#gundam00 — Public Fediverse posts

is it just me or murroe from seed/sumeragi from 00 strongly come across as somewhat wannabe evangelion misato archetypes (to their big detriment)

though I do think sumeragi is far better executed (regardless of how she deserved far more time in the limelight to better flesh out her character)

FINALLY 00 closing thoughts, a few weeks late

echoing the ones I watched before it, 00 is another gundam entry I WANT to love but that didn't fully let me

the tone is comparatively dark and the morals grey, there's quite a lot of death around compared to the entries I watched before it, and the protags' faction's expressed goal of eradicating wars isn't presented as a simple, clean act that ends all suffering overnight with no consequences

the protags make for probably the best lineup I've seen in the franchise so far, there are echoes of themes brought up by older gundam entries like zeta, but also plenty of novelty, especially with their stated nationalities rather than the usual "born in colony #232", and with how they develop throughout the story

even outside of the protags, there are quite a few interesting types, between people ignoring the state of the world until they're hit by a very rough wake-up call, others struggling in positions they don't fit into, and more

though when it comes to main villains, 00 fumbles the ball.. pretty bad, I didn't find pretty much any of them particularly interesting and they tend to be quite clichey1

while not being a horrible character per se, graham is definitely the worst pseudo-char I've seen yet

his personality is just. completely wrong, he gets his ass kicked WAY too often for a char clone, and he adopts the goofiest ass alias in s2 which makes him even harder to take seriously

though I will say he is entertaining in regards to how he's lowkey sexual about fighting gundams and that's probably the one thing he most has in common to UC char

(1/6)

I ran across zone of the enders fanart and realized how much zoe's idolo is pretty much a proto-exia from 00

exceptional mobility? check
unconventional power source and propulsion mechanism? check
flip-out forearm blade? check
arm vulcan? check
armshield? check
vaguely V-shaped head? check

at last, got around to watching gundam 00 "a wakening" of the trailblazer after finishing the main show a week or two ago

not what I expected and in a good way!! it feels very different from 00 the show, I liked the glimpse into peacetime life (and the big gurren lagann reference at the start), the toying around with creepy, intentionally paranormal-looking ideas in a franchise that's usually pretty rigid with its realism was also super welcome

I'm super happy they backpedaled on the complexity of the gundams compared to 00 s2, I still prefer 00 s1's designs but the movie's aren't bad either

I felt one low point was the strewn out battles that quickly just turn into overwhelming visual noise, those could've definitely been cut down a bit

kinda anticlimactic (pre-credits) ending? I don't think that detracts much from the movie though, it's a good, sorta experimental cherry on top of the already good show 00 was

I couldn't be happier to say all ALL 00's endings have fully grown on me

my ranking goes something like ed3/prototype > ed2/friends tied with ed4/trust you > ed1/the one the back horn did

they're all very distinct (in ed1 to its detriment in my experience as I find the pacing too off in the full song, whereas in ed3 it makes for an INSANE song especially paired with the awesome still shots) and even the least out-there tracks are really great

haven't given the ops beside daybreak's bell a chance just yet but I'll get around to it eventually, for the time being I'm super happy with how 00 turned out as far as music goes, really awesome stuff

and that's WITHOUT getting into the endings' visual side, that was pretty much a progressive evolution from pngs moving around in after effects in the first one (no offense) to absolutely incredible shots in the last two

finally bothered to look up the namesake of 00's ptolemaios and turns out it's a greek given name meaning "warlike"

curious choice for the most prominent ship of a paramilitary organization meant to eradicate war, huh

#gundam #gundam00

quick slightly-over-halfway impressions about 00

I am liking it but I think as it goes on it cranks the hype a little too much, it's crazy well done hype don't get me wrong but hype it is still

I was expecting more resourcefulness when it comes to getting the plot out of sticky situations without suddenly bringing out plot armor

though I very much appreciate how nearly everything in 00 carries consequences, even when that plot armor does come it often does so at a clear cost to try and balance things out

#driftiniwatches #gundam #gundam00

anyway op1 remains my favorite so far

op2 feels a bit too much on the noisy side, it's fine but not as good as daybreak's bell

#driftiniwatches #gundam #gundam00

after a long week of break, I'm starting gundam 00

is it just me or this looks better than average for 2007??? I'm probably being gaslit by watching pre-2000s shit for the past half-a-year but still it looks quite good

they also made energy weapons that sound AND look good which is insane, Turn A has been topped at last

I do fw the religious references all over the place and I hope they're a synonym for peak just like in eva

ICYMI Yesterday on Quarantine Control on @damagecontrolblog, I wrote about The Substance. Horror movies aren't my thing, but this one was great. @Dio_Senrab wrote about Gundam 00, and CW talked about The Brilliant Hero’s New Life in the Shadows.

Here's one that was an unexpected challenge: the 2008 #HighGrade #Gundam Throne Drei from #Gundam00. The worst color accuracy I have seen yet; even with all its color correcting stickers it would have been mostly red. After a lot of color matching practice and some admittedly sloppy painting, I'm pretty happy with the result.

Definitely won't be buying any more HG kits from before IBO, though.

It’s been five years since I saw the first season of Gundam 00. I wasn’t aware I was accidentally following the time skip. Here’s to season two. (It’s been spoiled already, but I’m in it for the fun.). Yet, episode one of the second season has some modern vibes despite being fifteen years old.
