Hmm, that ace held his own in a grunt againts Exia for a bit. This could show some promis for the grunts in this series.

[Stargazer]

how does it? the Ace held his own for a little bit then got beat, both weapons taken out, if he got beat like that, no grunt can take down those gundams.

silly Gundam 00, looks like i'm sticking with Bleach.

[Dark Lord Revan]

Remember the conversation arce had near the end of the episode? He suggests that the Flag can be tuned to match a gundam's speed and maneuverability.

In anycase...isnt it whats its supposed to be about? No-one would go up agaisnt the whole world if he didnt have technology that beats everyone else's flat out. And skilled people to pilot them.

Eventually i think the standard of technology's going to rise....its only the first 3 eps for crying out loud...

The Flag custum actually takes it to Exia in episode 4. Am I the only one who thinks the great animation is like a breath of fresh air after Destiny?

Not at all. Thats the thing I love most about this series so far.

[Crusader]

I love the animation for this series. the Custom Flag did really well when you think about it. on the other hand..... When you really think about it, Exia is like the regular Strike of the series, no specializations, mostly conventional weapons i.e. solid blades, it has beam weapons but it seems to be rarely used.


Also, their ideal is alot different from Mithril's when you point out everything. but it's interesting how their goals are quite similar.

I like how they attacked the weaker nation for takeing advatage of them. I honestly think this series has ALOT of potential, the first four episodes have had lots of action. It can only escalate from here.

[Dark Lord Revan]

It's fast lost parallels with Wing too. Btw, did anyone notice? CB seems to go some extent not to aggravate the superpowers. Note they only kill soldiers, and then only when they didnt start it. First ep they started it, but didnt kill any troops. They did kill terrorists tho. Second ep they did kill troops, but only when intervening. 3rd ep no killings either, and the attacks had in common that celestial being started them. So they still seem to be drawing a line as to how much nose-punching they do. And behind the scnes, it indicates the writing team is really considering as many concepts and factors as possible, as compared to Seed and especially Destiny.

Edit: Ok i just watched ep 4. Scratch that...haha...

It always happens after you type that out right. XD

[Crusader]

Yep, sometimes I have a great argument written(or rather typed) out, post it, then watch a new episode and have it all become obsolite T-T

[Dark Lord Revan]

Lol...i shoot off too much sometimes -_-' ...anyway, after thinking about it, the writers are doing an even better job than i thought. Alot of subs out there lost the general meaning of all the political load, but i watched mendoi's. Its pretty deep, the setup.

Tho, i suppose this is not going to appeal to kids like Seed does...then again we're not lol.

Tho, i suppose this is not going to appeal to kids like Seed does...then again we're not lol.

Just another reason that I like this series. Its like a breath of fresh air after seed destiny. This series actually reminds me of how much I enjoyed seed when it first came out, then the disaster that is destiny kinda of destroyed a lot of my interest in it.

So far gundam 00 is really good. I enjoyed episode 5, Allejujah is probably my favorite character so far, Lockon is also pretty cool too. I think it will be interesting how the HRL will spin the events of episode 5 in their favor. Or if they will just tell the truth and show there is a good side to CB.

[Dark Lord Revan]

Another thing, about soma peiris, the enhanced soldier...the way they handled her introduction seems...strange. In that its not following a usual stereotype like the Seed series extendeds. I think this enhanced soldier plot tread will develop differently.

Well, i just watched Ep5 too. Haha...im always abit slower cuse i wait for mendoi to release the HD version...anyway i like this show more and more with every ep. Tho one thing bothers me....newtype flash? -_- i hope not...

Second, i think its quite evident by now already but do you guys think all the pilots except maybe, Lockon, and completely or nearly completely crazy? Maybe its in the job requirements for gundam meisters...after all, you'd have to be crazy to go agaisnt the world...

I was wondering too how useful dynames sniping really is, since all the other gundams have beam weapons and dynames only used the range in ep 1. I guess i know better now. That range is completely insane...minimum height for a satellite to maintain orbit is about 160km (100 miles). I would guess thats the height the operation was conducted. Oh and, he definetely shot more than 160km. The beam came at an angle so assuming the earth is flat, at a 30 degree angle the range would be about 320. Add the curavature...about 350km? 0_0

Damn when did Mendoi release it? I've been waiting forever T-T.


Thanks for the tip, and the spoilers lol

[Dark Lord Revan]

Doh. Er....sorry dude. Wont happen again, promise.

Cookie offering?

[Infinity238]

Woa, Upgraded Dynames FTW, like deathscyth meets buster. Episode 6 was good, lots of action.

[Dark Lord Revan]

Im starting to see SG's side now. Sure its lots of action, but now the battle cheography is starting to not make much sense at all. Mild spoiler, but we're just seeing more gundam invincibility action. Im starting to wonder when they're going to get around to the point of the show, cuse its not like we're running a full 50ep length show here. 1 quarter in and little character development. All this ep had was...fanservice (which is not a bad thing but...), more early gundan wing style action, and a suspicious plot element that may have been stolen from full metal panic en bloc. Meh.

[Stargazer]

told ya.

only good things are Graham and Patrick.

Edit:

I just watched Ep.6, more crap.

Patrick, an ace, gets beaten so easily again, yea, that's great.

Dynames already upgraded. Invincible Gundam gets upgraded even further? stupid.

I am SEVERELY dissapointed so far, espicially since it has the Full Metal ALchemist Director.

all the gundam pilots (with the exception of Lockon) are a bunch of Melancholy, depressed, boring, uncharasmatic, predictable, stupid, tiresome bunch of wankers.

this is as bad as Destiny.

I think the only draw for the pilots is that three of them are totally crazy, and Lockon Stratos is voiced by Shinichiro Miki. Im wondering about the upgrades for dynames. They're unnecessary, since exia shows it can take punishment without the equipment. And...why the hell arent the grunts shooting when dynames is exposed? That last scene it appears in especially. Also...i would have thought by now that grunts would learn, fighting melee agaisnt exia is suicide. Why arent they shooting it? Exia now has more melee weapons than it needs too. Especially considering it already has a beam shot.

I chortled at more of vitue's giant penis cannon action...why it has such a weapon now i cant fathom...

[Stargazer]

told ya, it's as dumb as dog shit.

i'm only watching for Graham, Patrick and that new ace dude that seems to be able to actually fight on par with Exia.
