"easier to identify with" THAT is why i love gundam 00. Even though this is set in the far future, it is closer to our society than other gundam shows. I especially love the part in the movie ,before setsuna leaves to go to the ELS world, where he says "we all just want to live". That just resonates with me on a human and emotional level because despite our differences, its a solid fact and it honestly makes me tear up.

I picked up some new detail about characters for example how Feldt who i thought was big nothing burger is actually incredibly courageous in the hardest moments. Lyle who i thought was just Lockon replacement for marketing reasons has some of the show's most badass moments and his Anew substory was genuinely heartwrecking for me. Tieria's amazing development into a real human, Graham's descent into madness and redemption, Saji's and his tribulations. All around amazing stuff.

My first time seeing that fight I thought I had lost both my favorite characters, the feels! Then season 2 happened and one of them survived. But season 2 had ep 14 (I believe) where everyone came together to destroy all the debris, favorite episode :)

Gundam 00 is a goddamn masterpiece. From the soundtrack to the characters to the mecha designs, it nails everything. But the story is on a whole another level. The first Gundam to be set in our world, with a realistic representation of the future (except for giant robots), the middle east pushed into chaos as the world has transitioned to solar energy and the whole argument that conflict only causes more conflict. It used the original Gundam trophies (like newtypes, war, suffering and all that) in new, interesting ways and goes even beyond that. At the end you might find that its story is an antithesis to UC. The plot of Gundam 00 is (as you'll later find out): humanity can't go into space divided. We have to come together before that for the dialogues that will come with other species. Spoilers for those who haven't watched: I also wanna point the effort of the creative team into making aliens truly... Alien. I've learned as a kid that Silicon can also form bonds just like Carbon so other planets might have silicon-based lifeforms that would behave like NOTHING here on Earth. And, besides hard sci-fi the likes of Star Trek, Gundam 00 is the only one who managed to nail that. Aliens that aren't bipedal, aren't good, aren't evil, are just different and can't understand when they hurt us. As the final phrase of the movie (and my favorite quote from Einstein) says: Peace can't be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding. And that's the whole point of this series. Gundam 00 is not just a good Gundam or a good anime, is a good story in any media. Watch it with an open mind, even if you're not that much into Gundam or mecha. Until the end, movie included. You'll come out as a better person, I guarantee it.

The character writing in this series made me perpetually weep like a baby. Every time someone died, or expressed their grief for their fallen comrades...So good.

I could write a thesis about what Season 2 and the movie did, and how it was done well, despite what everyone says. But I'll leave ut at this. Season 2 was made to help demonstrate what happens when the general populance gets into a "war is terrible, but at least it's not happening to me" mentality, which was perpetually shown with Saji and Louise in S1. It does start to get preachy in that it tries to push the whole "we need to get off our ass and stop fighting to further our society and species" ideology, especially with the introduction of the ELS in the movie. But it does a good job of showing that people are all affected by war, no matter how much we want to believe it doesnt, with also adding in plenty of beam spam and green, magical, space dust into the mix. Also, it's probably yhe best way to introduce something like aliens without getting too campy and making them little green men. Also, Lockon's affect on everyone in Celestial Being is played out really well, including to the foreshadowing of it in episode 7 of the first season. Not to mentiom his quote "Setsuna, you have to change. I couldn't so you'll have to do it for me." Is one of the most powerful quotes I've ever heard, that is pretty much the main theme of the entire series. Not to mention it haunts me to this day since it's the last thing my own twin brother said to me on his death bed. Finally, i want to add it's probably one of the best dubs done for an anime that I've ever seen, and what keeps me watching Gundam dubbed rather than subbed even to this day with things like Unicorn, and my second favorite Gundam series, IBO. TL;DR Gundam 00's second season and movie are good, people who think it's silly or bad are just mean.

@muyangcheng3874

I have a slightly different view. The ultimate most important part of Gundam 00's story is in the movie, and the two seasons before it were all set up for the climax. While enjoyable and entertaining in and of itself, the two regular seasons will be just that if not for the movie to tie in every idea and message that the whole series was trying to convey.

Humble opinion here. Gundam 00 had one of the best OSTs I've ever heard in an anime. So intense, yet graceful.

00 was and will always be by favorite Gundam series. Heck, my fiancee and I are planning to have our wedding with Trust You as the music.

I think even though the gundam 00 movie, people say it is disappointed but I feel like it really is bringing a point about when Human needed to take a step forward, and really start on traveling around the universe. It's really important for us to Unite and to accomplish mutual understanding, just like Aeolia said in the movie. "Humanity must learn to use knownledge properly. If they don't they'll just rekindle the flame when they try to travel out into the vast world of space. That would be sad." That's my favorite line in the movie . People usually start conflict with prejeduice and stubborn, but little do we know that, if we just communicate, we would've realized how those thing can be solve easily. That's why we need to accomplish mutual understanding, a heart of being able to understand other people, or else stepping into the universe is nothing but a joke. Sorry for bad english

And so far, it's been worth it.

Gundam 00 is the most relatable gundam timeline/series I've ever watched. Globalist vs Nation-states, fuel/energy wars, ideological conflicts., idealist vs realist views. Our pursuit of going beyond Earth when even here we can't even initiate dialogue much. The ELS is not far too stretched given the context. The soundtrack, the production values. Man. I've rewatched it multiple times and still waiting for the next series to be like this.

I liked season 2 of Gundam 00 with its setup of characters who are friends/family/lovers who end up on different sides, and by learning to listen and to understand each other were those characters able to reconcile again.

To be a bit more accurate, the license expiration date of March 14, 2021, was the original expiration date when Harmony Gold gained the rights from Tatsunoko Production in 1984. This particular court case was Harmony Gold arguing that an agreement with Tatsunoko in 1998 gave them the right to continue exploit their derivative works (namely, Robotech) in perpetuity, but the court upheld that original agreed-upon date of March 24, 2021. The whole situation with the rights to Macross (and Southern Cross and Mospeada) can get a little confusing since Studio Nue and Big West also got involved at various points, but at the current time it looks unlikely that any of these companies will continue any further dealings with Harmony Gold in the future. The best news for Battletech fans, of course, is that it turns out Harmony Gold _never actually owned_ the rights to all those character and mecha designs that they've been suing everybody about. www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-09-14/harmony-gold-macross-mospeada-southern-cross-licenses-still-expire-in-2021/.121372

Gundam fan since the Toonami days with Wing when I was in 3rd grade. Have never seen Gundam 00 until I saw this video and purchased the Blu-Ray box on your encouragement. Thank You. It was beyond awesome. Really like the red light from the Gundam Thrones. Great video too.

Gundam 00 is perfect one to start on, amazing overall my actual favourite. Amazing Mechs, music, story, characters and setting.

Yep, just two civilian character that NOT gonna be important at all

I too remember looking for that video to re-watch it and couldn't find it

I got into Gundam a few months ago during a pretty shitty time in my life at the recommendation of a few friends. I've never been a big anime guy, but I grew up watching reruns of the original G.I. Joe and Transformers TV shows and have always liked animation as a medium to tell stories. I binged the majority of UC Gundam in a few months (Thunderbolt, The Origin, and 08th MS Team are my personal favourites), but I avoided watching any AU stuff for the longest time as some of the premises didn't really interest me. I ended up watching IBO and absolutely fell in love with it and its take on a lot of the various Gundam tropes (war is bad, newtypes, etc.) and decided to give some other AU content a try. I was completely blown away by the story of Gundam 00; I never expected the show to go from a pretty standard Gundam show to a massive space opera characterized by the indomitable human spirit triumphing over all. It's insane to me that the overarching plot is subtly built up over two seasons with all the lessons and character development during that time ultimately becoming the solution to a greater existential threat that's hinted at throughout the show. I finished the 00 movie last night and genuinely felt like it changed my perspective on life in some ways. Reading through discussion posts dating back 7-10 years I was surprised to see that so many people reacted badly to the second season and the ending of the movie. 00 by no means isn't a perfectly written show, but I feel like it takes a lot of the core Gundam ideas and elevates them to a completely new level. As I mentioned, I've been watching these shows while going through a pretty rough point in my life so I could simply be superimposing a lot of my own thoughts and feelings onto the show, but I genuinely believe that it is one of the most profoundly insightful pieces of media I've ever seen

00 is one if the few series that actually focus a lot on the politics and stuffs outside the UC universe, which is what Gundam was famous for....

00 was my intro to the Gundam franchise and i haven't been able to find one better. 00 is just great. It's so good. The characters are great. the Gundam designs are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The plot is Engaging and extremely entertaining. The way they make the Gundams feel like gods at the beginning of the first season gives me goosebumps.

Full circle! Your intro to Gundam videos was your first video of yours I watch, and got me to watch 00.

I'll always hold a soft spot for Gundam Wing, even though I've only seen bits and pieces.

My first gundam was Wing then Seed. Loved Seed.

Sure, perhaps we could do those things one day, but through the power of one particle that just came into existence? Nah. I've talked to multiple people i know who watched 00, even people that liked 00, and at no point in 00, did they ever explain how GN particles work nor how they were even made, they gained new powers whenever the writer needed something new to ass pull. 00 is not the most realistic gundam series, quite the opposite, they attempted to throw random science words at the viewer to confuse them and make them think it was scientifically possible, but nah, to do everything the GN particles do, all at same time is just pure bullshit. It is magic, nothing more, the feats are perhaps possible, but not through the same catalyst and not with 00's "science".

My favorite Gundam is between 00, Iron Blood Orphans, and Thunderbolt.

00 was the 2nd Gundam anime i watched after Wing. I found it really enjoyable. It is in my top 5 favourite series. Also, Harmony Gold has NO right to control if newer Macross anime are distributed outside of Japan. They only hold rights to the original!

I will defend the movie til the day I die. The questions it asks, albeit not necessarily well, made it absolutely worth it. Although it doesn't necessarily do it as well as say Fafner ultimately did, they were still good ideas.

I remember gundam 00 when bandai entertainment was around... My first gundam ever.

It's been 11 years since the series debuted, and it's maddening to think the 1st season's production quality (animation, post-production FXs, sound mixes, writing, acting, you name it) still hold the test of time, even by today's standard - not even the 2nd season did that. It even holds the candle against this year's animes, which has some of the most groundbreaking production quality ever, like Violet Evergarden, B:The Beginning, Hanebado, Hinamatsuri, etc. Yet in the same year, in comparsion Sunrise feels like their so far behind they're like from early '10s with shows like Build Divers. Guess i'm stil waiting for the day they rise back up and be a competitive leading-edge studio again, producing groundbreaking Gundam TV shows that will be talked about (by the audience, media, and the industry alike) for years to come.. :'(
