all good things must come to an end...
no, im not talking about me being here, im talking about the grand culmination of Gundam 00.
i watched the last episode last week, and DAMN, it was good. this is the first time i've watched a whole Gundam series before it gets released in the West (Gundam X and Turn A Gundam dont count; they're NEVER gonna get released in english. Gundam 00 season one is already being aired in the US i believe) but it was so totally worth the hunting around for a place that streamed it online for free.
the series was big and bold, the first Gundam series to be shown in two seasons. The plot twists and turns were fast and exciting, the action and animation were beautiful (fun fact: unlike many previous Gundam shows that re-use alot of stock footage *coughSEEDDESTINYcough*, Gundam 00 didnt use ANY. not even for launch sequences. how cool is that?!)
this show, honestly, got better and better with each episode. i would watch one as soon as it was released and then lament that i'd have to wait a WHOLE WEEK for the next one! i was genuinely glued to my screen, on the edge of my seat. pure epicness...
The story line was fast paced, the characters were well written, the music was cool, the mecha designs were, admittedly, a little unconventional but they grew on you pretty quickly. and this all boiled down into the final two episodes, a lightning fast series of final battles with the very last battle between the Exia (the protagonist's Gundam from season one) and the 0 Gundam (whose design is a homage to the very original RX-78 Gundam from the original 1979 TV series). incredibly exciting stuff. and of course, next year in 2010, there will be a Gundam 00 movie released! and that will be the end of the 00 saga. it was pretty epic, and whatever Gundam comes next will have to work pretty hard to beat it!
of course, i do have one complaint. more of a niggle really.
WHAT THE HECK DO I WATCH NOW?!?!?!
last year when Season One finished, i had Macross Frontier to tide me over through the summer until 00 season two started up. but Macross Frontier was a single season only... there's no great (mecha) anime being released at the moment. T.T true, i am currently downloading ZZ Gundam, but its no comparison to 00 Gundam... ZZ is notorious for being one of the worst Gundam series ever. i could re-watch Turn A or Gundam X, or i could finally get off my butt, get a new DVD player and watch the original SEED, or Wing or UC shows again... i guess im gonna haveta do that. ^^;
and of course, we're only half-way through the second season of Shugo Chara...its no mecha show, but it should tide me over for another 25 episodes... :q
and i still have several models i wanna pick up. most notably 1/144 Seravee Gundam, 1/144 GN Archer and 1/144 0 Gundam. and might pick up a few more along the way. ^^
so yeah...i think im gonna be fine. heck, i might even get round to doing a bit more of my Original Gundam fictions. who knows?
well, thats all from me today. oh, to answer your question, Bunraku, i believe that picture was taken after my assistant manager's 3rd or 4th bucket of beer, though it quite easliy could have been taken when he was cold sober...he's that kind of guy. ^^;
well, thats all from me. till next time! (apologies for a post filled with nothing but Gundam...i'll try and think of more interesting things for the next few posts)
