- The core message of Gundam is "war is bad." However, the main purpose of Gundam is "buy our toys." Gundam 00 attempts to thread that needle by pondering how, and why, one could achieve pacifism by gunpoint. Does it work? Is it good? This and more in Gundam Timelines.

Fun facts:
1. The Gundam 00 movie is called "Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie: A Wakening of the Trailblazer"
2. There are aliens in it
Better than those fake martians with their weird looking dragonoid mobile suits
It's reminding me of that one line said by Zero Blue in Gigguk-or-something channel
3. The alien story is better off forgotten
ah yes, the series that created the legend of "THE INMORTAL PATRICK" the now mascot of gundam in the comunity
@I am Petitgguy At least Re:Rise was decent.
real robot character with super robot chirico tier inmortality
@@TARDISES Graham is my boy. This dude was arguably the best non super soldier/innovator pilot in the whole show.
You want the epitome of Mr Magooing it, Patrick is your guy. That man should have been dead many times over
“Super America”
“Big E.U.”
“Chi-Soviet Union 2”
Funny, but true
Then we have no choice, we must become better than Super America, we must go even further beyond Chi-Soviet Union 2. We must become Super America God
Hit the points.
@agent5556 Someone show that boy the God Gundam.
@The_Mecha_Archivist the funny part about Setsuna is he acept Gundam as his lord and saviour and don´t realise about that
Gundam 00 really is basically a better version of Gundam Wing. It's the same concept just explored a little deeper and I love it for that.
I would say an "Updated version of Gundam Wing" not necessarily better.
Yeah, it's definitely better than Wing, but the whole "better version" or rehash is something they keep doing. Seed is basically another 0079, Gundam Build Fighters is reminiscent of G Gundam (a bit, at least the tournament fighting), Gundam 00 a better version of Wing.
I would call it a polished version of wing, but misses some important discussion, like the issue of drones, which really should have been discussed in OO given that drones were being actively used by the time it was written. To me Treize was right about drones in war.
The ending of the Movie left me with "Wtf just happened?" as my reaction, but I accepted it.
Nah it's just "Wing but for 2000's ", form how similar the topic are
"I'm always fighting."
*Gasp!*
"I'm fighting right now."
*GASP!*
Mr. Bushido makes me laugh like most stupid things in 00 so I'll count that as a good.
Even better since one exchange he has implies he didn't even pick the name himself and doesn't even like it, everyone just started calling him that.
Almost like an overly honorable obsessed Char. The flag/gn flags are cool as hell though.
You have not seen the epitome of Ham that is post Awakening of the Trailblazer Graham Aker. And he earns that ham.
Gundam 00 while not my first still remains my favorite. It gets it's point across (Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved through understanding) while still remaining engaging mostly due to it's great cast of characters and timeless animation. Tbf while season 2 does get bit more ridiculous there was pretty much no where else to go due to everyone now having GN Particle Tech so I find it not as annoying as others. Overall I consider this series a nice gateway series into the Gundam franchise and thus have gotten many of my friends/peers into Gundam by recommending it.
As a historian, I gained significant appreciation for 00 with the idea of ending war through understanding. MANY wars throughout History were started by misunderstandings (pun both intended and unintended). Many wars between cultures existed because they could not understand values and morals that separated the two (e.g. Rome invading Gaul and Britannia). Hell, the entire reason why the Japanese Imperial Navy bombed Pearl Harbor was because they believed that the US would respond like the Russian Empire in the Russo-Japanese war (immediately suing for peace after a devastating loss of naval strength). This misunderstanding is what brought the US into WWII. Great Britain was brought into the Great War because the German Empire misunderstood how far GB was willing to defend Belgium's neutrality. Misunderstandings are why wars start and escalate. That's the brilliance of 00's message. UC is still my favorite timeline, but AD is a close second.
I really enjoyed 00 for all the reasons presented and also because it felt like a Gundam show that was trying to prevent Gundam from happening. As in, before the distance between people grew dramatically as humanity left for space, they were trying to build some unity that would persist and prevent conflicts from surging later.
The second season does change the tone a bit and I understand people not liking it as much, but I think it more or less works as things get out of hand.
Mister Bushido was there for one reason and the reason wasn't good enough... But he was pretty funny. Sadly he lacked the emotional core of the superior Cockroach man.
This is my favorite Gundam so far. I always thought of most of the pilots of being an archetype of a different reaction to war, like they fully embodied it. And the Thrones weren't part of CB, they were an attempt to co-op the Plan into a power move, instead of a change in humanity, which Aeolia was going for.
I really loved 00. I was gifted with a 00 Riser Gunpla and immediately fell in love with it. It was my first Gunpla and Gundam Anime.
Mr Bushido is bad stupid. My biggest complaint with season 1 was that the protagonists look like the bad guys with their near super robots, but then this is addressed by the season's end. Then in season 2, my biggest issue was all the characters that didn't directly link to Celestial Being were kinda just there. Like Graham was a stand out in season 1 but was given nothing to do for season 2 except show up, YOUNG MAN, then leave after the fight. Glad he more or less reverted to his old self in the movie
You forgot to ask the most important question at the end: What kind of name is “Bring Stabbity”, anyway?
I hold this view: "Wars are started by people and they end with people." Some people will not listen to words of peace... Some times you have to shoot some one to stop them from doing horrible things because the only thing they understand is force.
Total understanding of each other would massively reduce conflict. It wouldn't end War, because as you pointed out there are some people you simply can not get along with, and once you understand that...
I always felt that this series, on rewatch, was the most post-9/11 piece of media id seen in a while.
What I really like about it is that it comes from Japan’s perspective of this “war on terror” which is harder to represent due to the fact that most popular media around the world is taken from an American perspective, so we will be biased on that front whether it’s positive or negative.
I honestly think Gundam 00 has my favorite first season of any post-UC, pre-IBO Gundam series. It hits everything; it's action-packed, it's actively picking apart the contradictory motives of the 'heroes,' and it is mostly about people trying to cope with the intrusion of a seemingly-insurmountable foe into a very sensible, buttoned-down world by the standards of a mecha anime. If it ENDED at season 1, where season 1 ended, which is a genuinely fantastic 'bucket of cold water' closer where reality most DEFINITELY reasserts itself over the heads of the heroes, it might be my favorite of the 2000s-era Gundam shows.
Unfortunately, Season 2... does not pull it quite all the way across the finish line. But it's still an excellent watch for season 1 alone.
You may have sold me on giving the first season a shot and simply stopping there.
This first minute of this video summarizes perfectly why I'm so interested in this series -- the promise that this series might actually "really explored the question of 'how could one use armed conflict to end armed conflict?'" nearly sold me, but the fact that Gundam series often fail to stick the landing, and you confirming that suspicion with regard to this series, really bums me out. :(
Mr.Bushido is awesome stupid, my headcanon is he become insane when he beat the Gundam
Another very nice take, Zorak!
I personally found the first season to be a bit too intent on keeping the specifics of why things are done hidden away from the viewer, didn't have the greatest time with it, but it seriously picked up the pace after both CB and Graham stopped taking the Thrones' garbage lying down
It's funny, I was explaining to a friend the other day how I thought the side characters were much more interesting than the main characters. My favorites were Graham, Sergey, Cotti and Patrick.
Lord Patrick is only using 1% of his power.
My favorite Gundam series, and the one that got me into the franchise. Your assessment is completely fair.
Welcome back bro! Glad you are still uploading these.
00 was my introduction to the franchise and overall favorite sure the Gundams are powerful but the way the world adapts and progresses to combat them is my favorite aspect.
Thanks for the video, I found your channel through the gundam timelines
It makes me think of WWII. The way Celestial Being acts as a unified threat.
The first season had a more original plot for a Gundam show, but season 2 shared a lot in terms of plot with Zeta.
S2 can be a go home or go big as a sequel. The intent was there to shift the whole Celestial being doing Zero requiem to a more melodramatic space opera with space magic.
Yeah it’s like Zeta but with worse villains, worse craft and without all of the taking tactical positions to take under their banner.
@@user-pi1lb4tf2f Gundam 00 was like ending of Code Geass is stupid, this is what would really happen. Maybe not, I just found it funny, and I even like Code Geass, so no shade against that series
New favourite gundam related channel, i just like how chill and informative you are explaining things, even though its only opinions, cheers
Finally the anno domini timeline!
Gundam 00 was the greatest thing ever created by human kind. If you disagree you’re WRONG
Personally, instead of _Anno Domini_ I would preferred to name the 00 timeline as _Solar Age._
themes wise it sounds like 00 was trying to tackle some of the same anti-war ideas that Wing did, but chose a better framing story for them than Wing did, since Wing's exploration of anti-war themes got very muddled by the baggage of including a "space colonies rebelling against an authoritarian government" setting inherited from the UC timeline.
0:57 Anno Domini (that’s our calendar)
No mention of the movie, the conclusion of it all.
Going from my favorite series to age. Well, that'll be fun
These videos are really well made, keep up the good work!
00 is very fun, but sometimes also very very dumb. It's my favorite series, mostly because I haven't seen much UC just yet.
I noticed that it's somewhat similar to an anime Sunrise made a year or two before it, Code Geass.
Mr. Bushido reminds me of Mashymre Cello or Jerid Messa, just another filler character.
In 00 Gundam only the chicks breast size matters. I think they broke the record there.
Still consider it my favorite to this day.
00 was one of the first gundam anime’s I’ve ever watched
I liked 00. I thought it had a lot of cool stuff packed in there.
Favorite Gundam series in this order Gundam00, Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny, G Gundam fighter, Gundam Build fighter season 1&2, and Gundam Witch Mercury 😁😁😁
gundam 00 is my fav gundam anime and in my top like at least 5 anime period.
When it's not real, war is fun. when it is real, war sucks. a lot.
00 was an OK series for me. The mecha designs in general looked great, the background was interesting, and the fact we got a version of the OG RX-78-2 Gundam in the series, and even the seiyuu for Amuro Ray, was a neat touch.
Two seasons felt wildly different though, and I feel like half the cast were just a waste of space. Also, the introduction of Trans Am at times made the action feel too lopsided.
Overall, 00 and the AD universe was not my favorite timeline, but it was still relatively good.
S1 of OO = Wing
S2 of OO = SEED
movie = ........ egh .......
Mr.Bushido is just a parody of white (or other non asian) weebs who are too deep into the rabbit hole xD
but nah in all seriousness 00 is still the one Gundam series that's more closely related to our current world events and state of affairs than any other series has done so far ~ sure other series may have captured aspects of war better but 00 is closely tied to global politics and and how the world is attempting to move and progress
I just love how far AHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAD it is on its time.
were talking 2007-2008 here with Zero no Tsukaima and Vampire Knight old here lads.
I just want to say that while you called SEED the post-9/11 gundam, 00 is for sure super overt in its discussion of post-9/11 themes. Its discussions of resource wars, energy politics and religious extremeism is very clear, and I genuinely appreciate it for that. Is it perfect? nah. honestly it has that early ‘00s x-treme edginess problem and it kind of runs itself off it’s own rails in the end, but yeah… its sheer ‘00s post-9/11ness is important as a cultural marker in a way. At least it feels that way.
MY FAVOURITE GUNDAM SERIESSSSS
So basically a hideaki anno style gundam series
The politics and the events are exactly in real life time events....like the never ending wars in the middle east, which could be possible once the oil runs out or heavily regulated....the UN exist....real countries are present with the additional fictional ones and the real world factions like the russia-china alliance, EU and America dominating the entire americas....that is the reason why this is one of my favorite series...it's very closely related to our real life situations and the politics....think of AD...Anno Domini...latin for after christ....
Biggest complaint about S2 is the realization that the Innovades should have had real GN drives and Gundams. It would have forced a small change to the ending, but Ribbons is kind of an odd placed character because he's given this job that he's supposed to accomplish and none of the tools to do it. Essentially his arc is his rejection of helping guide humanity to innovator status, believing he is humanity's superior. But the story gives him none of the tools to do help humanity and doesn't even make his link to Celestial Being realistic and so nothing really feels earned.
Still good, but it's just oddly placed as is.
the innovades does not have access to the real gn drives because all sensitive data pertaining to transam, twin drives, meisters, gn drives were purged when ribbons took over level 7 of veda during season 1. it's like a just in case system, resistance program put in veda. the sudden appearance of ribbons and his goals were too basic, but still fun to watch.
*We. Are. Gundams*
I think the drop in the quality of the writing can easily be illustrated with the post-timeskip scene where to demonstrate that a character was evil, and that they'd abandoned any pretence of nuanced writing, they had that character shoot up a wedding with cancer-lasers on a whim.
that was pre-timeskip
That was season 1, and it was perfectly in character. No the real issue was the twist villain Alejandro Corner was shown to be evil without any real motivation, then it turned out that his protege was the actual true villain this whole time and was using Alejandro this whole time.
Oh, I didn't know Tiaria was nonbinary. Cool. My only knowledge of a lot of Gundam shows comes from the Dynasty Warrior Gundam games, so it is cool to hear stuff like this.
Double Oh, based on your description, feels very much like what Wing was trying to do, and I respect it for that. Presenting this idea of "Gundam as terror weapon on par with a nuclear power" is fascinating (also you mentioned this in the video nice!), and I honestly really like Setsuna's "I AM GUNDAM!" religious fervor over Hiro's "I'm a weaponized human" shtick. I definitely intend to watch it at some point.
more gundam content please u are balling hard on the gundam lore
World separated in big ''countries'': check
Space elevators: check
Proxy wars: check
Front mission: ??????
The first time I saw 00 I didn't even know it existed. I remember I was hanging out with my lil sis one night and she's like yo animonday is on sci-fi channel right now let's watch it. I'm like ok. We changed the channel and 00 was on. I immediately knew it was Gundam and loved it.
Pls go easy on Age, its not T H A T bad
I think parts of it were pretty good. But kinda like 00 it just doesn't stick the landing.
@@realmtl6829 agreed I really didn't hate it until Kio showed up
Gundam 00's 2nd season and the issues you probably had with it was caused by the traditional Gundam fans. The first season contained a lot of non-traditional Gundam elements which the traditionalists complained about. So they put in more traditional elements into the 2nd season which led to it not being as good as the 1st season because the 1st season broke from tradition in a lot of areas. It's the same reason why people crap on IBO now. IBO for me rivals 00 as my top Gundam series. Yet because it had a non-traditional ending, people now hate on IBO. Just imagine if Seed went with its original direction as well thus how much crap Seed would get. It would probably rival/surpass Destiny's hatred. :P
Did the Japanese fanbase not like 00?
The most hilarious scene for me
The guy who just literally shot his family arch nemesis in the head : "yeah, anew. I believe that we can understand each other"
Probably my own personal re-awakening for Gundam as a whole. 2007 was the year I left highschool and living in a country with bad internet (the emergence of YT just a year prior) and only what Toonami or Adult Swim showed the viewing experience was limited.
Seed is also garbage. So 00 was surpringly well done.
00 is probably my favourite gundam series, its not the best, but i love the characters ('specially my boy lockon), and i think moment-to-moment its some of the most engaging tv ive ever watched, binging it in one go is probably the most a show has had my attention and kept me engrossed. where it struggles is with the complete effect, it juggles so many ideas and themes and has so many twists and reveals, and i'd argue that when you are watching it thats a strength, it has enough to make you think about what its trying to say, and enough to keep you guessing as to what is actually going on, but that also means that if you were say, reading a plot summary, or had a friend explain the broad strokes, it would just seem like messy confusing nonsense. personally i'd give it a 9/10 for watching experience, 7/10 for quality
i hope i explained that well, i think i could have probably worded it better but hey
Basically Team America: World Police, but with Giant Robots, and taken seriously.
I like 00 until season 2. It's as if they decided to take the elements they borrowed from Wing & put it in a blender with elements from Zeta. Worst of all is the fact that celestial being acted as though they were powerless/ screwed without Setsuna & the 0 Raiser. The first season Gundams could hold their own in combat but come season 2, even with their upgrades, everyone would say: "Where's 00?!" I get that Setsuna is the main protagonist & the 00 is his upgrade but good God! Other than that & the movie being lackluster/ slightly boring, 00 is pretty good.
Season one was a 9, the second season, while not as good, is probably a 7.5-8. it's still pretty good.
Over the past like, 8 months ive been getting really into Gundam and so far, 00 has been the best with IBO at 2nd
Have you watched Seed & Seed Destiny?
Thanks for this video! Very informative.
Oh man, there was so much bullshit I forgot about in this series. 😂 You know what I remember being distinctly in its favour? After the trainwrecks that was SEED Destiny, there was barely any stock animations in this show. 👍to that at least.
When will you do a video about the Ad Stella timeline?
(Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury)
00 is the anime that got me into anime
Gundam: Humans vs Pretty Boi Anime Bullshit
Gundam 00 is my favorite series, enough said
S1 was phenomenal when I first watched it. S2 I couldn't stand, it felt dumbed down. I liked the unique factions with their own designs and agendas and personnel.
Mr. Bushido was Ghram's edgy phase. It was bad stupid tbh. I still love the show though.
Anno Domini sounds really good, ill have to check this one out. Though UC is my favorite time-line. This is about the most realistic. Why? Well after WW2 the Nazi's actually escaped from what we know as "earth" traveling past Antarctica to the lands beyond the known world and settling on Terra Vista, Lumeria, Hyperboria or Atlantis. The technology that the Nazis had were far ahead of anything the Allied nations could develop. Everything we have today is a derivative of their tech. I think in the future they will return and wage war against the nations left on "earth". To us it may appear we are in an alien invasion when actually its the Aryan Nazi's invading with their UFO and Delta Winged craft. I think some of the worlds governments have kept in contact with them to trade and develop technology. All speculation but can be supported with factual information and ancient history.
Exia is my main in gundam vs, hearing setsuna shouting "ORE WA GUNDAM DA" for hundreds time start making me annoyed fr
00 isn't the worst, to be sure, but it's the one that disappointed me the most.
I absolutely loved it at first.
But it dropped into being so stupid so fast that my neck hurt from the whiplash.
Evil Gundam pilots, twins/clones/etc, aliens, and friggin Mr Bushido.
God... This show started out so good.
And went to crap so fast.
Shoulda put a spoiler warning. I didn’t know there was a time skip dammit. Thanks
mr.bushido, while a bad name for all purposes, as a character he's fine, so it's good stupid
give me more anime like gundam 00
Probably Code Geass is a another good one to start. But honestly any of the other newer gundams work too like Iron Blooded Orphans.
If you liked season 2, Zeta is like 00 Season 2 but better
I am gunda-
Will there be a Season 2 ??
I like season 1, don't talk to me about season 2.
The bestest
nice
SUPER AMERICA! F YEAH!
Fictional politics? Oh... you mean peace...
Where's the Gundam Seed video in this series? '0'
Part of it keeps getting copyright struck, I need to do some re-editing to get it back up.
@@ZorakGoesOn I see. What about IBO?
Gundam 00 is my first foray into the mecha rabbit hole. While many would say that it is "gay shit" for being the One Direction of Gundam, I think it is because it is the One Direction of Gundam that made me, a woman, interested in Gundam, and based on my experience with other Gundam and mecha fans in general, Gundam 00 had attracted a lot of women into a mostly male fanbase. Gundam 00 may not be into the "old guard's" tastes, it has instead attracted an untapped market.
Gundam 00 is, in fact, "gay shit".
I will admit I do not like Gundam Double 00 Second Season. I really do not like how the emotions I feel at the death of the Gundam Meisters is cheapened by their not death and then there is the identical twin nonsense for Lock-On Stratos that only further irritates me. If the Second Season took place with a brand new cast of Meisters to take up the fight in the name of the old, I would have enjoyed it better.
Part of me saw Gundam 00 season 1 (and this specific caveat is important) almost as a reaction to SEED (to a lesser extent, Wing's formula too) and almost an examination of its hypocrisy. The Gundam Maester are self righteous, sometimes even annoying pricks who basically at the end of the day believe that moral superiority lead to peace and their moral superiority is justified because fuck you, they got the giant toy robot that shoot disco lasers. They also exist beyond the main factions as their own faction, which echoes the whole thing that Kira is superior to everyone by taking his own stance. There is also Setsuna's religious nuttery with the Gundam that is almost like a dark echo of the messianic overtone of later Gundam show. Add in a lack of initial antagonist and the complete absence of a full Char clone and this is a Gundam show that is trying very hard to both be Gundam but also exist as a contrast.
If not for season 2 and a tonal shift, in part because some says Japan found 00 to be TOO DIFFERENT from previous Gundam works then Gundam 00 is almost the anti-SEED in its initial episodes. By season 2 its almost like a self parody. Graham Acker goes from a not-really-a-Char-clone-he's-just-blonde to wearing a mask and having a new identity because, hey, we need a 'masked guy'. There is a villain because the show need a villain. Setsuna BECOME the same type of Kira-esque cheesy messiah the show was almost mocking.
You have no idea how much I dissagree with you
I actually think it’s a Team America World Police thing where it shows what American’s idea of being the world’s protector, takes away any allegiance, and shows how flawed that idea is. And this is from Japan who is an outsider to the political strife going on. Hell The President of the Union says “that’s are job” in reference to that idea. Which is ironic, because most of America’s founding fathers went against interventionism.
Hmmm this sounds familiar *cough* gundam wing *cough* sorry frog in my throat
Really gay! That's what it is! Booyah!
Better than seed not as good as wing. MSG was still better than all.
War bad
I liked OO...... until the movie completely ruined it for me
@æ I think I'll ee watch the movie again and give it another go
The 00 is complete BS.
Too much screentime on people reacting to events? Thats literally how I describe the boring ass UC
The worst gundam show/series.
