags

Re: Gundam 00, your thoughts
The point of a Gundam as explained by Yoshiyuki Tomino (the original creator) is this: the name is broken down into 2 segments "gun" and "dam" a Gundam is a weapon (gun) that stops everything (like a dam to water) I think that Gundam 00 fails to uphold the name "Gundam" if they are not far superior to the mass produced mobile suits then it defeats the point of calling it a "Gundam".
Over all I don't really care for this series.

Re: Gundam 00, your thoughts
The series has taken a dramatic turn for the interesting in the most recent episodes. The introduction of New Gundam Meisters who and the somewhat odd revelation that these gundams ; odd indeed.

Re: Gundam 00, your thoughts
Though you quote Tomino, this line already shows you know nothing about Tomino's shows. The Gundam was frequently outclassed by other mobile suits such as the Gelgoog later in Gundam 0079, and in Zeta Gundam, the Gundam Mk II was easily outclassed by most Titan variable transformation suits. In Victory Gundam, the V Gundam itself is on an even par with most Zanscare suits, but is nowhere near superior to them. If Tomino himself doesn't adhere to these rules, then why should OO?Aoi Sakuraba wrote: I think that Gundam 00 fails to uphold the name "Gundam" if they are not far superior to the mass produced mobile suits then it defeats the point of calling it a "Gundam".

Although even the show does fulfill your requirements. 00 definitely shows that they are far superior to the mass produced suits. Performance wise and armor wise, the 00 Gundams are insanely overpowered when compared to the standard mobile suits. Considering that they had 4 units up against 836 mobile suits under a constant barrage for several straight hours, the fact that they were still intact itself is a testament to their armoring and durability. A standard mobile suit would have trouble standing up to a single missile or beam, let alone hundreds over the span of several hours.
Re: Gundam 00, your thoughts
Yes, Graham is turning to be the popular character of the series, fans every where are debating as to whether he is a Char or not. Maybe Graham should have been a Gundam pilot instead?

Re: Gundam 00, your thoughts
The series is ok in my opinion, I don't really like the characters as much as in the other series I've seen ,but other than that I think it's pretty good.

He has some Char characteristics, but not quite enough yet. Maybe if he disappears and comes back with a mask or something.Duuz wrote:Yes, Graham is turning to be the popular character of the series, fans every where are debating as to whether he is a Char or not.

And I would be most upset if Graham gets a Gundam. I've always been annoyed by how both protagonists and antagonists NEED THEIR GUNDAMS. What ever happened to the Gelgoogs and other powerful antagonist suits that weren't Gundams? And considering his feelings towards his own mobile suit, its more likely that he would get a GN Drive enhanced Union Flag.

Re: Gundam 00, your thoughts
Well since Graham vowed to defeat the gundams in his Flag, I doubt he'll get a gundam.

Re: Gundam 00, your thoughts
well guys i haven't posted in a while and after watching the last ep of season 1 i'm coming back on to post my view on gundam...
"He has some Char characteristics, but not quite enough yet. Maybe if he disappears and comes back with a mask or something."
...lol...
well I'm gonna have Code Geass II to watch while i wait for the next Season of 00, but can't wait anyway ^_^... hoping for an even more intense plot line next season

graham and setsuna blindly owned each other (they both lost their visual sensors...their heads)...and he got a refreshing new mask...at least it doesn't cover his eyes and is white -.-.... looks more like a red oni mask
Spoiler

my comments on the time skip: I'm wondering who the brown haired guy who took a drank was (I'm thinking setsuna)... I'm just kinda surprised it's Tieria that is the only one who "lives"... most likely some other pilot's lived... and corner got betrayed by his "loyal" servant...and next season will more than likely feature a conflict between CB, the androids, and the EF.
