"Egotistical hard ass" "Smooth talker" "Mental patient" "Kid with so much EDGE"
Probably the best descriptions for these boys that I've ever heard of 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣im sick of this
He's not wrong though.
This makes me happy, 00 Gundam was my intro into Gundam.
Not my first Gundam but 00's politics about being a 'proper' World Police certainly made it my favorite.
the one time a kurdish person is a Protagonist in an anime
I think it was for many of us, it was the first one I entirely watched for me tho
same
parker maisterra Same here. I love that intro 😄
Recently rewatched this show and it's so much better than i remembered. I picked up some new detail about characters for example how Feldt who i thought was big nothing burger is actually incredibly courageous in the hardest moments. Lyle who i thought was just Lockon replacement for marketing reasons has some of the show's most badass moments and his Anew substory was genuinely heartwrecking for me. Tieria's amazing development into a real human, Graham's descent into madness and redemption, Saji's and his tribulations. All around amazing stuff.
A great reference point for Tieria's maturity is his reaction to Lyle's rage at Anew's death.
You can tell he empathizes, but also regrets his beating of Setsuna when Neil died.
"easier to identify with" THAT is why i love gundam 00. Even though this is set in the far future, it is closer to our society than other gundam shows. I especially love the part in the movie ,before setsuna leaves to go to the ELS world, where he says "we all just want to live". That just resonates with me on a human and emotional level because despite our differences, its a solid fact and it honestly makes me tear up.
Gundam 00 takes place in UC 200 aka victory era. As 00 takes place in the 24th century.
Yeah. The idea of space Nazism is just so dumb.
Even more so than his backstory? When he told neena that shitty guy with beard tricks him and many children in a religious cult much like ISIL and he kills the people he considers family?. I dont know how he could still manage to be almost normal function after that and not in mental insitution.
@@nfspbarrister5681 Well when you see a giant floating mecha in the sky at age 8, you might be somewhat inspired to carry on.
The opening song is still one of the best after all these years.
*songs (forgot ash like snow)
To each his own.
I agree with you brother.
I love all 4 OPs, I'm actually struggling to think of any anime (not counting long-runners like Naruto, One Piece, etc.) where I loved 4 OPs in a row a lot. Ash Like Snow is my favorite of the 4 personally.
The ending themes were good as well.
Oh lord that 00 opening sequence. God I haven't heard it in forever and it still gives me goosebumps when it came up!
I am the trenches with you buddy. I've won many a game of mortal kombat, with this and heat guy j's opening.
Go to MC channel she has the Gundam 00 theme song
Gundam 00 is a goddamn masterpiece. From the soundtrack to the characters to the mecha designs, it nails everything.
But the story is on a whole another level.
The first Gundam to be set in our world, with a realistic representation of the future (except for giant robots), the middle east pushed into chaos as the world has transitioned to solar energy and the whole argument that conflict only causes more conflict.
It used the original Gundam trophies (like newtypes, war, suffering and all that) in new, interesting ways and goes even beyond that. At the end you might find that its story is an antithesis to UC. The plot of Gundam 00 is (as you'll later find out): humanity can't go into space divided. We have to come together before that for the dialogues that will come with other species.
Spoilers for those who haven't watched: I also wanna point the effort of the creative team into making aliens truly... Alien.
I've learned as a kid that Silicon can also form bonds just like Carbon so other planets might have silicon-based lifeforms that would behave like NOTHING here on Earth. And, besides hard sci-fi the likes of Star Trek, Gundam 00 is the only one who managed to nail that. Aliens that aren't bipedal, aren't good, aren't evil, are just different and can't understand when they hurt us.
As the final phrase of the movie (and my favorite quote from Einstein) says: Peace can't be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
And that's the whole point of this series. Gundam 00 is not just a good Gundam or a good anime, is a good story in any media. Watch it with an open mind, even if you're not that much into Gundam or mecha. Until the end, movie included. You'll come out as a better person, I guarantee it.
One of the few Gundam series without a bad ending ( though a possible season 3 is the pro innovator/ pro old type conflicts after the movie).
The ending was mishandled. They make you believe that everyone dies but SFS in the final battle, and then in the last few minutes you find out "JK WE JUST WANTED YOU TO THINK THEY WERE DEAD" and all the tension VANISHES and the weight of sacrifice is GONE. I loved the final battle but I felt robbed.
@@Varlwyll its more like close encounters in that regard I think it works well as after an understanding is made those taken by the ELS are brought back. Plus its shown before in the movie that the ELS can recreate things absorbed( kinda like the Mysterons from Captain Scarlett) and for them to return those absorbed is pretty reasonable to assume.
@@barrybend7189 i personally loved 00 due to many reasons, but you already pointed out why i loved that series, "an antithesis to the UC timeline" as much i want to love the UC story i felt it went to a road where you will just stop caring anymore, bcuz wars will go on that timeline so long as no one understands each other...00 managed and given you valid doubts on how these series will end "by understanding" and thw ELS put them to the final test to work together and finally make a point on how to stop the war.
nice joke
Gundam 00 is something every newbie to Gundam should watch, and the line "Ore wa Gundam" will always be remembered
The best part of 00 is the end of season 1, especially the scene with Lockon
Spike spiegel wannabe
"Hey, you people down there, are you satisfied with this world? As for me, I truly hate it."
"Lockon. Lockon. Lockon. Lockon."
I had water in my eyes in those scenes
My first time seeing that fight I thought I had lost both my favorite characters, the feels! Then season 2 happened and one of them survived. But season 2 had ep 14 (I believe) where everyone came together to destroy all the debris, favorite episode :)
should be of note that Gundam 00 has the most lit opening and ending songs of any gundam series ever
second season op Ash Like Snow is still one of the greatest Opening songs I have ever heard for an anime.
00, Seed and Seed Destiny have some of the best music in the franchise.
@@hypershock0storm479 And only one doesn't suck..
Bull. Shit. IBO has by far the better songs.
@@bingo784 IBO has good music too.
The character writing in this series made me perpetually weep like a baby. Every time someone died, or expressed their grief for their fallen comrades...So good.
"hard to find"
Gundaminfo: am I a joke to you
Well, it seems they rotate what is available on their channel with my current example being Gundam The Origin being privated months back but other Gundam shows are suddenly available
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer I think its half a month for seed and seed destiny remastered and the other half is 00 and everything else is privated for a certain amount of time
*the uploader has not made this video available in your country*
I could write a thesis about what Season 2 and the movie did, and how it was done well, despite what everyone says. But I'll leave ut at this. Season 2 was made to help demonstrate what happens when the general populance gets into a "war is terrible, but at least it's not happening to me" mentality, which was perpetually shown with Saji and Louise in S1.
It does start to get preachy in that it tries to push the whole "we need to get off our ass and stop fighting to further our society and species" ideology, especially with the introduction of the ELS in the movie. But it does a good job of showing that people are all affected by war, no matter how much we want to believe it doesnt, with also adding in plenty of beam spam and green, magical, space dust into the mix.
Also, it's probably yhe best way to introduce something like aliens without getting too campy and making them little green men. Also, Lockon's affect on everyone in Celestial Being is played out really well, including to the foreshadowing of it in episode 7 of the first season. Not to mentiom his quote "Setsuna, you have to change. I couldn't so you'll have to do it for me." Is one of the most powerful quotes I've ever heard, that is pretty much the main theme of the entire series. Not to mention it haunts me to this day since it's the last thing my own twin brother said to me on his death bed.
Finally, i want to add it's probably one of the best dubs done for an anime that I've ever seen, and what keeps me watching Gundam dubbed rather than subbed even to this day with things like Unicorn, and my second favorite Gundam series, IBO.
TL;DR Gundam 00's second season and movie are good, people who think it's silly or bad are just mean.
I have a slightly different view. The ultimate most important part of Gundam 00's story is in the movie, and the two seasons before it were all set up for the climax. While enjoyable and entertaining in and of itself, the two regular seasons will be just that if not for the movie to tie in every idea and message that the whole series was trying to convey.
00 was and will always be by favorite Gundam series.
Heck, my fiancee and I are planning to have our wedding with Trust You as the music.
Oh wow...
Please tell me you took videos.
Good choice, Yuna Ito's song is always a good choice.
Oh my God, now you gave me the best suggestion for a wedding music. When I get a boyfriend that is...
Humble opinion here. Gundam 00 had one of the best OSTs I've ever heard in an anime. So intense, yet graceful.
Seriously though: "Daybreak's Bell" by L'arc-en-Ciel alone is the only reason you should ever need to watch Gundam 00. And it's not even the best part of the show!
Also Ash Like Snow by the Brilliant Green. Hunting down the full version of that song is a bitch and a half though Edit: or it used to be ua-cam.com/video/_d_for2jnQ0/v-deo.html
@@Rippedyanu1 Oh my god yes! This song! Guys listen to these songs! They are so good!
Watch anime and listen to these songs. That's all you need in life, I swear.
Also Unlimited Sky by Tommy Heavenly6: ua-cam.com/video/10n1ZJGx7A0/v-deo.html
Love Today by Taja, was in a few very powerful scenes. I still get chills when I hear it.
The song: *plays*
Me: neeee konna....
00 is what got me back into Gundam. I started on Wing when it aired on Toonami way back in the early 2000s.
My First was SD Gundam Force.
@@barrybend7189 I fell sorry for having seen such garbage.
@@lockonstratos7787 its not bad for a first. As after watching more Gundam later there's plenty of jokes to get. At least its not SEED.
@@barrybend7189 from what iv seen it's bad enough most gundam fans pretend it doesnt exists,and will acknowledge seed and destiny over it.
@@lockonstratos7787 well I was 7 when it aired and my older friends who are more experienced with Gundam thought I was too young for Wing. And most people who say that started with Wing.
4:15 -- Oh my god, dat history of japan reference.
It's actually a reference to The History of the World (I guess...)
@@bluequartzdragon Actually no the Jesus one is a reference to the OG History of Japan.
It's from the part where the dutch brought over Clocks.
And Guns.
and JESUUUUUS
@@dragon5521 Whoops, sorry...
Even to this day, Gundam 00's animation is still good. One of my favorite Gundam series of all time.
Am I the only one who binges gundam at gundam.info official UA-cam channel? A lot of stuff is there
Gundam 00 is my favorite gundam series, if not, one of my favorite series of all tims
Gundam....
The only word on Setsuna's mind
And the fact that he cockblocked 2 women just for his ''GUNDAM''
3 if you include the chick who was on a fake Gundam Meister Group
Beyond Super Saiyan oh. You mean Marina, Feldt, and Neena?
When everyone was stating their important people for fighting, the one name in Setsuna's mind was GUNDAM.
well , not in Trailblazer manga(probably)
oh well exia has the biggest booty after all
@@dontuspowerus1093 Or the writers aren't very good with romance it seem's like a lot of the series outside of the UC Timeline doesn't really delve into it.
Nice too see that you also recommended FMP, as that was the 2nd anime I ever saw and got me into mecha which eventually got me into Gundam 00 as my first exposure to Gundam. this was a really good intro to 00, one that I fail to repeat when I ask others to check out Gundam for the first time.
So glad my friend recommended your channel! 00 was the first Gundam series I actually watched all the way through.
I like gundam and final fantasy when they are stand alone entries. I also like how things carry over like in gundam the white masked dude. Seeing those returning elements is cool
i do always recommend my friends who wanted to watch gundam with gundam 00..
Simple reasons:
1. GREAT OPENING, the opening really match with the condition of the world, besides the song was really good
2. What i like from many gundam series, the huge war, conspiration, etc. They exist in gundam 00
3. The story was really good. Not too much cliche, story-rich, not too simple but not too complicated
4. The gundams was strong for exact reasons(like the high technology), but not too op like cant be hit, or such. The characters still common humans with just good machine
5. The arts/graphics was great. The other gundam like seed or wing maybe too old for some people who wanted to try to watch gundam, but not having huge motivation
.

666. THE OP WAS GREAT.. ALL HAIL LARUKU - DAYBREAK'S BELL.. i watched the shows maybe in 2010(iirc) when the s2 came, but until now when i hear the op1 of season 1, i still got goosebumps. ty
Full circle! Your intro to Gundam videos was your first video of yours I watch, and got me to watch 00.
Wow, I feel you really did this series justice. And your commentary on the evolution from GWing to 00 is spot on.
A friend literally said to me yesterday “come round and watch this show” and so I just watched the first ten episodes of 00 yesterday and have wondered where I’ve been going wrong in not seeing this sooner
Posadist Pacman if you like Gundam 00 then I recommend you check out Code Geass next, another Sunrise Mecha from the mid 2000s that has a lot of the political commentary of 00, cool mecha fights, and one of my personal favorite protagonists in anime Lelouch vi Britannia.
My first gundam was SD Gundam Force. And fun fact Setsuna is from a future version of the Kurdish territories currently under Afghanistan control.
SD Gundam Force? That's cool. How old were you when you first watched it?
@@androyus 7 years old. I still have my captain Gundam action figure.
@@barrybend7189 Awesome. My first Gundam was *Wing* back when I was 10 yo. The story confused the hell outta me, but it has cool mechs and people/characters were actually getting brutally killed (for a kids show at the time) so I stayed tuned till the end. That was some experience.
and yet decided to call himself undescribable pain F. Seiei for some reason... god I can feel the edge from here
@@npc6817 well he was a child soldier.
Subbing you from Malaysia. I love Gundam 00 yup the intro the Charactor the plot the story is making me love gundam even more. Keep it up☺
Pounding out the videos lately. Love awesome first reactions. Absolutely amazing videos
Did you stop giving ratings?
Anyway, I am Gundam.
This isn't a review. He just talk about this one, like recomending too.
Arcada, it's funny how you undervalue SEED (not Destiny) considering SEED was the one Gundam series that revitalized the franchise as well as the mecha genre in the early 2000s. It's thanks to the success of SEED that projects like Code Geass & Gurren Lagann were greenlit and funded.
SEED had so many loose ends, the only thing that was a success was the action, nothing more
Nothing except for the soundtracks that brought so many stars to sing for every other anime hereafter.
@@kenjiro8629 Mobile Suit Gundam also has many loose ends at the end of its story. In fact, SEED actually homage MSG and its rather abrupt ending after the enemy base exploded after Amuro got out of A Baoa Qu.
@@Archangelf91 The mecha designs are great, the story is good, the characters are engaging and the BGM is one of the best in the franchise. SEED is a homerun when it comes to commercial success and its ability to bring new fans to Gundam (& mecha in general) in early 2000s.
@@androyus
Just one problem:
0079's sudden ending is due to the show being cancelled. Rather than making an actual good ending, SEED produced another shitty rushed ending. Trying to justify it with "but 0079 did it too!" is stupidly ignorant.
Great video. I'm always up to some Gundam analysis and this one is awesome :D
Gundam fan since the Toonami days with Wing when I was in 3rd grade. Have never seen Gundam 00 until I saw this video and purchased the Blu-Ray box on your encouragement. Thank You. It was beyond awesome. Really like the red light from the Gundam Thrones. Great video too.
Gundam 00 was my first Gundam too!! And is still my favorite! :))
More notes:
1) Pleeease make a video about SEED. Personally, I never really saw how exactly everybody hates it. I can understand the issues with the second season, but the first seemed pretty alright to me
2) Love the Bill Wurtz reference!
Get ready for the sequel
Gundam 00 brought me back into the series. I am forever thankful to it.
It's hard for an anime movie to live up to it's hype but "Your Name" has not only lived up to it but has equally surpassed and outlived it's own hype. I get goosebumps from just hearing anything that has to do with it. . It's indeed a beautiful and loving masterpiece.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MY FAVORITE GUNDAM AHHH I HAVE WAITED YEARS FOR YOU TO DO A REVIEW OF THIS SEASON
I already bought the collector's edition a few days ago. It was the show that not only started and made me a Gundam fan, but was also my awakening to anime. How could I say no.
I remeber watching the old gundam series as a kid but technically 00 was the first one i watched i could remember the whole story and characters
Your curator vest is amazing btw. Good video.
Love your videos bro!! 🙏🙏
00 is my favorite of the whole franchise. Still waiting on more news about that new 00 project that was announced forever ago.
Gundam 00 was also my first Gundam, and hearing Daybreak’s Bell still gives me chills
Also, after seeing several reviews of the series and watching it myself, it’s kind of interesting to see the massive split between people who think Season 2 was better than 1 or worse. I lean more towards the former camp, but it’s still quite interesting
For me season 2 was way better. And the movie is good too
Yeah S2 is better than S1 in almost everything IMO.
nice to finally see someone cover my favorite gundam kind of surprised this was your first despite there being many gundam series out there to view my first was 8th MS Team which I also recommend but yeah this is the favorite though G Gundam also has a special place in my heart like you said in the video this is basically a better version of Wing which I have come to despise which made fall in love with this Gundam even more I wouldn't say that this is the most accessible to me Gundam Seed despite it's problems would hold that title for me just because it makes the issues easier to digest while Double 0 kind of delves to deeply in the sociopolitical side of war than most people would like to stomach I still highly recommend it as you do just cause it does so many things I like with it's story telling
Great video, 00 was also my first gundam I watched on the SYfy channel 5+ years ago.
gundam 00 was the first one i watched and i fell in love and became obsessed with everything gundam. but gundam 00 has its own stand out from the rest of them whether it be the weapons or the MS's themselves.
So happy I watched 00 it feels "Real" (Real Politic effects on war)
It's a masterpiece, having a political way to show it, it feels... Good, and it seriously feels good to watch this show, surprisingly it isn't "Anime" (Shounen anime and friendly yeah yeah stuff which I wasn't into) to me I found it rare (Like I mean HELLA RARE [1 out the rest of none realistic anime] to find one for me), though it's future like, and yes this Video (Thank you Glass Refection) to show about this show. This truly deserved to be a Masterpiece, yes Its a good starter for a Pew Pew Sword and fast pace action scenes with good sharp angle shit. But it's not a good show to go on tackling the UC century sense it not part of it. Also the Gunplas are amazing
Yes I came, when I saw the rumors (Confirmed) of Season 3
First video watched on your channel. Very well articulated, and well thought out. Been a long time fan of Gundam series. Props, you've earned a sub today.
Thank god for this video. I wanted to start gundam for long now but didn't know where to start !!! Thank You !!!
Funny, I recently started a Gundam dive after RightStuf had a sale where I could get 5 classic Gundam DVDs (sadly not Blu-Rays) for $50. Given I was not an existing fan, I figured $50 was a reasonable buy-in, got a pretty good haul, and so I bought basically most early UC stuff and have been getting through it. And so far, it's been worth it.
Anyone remember Zoids?
Zoids is awful in the best way, pure guilty pleasure shlock, just like b movies lol
@@KennyCnotG hey, that's my childhood buddy. Those toy models were the best I've ever put together. 😊
@@thegooddinggleberry oh, it's my childhood too- i would play and copy the show as it played 😂
Chaotic century was/is on par with the 1 year gundam war
Oh my god thank you! This was my first introduction into the genre as well. It’s wonderful and I always tell people to watch it but they look at me funny. So thank you very much for this.
Your videos are awesome. Easy way to keep anime knowledge while I’m zoning and gaming. Keep it up my Canadian man.

I'm a huge Robotech fan, but I agree with you, Harmney Gold needs to allow Macross to come to North America.
You'll be happy to learn that Harmony Gold is losing it's rights to Macross in 2021.
I wish Harmony Gold stop screwing the Robotech franchise and retcon everything after New Generation. I still want Macross to come but only certain shows because the majority of them aren't that good.
They wont, loseing money over Robotech is a tax scam of theirs.
I think even though the gundam 00 movie, people say it is disappointed but I feel like it really is bringing a point about when Human needed to take a step forward, and really start on traveling around the universe. It's really important for us to Unite and to accomplish mutual understanding, just like Aeolia said in the movie. "Humanity must learn to use knownledge properly. If they don't they'll just rekindle the flame when they try to travel out into the vast world of space. That would be sad." That's my favorite line in the movie . People usually start conflict with prejeduice and stubborn, but little do we know that, if we just communicate, we would've realized how those thing can be solve easily. That's why we need to accomplish mutual understanding, a heart of being able to understand other people, or else stepping into the universe is nothing but a joke. Sorry for bad english
I'm really glad that my journey also started with Gundam Wing, 08th MS Team, and 0083 Stardust Memory due to Toonami. Despite watching everything that followed... my interest didn't return until the release of Gundam Unicorn. Then it was pretty consistent with Iron Blooded Orphans (aka riding the hype train), Gundam Thunderbolt (December Sky and Bandit Flower ....it's my current favorite), and now Narrative :)
Thanks for the review, nice job on your videos as always. Gundam always had a sweet spot of hit or miss and when it's a hit, it hits hard.
A Really great and informative video!
And regarding macross, The good news is that the court decided a few months ago and harmony gold will lose the macross trademark outside of japan in 2021. It's a couple years away but the decision has been made and it's final so fear not, macross is very much coming over.
Even better, Harmony Gold also in that case immediately lost the rights to most of the visual designs from Macross, as the case also upheld the earlier Japanese court finding that the folks that licensed those designs to HG did not actually have the rights to perform said licensing.
@@Tyraeous yay Battletech is saved in the process.
Not SOON Enough!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be a bit more accurate, the license expiration date of March 14, 2021, was the original expiration date when Harmony Gold gained the rights from Tatsunoko Production in 1984. This particular court case was Harmony Gold arguing that an agreement with Tatsunoko in 1998 gave them the right to continue exploit their derivative works (namely, Robotech) in perpetuity, but the court upheld that original agreed-upon date of March 24, 2021.
The whole situation with the rights to Macross (and Southern Cross and Mospeada) can get a little confusing since Studio Nue and Big West also got involved at various points, but at the current time it looks unlikely that any of these companies will continue any further dealings with Harmony Gold in the future.
The best news for Battletech fans, of course, is that it turns out Harmony Gold _never actually owned_ the rights to all those character and mecha designs that they've been suing everybody about.

@@arcticbanana66 yeah what HG did was basically sue another studio because it had the same artist do their work.
Gundam Seed is my entering point.. Yes its bad but it has a special place in my heart & its still has the best gundam soundtrack to date.
Don't feel bad. Gundam SEED is among the "Top 100 Anime of the Century" in the Japanese poll along with the first MSG & Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

I too remember looking for that video to re-watch it and couldn't find it
Gundam 00 is perfect one to start on, amazing overall my actual favourite. Amazing Mechs, music, story, characters and setting.
Broo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 you explained my favorite anime soooo well
I'm so happy thay you finally discussed Gundam 00, its without a doubt one of the best series deserves much praise

00 season 2 is a mess.
Gundam 00 is my intro into the Gundam multi universe. And I just finished it, and it was amazing. Call me a noob anime watcher but the saji/louise ark was the most gut wrenching and depressing and then satisfying I've seen so far.
I liked season 2 of Gundam 00 with its setup of characters who are friends/family/lovers who end up on different sides, and by learning to listen and to understand each other were those characters able to reconcile again.
12:22 "not everyone likes this kinda of socio-political commentary in [a gundam series]"... whut. do said people even watch gundam?
Exactly...the whole idea of gundam universe is about that
Yep, just two civilian character that NOT gonna be important at all
First time I watched one of your vids, it's very good! And yes I would like to see a video on Seed.
I can't thank you enough I've been wanting to get a good version of 00 and I'm totally getting the collector box!!
Sad that Ark didn't mention the fact that Mamoru Miyano is Setsuna's Japanese voice actor
4:17 UC is literally the future with the universal century starting after construction of the first colony! They are even talking about Hitler
Yes, but it isn't in canon with AD.
The point is, that 00 is not the" first to connect gundam to our world"

I'll always hold a soft spot for Gundam Wing, even though I've only seen bits and pieces.
Personally, Iron-Blooded Orphans and The 8th MS Team are the ones I started with and the ones I recommend to others.
Those are the best entry points for sure
My god, i love 8th ms team so much jesus
@@hotnick27 It is why people pretending to be Gundam fans (IBO kids) mention it like it is only one noteworthy series 0_0
@@TheRezro Probably because as the newest mainline Gundam. IBO is a jumping on point for many atm (myself included). First impressions stick, which is also why Wing is such a high point for many as well. AGE came out just before legal streaming became REALLY big, and G-Reco is avoided by starters because it's often made out to more connected to UC than it really is.
@MasterStryfe I agree, 08th is fantastic, my personal entry into the UC timeline.... I just wish it was indicative of the rest of UC, which has a sad, sad tendency to get bogged down by the supposed weight of it's own lore.
0080 and 08th MS Team, high points, required viewings. The rest are passable at best.
Gundam 00 is the most relatable gundam timeline/series I've ever watched.
Globalist vs Nation-states, fuel/energy wars, ideological conflicts., idealist vs realist views. Our pursuit of going beyond Earth when even here we can't even initiate dialogue much. The ELS is not far too stretched given the context. The soundtrack, the production values. Man. I've rewatched it multiple times and still waiting for the next series to be like this.
I gave this video a thumbs-up even before I started watching it, because that title is absolutely spot-on.
My favourite was definitely build fighters. I'm serious lol
My first gundam was Wing then Seed. Loved Seed.
Ah yes, the show that came out back when I was only 2 years old.
Good video dude! G Gundam is rather easy to get into as well, and only 1 season. Just got an MG Gundam Exia kit! Gonna watch 00 again :)
I am a simple man.
I see Gundam 00 thumbnail.
I feel nostalgic and remembered when I first watched this series that got me into gundam.
I click on the video. I watch the video. I like the video.
I always love Gundam 00, even with it's faults. Always felt like the most realistic version. I would say ibo is more realistic but I can't get over the anime hair half the characters had.
nhahtrebor91 .....how is 00 the most realistic? They straight introduced magic into the show by episode 1, and don't tell me GN particles aren't magic cus you'd be talking out your ass.
@@Courier-gq6ym the GN drive is Quantum Physics not magic. And too be fair its still more Logically sound than UC's Minovsky fusion reactors with no external cooling unit.
Barry Bend it makes shit lighter, it increases an objects speed with out altering its mass and it allows you to talk to aliens.
That ain't science, thats magic.
@@Courier-gq6ym you talk by vibrating air particles with your throat. That's how sounds are made. Why is it unreasonable for communication to occur through next-dimensional particles? You ever hear of gravitational waves? You do realize that if we become advanced enough we could manipulate those to make mass lighter right?
Also you don't have to worry about speed causing mass increase until you hit 0.3c or so. Anything below that and mass will not be negatively affected by speed. Idk why you're bringing that up when none of the gundams or anything in the 00 universe even comes close to 0.01c let alone 0.3c
Ryan Ashey "Oh look at me? I'm Ryan Ashey and I know about theoretical science! I must be soooo smart!"
Mate, your an utter mong of the highest degree, GN PARTICLES ARE FUCKING MAGIC!
Sure, perhaps we could do those things one day, but through the power of one particle that just came into existence? Nah.
I've talked to multiple people i know who watched 00, even people that liked 00, and at no point in 00, did they ever explain how GN particles work nor how they were even made, they gained new powers whenever the writer needed something new to ass pull.
00 is not the most realistic gundam series, quite the opposite, they attempted to throw random science words at the viewer to confuse them and make them think it was scientifically possible, but nah, to do everything the GN particles do, all at same time is just pure bullshit.
It is magic, nothing more, the feats are perhaps possible, but not through the same catalyst and not with 00's "science".
Yes boys, consistent uploads.
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE MAKES A VIDEO ON GUNDAM 00
I STILL GET SHIVERS WHEN I HEAR THAT OPENING MUSIC
I will defend the movie til the day I die. The questions it asks, albeit not necessarily well, made it absolutely worth it. Although it doesn't necessarily do it as well as say Fafner ultimately did, they were still good ideas.
It had a bad habit of introducing characters, giving theme little to do, and then killing them off. It was also where I felt the action got the most dull as it was just mobile suits spamming beams at swarms of metal pod things. The beginning and ending of the movie, however, are some of the most memorable moments in the franchise to me.
Whoa, what a flashback. I liked Fafner
Oh hey, a Fafner watcher! But yeah, the movie kinda take stuff from Fafner. If anything the ELS is like a grounded counterpart of the Festum.
@@ferhog7705 can't say much about Descarters, with him being a bait to hide about the ELS...and the missed opportunity to see Gadelaza vs Gundams and the full power of QanT (though it wouldn't be possible anyways considering how pacifistic Setsuna has become). To be fair, the beam spamming is justified in that they can't afford a close range combat with the ELS.
If you want flashy necha action, you'd be better off with Gunbuster or Gurren Lagann. Gundam pretty much in its entirety is about sociopolitical commentary.
00 is probably the flashiest gundam series, although I haven't seen enough of IBO or Thunderbolt to say ever.
THANK YOU! Gundam 00 was my comeback gundam since seed, i didn't watch it after seed was released cause i watched it a few years after. Im glad to have been introduced to Gundam 00 cause it brought my enthusiasm to the franchise
I would never know Gundam if I never knew Gundam 00. The Exia until this day is my favourite Gundam because of how it’s design looks and the way it fights in the battlefield is a unique one because it uses the GN-Sword that is a sword, a beam rifle, and a shield which was at the time a unique fighting style because Exia was the first Gundam to fight without using the typical beam saber
I got so excited when I saw this in my subscriptions
One of my favourite reviewers reviewing pretty much my most favourite anime ever???????? Yes please
ugh god I watched this show back in 2012/2013 so I was like 12 and had no idea what was going on but loved it anyway
I keep rewatching it ever few years n just appreciating it even more aaaaaa this show has a special place in my heart
personally my favorite is gundam seed\destiny. yes I'm serious
danielpogreb
I’m with you.
count me in too
I'm torn between Gundam 00 and Gundam seed. But the first one I watched was Gundam g fighter
it must have been traumatic. I applaud you for not dropping the franchise. as for me seed\destiny are my favorite but I'm torn between 00 and iron blooded orphans.
Mine too, shaped my childhood.
This was also my entry point into Gundam, and it's great.
There was an article a couple of years ago about HGs license for Macross expiring somewhere in the 2020s
