I’m not a massive Gundam fan, what with all the violence and destruction… I prefer the comedy or fantasy type Anime (I’m a girl after all). But Mobile Suit Gundam 00 was just there for my viewing pleasure, and I remember Gundam SEED wasn’t so bad to watch… even if I have forgotten most of it…
What I like most about Anime is that there are no limits. Anything and everything is possible. Completely up to your imagination. All the characters look fantastic no matter the situation. Even when they have a massive scar on their face like Sergei Smirnov and Graham Acre from Gundam 00.
The best thing about Gundam 00 is probably the fact that it’s only 2 seasons. Although they could have very easily stretched it out, they kept it short and sweet 
haHa! I think maybe the huge gap between watching Anime (it must be a few years since my last Anime fix!) has made a difference because I truly enjoyed Gundam 00, and that’s saying something! I find it hard for me to like 2D stuff nowadays!
oH! And I highly recommend the song they play at the end of each Gundam 00 episode in Season 2 called “Trust You” by Yuna Ito~!
So for those of you who don’t know, here’s the story for Gundam 00:
The year is 2307 A.D. Although fossil fuels have been depleted, humanity has obtained a new source of energy to replace them, in the form of a large-scale solar power generation system based on three huge orbital elevators. However, the benefits of this system are available only to a handful of major powers and their allies…..
….In this world of never-ending conflict, a private armed organization appears, dedicated to the elimination of war through armed force. Its name is Celestial Being, and it is in possession of “Gundam” mobile suits. With these Gundams, it begins armed intervention into all acts of war.
Yeah it’s another ‘war in space’ series… I guess I couldn’t get enough of BSG? haHa! Well at least we’re not dealing with AI this time around. Again the main issue is something we can relate to off-screen… Depletion of world resources is something which has been on the agenda for a while now, and war over resources is something we see everyday.
hrmm… the more I think about it, the more alike Gundam 00 and BSG are! Both are set in space, both about war and has lots of blood and things blowing up, both involve machines, the Cylons are like the innovators, both revolve around major issues we have today.
Eitherway I’ll be keeping my eye out for the Gundam Movie in 2010~
