after ep 17 (Break Tower) they ran out of money and imagination. barely hung on by their fingernails and scraped together just enough energy to generate an ok finale. they should forget about the movie and just redo 18 to 26. kill off more characters and no more death star-like plot devices. too bad, could have been a very very decent show.

This series blew hard. Gundam is dead.

Trans AM? Check

Trans AM HYPER BURST MODE? Check

I’m not technically dead since I’m inside Veda? Check

World peace achieved because we got rid of the EVIL A-Lawls? Check

Random shit happening in the last couple minutes making all plot build up completely irrelevant? Check

I understand that Jihad-kun referred to Setsuna. But where did this nickname came from?

oh one thing i forgot to add, probably one of the gratign things about trans-am, aside from it being overused is that as far as super modes go, it was very dull compared to some of the others.

for example(s)
wing zero’s zero system (floods the pilots brain with combat info and etc)
zeta’s bio sensor (which allowed it to temporarily power up using the souls/minds of the departed)
and the unicorns NT-D mode (made the gundam controllable by thought alone, also allowed it to take over newtype weaponry (eg turn a MS’s bits/funnels against them) and its shield turned into an I-field generator)

by comparison all trans am did was make the affected suits go really really fast, gundams on red bull more or less.

Gundam Jesus died for our sins; and on the third day (the ending credits), he rose again.

All that’s left now is to wait for the Second Coming, when he shall descend from the clouds and rend the sky with his angels (Celestial Being) and judge all the nations.

Anybody notice that ANOTHER Ribbons lookalike was in the last scene with Marina? Same dude looks up to the sky (along with marina, and also notice that they are the only people in the crowd looking up) at that sparkle that is Ptolemy II heading for jupiter.

In the end, i can say i enjoyed it better than Wing and G (i liked GSD so sue me, just ’cause of athrun).

Oh, and IMHO i think MSG (’79) isn’t overrated… it’s just old… problem was that its animation wasn’t as timeless as Macross. Its story, however, now that is TIMELESS.

Can’t wait for the first dose of FMA. Hope crusader takes on it. =)

The only thing I’m going to remember from the series is the arguments I had with Crusader about it. Otherwise this was a crap season in comparison to the first, as Crusader mentioned the middle was the best things near the end collapsed and dragged the whole show down with it. I wish they had focused more on the politics and realism instead of Gundam upgrades that made no sense and rushed character relations. Oh and BSG had a pretty good finale but still think Starbuck ending was a bit out of a copout. FMA here I come baby!

LoliPirate96 would be Lyle while WEEPingWilLLoW51 should be pretty obvious to everyone. :p

Must ask, because I’m not smart enough to figure it out: who are LoliPirate96 and WEEPingWiLLoW51?

I’ve seen UC and tend to think it’s overrated, but I won’t get into that. Zeta is my show. I would say SEED and 00 are about equal, depends on what you are looking for. 00 for more mecha battles SEED for more soap opera drama. Overall Gundam has never been great. 00 continues that legacy.

i loved the final battle, reminded me of the zeong vs RX-78 battle in the original cept rather then fight hand to hand they downgraded to their original suits once they trashed the ones they had, and it was extra gratifying to see Hal tear hilling a new asshole, in a half broken gundam without trans-am.

overall i liked the series and had fun watching it, not great but still good, even if it did stumble in the second season (curse you sequelitis) it was better than seed and wing thats for sure.

good points: the mobile suit designs, patrick, how the fights in season 1 were more skirmishes than protracted battles, and when they were protracted the gundams got owned due to force of numbers, the use of solid blades as close combat weapons over beam sabres, seeing the RX-78 (sorry..0 gundam) get skewered by exia, almost complete absence of stock footage, and Hal just…Hal.

bad points: antagonists were on a whole rather bland (especially ribbons and ali), absolutely no explaination given into ‘the incident’ regarding graham, not enough Flags, the trinites were just a cock tease, the battles in season 2, the give peace a chance rhetoric from wing, not enough Hal in season 2, lecharous lyle, dumbed down plot in season 2, overuse of trans am (maybe if it had risks such as liqufying organs due to the intense G’s or risk of going crazy it would’ve been bearable but i digress) marina, and andrei.

overall, in my opinion it sits below zeta but above wing and seed.

my one hope is that the next series will be either unicorn or crossbone, oh and that ADV films does any dubbing of the aforementioned series’.
