Gundam 00 S2 EP 25 “Rebirth” [Final Thoughts]

 The end. Gundam OO Secon Season Last Episode : Final thoughts 

All this time Gundam OO was a combination of different show like FMP, Code Geass, and TTGL (see old posts if you don’t believe me) slapped together. Yet I managed to get past it and enjoy the show until S2 with its pink GN particles, feelings, random shots of naked people, and the Sunrise writing staff once again derailing their own product completely came along. One many factors why S2 didn’t live up to my expectations  was that they weren’t able to create interesting enemies/bad guys. The innovators and the A-laws are were boring and very forgetable bunch to the very end which personality was as unique as rock and interesting as watching the grass grow. I really don’t feel like proof-reading right now so just ignore any gramatical error you may come across. I actually re-writing half of this so I’m not feeling up to the task of correcting every single thing.

The Innovators : There was no much emphasizes on the superiority Innovators and Ribbons’ but in the end they were your typical unoriginal villains with almost no personality but with peculiar names, and guess what? They also had forgettable deaths.  The only reason that I would remember any of them a couple of months from now is because of their funny names.

Sunrise pulling a Gainax. Deus ex Gundam. Who do you think I am!? I AM Gundam

This post will pierce the heavens

Sunrise being Sunrise is nothing new. However, after watching 24 that weird familiar feeling that I got a couple of months finally made sense to me. I said to myself this does feel a lot like Gainax and worse yet Sunrise trying to go for a World reset ending. What did I witness in this episode? Lazy script writers just got lazier. They realized that the only way to fix everything was to make the main character become God so he can solve everyone’s problem at the last moment.  That’s good right? Admit it. Although it was a good episode with a lot of action, the fantasy part of it disappointed greatly. GN particles and pretty sparks, hope, and feelings? They really did not help its case. It was still pure Deus ex machina what happened in this ep. What is this anway? Clannad ending meets Gundam meets Gainax? Let’s go over it very briefly. Problems solved in ep 24 :

Saiji and Louise = they are back together
Lock-on gets his revenge on Ali = Yes! he’s finally dead!
Allelujah and Marie = Soma Pieris is back to being her submissive self again.
Sumeragi and Bill = After he stopped being a retarted jerk, he gets his good ending. I’m glad to see that all his selfishness and studipity finally paid off. It just took, what? A couple thousands of human lives to get it.
Andrei forgives his father (assumed)
Basically, Setsuna goes NGEV and he saves everyone at the last minute.

Row row fight the innovators. You know, I have this whacky and totally unsupported theory that Gundam is in fact Tegen Toppa Gurren Laggann and the best part (or should I say worst)  is that I can prove it to you.

Gundam 00 S2 22 ~ Feldt route walkthrough by KKD. Death Flag? Innovation continues.

After Graham was defeated once again by Setsuna he recalls the time that he met with his sensei Pad Morita. He also remember undergoing extensive training in the mountains such as trying to marathon Bleach from episode 1 and the other one was not laughing at himself everytime he looks at the mirror when he sees Mr. Bushido. That’s tough.  I’m not entirely sure if this was made to make us laugh or not but I sure find it hilarous to see him under those waterfalls meditating or whatever he’s doing.  Somehow, I feel like I’m watching one of those old Jackie chan or Bruce Lee kung-fu movies that aired on Sundays afternoons.  In my mind, Jet Li operating a mecha doesn’t seem that far off now.

Gundam 00 S2 Ep 21 – How to become an innovator. Are you undergoing innovation?

Magical shoujo Lyrical Graham Aker hajimari masu!

“I was supposed to be an ordinary pilot but a sudden situation changed everything. What I received was a courageous heart.  What I gained was a samurai Gundam”.

While I was watching Gundam OO I notice something interesting.  After I did a well thought out analysis of Gundam OO and the Innovators I think that I understand the process of Innovation according to Sunrise  a bit better now.  I shall explain it to you what innovation is about and you’ll know whether you’re undergoing it or not.

Gundam 00 S2 17 – No copyright infrigment (fake)

ORE WA GUNDAM!

And read between the lines.

With all the copyright laws nowadays I decided to turn this Gundam entry into something else.  There are no Gundam OO screen caps this time around INSTEAD we get some crappy doodles that I drew while I was half asleep. Surely, these weak doodles cannot even be considered fan art so no copyright infrigment is commited here, would it? Furthermore, to avoid further copyright infriment I will change all the name of the characters to characters to Setsubou, Loco, Tiara, Amen and so and so fourth

Gundam 00 S2 EP14 – At full throttle. Some motivational posters

Holy cow.  My thoughts exactly.

We got Gundams and singing. The result? Bad combination.

Shocku desu!

Big niusu.  Sergei learns that the federation has become A-lol’s puppet. How can he not realize something so obvious? What has he been doing in the last episodes aside from being jealous of Marie x Allelujah couple and chasing them around I ask you.

Gundam 00 S2 Ep 12 – Xmas came twice this year

Santa does exist! Either he, Oyashiro-sama or some higher entity  granted my wish for Xmas.  Ribbons does not take crap from anyone and he proved it in this episode.  That alone made this episode the best of the week. 

Gundam 00 S2 (EP8) – Code:Operation trap

 Good grief.  Even Ribbons disapproves

 Fabulous. Fabulous. Fabulous is the best way to call this episode.

Innovator Regene Regetta tries to mess with Tieria’s head by telling him what he and CB are doing go against Aeolian Schenberg’s plan.  As a result, Tieria is confused about what he should do next throughout the episode.  A: To go to the dark side would mean betraying…

Gundam 00 S2 – Episode 7

Tieria.  I am your lost brother. 

I’m also also near-sighted and I use the same brand of hair dye as you.
