    Even if he's a joke, Patrick _the man._ He might be my favorite comic relief character ever. I just love the running gag that he _literally_ won't die even if you kill him, to the point where even the other character see his suit explode and are like: "Eh, I'm sure he's fine."

      The fact that the show actually addresses it twice in Season 2 is just brilliant, in my opinion. The first time is when he implies that he's earned the nickname "The Immortal Colasour" after surviving countless encounters with the Gundams in Season 1. The second time is when Kati outright prohibits Patrick from sortieing, stating outright that she's counting on his immortality to keep them alive through the final battle against Celestial Being.

      @MrBlueBurd0451 Рік тому +23

      It's even better because despite being a very meme line, it carries incredibly deep meaning. Setsuna sees Gundams (And Exia/00 in particular) as the embodiment of the future of mankind. An avatar or herald of times yet to come, where everyone can live together not without strife, perhaps, but at least without violent conflict. A humanity together, reaching for the stars. And he wishes to be such an avatar himself. To be one of the things/beings/entities that creates such a future. That is why he sees himself (and his fellow Meisters) as fundamentally indivisible from the Gundams they pilot.

      ​@theweedeater1842 to be fair, most of gundam portrays the gundams as ultimately negative for the world they inhabit. The gundams have consistently been the vehicle in which the writers drive dark concepts like loss of innocence, forced maturity, the consequences of WMDs, and the inevitable arms race that comes with building bigger/stronger weapons of war. WFM is just extremely direct about the dehumanizing nature of the military industrial complex.

    My favorite Gundam series. I love that it feels like it is not that far removed from our time now, especially with how basic the Human Reform League mobile suits were in the beginning. The FLAGs look like something Lockheed Martin would build if mechs were a real thing. It starts so grounded. It evolves into more Gundam norms later but they make the progression believable.

    Not only the best Gundam series but honestly one of the best pieces of sci-fi ever. It tackles the same problems as previous Gundam shows but also combines them with larger societal and existential questions you usually only see in older sci-fi like the works of Asimov, Clarke, etc.
    The characters are also fully fleshed out and feel like real people with past, motivations, dreams, actual personalities they follow. Which is a contrast especially to Gundam Seed, where characters are just thrown around by the plot.
    It also does the whole _audience surrogate_ right, in a way where the character never feels invasive or stuck, he is actually part of the story and allowed to literally grow with it.
    The whole setting also feels very realistic, as transition to renewable energy is already happening and there's a big chance it'll turn the tables on countries that have historically relied on oil for their economies, risking whole regions like the middle east to spiral into countless civil wars.
    .
    .
    .
    Lastly (and this is a bit of a spoiler for those who haven't watched the movie, which is the always intented end of this story. So if you haven't, you should, Gundam 00 was building towards that movie from the very beginning), it has one of the best depiction of silicon-based life to ever appear in any work, be that a movie, book, animation, you name it. It's very rare for aliens to truly feel _alien_ like that. It also pairs well with the whole newtype thing because crystalline life forms would need a different way of communication.
    At the end of the day, Gundam 00 is not only Gundam at its finest but if you switch the mechs for tanks, spaceships, missiles, etc, it's not different from any sci-fi classic or revered war movie.
    And always remember: Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

    Remember this line from Aeolia Schenberg's speech in episode 1: "The Dialogues to Come" and the "ship from Jupiter" that the Union professor found out coz those two factoids will come up again all the way to the movie. Also don't skip the Lockon's/Neil's cemetery scene coz it established that Neil has a twin brother (😏). All those setups really shows that the writers of Gundam 00 really had a great overarching plan for their saga from beginning to end.
    Also, it's kinda creepy how Gundam 00 with the KPSA terrorist organization that Setsuna once a member of have pockets around the world and managed to do some big attacks on Europe (killing Lockon/Neil's family in one of them) kinda predicted the rise of ISIS/ISIL, a terrorist organization that was worse than Al Qaeda and was able to have pockets around the world through their "remote teachings" and managed to do sporadic attacks around the world too, not unlike the ones that killed Lockon's family. Gundam 00 can be too real sometimes 😮

I may rewatch it someday just to catch up, but it's a solid series and deserves more love. Since you mentioned Tieria, one thing I DO recall is how uppity he was. The dude only talked about four things: Aeolia Schenberg, Veda, Innovators, Innovades.

      Let me preface this by saying 00 is one of my favorites and was my first gundam. Thing is it's beautiful, but the character designs are very polarizing in that way that anime has tried to move away from. The mobile suits are really awesome, but many of the non gundam suits look like armored cores and not mobile suits, and even the gundams themselves are one design with a few tweaks. The show is really deep and willing to dive deep into certain topics other shows wouldn't but it lays a lot of itself on THICK. Gundam 00 is polarizing because if it works for you it really works for you, but if it doesn't every strength has an easy flaw to nit pick at.

      Funny, I've always viewed 00 as a more developed take on Wing. The Gundams being uniquely powerful advanced machines that utterly crush all opposition and the consequences to the political schemers of the world it's set in. The whole large scale schemes within schemes and factional infighting thing done better, and the philosophical argument being made delivered with more skill and a deeper understanding. (Even counting Endless Waltz) Heck, even the theme of 'the pilots are pawns until they decide to make their own way' is executed better here than in Wing. There's a laundry list of reasons why, from the smaller scale thanks to not having space colonies in the mix, to the avoidance of melodrama and giving the government forces more character and time to shine on screen. But at the end of the day, that's been my take on 00. That while Seed was essentially 'What if we did 0079 today?' 00 was 'What if we played Gundam Wing's themes and motifs seriously?'

    As someone who followed a similar path to you and watched all of the Gundam series in airing order
    Gundam 00 was pretty easily my favorite. Like you said, it had just great mix of everything from action to politics to character development and having a good mix of quality and quantity of characters and the relatability to our modern society

    Ah yes, Gundam 00…such a good series and the best entry in the franchise to play a drinking game with. Take a shot anytime someone says, Gundam, Gundam Meister or Celestial Being…just be careful with the first episode. Also, LONG LIVE THE IMMORTAL PATRICK COLASOUR xD

    • @pockylovingranger
      @pockylovingranger Рік тому +2

      @@Tyrarl And if you REALLY want to press your luck, take a shot whenever Allelujah says, “I HAVE CONTROL” in Engrish, “Marie Parfacy”, “Hallelujah”, when his Quantum Brainwaves act up, and whenever one if the Meisters says their “catch phrase” before starting a fight. The only other entries in this franchise I can think of that can be watched while playing a drinking game are Gundam Wing and the Cosmic Era shows xD

    Here we are, Gundam OO, currently my favorite Gundam series. The mobile suits are top tier with the non Celestial Being Mobile suits looking cool yet anachronistic in their own ways compared to the Gundams which look and perform like they came from the future and just crushed them at nearly every encounter. At least until Corner sold the Pseudo Solar Drives to the three major powers where the new GNX's clapped Celestial Being's cheeks. Of the Season 1 Gundams I think I love the Virtue since BIG GUN!!! The Characters are compelling in their own ways with Setsuna, well definitely having the most legit reason to be edgy of any Gundam Protagonist, I mean, jeez. At first I was like "why are we here?" whenever we cut to Saji and Louise doing their schtick. But then Louise's family was killed by that psychopath Nina FOR LITERALLY NO REASON OTHER THAN SHE WAS LIKE "oh those assholes are looking too happy I don't like that one bit!" And afterwords Saji and Louise, season 1 had them shoved feet first into a meat grinder to say nothing of what they, especially Louise get put through in season 2. Back to Nina, she was so petty and demonic it made Dio Brando blush. Hell Team Trinity was a gang of rabid animals and seeing Johann and Michael get gunned down like thugs was so sweet. But speaking of, Ali Al-Saachez stole the show for me as my current favorite villain in Gundam. Not only is he like Yazan from Zeta on crack but the dude is just such a piece of garbage you can't help but be transfixed on him wondering how far he's gonna go. Besides, he's played in English by Scott McNeil, you can't go wrong with Scott McNeil. So yeah Season 1 was crazy and now to see Season 2 and the consequences of Celestial Being's armed interventions.

    I love how what gundam a plant the seeds of in one series bloomin another I've heard this described as a more fleshed-out version of Gundam Wing and I can certainly see that and what this series had to say about child soldiers would ultimately be expanded upon in iron blooded orphans
    Gundam Wing is a distant relative of oo and oo and iron blooded orphans are blood relatives

  • @TheHarunate
    @TheHarunate Рік тому +2

    Gundam 00 is perhaps the greatest non-UC Gundam series ever made and my personal top favorite Gundam series alongside Turn A and Zeta. There are numerous stand-out aspects of the show, including but not limited to Setsuna being the "best Gundam" (well, aside from Gundam NT's Rita Bernal, that is), GN-001 Gundam Exia being the "best girl", Sumeragi being one of the best female captains in the series, the Immortal Colasour existing to make fun of Kira's plot-armor moments, interesting cast of characters, cool mobile suit designs, kickass musics, etc.
    I'd say Gundam 00 is the best starting point for newcomers who are interested on getting into Gundam series but found the entire UC series to be a bit too long for their taste (from 0079/The Origin all the way to Victory or G-Reco). Although I'd recommend Gundam X as well because of its bigger similarities to UC.

    what i love most about Gundam 00 Season 1 is we actually get to see mobile suit battle tactics being uses. like HRL plan to capture a gundam, or the joint Gundam capture effort. i like to see how practical the nations are to their approach to dealing with the overpowered gundam, They arent the invincible super weapons of the older series immune to tactics and superior tactics
