Kidou Senshi Gundam 00 (2025)

I don't remember what it was at first that drew me to Gundam 00, because I ended up in love with it all too fast, which is why I'll try my hardest to toss aside any bias.

I haven't seen any of the previous Gundams, I knew about them of course, but never actually sat down and watched them. Partly because 00 had a more sleek art style and partly because the instant contradictions within the plot and characters intrigued me.

This review may contain hints of spoilers, but nothing explicit and flat out.

STORY- The story is political, to say the least. Because this ...

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is yet another addition to Sunrise's long running metaseries Mobile Suit Gundam, as well as the newest in the line of alternative universe Gundams. In a franchise as big as Gundam, it's very easy to get overshadowed by predecessors and living up to the namesake of Gundam is tough. After so many series, it's hard not to recycle the same material and Gundam 00 is no exception. But its unique execution and incorporation of realistic issues going on in this world makes this a series worth checking out by both long time fans and newcomers.

Sunrise seems to have a habit of producing series that simultaneously contain things I really like and things I really hate. In the end, the question always becomes which there's more of.

STORY - Sometimes, it's easy to become jaded with the Gundam franchise; it's always another war and another group of over-powered mechs piloted by super-capable teenagers. Each series seems to have its own unique set of deviations though, and that's undoubtedly why the franchise has survived for as long as it has. In 00's case, it's interesting to note that there's no clear-cut war between two factions. The world's existing conflicts are a mix ...

maybe you've read it from somewhere or heard it before but let me state it again, Gundam 00 makes me reminiscent of Gundam Wing, one of the best Gundam series (in my opinion) with regards to story, character, and mechas.

However, Gundam 00 have developed its own form of respect that made it surpass some other Gundam series in its own field.

for one, this is the best series so far that excelled much in art style, making efficient use of modern day technology to improve the graphic quality of this anime. from the sleek coloring and the defined mech designs, i believe that this series reeled ...

I'm not going to compare Gundam 00 to any other of the Gundam series. Gundam 00 is the only Gundam series to not take place in an alternate universe, but instead takes place in the future of our own.

The year is 2309 AD. With the exhaustion of fossil fuels, mankind split into three power blocs to build orbital or space elevators, brining a never ending supply of solar energy to the earth. Despite this advancement, the three power blocs are still in a state almost equivalent to a Cold War, developing military technology to stay ahead of other power ...

Gundam 00 was the first Gundam series I've actually finished, and I actually found it very entertaining. Hearing about the failure of its predecessor, Gundam Seed Destiny, I initially approached this series with some apprehension, but that was all forgotten at the first episode.

Story: The plot of the story is...unusual. Basically, 299 years from now, there is a private military group main objective is for the eradication of armed conflict through their Gundams. Basically, to destroy war, they will fight it (Quite ironic) The story of Gundam 00 is filled with politics, and on average, an episode will consist of more than half the episode ...

Gundam Wing, Gundam G, Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny etc... There are so many gundam series out there so why bother watching another gundam saga?

Story:
Set in the year 2307 AD, Gundam 00 focuses on Celestial beings and their aim to eradicate war through force with the use of mobile suits known as Gundams.

Well, almost all people have a view of what the gundam story is like: aiming for peace and there’s mech to mech battle. This one has somewhat the same scene, but the only difference is that gundams in here are contradictory to what people think gundams should be. In here, the protagonists (gundams) ...

Quick Note: This review will occasionally mention references to other entries in the Gundam franchise for comparison's sake as well as quality of execution compared to other entries, while also making this review as friendly as possible to people who have no experience with the franchise. Please note that this review ONLY includes the first season.

I am also more than willing to answer any questions if any part of this review is not instantly understood by the readers. Anyway, onto the review.

The Gundam meta-series is a colossal franchise in Japan, not unlike the Star Wars or Star Trek franchises in the West. The franchise spawns ...

Gundam 00 is not what I expected it to be.

I have only a passing acquaintance with the Gundam franchise. My first encounter with it was Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, which I'm told is hardly a typical Gundam series (though it is exceptionally good, and one of my favourite anime series). A couple of years ago I watched Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, which was enjoyable enough but a little forgettable. So I had some slight idea of what Gundam entails, but no detailed knowledge and no experience of alternate universe versions like Gundam Wing.

So from that point of view, Gundam 00 is ...

I basically feel that this anime has enough reviews so I give a different one: The review your are about to see is mostly about the comparison of Anno Domini to the Cosmic Era. Why? It is the successor of the mega-hit Gundam Seed and GS Destiny. Fangirls/ boys may still demand cute lovey-dovey characters or enthusiasts might want a deeper and more unique plot. So I hope that this review may help people who watched GSD that included Gundam 00 in their "to watch" list and those who evaluating it.

Sometimes you shouldn't complicate simplicity.

Gundam 00 is a peculiar installment in its franchise. Being an introduction into the Gundam franchise for many a fan, myself included, it has arguably become the most popularly viewed entry besides Wing. One could say that the writers looked at Wing and decided to take some of the base elements of it to create their own story that touched on war-related issues of the current times. Then that same person could say that they probably should have followed Wing just a little more loosely given how convoluted and nonsensical circumstances regarding the main group became.

Firstly, if you've seen earlier Gundams (MSG, Zeta G, ZZ) and didn't like the plot in any of them, you probably won't like that of Gundam 00, either. You can still enjoy it if you keep your expectations low, though.

In the first few episodes, it's suggested that Celestial Being's actions are based on an ulterior motive, and many characters have hidden pasts that are revealed little by little -- and so, based on previous experience, you might expect (hope) Gundam 00 to have a "strong" plot. As it turns out, it becomes much weaker as the series progresses. The events ...

As a first-time Gundam watcher, i must say this show really is something.

Story: - 9.3/10 (A)
The story is about Gundam Meisters who work for Celestial Being (catchy name lol), a group who's main goal is to permanetly stop wars while fighting. Stopping war with more war? Well, it's odd but somehow interesting. We have Setsuna F. Seiei, the newest Meister and well, a cheery fellow. (His name means pain, ain't that perfect for him?) Next we have Hallelujah (Hallelujah!!! lol i had to do that), a Meister with an odd past. He has another side to him called Allelujah (Take out the H), a more ...

This review might be slightly different in the fact I haven't really watched too many Gundam or even mecha series' to really compare it to.

Story: I really enjoyed the story as a whole I like the way they purposely made Celestial Being a hypocritical reformation group in the fact some want to rif the world of terroism (Lockon he is Irish WTH that is a first) but they have to be terrorist to do that and the most essential piece of irony. To rid the world of war they need to start one up.

Art: Well this is Sunrise so they always try to ...

The only Gundam series that i've seen before Gundam 00 were Wing and Gundam G way back in the 90's. I am writing this review with the sole purpose of reviewing this anime itself, I won't compare it to any anime or any other Gundam titles because I believe that comparing an anime to any other title will ruin the purpose of reviewing only the anime wholeheartedly.

This series has many fantastic aspects, however it also has many terrible aspects. I do not even know where to start. I might as well start from the beginning.

One of the best episodes of the series is definitely the first, in which the Gundams come out of now where and kick some ass. From the beginning, however, we see was ultimately brings this series down: the gimmicks. The GM drives are just a gimmicky plot device, the solar energy system (even though it is pretty cool) seems very silly, and there are other things that leak through. There seems to be to much that the ...

When you think gundam, you think of people piloting cool mechs and blowing things up right? I'm not going to lie to you, that aspect is alive and well, but Gundam 00 is so much more than that.

The series starts out with gundams being gundams and sliding around tearing the world a new one. While you're paying attention to the action though, the characters are developed into real people with a legitimate reason to pilot a gundam and try to put an end to all the coflict in the world.

surprisingly my favorite parts of the anime were the parts that dealt the least with ...
