Notes on Gundam 00 Second Season
1. Needs a snappier title than Gundam 00 Second Season. G00SS is not a viable alternative.
2. I’m not completely sure if I’m watching a new gundam or just rewatching Zeta. A-Laws (it’s a pun, get it?) as fascist military? Check. Louis as an artificial newtype? Check. Can’t wait to see her Rosamia impression.
3. G00 apparently got a musical upgrade for the new season, cause all of the sudden the soundtrack kicks ass. The battle themes here were perfect, or I’m just a sucker for ominous choirs.
4. Pirate Exia is extremely badass. All gundam need tattered cloaks that flap in space. The gundam head on the back of the Seravee makes no sense to me, as all I can think of is the Devil Gundam.
5. Ribbons is even gayer. I don’t think that’s an actual surprise though.
6. Embarrassed teenage Soma is adorable, though her and Papa Bear have some weird vibes going on. Smirnov’s son also needs a good bear slap. Guy already sounds like a jerk, though he is an A-law.
7. New OP is also very good. Like the mixture of scenes from the past and future. Looks to promise a lot of good action and intrigue. This first episode was a rock solid start, so I hope they can keep the pace from here.
soundtrack is awesome this time around

1. Double-oh Destiny? No, wait, forget I said that.
4. Probably the closest we’ll come to delicious animated Crossbone.

Though I never watched Seed or Destiny…all I can think of Louise now is “We have our new Stella!”
The actiuon was so great that I could hardly focus on the music. I will watch those battle scenes.
The new OP is so damn fast. Seriously. I think it may be the fastest OP I have ever seen.

2. As long as it even slightly improves on some of Zeta’s flaws and ends on a very different note, which shouldn’t be too hard to do, I can deal with that.
3. I liked the first season’s OST(s), but this one seems better so far, or at least the few tracks we’ve heard.
7. I’m fairly impressed, but we’ll see.
