Uh. Now reading what Omni said about the character at the end possibly not being Tieria makes things 15times more confusing

Also I’m SICK of Wang saying the same goddamn thing it’s always:
“The world is changing” or somethingmer other.

If Sergei or Soma had died I would have been really Fing mad. And yeah good father/daughter relationship here. Soma finally ignores her want to fight and gives a nice conclusion on their side.

I think they put way too much in that last ending bit.
we have

-Libbon–whatever and his “innovators”
-we see Graham with a mask for 5 seconds and then Ali sluging a drink for 5 seconds
-Tieria (longer hair) and Felt who has radically changed her hairstyle
-and then we hear about 0 Gundam and GASP 00 Gundam!

and I don’t get the world uniting like that after 4 years.

and on the ending fights…They weren’t bad at all.
And so. Gundam 00 is OKAY!

@IKnight: No it really did have at least 3 bloggers who were blatantly biased against it and wouldn’t give it a chance. Then again the Manatees didn’t really blog it so much as ramble about it so nobody paid it much mind unless they were in the same camp as the bashers. Luckily most people saw through this blatant attempt to derail the show coming from some people and while it’s far from the greatest anime story ever told or even the greatest Gundam series, it’s still such a fun show with interesting characters that it struck a chord with a lot of people like Code Geass did.

I’m glad most people were able to ignore the Manatees after all and make up their own minds about the series.

I must say, while this certainly isn’t the best Gundam I’ve seen, it’s a massive improvement on Destiny; comparing the two is like putting the RX-78 up against Exia. I also thought that 00 got a pretty rough ride from the otakusphere, but then as I liked it maybe that’s just my perception.

Exia vs. Albatore and (H)Allelujah vs. WildBear&Loli were definitely the MS-porn fights of this episode. Sadly the GN Flag was relegating to being Exia’s opponent in the talky fight. Still, such is life.

Since when did Gundam 00 have no plot? And not nearly as epic as it should’ve been? Seriously, what the F. No, it wasn’t perfect obviously but it was cracking good entertainment.

I was going to go nucking futz if they had killed of Graham. I agree that he’s become more of a Gato than a Char, but Gato is still a badass template to be held up to. Maybe he’ll come back with a proper MA that actually looks half good. Neue Ziel redux anyone?
Curious as to what Saji is doing in space. I hope he’s up there plotting revenge, but then again he’ll some how fall in love with Nena.
Also, I’m hoping that Sunrise will really get back to it’s roots and give us a freaking colony drop finally.
And what the hell ever happend to Haro?

This series disappointed me honestly. In my opinion, its not anywhere nearly as epic as it should’ve been. I will admit that it entertained me, much more than SEED did, but if the second season is just more sloppy story telling with no plot whatsoever like this season was, I’m not really going to be able to watch it.

While passable, I think this show is the epitome of wasted potential.

Crazy mask, light in the distance, AND new gundam cliff hanger???

Talk about epic. Gundam 00 indeed.
