nugundamII Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 "Design" was always the weakest part of 00 in my opinion - it's like they like they took the specialized Gundam designs of Gundam Wing and toned it down a notch. I hope the movie delivers. Having rewatched both seasons, I definitely feel that S2 kind of ruined it. S1 was incredibly awesome and the first few eps of S2 were good, but then we got into stupid crap like CB fighting Memento Mori 3x times, and 00-Raiser pretty much flying around untouched and unscathed by anything. The high point of S2 was Tieria in a red dress. Yeah Im confused Is Tieria a girl??? She had a dress with boobs?? Maybe in the future you can change your sex like you would change your hair color Also I wish Animators would stop using all the colors in the rainbow for hair color. Blue, purple, yellow, green, black, brown, Beige, Fusha !
kanedaestes Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Tieria is a guy who just very closely resembles a girl. So add some padding and a dress and it is easy to have him come in as girl to the party.

VFTF1 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 What is it with Gundam pilots and cross dressing? Anyways - I wonder whether I should watch this anime... it's on my to-do list.... and it's a long long freakin' list! Pete

Anyways - I wonder whether I should watch this anime... it's on my to-do list.... and it's a long long freakin' list! Pete If you like Gundam and are not frp, the "UC is the only Gundam" school of thought - then you should watch the 1st season. Even though the Gundams are the heroes, there is quite a lot of moral ambiguity surrounding their actions, and at the end of S1 you might just find yourself cheering for the "evil" United Nations. The final confrontation at the end is truly epic and the end bittersweet for everyone, while leaving things just right for S2.... But Season 2 was just not as good in my opinion >_< .
VFTF1 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I can't be a bona fide UC is the only Gundam guy since I fell asleep to Char's Counter attack... I watched 5 episodes of Gundam OO. I like the opening theme music and the basic premise... but somewhere along the way I fell asleep to that too... I just couldn't watch any more... not when there was other stuff out there... I might return to it though... Pete
Ghost Train Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Blasphemy! You fell asleep during CCA ? (In retrospect though, some of the stuff in between is kind of boring) Anyways, regarding 00, I didn't like the first few eps, it got better for me as things went along. At first, it just seemed like a modern rehash of G-Wing.

Anyways - I wonder whether I should watch this anime... it's on my to-do list.... and it's a long long freakin' list! Pete Season 1 is original Season 2 is generic Hero Gundam. Greatly borrows from WING So my advice treat Season 1 as the entire show and pretend season 2 didnt exist
Fortress_Maximus Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) am i the only one that thinks the designs are looking like crap. The animation looks cheap too Nope not just you. I did not like the mecha designs at all. I really miss the details from old school mecha anime like Dangaioh OVA & Bubblegum Crisis OVA. And as for the character designs I just took it for what it was worth. Many content the modern animation is smoother but I personally I dislike the indistinct, bland character designs commonly found in modern anime. Regardless this is the future of anime for better or worse, so I am making the best of it. Also I enjoyed S1 much better than S2. Edited October 28, 2009 by Fortress_Maximus
Black Valkyrie Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Didn't they announce Tieria in a dress figure last summer, what happened to it.
wolfx Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 the video trailer of the upcoming movie Like everyone mentioned, i felt season 1 was pretty awesome....season 2 was....kinda absurd and disappointing. Don't get me started on the Trans-Am clones.

Black Valkyrie Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 The 00 Quanta looks organic like an Eva.

Ghost Train Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I like the Nendoroid-version better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtyaAEKj-yI It's like the S2 preview. Odds of Sheding a single manly tear of happiness: 47.234%
VFTF1 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Would you smack that :lol: Man - you can tell that it's a transvestite from a mile away. Transvestites always wear red dresses and black lingerie. At least all the newbie ones do - or the ones that sing in cheap tranny bars. But I really can't do anything but read you guys and take it all in... I haven't seen enough to think anything one way or another... Pete
Ghost Train Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Now that the poor guy is just a giant AI, I guess he can mutate his Y chromosome into a X whenever he wants.

Black Valkyrie Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Gundam Double O Movie New Gundam New Images.
Seto Kaiba Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Gundam Double O Movie New Gundam New Images. Bleh... I'll never get past how UGLY the Gundam 00 movie designs are. The only one that's not sinfully ugly is the 00 Qan[T], and that's just because it's a rehash of the GN-0000/7S 00 Gundam Seven Sword from Mobile Suit Gundam 00V. The rest... yuck.
wolfx Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Those are major kibble. Maybe they can combine for real into a gestalt this time.
azrael Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I'll wait till they show up on screen. Anyways, those look like the detailed lineart for the Gunpla. Well, except for 00 Qan[T].
shiroth Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Yeah, i'll keep my opinion for when i see them in action (and no the teaser trailer does not count ). At the moment all i care about is seeing more adorable Tieria, which i know is very unlikely. Edited December 21, 2009 by shiroth

Is there any particular reason why the Gundams in 00 just keep getting uglier with every iteration? the 00 gundams (hell all the mobile suits) were really cool at the start of the show, what the hell happened? If they need new designs for the movie they should have just recycled the ones form 00V (which made all the bland second gen Gundams look all badass) instead of this 'Gundam with extra boxes' crap
anime52k8 Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah, i'll keep my opinion for when i see them in action (and no the teaser trailer does not count ). At the moment all i care about is seeing more adorable Tieria, which i know is very unlikely. NO GOD DAMN IT!!! the hottest girl on the show SHOULD NOT be a dude. I resent 00 for doing that to my brain, and I resent them for killing the coolest dude with the coolest hair on the show then replacing him and his robot with inferior facsimiles (which the are now covering with boxes...)
Twoducks Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Well, I for one like the new movie designs. Makes the 00 universe more unique. Nice how they incorparate other grunt designs into the Gundams themselves.
azrael Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Speaking of which, SE II came out today (technically tomorrow). Looks like they cleaned a few things up and the preview for SE III shows some of the aftermath of the big battle from the series finale.
nugundamII Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 can someone describe the miraculous properties of GN particles. -interfere with tracking equipment -fuel source -Sheilds -Makes you into a Mutant superhero - Laser beams ??? Use GN laser beams and block it with a GN shield?? -Wireless Communication Device. What else -Beautifying Skin -Aphrodisiac -food source Seriously can they at least even try to make it a little bit plausible
eugimon Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 you forgot: regenerates tissue damaged by false GN particles. allows "quantimization" of mecha
Twoducks Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 ... and teleportation out of harms way. ... and flight. ... planetary reentry protection. You can probably get a nice tan with them too; they are produced by a "solar furnace" after all.
protostar8 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Wow, the designs definitely aren't the best. Disappointing to say the least. But with that much kibble on all the mechs, makes me wonder if they really do combine in some way? Maybe the action will be awesome though.
