No, it was a shit episode.

I take it that you gave up all hope for Gundam 00? Isn't there anything that might make you like it again?

[Stargazer]

Not only have I given up all hope for Gundam 00, this show has honestly made me want this show to fail so bad so their will never be another gundam every again.

This director is a moron, this "good guy beats everyone" shit worked in FMA, it doesn't work in Gundam.

The highly acclaimed Gundam shows are all ones where the Gundams aren't the best, where guys in grunts can outmaneuver them and win, it adds a sense of unpredictability to it.

Like with Gundam 00, from the opening we've been able to figure out the entire rest of the season, which is retardedly dumb.

I Loved 8th MS Team, the main characters are basically ace grunts, which makes the show alot easier to relate to actual warfare. (it's damn late and I have no idea what im talking about, hopefully it actually makes sense lol)

But yeah, main characters used Mass Produced MS, somewhat mass produced. but basically they're kinda like the Overflags team in 00.

[Dark Lord Revan]

Howard and The Professor were much better characters then any of the Gundam Meisters and deserved to live longer then all of them, espicially Howard.

I would say, especially the professor. I dont know where you get that Howard has any real presence at all, he's really just filling.

Anyway, how many series now has had the Jupitris in it? Whats up with that ship anyway?

Also...no, as long as Sunrise exists, there will always be another Gundam. And your wrong on the failing part, see, in Japan, they love it. Worship it. By it i mean gundam 00, much as it seems implausible. The japanese always see things differently from the rest of us, they loved both SEEDs too. Of course, anything we like, they love more, so its not like gundam is the most well-loved show over there. But its definitely not going to die anytime soon.

Howards got glasses! He's been backing up Graham for the entire series!

He is a bad ass mother fucker, and much better than any of the gundams.

[Dark Lord Revan]

....Fine...i grant the glasses part....

He just....reminds me of that royal knight guy in code geass.

[Stargazer]

And that Royal Knight guy kicks a huge amount of ass, m'kay?

Anyway, Howard is a much more interesting character than any of the meisters.

08th MS team ruled, tho ended like SEED lol with the main character turning traitor.
Would love another series like 08th MS team, cept in the SEED universe. Or just an entirely new one with no newtypes just really good pilots in mass produced units, ones who aint invincible.

[Dark Lord Revan]

Hey i didnt mean he was bad, i just meant its a character type too used nowadays.

[Crusader]

Yeah, well, I guess the whole Astray series in Seed kinda did that, also Igloo was the same way for thr original Gundam series, but with quite a few improvements.

[Dark Lord Revan]

We finally see the whole point of putting a character (lousie) who previously had zero plot involvement.

Somehow, im not suprised.

Glad they do something to make up for a damn recap/filler episode, doing a dble ep.

[Crusader]

Not suprised, but this is gonna start getting interesting.

Glad they actually gave a reason that the two CB factions are going to fight eachother now.

[Dark Lord Revan]

Im not exactly glad. More like...'oh, so this is how they're going to do it'

As i said before, the trinity's 'evilness' factor and the fact that they will fight the meisters eventually have already been confirmed...faaar too well.

[Crusader]

knew that from the opening, but now we know they're not actually a CB Splinter (possibility).

once again, CB are not the good guys, the 3 power blocs are the good guys.

CB are terrorits, the differance is the 4 meisters are the IRA while the Thrones are Al Quieda essensially.

[Stargazer]

...CB is the good guys...

atleast that is how they are perceived to be.

They are the righteous ones, they are the ones making the world change to be a "better" place.

BUT

I'm gonna say that I enjoyed this episode...

Graham beat the shit out of the throne unit and nabbed himself a beam blade.

and i'm actually rooting for CB to kill the throne units, I feel sorry for saji and louise.

[Johnny Ridden]

No they aren't, there are things pointing fingers that CB's motives aren't all that clean constantly, especially with the "You have witnessed too much" I'm telling you, IRA and Al Quieda.


If their intentions turn out to be just about making everyone all peaceful... THAT would be a plot tiwst.

[Stargazer]

Yes, in real world logic they would be the bad guys.

but look at it how the show is perceiving it.

They are the protagonists, they always win, they think they're right, some people think they're right.

they're terrible heroes, the worst ever, but they're the heroes none the less.

[Johnny Ridden]

Have you seen this mans other works? FMA was the exception.

I honestly doubt that he would be happy with something like that, of cource they think they are right, everyone does, they arn't heroes untill I see Veda's plan in front of me, and it doesn't have anything other than end wars on it.

FMA? Ep9 of Neon Genesis?

Yea, I've seen his other work.

He should stick with things that aren't mecha.

And he's going down the path of Fukuda! One decent series and then a piece of shit terrible shoot me in the head for watching it type of series.
