Flaccid.
Sherman was wrong war isn’t hell, it’s a fashion show! Sunrise sure knows best because they actually fought a war and won numerous battles for the Emperor of Japan. Oh wait…
Well this just keeps getting more insane and nonsensical with every episode. While the fashion show will be lauded across the blogosphere not one person is going to question where the money came from to pay for all of it. To be sure the wardrobe change was long over due however sorry Sumeragi but your mammary glands have started to sag. It also sucks to know that you have been broken in by Billy. Billy of all the guys you could have spent your time with you chose Billy?! Had Sumeragi not looked passable with a bra I would tell grandma to GTFO. In any case I get it her gazongas are huge and they sag. Seeing it once is more than enough now I hope grandma will respect herself and never do this again. Let Ms. Wang be the eye candy by putting the two together it is clear that Sumeragi is not going to win any beauty contests anytime soon. Last I heard 30 was wasn’t moe. Billy, pony tail Billy?!
For just 5 cents a day Christina could have fed and clothed a starving child, but looking fabulous comes first.
So CB finally seeks to crush competing PMCs in order to ensure the health of the clothing budget. Oh and a few token upgrades to the Gundams as well, though my Nazi gold theory seems more plausible with the passage of time. That or Ms. Wang is the world’s #1 prostitute raking in billions per massage.
Ali Serges is right CB does not really give a damn about the people only their vaunted cause, they are worse than communists, at least commies try to improve life for a segment of the population. CB however just beats them up and leaves the rest to starve. Apparently for CB an economic collapse is a good thing. You know if Moralia does collapse its going to be bad for every one near there and any country within their striking distance. Poor people with only guns tend to end up as criminals and pirates, however as long as they never declare war CB is more than willing to over look a petty crime wave and the obligatory spike in incidents of rape, its what Sunrise calls progress.
And like that cheap wine you won’t age well either, captain.
Oh, AEU what ever happened to just letting countries join your federation? There is no need for an Anschluss just have Moralia sign the papers submit to parliament and be done with it. All Moralia has to do is put up its military inventories for sale, which the AEU will buy up, and renounce mercenary warfare. Much more peaceful than a joint military exercise and if CB does intervene in a repentant Moralia public opinion will be in your favor. However such is the sad state of statecraft in the AEU no Otto von Bismarck has stepped to the fore yet. Its sort of funny how the AEU wants its place in the sun but its not an Entente that’s blocking their ambitions but a self righteous PMC. I can’t beleive Sumeragi thinks that a country would quietly cease to exist without fuss, once again she forgot Poland. Also what is up with the hate for PMCs? PMCs don’t start wars nations do, PMCs just get rich off it. A PMC can’t be its own pay master…Sunrise. Just like how you can’t just print money to reinvigorate an economy.
What a terrible Valentine’s Day gift, and Saiji did not even make it himself no less!
Tieria just has to die, I demand his head for his insolence and pink cardigan. What a mother fucker gee you aren’t fit, you aren’t worthy. Good grief he’s like that obnoxious fat kid that no body likes and he’s not even funny. I hope Tieria pilots Gundam Fatty until his death. Mariana goes to France to get some technical assistance but the days of France giving away nuclear reactors to anyone with cash are over. Still the French sure are generous giving food to Mariana’s charity case. Logic fails Mariana yet again, sure she can’t get French technicians to come, but how about sending some Azadistani students to become technicians? Really Queenie gives up a bit to easily and no doubt Exia will become the savior of Azadistan soon enough.
So does this series!
Poor Patrick can’t catch a break he’s the shows’ whipping boy and its starting to get old quick. Hopefully this Ali al Serges is going to form an A team for the AEU to take on the Gundams. The Bridge bunnies are also suitably dense, going shopping before the war? Really I could understand if it was for some extra combat knives, a new multi-tool, snazzy gunsights, laptop, Nintendo DS, PSP, calling cards and the like, but tops and skirts? Christina’s hacking skills are suspect only by the grace of Sunrise plot holes could she hack into a system of an armed force that she has never looked at in the course of 3 hours or less. Christina you are retarded and you didn’t even costume rape Felt properly or bite her ear. Sorry but this one is certifiably stupid, I wager that she is going to get her Darwin award before the end. She doesn’t even realize how much the price increases after every intervention have affected everyman…that callous bitch.
Before you continue just so that you know Sumeragi is a lesbian, and your pony tail doesn’t make you a woman Billy goat-san.
I am still not sure how Ian Vasty got that big old truck to the deserted island without being detected, I saw nary a dock or LZ on that island. That goddamn Billy, the fucking Jap has no sense of operation security. Billy goat goes on and on about his unit and what it does and even mentions names of notables within the unit. Good grief how did this fucker get his security clearance? You worthless Jap giving away state secrets and you didn’t even get any action?! Hell you don’t even have to torture Billy goat you just interrogate him while he wanks off. Thank goodness Eifman doesn’t tell him every thing. Still I wonder if this incident they speak of was when Billy goat assaulted Sumeragi ala Macross Plus. I hope “strategic planner” is a euphemism for stripper in the 2300s because I don’t forgive traitors who have forsaken volk and fatherland. Suffice to say Sumeragi is probably going to bed Billy goat for information. However feel free to prove me wrong, Sumeragi. Let’s see if wisdom correlates with age.
Dearest Mariana if you come back with some energy aid, Shirin will give you a gohobi. Yep a nice sweet wet gohobi. Oh and Phantom Hourglass for you DS.
Ms. Wang shows off a new hair cut and reveals that her bordello has some high tech stuff. However no HDTV was in sight nor was the deluxe room shown. Once again the Gundams pwn everything Dynames hardly has to aim to kill stuff and all Gundam Fatty has to do is point is mega beam in one direction for the peons to walk into it. Really now what the heck why aren’t these professionals fighting like professionals and trying to use combines arms instead of gangster tactics. I get it japan you think Yakuza tactics are teh shitz…Thank goodness the PRC hasn’t got the naval power to fuck you up yet. Yakuza tactics? Please South Korean uber micro could kick you ass any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Patrick gets blown off once again, but Ali really messes up emo altar boy Setsuna. I can only hope Ali is going to sick around for a bit to pwn Exia.
Behold the mega fart of Exia!
I am most saddened by the absence of Soma. Well hopefully she will be able to avenge herself upon Gundam Fatty. While I bemoan the preponderance of Exia air time I do agree that he is the weakest pilot of them all. At least next time we get to see Setsuna get beat up and tossed to the ground. I wonder if Tieria is gonna rape him…
Sumeragi, I had high hoped for her but now she’s just a lesser service character. I am obliged to tear holes into her logic and mock her strategies and predictions. Here’s to a commander of the Union/HRL/AEU who is as salty as Patton, and brilliant as Spruance. May whoever this person is humble the Gundams and humiliate Sumeragi.
Aww…doesn’t she look line a princess? Hey wait Sergei, don’t you dare. Stop puckering this instant!

cripes…
you think this series would survive for the 2nd season, as sunrise has planned it?
haaa…
i need code geass…
Sumeragi’s cleavage…..I’m not believing I’m saying this but THIS was the only thing I hated in G00….
But she will come back pounding because of the “incident” issue where she was a planner.
Now it’s clear that Louise would never be with Saji. This guy is hardo-gay for Setsuna. I mean, what self respecting man trying to establish a friendship with another man brings him bento and a smile. NO and NO. You bring beer and raw meat for the grill and maybe some pr0n.
I wholesomely agree that someone should pimp slap the emo out of Tieria and Fat Gundam needs to do some Tae-Bo or whatnot instead of being the space couch potato.
The military incompetence of the opposition is starting to piss me off. Read Sun-Tzu or some other war manual to come up with more engaging fights, not the 5 seconds Gundam pwnage. And who in their right mind having an entire weapons cache at your disposal chooses to charge in with knives. I would much rather have stormtrooper effect shooting that banzai knife charge. History indeed seems to have a weird way of repeating itself.
1. While watching this episode, I was forced to scream BREASTS! every two to five minutes. Clearly the future holds some serum that produces voluptuous breasts in every woman.
2. The pink-haired girl looking up wikipedia through her gaming handheld was lol. Either that or she is a relative of Yuki Nagato with a fetish for the Nintendo DS. Looking back, I was surprised her DS wasn’t pink.
3. The ‘upgrades’ were at best laughable. Deathscythe Dynames? Is this the best idea R&D could come up with? Sunrise might as well just give the Obese Gundam some wings and the Jesus Gundam those dragon fangs off the Nataku Gundam and re-enact Endless Waltz already. Really, they couldn’t have just FEDEX’d those Exia swords?
4. I find chokers to be refreshing, attractive, even bold. However, a sovereign leader wearing a choker mashed with some semblance of a French wardrobe just doesn’t feel proper for international diplomacy. Nut unless Mariana wants to negotiate aid packages for her ’services’.
5. About those PMC suits charging at the Exia Gundam with daggers: not even Leo pilots from Gundam Wing were dumb enough to melee with the invincible five. I’m expecting a recap episode around #10-ish to be 20 minutes of the Exia performing gymnastics and getting a 9.0 9.0 10.0 score from the Big Three. Sunrise should just make the last five minutes of every show its own segment, titled “Gundam Porn”.
6. It continues to amaze me how Sunrise continues to mock the West, with Old Glory hung wrong on the flagpole, President Brian using a 19th century telephone for international diplomacy, white women using Jessica Simpson as a standard for proper cleavage size and fashion priorities in times of crisis, and ‘ace pilots’ acting like drunk cowboys with their zippers open.
7. The Saiji stalking is really grating my nerves. If Tieria is bad, Saiji is an unbearable anomaly, like that stalking nerd girl that keeps being disturbingly wierd. Knowing Gundam Seed, Saiji will probably become a Newtype psycho pilot later on with a hard on for the Exia pilot.
8. You’d think any of these points would qualify for ‘most ridiculous highlight’ of the episode – but what really stood out for me was Sunrise’s perception of PMCs. Thieving ideas from MGS aside, their illustration of the operations of PMCs was lol-worthy when they showed the initials PMC stamped on every box container used by Gundam00’s PMCs. I know they explained this later on, saying the PMC that was being attacked was just called PMC somethingsomething, but really now – this is really the laziest effort I can remember in the post-UC Gundam era towards a Gundam show.
Insane and nonsensical? I beg to differ, good sir!
G00’s got the staple features that make an anime awesome: chicks, boobs, and explosions. What more can you ask for?
Now excuse me while I go watch this episode again for the boobs and lulz.
I don’t mind the boobs, insanity and nonsense in my animu at all. I do think Gundam 00 takes it self seriously (much like Geass did most of the time….but 100x worse), which makes me laugh at the show more then I should.
Code Geass tried to be serious but knew that no viewer would take it seriously. What they did was upgrade the seriousness to the point of exaggeration. Nobody took it seriously, but we all had great fun enjoying and waiting for the next episode.
Gundam 00 wants to be serious and wants us to take it seriously. That’s were the problem lies. The plot is one BigMac version of current world events and politics with a side serving of large fan-service fries, and 48oz. of Gundam Sunkist juice. Also, don’t forget the free choice of Gundam Bible, set of eCarbon cross with nails, or limited edition greasy bush and 10 Gundaments plate with every kids meal. ++ WARNING: parental supervision required to set the bush on fire. ++
Sumeragi’s cleavage had me smiling for quite some time.
I liked Gundam W more… although its a bit obsolete…
@rollchan
Has there ever been a bad Gundam that did not take up a second season? I am sure if failure seems imminent the cast of Seed is going to be brought back in…
@Extrange
The more I think about it Sumeragi looked desperate throughout. She drinks like a fish and dresses like a 5 dolla she love you long time hooker. The woman has issues I can sense it, she went out with Billy goat for heaven’s sake!
@physics152
Yep Saji sucks with gifts, no doubt he’s going to try every episode. I am betting on tamago next.
As for what Sunrise needs to read the need more than Sun Tzu, they need On War, Achtung Panzer, Mao’s treatise on Guerrilla warfare, and Rommel’s Infantry Attack. The knife banzai just killed me professionals my ass not even the French are that retarded.
McSunrise indeed.
@Soulshard
Yeah stealing ideas from MGS is down right wrong, at least Kojima Productions know what a PMC is and how they would fight, Sunrise just takes a look and proclaims the knife as the ultimate weapon in the universe.
At least Mariana got free food for a starving nation for a choker. Sumeragi showed off her goods and got Billy…
@Kyokii
Moar Soma less sagging.
@anne
Yes its so bad its awesome.
@Leon
To each his own. I have a nagging suspicion that we will be seeing them again in the War is a Beach ep.
Billy?! Are you shitting me, Billy?! Now I know that back in the day that rack of hers was magnificent before it was overcome by gravity, so I think that she could have been shacking up with someone better than Billy. But man, if all it takes is a saggy rack to get Billy to spill his new secret assignment, I wonder what she can get out of him later with some action upstairs.
And yeah once again, the tactics used by the people attacking the gundams were uh, really really pathetic. Simultaneous attack, combined arms, ranged support, close air support, anything ringing a bell guys? I’m sure in the 300 years between now and then you coulda come up with some strategy against a little emo kid standing in one place.
@Lord Crusader
errr…Gundam X? but its only with time schedule (aired in AM) in Japan wayback its inception in 1996 that it failed. anyway, who cares…
ahh…you just continue with your graceful reviews, keep it up. =P
@rollchan
really? i thought it was pretty evenly bad all through and through with bad character and mecha designs…
I don’t watch this anymore, but this comment made me laugh.
“WARNING: parental supervision required to set the bush on fire. ++”..
And trust me to think of something wrong
Crusader I finished your pic: http://hinan0.deviantart.com/art/It-s-Over-9000-Winner-69762091
@Hinano
That pic rocks, great job =)
@Tenryu-san
well, Gundam X has a good (i dunno about the jap audiences back then, that it became too unpop) storyline. as I’ve read in wikipedia, to quote: “The series was canceled after only 39 episodes due to falling ratings driving off all the show’s sponsors. The series started of with 6.2% of the viewing audience watching, which eventually fell to 4.3%. The series was eventually moved to a 6 am slot on Saturday morning, with only 0.6% of the viewers watching the final episode.”
but…
The side story manga Gundam X: Under the Moonlight, released as a tie-in with the DVD release of Gundam X, proved popular and was extended from its initial run of six chapters.
anyway, I love Gundam X. =) LOLz! xXx :-bd

Code Geass tried to be serious but knew that no viewer would take it seriously. What they did was upgrade the seriousness to the point of exaggeration. Nobody took it seriously, but we all had great fun enjoying and waiting for the next episode.
————–
That is totally true. I did mean that Geass wasn’t as serious. I freaking love Lulu because he’s so fabulously fabulous. I think everything he does is halfway amusing, even if I’m supposed to think he’s this bad ass Light like character. Gundam 00 is all SRS BUSINESS right now and going to tell the a war story as it’s meant to be told and everything. I can’t be assed to care about it for the most part.
2nd season of Gundam 00? It’s not doing bad enough not to finish it. But Gundam SEED is the only Gundam not in UC that actually got a direct sequel. I don’t think Gundam 00’s 2nd season is a true second season anyway. It’s just finishing the last 25 episodes. Though I seriously wouldn’t count Kira out yet. I could see him coming back eventually. Can’t kill him.
sou ka…
:-bd
Sometimes the best way to enjoy a show is to not predict, not compare, and accept everything at face value.
@letshin: Crusader’s past in Soviet Russia has made some damage on him. He can now only attack anything that is a threat to his physical and mental integrity, just as liking Gundam. Imagine HAL 9000 going into a Hofstadter-Moebius loop…
anyone played Call of Duty 4 here?
Gundam Fatty hahahahahahahaha.
I laughed at a lot in that post, but for some reason that just killed me.
Crusader, you are awesome.
Oh dear, another blog that subcribes to the Jason Miao style of blogging….in fact I thought I was somehow unbanned from Derailed By Darry and reading it by accident.
