Gundam 00 : Epsisode 20 - 25

Ok lets just end this nightmare and move on with the next big show of Sunrise, although I know for all of the time my blogging is just for the sake of my personal satisfaction. Just so you know that I actually finishes this.

All the building ups of the series at the early of the season somewhat pays up in these last few episodes, but everything seems rushed and there are some part that really feels that it was forced into the story. Just so that you don't say I'm a lazy boy, here is a list of death count(named characters) for these episodes:

- Kinue Crossroad
- Lagna Harvey
- Johann Trinity
- Mihael Trinity
- Daryl
- Lockon Stratos (debatable)
- Dr. Moreno
- Lichty
- Christina Sierra
- Halleluyah (just him, not Allelujah)
- Alejandro Corner

I don't really care if I miss anybody, the first season, which I manage to realize only after I watch the last episode, was all but a set up for the second season, hope it will deliver, That's all, are you happy now?

Gundam 00 : Episode 17 to 19

Ok Ok I understand it perfectly, I screw up again, in the CNY holiday and after all the due dates to catch, but now I'll made it up to you so don't complain.

So the two teams met, but the Trinity refuses to reveal much of themselves, in the process, Nena kiss Setsuna, got push away by him, ran to Veda's terminal an do something fishy, but Ian also secretly runs analysis on the Throne. After that the Throne goes on to their mission which involves destroying a MSWAD's base, which kills Prof. Eifman along the way. But Eifman manages to know the true objectives of CB before dead, which he brings with him, as Setsuna questions the Trinity's status as Gundam Meisters.

Episode 18

The Thrones keeps on attacking world military installments, In the process, Nena purposely attack a civillian installment where Louise is on, cause her to loose her left arm and shared an emo moment with Saji(a very well done one too). As Ian brief the Ptolemaios crew about the Thrones' GN Drives are counterfeit, they decided that Veda has been hacked and they will keep their info by themselves. By the way, Kinue found out that the Trinity reports to someone called Ragna and her info seller got killed afterwards. In a Thrones attack, Graham comes out, snatch Eins' saber and slash off it's arm. The Thrones retreat, only to be ambushed by Gundam Exia.

Johann decided that to tell Lockon that Setsuna was with the terrorist group that destroyed his family. Lockon and Setsuna have conversation afterwards, and that solves their issues peacefully. And we got treated by some very boring moment of Saji and Louise before seeing the 3 superpowers men being lead to north pole, where 30 GN-Drives is stored.

Screencaps (episode 19 only)

Petition To Have Safer Bus Rides For Long Distance Routes

We, the concerned youths of Malaysia express appalled anger towards the Slim River Bus Crash incident that claimed the life of Lee Nian Ning, Mohd. Zailani and Pang Boon Eng on the 25th of January 2008. This is not the first time that such an incident has occurred. Despite numerous complaints and public uproar in the past, incidents like this continue to occur. It was reported that the driver’s company had 13 summonses on that bus itself. We find it unacceptable that such a company could have operated that vehicle on the road.
What are the explanations?
Hundreds of thousands of university students just like Nian Ning and us rely on such public transport to travel back home. A human life should not be taken lightly.
How could a vehicle with 13 summonses be free on the roads and not be held by the authorities?
We, the following, hereby demand that the relevant authorities set up a committee consisting of road safety experts and representatives from relevant public bodies to conduct a thorough study to find effective solutions to ensure that mistakes like this do not occur again in the future.
We will not be quiet until we see it in the media that satisfactory measures have been taken.To sign the petition,
please click here
and submit your FULL NAME and e-mail. It will be considered one e-signature upon completion.
Alternatively, please send your FULL NAME and IC NUMBER to buscrashnomore@gmail.com.
Please do not leave initials or nicknames, only full name is accepted.
We thank you for your co-operation. Let us pray for those who have died to make way for change and keep our fingers crossed that someone, anyone will hear us and enforce that change.Please put this in forums, bulletins, emails, blogs.....everywhere. We need all the support we can get. This is for you as well.

Gundam 00 : Episode 16

Still a "nothing much" episode, the outcome are pretty much predicted. The Thrones comes in and save the day for the original Meisters. Still the CB council meeting did gives us a bit of the idea of the organization, which is: VEDA, for now what we know is that no known human is in total control or knowledge of CB. The council need to achieve 100 percent votes to make a decision, some of the decision they can make is relieving the current CB team from their position, but interestingly, they also have no knowledge of the Throne Gundams.

Also the new Throne pilots commented on the failure of the current CB team by being undecisive. And stated that they will not leave their enemies mercy. As it seems that the two Gundam team is going to have a chat next eppy. So that's all for this episode, now I threat you with the image of the Throne Gundams and the Meisters.

Gundam 00 OP 2

Finally found the OP online, I really like it, far better than Daybreak's Bell.

Gundam 00 : Episode 15

Well there isn't anything to say about this episode. Yes! there isn't much, I'm providing free review in this blog you know! That aside, I just list out what is important in the event of this episode:

1) Alliance set up trap

2)Gundam take the bait

3)Alliance ambush(long range bombardment with missiles)

4)Attack go on for more than 15 hours

5)Gundam Meisters tired, Alliance aces comes in

6)Aces capture Gundam

7)Exia saved by Gundam Throne Drei(yes the new Gundam)

8)End

What is interesting is, Throne Drei looks similar to the O Gundam which save Setsuna years ago, hence Setsuna cries out "Gundam" emotionally to the new Gundam. And on a side note, Patrick is the one who capture Virtue, Virtue reveals it's GN Bazooka's Burst Mode, Dynames can ride Kyrios and Ali appears with his MA Agarisa which his Enact attached to.

Gundam 00 : Episode 14

The title of this episode is called "The Morning of Determination" and they mean it, most of this episode is just about setting up for the big battle of the next episode, which involves HRL, AEU and Union joining forces to have a royal rumble with the Gundams. First we got treated with Kinue special report show on Celestial Being, while the politician who watched it commented that it is a waste of time. So he proceed to join the secret meeting with the representatives of the rest of the 3 faction on their big plan, and we get treated to the new OP, with the image of the 3 new Gundams which will becomes the enemies of Celestial Being.




After the OP we see Allelujah and Ian are doing maintenance on the ship in their secret space dock at Lagranga point L1. The rest of the crew are all relaxing themselves on Earth. With Tieria doing some analysis of the result they achieved so far. The rest of the Meisters are alone in their personal place. After that we will see how all the factions are preparing for the showdown and introduction of some new characters to heat up the show. Now I won't be following actual order here instead I will sum up by faction.



First is the Union, Graham got promoted, the anti-Gundam squad is renamed as Overflags and have 12 new elites joining the team with their Flags. But we only got 3 new names and 1 new face, the new names are Josh, Landy and Situa(Just what I heard), and the new face was unnamed, but he do revealed that Graham got a bad record of causing the death of his superior, so maybe we will know more in the future.



Then we got AEU, which hires mercenaries again. This time the name is Garry Beards, which is actually Ali Al Sarshes in disguise, and he will get a new machine. We also get treated with a humorous come back of Patrick, which is punched by his female superior named Katie Manakin, but he finds that Katie is charming so he simply take it.





Back to HRL, interestingly, not new characters. But we do know that Sergei will be involved, and HRL isn't so whole hearted in working with the other factions, the stage will in a desert of HRL's ground and they seems to have a scheme to get the Gundams all for themselves.



So that's basically all the important parts, another point worth mentioning is that Setsuna sneak into Marina's bedroom to ask why the world is so twisted, and Billy leaked the combat plan to Sumeragi just to get a chance to date her, now I'm fine with Billy and Sumeragi, but Setsuna and Marina just don't suits me because I'm in Marina hate club:). Anyway can't wait for the next episodes to see Ali's new machines and how all the Gundams get out of it.

New Opening Song of Gundam 00

The title is Ash Like Snow, by the brilliant green, here is the MV, we'll see whether it is good when episode 14 comes out, well we need to look at the entire OP to judge anyway, not just the song.

Gundam 00 : Episode 13

This episode is the end of the two parter which started at episode 12. I know this is a bit late but I do manage to pull the review don't I? Actually my semester has started so I won't be making the review as long and detail as before so here is a quick one.

This episode is titled "The Return of the Saint", which is our Imam which got kidnapped in the last episode. Basically it is how Celestial Being track down and rescue the kidnapped Massoud Rachmadi, and how they return him to the Azadistan's officials, and how that would end the conflict.



First Setsuna was sent investigating the site where the missiles were launched in the last episode, there he met Graham and Billy which also doing the same investigation, Setsuna acts innocent and Billy buys it, but Graham doubts him and purposely leaked the info Union have to Setsuna, which make Setsuna realize that the culprit was Ali, so he took of to Ali's hideout ( which Setsuna knows since he fought with Ali in the last war ) after informing Lockon.


Setsuna fought Ali at the hideout, he did better this time but still inferior to the experienced Ali. Setsuna only manage to get of becaused he got a more superior MS. But Ali's men are able to runaway with Massoud. But with the help of Hong Long's Kung Fu and Lockon sniping, they managed to rescue Massoud.


Exia comes off and pick up Massoud, unattached all of it's weapons and head to the palace of Azadistan. There it was attacked by the Anf although message has been conveyed that he have Massoud, still, Exia do not fight back but just walk straight to the palace, drop Ali and flies off. Graham in his Flag clenches his fist because there will be political problem if they attacked the Gundam now.



So with Massoud returned the revolutionist and the conservatives of Azadistan will strife towards mutual understandings.



Well the most interesting part in the episode was the fight between Setsuna and Ali. Too bad Graham don't get to action in this episode plus the issues was resolved too easily as everybody seems to predicted this ending a long time ago.
