Wing put a bad taste in people's mouth so hardcore will always stick their nose up at boy band gundams.

Lock on being inexplicably replace by a twin brother was so lazy it's not even funny and the movie being absolute shit basically made the series look like a downward spiral in the grand scheme of things.

That being said I loved it. Best boys sick suits good shit.

How exactly was it a train wreck? I keep hearing people complain about the movie and while it's not perfect, it's like they never watched the fucking show.

Narratively? The groundwork was being laid for contact with alien life all the way back in season 1; the mystery surrounding Aeolia's Plan, the Jupiter mission, the true nature of the GN particles, all these things were purposely building up to the movie's scenario.

Thematically? the show beats you over the head pretty hard with its ideas about transhumanism, specifically the need to move beyond fighting with each other over petty issues like energy, land, religion, etc. when there's a much bigger (and more dangerous) universe out there.

Character? Setsuna develops from a closed-off kid with PTSD to someone who sees the beauty and value of human relationships, and he learns to pass on those values to others (and eventually the ELS). It's a perfectly suitable character arc for him and the writing never deviates from that.

As if that wasn't enough, some of the later episodes in S2 even OUTRIGHT TELL the audience what the movie was going to be about. You'd have to be clinically retarded to miss it.

Considering that it came right after Seed/Seed Destiny, the 00 disapproval makes sense in a way.
The show had its own original twist in design, characters, animation, world setting, tech, etc. It was following its own flow and style rather than depending on Anime cliches and refurbished points from older Gundam series.
The second season strayed towards these Gundam elements but still retained it's individuality.
The movie could've been broken up as a mini season 3 and explored the els, federation suits, world setting, celestial being, etc, but did a fine job summing it all up.
All criticism for the movie is either just shitposting or low tier "muh beam spam muh alien muh understanding ".

Speaking of symbolism, did anyone catch the context with the Exia Repair 2 vs 0 Gundam

>>15081489
I would assume that it represents Setsuna throwing away his ideal that gundam is god, given that he heralded them as such through all of S1 and some of S2. Meaning that he can't rely on the gundams to change the world, he'll have to do it himself.

Or something like that.

It's not the kind that you have to look through da Vinci manuscripts to understand, but it's kinda just there if you look for it.

Enacts were cutting edge and wouldn't have been in those wars. I think Flags were pretty new as well, but I'm less sure of that.

Hellions, Realdos, some MAs, and whatever the full-spec version of the Anf is called, though, sure.
>>
>>15082360
Not to mention there could be potential for early gen CB to be testing their shit.
>>
>>15082360
He thinks it's boring because none of those suits would be particularly high performance. Some of the best scenes involving grunts in 00 were when they were able to tangle with Gundams and live on to tell the story, like Graham's fights with Neil and Michael.

A solar war story would have to leverage the backstory of characters to be interesting because almost all mobile suit action would be slower than any of the S1 fights. There can't be any Graham special because it didn't exist until after the solar wars, and Sergei gained his "Wild Bear of Russia" nickname from the 4th solar war where mobile suits weren't used yet, so neither of those come into play if the focus is going to be on mobile suits in the 5th solar war.

I'm more interested in animated versions of parts of the the 00 sidestories rather than solar wars. We'd get to see some of the more varied designs and interesting fights involving stuff like the 1 Gundam. For those who aren't interested in the Innovades, Fon Spark, or more hidden Gundams, there's still cool bits involving other people and "exotic" MS design like 00V which is presented like a history book of various conventional and GN MS and speaks of the experiences of ace and test pilots.

>>
>>15082555
Solar wars is nowhere near "the backbone of 00", much less a sidestory. It's quite literally background fluff that they mentioned in passing to flesh out the setting. Why is it being essential to understanding the overall story? The last solar war took place 15 years before the start of the show, so why is it so relevant?

All we know is that there were 5 of them and that a few characters were a part of it. It's not even relevant to 00's plot other than that it's proof that the 3 power blocs are willing to go to war and are actively plotting against each other.

People complain about the flower at the end, the reasoning is that in the very limited psychic contact the ELS made with Setsuna, they understood "YOU'RE KILLING US" from his mind and the idea that in his head flowers=peace (because of his memories associated with them) So that was the best way they were able to communiate their intentions.

It's certainly the best Gundam show of the 21st century. And considering we're almost 2 decades in it says something about its staying power. Sunrise has never managed to top Gundam 00 + movie.

The only arguments are mainly "its not exactly the same as season 1 just more of it" as being the primary concern on why season 2 should suck. Which is ironic because the theme of 00 is not doing things the same, which is why its so innovative but /m/ wanted that same thing repeated as a second act verbatim.
>>
>>15090279
they repeated zeta plot
>>
>>15080974
I think it's something else.

There really isn't much difference between Destiny-era Kira and Celestial Being. Both go into battlefields to stop the fighting regardless of the situation without trying to discuss anything (stuff like what each side is fighting for or trying to accomplish), attack everyone with their vastly superior MS, and try to keep casualties down as best they can. In Destiny it's played rather idealistically, becoming a major reason to root for Kira. 00, on the other hand, tried to present the flaws of such actions. Celestial Being weren't treated like being righteous heroes by the world and eventually got their shit kicked in at the end of season one, paving the way for their growth in the second season.

So, what does that say about Kira? That his philosophy is flawed and people realistically wouldn't accept it, People would try to go after him like he was the villain. And that's why I think some SEED fans don't like 00, at least the ones I know that like to shit on the Meisters. They recognize this somewhere in the back of their head.

>>
>>15090769
Thats the issue with S2, they don't clean up at the end instead they just do what they were going to do from day one. Force their beliefs onto everyone else, strippping freedom from people in the name of peace. Such shit only works if they are perfect and flawless which they are far from considering the shit Ribbons pulled. VEDA's still manipulating shit behind the scenes etc. Then the movie comes along and gives the message of humanity can't do shit but a hyper autistic child soldier who replaced his god with a robot can do anything.

They did do some side story stuff about the last actual humans trying to rebel against going extinct in favor of innovation but they promptly ruined it with S2 style black/while only morality and made them utterly evil and irredeemable for daring to reject CB's path.
>>
>>15091433
>Force their beliefs onto everyone else
Except they don't. Tiera explained the goal of the reborn CB quite clearly: to destroy the A-Laws (and by extension the Innovators), not interfere with the Federation. Even the "Quantum Burst" event at the end of S2 did nothing to change the fact that they were still considered criminals by the world, which carried on into the movie.

Which doesn't amount to absolute shit since that's forgotten and they're still not arrested by the end of the movie, its just another wasted aspect because they wanted CB to appear gray while not wanting to go through with them actually paying for their actions because without them everyone would have been fucked by aliens apparently.

Their beliefs changed throughout the series. That's why they got 4 year hiatus. They already know the things they did from day one did not work.

>Then the movie comes along and gives the message of humanity can't do shit but a hyper autistic child soldier who replaced his god with a robot can do anything.
In reality, humanity is doomed if such aliens happened to come near earth. And you can only take offense if you do not watched Setsuna development through the series.
>>
>>15091990
> they're still not arrested by the end of the movie
They were already persecuted at the end of season 1 and hunted down for 4 years. Whatever shit Ribbons pulled, they clearly don't have a hand as it became clear to everyone as S2 progress. They are pardoned in S2 because they produced a spark that lead people (military esp) to stand up to the atrocities the government did in the name of world peace.
>>
>>15092962
>They are pardoned in S2
They weren't. Kati said that they would have to answer for their crimes before the final fight against Ribbons and again she told the military to keep an eye out for CB before her wedding. Nothing states that they were ever pardoned but it doesn't matter since the show threw out any aspect of gray after the first season.
>>
>>15092962
>They were already persecuted at the end of season 1
They only captured Al everyone else escaped so they weren't persecuted.
>>
>>15092988
Kati said that they would have to answer for their crimes before the final fight against Ribbons
The only time they could have been arrested was during the end of S2. They weren't. And it's reasonable for Kati to be on the lookout even if CB is pardoned because they are still an organization with weapons on their side.

>since the show threw out any aspect of gray after the first season.
If you think S2 is going to be gray after S1, I don't know if you are watching.
1) Ribbons took over the world after S1. We know about his personality at the end of the season. He disposed both Alejandro and Trinity after they have served their purpose. There is no way he'll let any loose ends stay. That's why we do not see the world leaders in S2. They represent identity with the blocks, and that's one obstacle with his world domination.

2) CB at mid season learned about how dark their ideologies can go and that's not the way they wanted to operate anymore. After S2, they barely make any interventions.

>>15092993
Destroying them back in season 1 isn't persecution. Right.
>>
Absolutely. Give it a try. Good plot that gradually builds decently. There is plenty of action to go around. I liked the second season better than the first. After you watch both seasons, be sure to watch the movie 00 trailblazer. Personally I liked it better than seed

Uh...I never thought that its just disappointing all the same that a show that was trying to do something ultimately failing to do so. Thanks for the pointless recap though didn't exactly disprove my argument.

Season 2 was better than season 1.

Season 2 had actual stakes, and the tension in every battle was much higher. Celestial Being wasn't this invincible force of destruction anymore, and instead had actual agency as characters. The antagonists in S2 were a bunch of fags who always had the upper hand, and it was great to see them get killed (webm very related), as opposed to the not-really-antagonists of season 1 who were just a buncha soldiers doing their jobs.
>>
>>15094605
>Celestial Being wasn't this invincible force of destruction anymore

I quite liked this though, because it made their opponents come up with different tatics for taking them on, since they couldn't do so head on.

And watching Col Smirnov and Graham stand up to the Gundams while piloting inferior suits was cool.

But you're right that the second season had actual stakes, and a lot more tension.
>>
>>15091433

>>15091433

>Such shit only works if they are perfect and flawless which they are far from considering the shit Ribbons pulled.

Except their plan did work, the world was united under a single government. The problem was that the plan got hijacked by Ribbons and Alejandro, who were both narcissistic megalomaniacs. Post-S2 Earth Sphere Federation is the pacifist government that CB hoped to realize with their actions in S1. VEDA, except while under Ribbon's influence, had always been using its information manipulation capabilities to better the human race as a whole. It got the countries to unite under the three power blocs in S1 (the proto version of the ESF), give up development of nuclear tech, and push for the development of the solar power and orbital elevator system.

>They did do some side story stuff about the last actual humans trying to rebel against going extinct in favor of innovation but they promptly ruined it with S2 style black/while only morality and made them utterly evil and irredeemable for daring to reject CB's path.

The new humans had longer lifespans, better reflexes, and were able to utilize telepathic communication to resolve conflict. Some idiots were racists and thought that was a bad thing. Seems like an open and shut case to me. Everyone was eventually going to be replaced by Innovators anyway, seeing as how the catalyst for it was exposure to Trans-Am GN particles, which even the "old humans" were utilizing, ironically.

Because Sunrise gave a shit and this is the last main TV series they bothered with putting actual production budget to get the highest sort of animation values possible until G-Reco showed up almost a decade later. Now Sunrise is the Nu Toei, which is why shows have been declining leading to more QUALITY and lower budgets.

Just you wait, the series after IBO will probably be Digimon XROS Wars level bad.

>>15095887
00 used GN blade-rifles, which are just really upgraded versions of Exia's GN Sword with the GN gun part not a separate mode in it. Setsuna still liked slashing and fighting close range but his older age and experience meant he was more comfortable also hanging back at distance using range weaponry over obsessively always going in close for the kill.

On top of that, the A-Law pilot only likely had the data and reference information on the outdated Exia which is why he probably assumed he could defeat it in close combat. That said, grunts in 00 are still top tier.

Well, they were, until either the final battle in S1 or the opening few episodes in S2 depending on your viewpoint, wherein they lapsed back into what a typical Gundam grunt is, which is a faceless nobody surrounded by other faceless nobodies meant to die by the score to technologically superior adversaries with token resistance at best.

00 is a pretty good series. I'd put it at the top for non-UC series. 0079 is probably my favorite series, then the ZZ. Zeta has too many frustrating characters but definitely a good story. Unicorn is real up an down in quality but overall a decent series. I've not seen Victory Gundam Gundam X or all of ZZ. Turn A I saw the movies and that was really enough of that for me.

The MG Exia is a personal favorite of mine, and I would recommend it more than the MG 00 Raiser. I've built 2 of the MG 00 Raiser and they're not difficult, but aesthetically less pleasing than the Exia. Order yourself extra waterslide decals for the 00 Raiser if you do. I would suggest getting a 00 Seven Swords too, based on it being a much more fun and attractive build.

Writing is hogwash and it wouldn't be such a problem if the show didn't take itself so fucking seriously while shouting cheesy one-liners like "Ore ga Gandamu da" with such a straight face. IBO has a lot of problems but its relative groundedness is what I like about it over 00's tone deafness

Narrative and characterization is so fucking distant like the show tries its hardest to not make you care about the characters at hand other than the audience surrogate (Saji) that it makes sitting through non-battle scenes a chore, the only other Gundam series with this problem was Wing.

It feels like a Gundam series made for the sake of being "different" rather than something that just so happens to be so hence why we wound up with AYY LMAOS in the movie. And no "Dialogues to Come" is not a viable reference point for Aliens and never will be.

As this >>15100566 00 came out in a time where idiots were acceptable to anything but it aged almost as badly as Death Note did where the teenagers singing praises for it then are now full grown adults embarrassed to be seen watching it. To give credit where credit its do unlike AGE and IBO "at least they tried" to dish out the best they could do with it instead of just letting it turn to shit like SEED/SEED Destiny. Show still manages to look good even now and its aesthetics can be considered among the best in the franchise at least the first season, at this saying a Gundam series has good music is like saying water is wet since very few entries have bad scores, and as dumb as 00's ideas were they at least went through with it unlike AGE and IBO. Is it the best Gundam? Far from it. Best AU? Nope. But it was the last time the Gundam TV committee gave us an honest effort (GBF is a blatant toy commercial and as good as it was they didn't really have to think hard about it and G-Reco is from Tomino who's always hands on with his work trying to die down as much committee influence as possible)

Hell yes, some of my favourite scenes of the top of my head are when the ptolemy gets shot up (although wasn't this S1?) and the destruction of heaven's tower.

As soon as the Pseudo GN-Drive technology was released to the world things went rapidly downhill for Celestial Being, every mook could basically go toe-to-toe with the Gundams and they were constantly on the back foot having to pull guerrilla operations, while also dealing with the fact they were basically the cannon fodder of "the plan" and were expected to be killed off ages ago.

The 00 recap movies don't make a lick of sense unless you've watched the TV series (e.g. the first movie tries to cram the entire first season - 25 episodes of plot - into 90 minutes). You can imagine how well that works out.

Every time anyone mentions that the actual concepts introduced into the series are retarded and absurd propositions for any semblance of a resolution, people are just like "but the show explained what those retarded concepts are. the retarded concepts were foreshadowed." as if it makes them any less retarded.

>There really isn't much difference between Destiny-era Kira and Celestial Being.
CB's actions were done explicitly to piss people off.
Aeolia's plan was to have them aim all the world's political frustrations at CB, take them out, and then form a United world gov't.

And that was just the start of the plan.

Why do people like this show? The protagonists were boring and their ludicrously overpowered Gundams had zero chance of losing until the last couple of episodes (and even then, just barely). Every obstacle was overcome through some new techno-magic bullshit asspull. Veda was the worst plot device I've seen in a while, both in concept and in execution. The fucking "antagonists" were the best part, at least until season 2 shit the bed. Not to mention one of the worst Char clones to date. And to top it all off, everything that happened was part of a ridiculous 4D-chess plot to get us ready for fucking First Contact. Because clearly if there was one thing Gundam needed, it was the Borg.
>>
>>15080617
That has nothing to do with the quality of the show. Haruhi's irrelevant now because they stopped adapting material. Monogatari would have met the same fate if SHAFT hadn't kept animating every single novel over the years. It'll come back eventually, just like Code Geass and every other thing that gets revived once nostalgia for it becomes profitable enough.

Ribbons was an asexual creature, since innovades had no need for reproduction (excluding anew, who was mentioned to be a woman i.e having a vagina), so Ribbons most likely had this obscure hole for urination that Alejandro froliced in on an almost daily basis.

Innovades have both male, female, and even asexual "genders". Ribbons was clearly a male, just like Hillings and Anew were clearly female and Tieria was neither.

Pretty sure Hilling was genderless as well. Translations from the novels/supplementary material mentions that she uses fake breast pads to pad up her chest. lol

>Ali Al-Saachez
God forbid you make comparisons between wars in Gundams and wars in reality, heh? Some religious leaders are true fanatics. One guy 160 years ago in China thought he was the younger brother of Jesus and had visions for his country, and he led a rebellion that led to 20 million deaths. Other leaders just use religion to gather people, but they go against it in private, by e.g. consuming pornography and alcohol, in the case of Islam. Whatever the case religion is more a tool than a goal. When people have money and a government that's not too corrupt and too oppressive, people just go on with their lives. When that's not the case, people gather in churches/mosques/temples etc, some guy comes out of that to lead people, and whatever rebellion ends up being in the name of religion instead of the more abstract concept of a better quality of life. Ali just wants to fight. Surely he has some level of faith, but the one thing he believes is that the people in front of him must be defeated.

To be fair to Destiny, the show initially presents Kira's interventions as being less-than-heroic (the sinister appearance of Freedom in the OPs and when it diced up the Savior, Kira's role in Heine's death, complaints from Athrun and Shinn about Kira's behaviour). However, that's completely forgotten once Kira takes back the MC spot, and suddenly everything Shinn thinks or says is wrong. That's how we ended up with the silly situation where Kira inadvertently lets an international terrorist get away because 'muh Orb'.

It was Bandai's first show to be animated natively in HD and so they spared no expense to make sure it blew everything else that was airing at the time out of the water visually (and it did).

I remember there were articles from producers of other shows complaining that not everyone had the budget of 00.

Thanks for the response.

I'm the guy who usually makes a bit of a deal out of Destiny's message of "question your leaders," saying that the show begins presenting him in an overly romanticized light but it really wants the audience to question his team's actions rather than blindly follow along. Sure, Kira comes across as Jesus in that final stretch but going by the show's message the audience is supposed to think about what he's doing and questioning whether it's the right thing. It's a fun little way of seeing Destiny, arguing Kira is the real fallen hero of the show. It even explains Fukuda's quote about Team Archangel going off the path of justice.

Now, I don't believe this is what Fukuda intended. Going by some of his interviews, the man just expects the audience to take things at face value. And the fact of the matter is, there are a bunch of fanboys who act like he does nothing wrong during the series. People still refer to him as a pacifist despite his actions being the literal opposite of pacifism and the show implies he's ready to fight anyone who starts shit. SEED was a big boost for Gundam and what Destiny unintentionally promotes can be very dangerous in a young mind. So that could be why 00 appears to have been created to combat it.

I think one of my favorite moments watching Destiny was that episode where Kira attacks the space port so Lacus can steal the shuttle. I was watching the Remaster on youtube and guys were calling him out on being a terrorist in the comments. Those people get it, but the kids who watched Destiny probably didn't.

In-story explanation:
>MILF Nena in the movie was the 'source' of (or a descendant of) the genetic material used to create Nena Trinity
>Likewise, Aeolia has a friend called "E.A. Ray" who was the genetic source of Ribbons
Real-life explanation:
>Nena's seiyuu was very popular at the time, so they made up MILF Nena to justify her having a role in the movie, given original Nena was dead

>>15150697
>big boobed chick

I know you're talking about Sumeragi, but that explanation narrows it down to every female character in S1, bar Nena and Marina
