Well it has been awhile since I did one of these and yes it was done on purpose I didn’t want to ruin the last 3 episodes with my ramblings so I left it till now with the series review and a huge gallery of images.
So what did I think of the series? I thought it was the best Gundam series in a while, I think Sunrise has got something with this split a 50 episode show into two 25 episode long series. It makes sure that things don’t get rushed and that the story develops. Not to mention an extra budget for each series.
Right Episode 23 – I really thought this was a generic episode I am dissapointed that A-Laws didn’t put up a better fight than they did, so I like to think of this episode as one huge pink explosion with some A-Laws pilot suits and Ahead wreckage thrown in.
Episode 24 – This was a good episode, the Trail system on the Seraphim was awesome, Innovators are awesome with a massive super computer helping them. Then Tiera dead but not dead and the term Innovado a lot revealed especially so late in the series, just like in Zeta which was previously my favourite gundam series now 00 takes that spot.
Episode 25 – Loved it, the showdown between Ribbons and Setsuna was epic to say the least, something I was waiting for since the end of Season 1. Ribbon’s Gundam was so overpowered though, i’m surprised he didn’t eat through all his GN Particles in the opening barrage while he was being supported, but no he didn’t and still had enough to use Trans-Am.
However the best bit was the O Gundam vs Exia a good battle would have been good if they had made it a slightly longer duel with the beam sabers. I also like the fact that Patrick and Kati got married, dunno why I felt so happy for him but I did.
Now onto speculation, the shot of Jupiter at the end followed by the 2010 statement that I couldn’t read. Will this be a new series or a film set after Celestial Being return to Jupiter to replace the lost G.N. Drives. Or will some other non-government organisation/A-Laws remanents discover how the real G.N. Drives work and go there to make them. Well only time will tell but for now relish over the gallery below.
I think the highlights of the last few episodes were. . .
-GunCannon-like unit
-Retrofitted Exia Blade onto 00, only to then have Exia and 0-Gundam fight
-PATRICK IS THE STRONGEST
-Tiera rape.
-Anew and Ribbons making a cameo in the end
-Lockon Stratos
-JUPITER = FUCKING DEEP
I really want the SEED movie to come out before 00…I know the writer/director or whoever got sick with cancer or something and all, but still… I also get the feeling that they’re gonna do some kind of huge innovation with the rest of the Celestial Beings, or bring back a lot of the dead people, cause its Sunrise.
