I haven't watched Anime in years. I think the last one I watched was Hajima no Ippo.

There is season 2 of Ippo but it's not as great (focuses more on other boxers and not Ippo himself) still good though.

Gundam 00 is basically this:

Quote

Setsuna F. Seiei is the best protagonist in Gundam.

In the first season he is kind of a cigarillo. And also Gundam. He has no fucking idea what he's doing there other than that he has a tremendous Gundam boner, like a parody of kids who grew up on Gundam. And his entire mission in life is to fly around with seven laser swords getting peace in the Middle East.

Enter Season 2. The dude is Solid Snaking shit in space in his half-Exia and gets the Bro Raiser, starts taking bitches and ruining the current world order because he is the single representation of all Celestial Being is and he knows it. He fights with no remorse or emotion, gradually becoming more and more powerful until he is, literally, unstoppable.

If you don't like that sort of crazy next gen entertainment

then go for the older shows like Turn A Gundam, Zeta Gundam or the new Gundam Unicorn OVA. Don't blame me if you get bored though.

This post says it all about Jesus F. Seisei

That's the second best explanation of a Gundam protagonist i have ever seen (Nothing can beat the one for Tobia Arronax, sorry

) IMO

I wish I was able to find that clip of Harry Ord giving Poe medicine. What a badass.

Harry Ord is a badass (with great taste in eyewear), Himuro is a sadass.

Ignore any suggestion that isn't the Gundam 0079 movie trilogy, Gundam 00 season 1, or Turn A. Suggesting Zeta in particular is fucking stupid as it's impossible to appreciate Zeta on any level without having seen the original.

Himu · « **Reply #14 on:** July 23, 2010, 11:31:00 AM »

Regarding the topic, I will buy this. I've already watched it so no reason not to buy it and support. Ichi and his anti-piracy shtick is mad homo.

Himu · « **Reply #15 on:** July 23, 2010, 11:39:15 AM »

I still question why Bandai did this. This is 10 years too late. They should have licensed and aired Turn A on fucking Toonami like in 2000 or 2001.

This will bomb on every level, and without the tv fanbase to back it up, no one will give a shit.

So why bother licensing and releasing Turn A Gundam 10 years after it came out in Japan hoping for success? The only people who are going to buy this already watched it through fansubs.

Well, in your case, you live in a third world country so you probably can't get it legally. It's understandishible.

at Himu claiming he'll buy this.

Himu · « **Reply #20 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:39:38 PM »

Eh, depends on the price. If it's single dvds, I won't buy it. No rush. Already seen it.

cool breeze · « **Reply #21 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:40:03 PM »

This show wouldn't have done well even back when Gundam had some popularity in America. Turn A is all about politics and there is hardly any real action in the series. Kids would pass out hearing characters negotiate land treaties instead of endless beam spam.

As for why they're bringing it over now, I dunno, but I'm happy that they are. Maybe Turn A having a chunky role in the Dynasty Warriors Gundam games got people hankering for more Harry Ord...oh wait, those stupid games didn't have Harry Ord. Not even Gundam vs Gundam has enough Harry Ord

Himu · « **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:43:43 PM »

Who cares. Already seen Turn A. Why is there a reason to be excited for this?

It's not like it's a recent show. Or a show that wasn't fansubbed well and the localization will give it the respect it deserves.

And the anime industry wants to blame piracy for their downfall? lol

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #23 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:47:42 PM »

I buy shit I like, even if I saw it 11 years ago.

cool breeze · « **Reply #24 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:51:29 PM »

I just want to own it and add it to my tv show/movie collection. I saw Gundam Unicorn before it was released proper too, but I still went ahead and bought the single episode on blu-ray for the crazy price they were charging.

This thread made me want to watch Gundam 00 despite the fact that I usually despise anime, so I got my pirate on and am streaming now. The first episode was good... I'ma keep watching.
