By the way Burke, if you have not seen it already, you should try watching Macross Frontier. It's the best Macross has to offer since SDF Macross. It's on my list of stuff to watch, indeed. :) P.S. Burke, have you seen Gunpla Builders yet? Yup, I just watched it a couple of days ago, actually, that...

Okay, I'm back for round 2 on discussing the Gundam 00 movie. I read that horrible, horrible "review" on Anime News Network, I listened to episode 70 of Gundamn! with their movie review this morning, and I just finished a much more "relaxed" 2nd viewing of the movie this afternoo...

I decided to say screw it to spoilers and read through Burke's comments on the movie...and, now I'm hesitating to move onto it. TBH, the TV series' ending really was a great note to end it on and what I understand of the movie just seems so...I don't know. As different a direction 00 S2 was from 00...

Thanks for pointing me to that episode of Gundamn!, folks. I have it downloaded and I'll listen to it tomorrow. I may give the movie a 2nd viewing here in the next day or two, try to pay more attention and see if I can absorb it better. I think my brain may have been partially paralyzed by all the e...

SPOILER WARNING! SPOILER WARNING! SPOILER WARNING! (This means you, LightningCount. :P ) Since it looks like the discussion on the 00 TV series has pretty much run its course for everyone, here my review and comments for Gundam 00 the Movie: A Wakening of the Trailblazer. This thread is spoilerific,...

SonicSP, I gotta say, your analysis of Graham and his Mr. Bushido personality, and comparing him to Setsuna, is explained really well, and is giving me some things to think about. Next time I watch this series, I'll definitely be looking at Graham in a different light, I think.

New tone for the Movie, hm? Sounds interesting. I think it's too late to overturn some of my issues with the TV series, so the best I'm hoping from it is: A.) Some good character wrap-up and winks, especially with Graham. (give him his dues!) B.) Some visceral action with beautiful animation. C.) I...

Allelujah's past, present AND future are tied to Marie Parcafy/Soma Peries The story of these two seemed to stall out and get kind of by-rote once they had their island adventure. I don't know, I just felt like they weren't as involved in the series after that point and that the writers struggled t...

At last, I finished watching Season 2 Episodes 21 thru 25 last night. I have to confess that synopsizing in detail is quite a chore, especially after doing this for 3 full-length shows over the last several weeks. So instead, I'm just going to do a general round-up of my thoughts and feelings on the...

Oops, wrong thread. Post deleted.

Here's five more episodes for my comments and review, Season 2 Episodes 16 thru 20! Setsuna in the 00 Raiser faces off against Graham in his Masurao, which has kicked on its "secret weapon" Trans-Am mode. He blitzes the 00, but Setsuna turns on his own TA mode and does the awesome teleport...

Oh, believe me, I eat this stuff up! Hence part of my love of Wing. I think 00 has it, yes, but it was more significant in Season 1 than 2...and even then, some of the words of people like Durandal, Rau, Heine, etc just can't be beat in most of 00. Sometimes 00 seems more "to the point" a...

And here we go with Season 2 Episodes 11 thru 15! Tieria finally fesses up to his teammates about his knowledge of the Innovators. I'm surprised they didn't get too upset with him for waiting to tell him about the Innovators. But he's "one of the family," so they're sticking by him. Good t...

I plan to soon, after I wrap up my run through 00. So much Gundam to watch, so little time. But when I do I'll drop back into this thread to discuss anything from them that jumps out at me.

Oh, do you want to be really impressed? Tieria's "woman" voice from the party episode was provided by...Hiroshi Kamiya, his regular voice actor. Apparently being able to pull off a convincing female voice is a talent of his. Well, _I_ was convinced! :) Its not that complicated. She studie...

Another busy day for me, but I'm finally here with my comments and review for Season 2 Episodes 6 thru 10. :) The massacre at the Katharon base could've been a lot worse. Fortunately Shirin and Klaus and the orphan kids, and quite a few others, survived. Saji comes back and is horrified by what happ...

Burke: Given when our last posts were, it seems we may have been ships passing in the night a page back on #6. You indirectly answered my questions about the Lyle/Ali deal through another, but what do you think of the new setup's vibe/organization, the potential use of Lyle in Season 1, my notes on...

Well, since you've been plowing through so much Gundam so fast, it doesn't surprise me that some details get lost in the shuffle. Yup, my brain is leaking. :P Oh, so let me get this straight. Orb is fine with its neutrality and watching as the world burns, but Saji has the wrong view of the world f...

*smacks self in head* Yes. Yes, I did. *fixes post* Thanks for reminding me.

Here we go, Episodes 1 thru 5 of Gundam 00 Season 2! I'm trying really, really hard not to go into too many synopsis-like detail, just commenting on certain things and giving my impressions. So, here's hoping for a not-wall of text. :P 4 years after Season 1, the Earth Federation is moving right alo...
