I like it. Yeah, the mobile suits that aren’t gundams look like walking turds and the gundams look the same as all the other gundams and fit the same basic roles as the other gundams of every series there’s been multiple gundams in. But the storyline is awesome, regardless of it’s similarity to Destiny. I love the plot and that it’s an almost feasible conjecture of our future. Maybe someone smart in japan realized we need to convert to solar power, and maybe this series is to demonstrate that we should not fight over it once we’ve got it.

And then again, there’s also a hoard of bandai action figures and models to market. You can’t blame them though, everyone does it.

Just watched Gundam 00, and it’s not bad… so far.

I guess the Japanese are trying to promote America’s “war on terrorism” or something.

A group that wars in order to stop war is the same theme from Seed Destiny. It seems like the main character is really close to what Kira was. He handicaps the gundams and leaves the pilot unharmed. The same can’t be said about his comrades, though.

The gundams look fine, but the other misc. mecha really blows.

Someone actually is subbing the first series, but the episodes aren’t seeded anymore. I suggest just digging up copies of the original compilation movies, as they’re a lot better.

I got the same impression you did by watching the “trailer”. I didn´t find any nice mecha design or anything. But I´ll most likely watch atleast the first ep.

Gundam Seed got my attention because of the “two friends having to kill eachother” theme :p and when Lacus made her entry, well I was lost and had to see the show.

Seed Destiny, don´t know why I watched it…

Still looking for a group to release the very first Gundam so I can watch that.

I wonder what your response would be like if they featured a Gundam army of Chuck Norris.

Wait, that might be Gundam G.

You never know. There could be many fanservice for the lads too (hopefully ^^;)

Ah, I had forgot about Turn A. Probably because I’ve not seen it.

Yes, it’s unfair to trash the series before it starts, but after Destiny we have reason to believe it won’t be Zeta Gundam.

No offense, but we should at least wait for the show to air before we condeem it. I mean, it looks like it is going to crap, but that doesn’t mean it necessarily will be.

And it’s not like Sunrise completely ignores us true fans. They made Igloo and are making Unicorn. They just don’t care enough to give us a TV series.

Well, they’ll have a whole new batch of over-designed models to sell, and isn’t that the point of it? They should bring back the UC and the smple glories of the Zeta Gundam and Hyaku Shiki and leave the bishounens behind.

I agree with the Destiny comment… Andy and the vague hope of the series getting better helped me watch it to the end. Even then, not enough Andy and not enough good stuff. I think I cried.

Anyway, Gundam’s have not been getting worse as time goes on IMO. OK, Wing sucked big time, but untill Destiny it wasn’t too bad. Gundam X was OK (better than Wing at any rate), Turn A Gundam was brilliant (and Tomino directed) and Seed wasn’t too bad at all (please don’t kill me for that).

As for the new series… if the pacifist organization are like the next version of the Three Ship Alliance from Seed then it will be crap. Personally, I think theres a chance of the organization actually being corrupt, or becoming corrupted like the Titans in the UC series. That would be good.

It will be worse than Wing but at least the boys are more pretty, but of course nothing would beat the prettiness of Jun Watarase piloting a mobile suit.
drm, wildarms loevs Anno so the point is moot here.

I have to agree to this too. I don’t even know why I’m still a Gundam fan after all these years. I can’t say that Gundam had been any good ever since Amuro and Char both bought the farm. Where are the manly passion and fights?!

(Okay 0080, 0083, and 08th MS Team were good, but they were all OVAs.)

The thing is, I feel compelled to watch this just to see how awful it will be. Although I did think the next Gundam series was going to be Gundam Pizza Hut.

2nd your opinion! Honestly, I’m expecting *nothing* from this series as I know it will suck. Most likely suck, hard.

Kind of funny you wrote this post as a friend and I were discussing how horribly bad Gundam 00 might possibly be. We were joking that they need to work on things called, say plot and character development before just making a new gundam series for the heck of. Ya know, create a series where while the gundams are helpful, they shouldn’t be the main draw and should only be used when necessary.

Yea, god forbid Sunrise creates a Gundam series like that.
