    Even if he's a joke, Patrick _the man._ He might be my favorite comic relief character ever. I just love the running gag that he _literally_ won't die even if you kill him, to the point where even the other character see his suit explode and are like: "Eh, I'm sure he's fine."

      The fact that the show actually addresses it twice in Season 2 is just brilliant, in my opinion. The first time is when he implies that he's earned the nickname "The Immortal Colasour" after surviving countless encounters with the Gundams in Season 1. The second time is when Kati outright prohibits Patrick from sortieing, stating outright that she's counting on his immortality to keep them alive through the final battle against Celestial Being.

    • @MrBlueBurd0451
      @MrBlueBurd0451 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      It's even better because despite being a very meme line, it carries incredibly deep meaning. Setsuna sees Gundams (And Exia/00 in particular) as the embodiment of the future of mankind. An avatar or herald of times yet to come, where everyone can live together not without strife, perhaps, but at least without violent conflict. A humanity together, reaching for the stars. And he wishes to be such an avatar himself. To be one of the things/beings/entities that creates such a future. That is why he sees himself (and his fellow Meisters) as fundamentally indivisible from the Gundams they pilot.

      ​@theweedeater1842 to be fair, most of gundam portrays the gundams as ultimately negative for the world they inhabit. The gundams have consistently been the vehicle in which the writers drive dark concepts like loss of innocence, forced maturity, the consequences of WMDs, and the inevitable arms race that comes with building bigger/stronger weapons of war. WFM is just extremely direct about the dehumanizing nature of the military industrial complex.

    My favorite Gundam series. I love that it feels like it is not that far removed from our time now, especially with how basic the Human Reform League mobile suits were in the beginning. The FLAGs look like something Lockheed Martin would build if mechs were a real thing. It starts so grounded. It evolves into more Gundam norms later but they make the progression believable.

    Not only the best Gundam series but honestly one of the best pieces of sci-fi ever. It tackles the same problems as previous Gundam shows but also combines them with larger societal and existential questions you usually only see in older sci-fi like the works of Asimov, Clarke, etc.
    The characters are also fully fleshed out and feel like real people with past, motivations, dreams, actual personalities they follow. Which is a contrast especially to Gundam Seed, where characters are just thrown around by the plot.
    It also does the whole _audience surrogate_ right, in a way where the character never feels invasive or stuck, he is actually part of the story and allowed to literally grow with it.
    The whole setting also feels very realistic, as transition to renewable energy is already happening and there's a big chance it'll turn the tables on countries that have historically relied on oil for their economies, risking whole regions like the middle east to spiral into countless civil wars.
    .
    .
    .
    Lastly (and this is a bit of a spoiler for those who haven't watched the movie, which is the always intented end of this story. So if you haven't, you should, Gundam 00 was building towards that movie from the very beginning), it has one of the best depiction of silicon-based life to ever appear in any work, be that a movie, book, animation, you name it. It's very rare for aliens to truly feel _alien_ like that. It also pairs well with the whole newtype thing because crystalline life forms would need a different way of communication.
    At the end of the day, Gundam 00 is not only Gundam at its finest but if you switch the mechs for tanks, spaceships, missiles, etc, it's not different from any sci-fi classic or revered war movie.
    And always remember: Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

    Remember this line from Aeolia Schenberg's speech in episode 1: "The Dialogues to Come" and the "ship from Jupiter" that the Union professor found out coz those two factoids will come up again all the way to the movie. Also don't skip the Lockon's/Neil's cemetery scene coz it established that Neil has a twin brother (😏). All those setups really shows that the writers of Gundam 00 really had a great overarching plan for their saga from beginning to end.
    Also, it's kinda creepy how Gundam 00 with the KPSA terrorist organization that Setsuna once a member of have pockets around the world and managed to do some big attacks on Europe (killing Lockon/Neil's family in one of them) kinda predicted the rise of ISIS/ISIL, a terrorist organization that was worse than Al Qaeda and was able to have pockets around the world through their "remote teachings" and managed to do sporadic attacks around the world too, not unlike the ones that killed Lockon's family. Gundam 00 can be too real sometimes 😮

I may rewatch it someday just to catch up, but it's a solid series and deserves more love. Since you mentioned Tieria, one thing I DO recall is how uppity he was. The dude only talked about four things: Aeolia Schenberg, Veda, Innovators, Innovades.

      Let me preface this by saying 00 is one of my favorites and was my first gundam. Thing is it's beautiful, but the character designs are very polarizing in that way that anime has tried to move away from. The mobile suits are really awesome, but many of the non gundam suits look like armored cores and not mobile suits, and even the gundams themselves are one design with a few tweaks. The show is really deep and willing to dive deep into certain topics other shows wouldn't but it lays a lot of itself on THICK. Gundam 00 is polarizing because if it works for you it really works for you, but if it doesn't every strength has an easy flaw to nit pick at.

      Funny, I've always viewed 00 as a more developed take on Wing. The Gundams being uniquely powerful advanced machines that utterly crush all opposition and the consequences to the political schemers of the world it's set in. The whole large scale schemes within schemes and factional infighting thing done better, and the philosophical argument being made delivered with more skill and a deeper understanding. (Even counting Endless Waltz) Heck, even the theme of 'the pilots are pawns until they decide to make their own way' is executed better here than in Wing. There's a laundry list of reasons why, from the smaller scale thanks to not having space colonies in the mix, to the avoidance of melodrama and giving the government forces more character and time to shine on screen. But at the end of the day, that's been my take on 00. That while Seed was essentially 'What if we did 0079 today?' 00 was 'What if we played Gundam Wing's themes and motifs seriously?'

    This is by far my favorite Gundam series. It is nearly perfect. The story, the characters, the mechs, the music (holy hell the music!). I still occasionally pop in some favorite episodes. I always tear up for Lockon's death. "Lockon...Lockon....Lockon." Just hits me every time. I haven't really caught the movie, but I do know of the plot and such. Hopefully you'll cover that after S2.
    And hopefully you're eagerly awaiting this wknd for G-Witch's return.

    Graham is one of the best gundam characters period! Also makes sense he shares a voice actor with Io who is also someone that loves going to the edge of what a mobile suit can do and doesn’t care if it’s a prototype or not: they’ll drive them to the ground to win!

    Gundam 00 is absolutely one of my favorite gundam series and my favorite of the alternative universe to this day, I love both seasons and really liked the movie and think that it holds up beautifully over 10 years later and is the one I highly recommend for newcomers.

    HELL YES 00 TIME
    My still favourite to date gundam series for being so insanely good. The politics, the pacing, the outcome, the set up of the s2 plot, saji and lousie, Graham aker, lockon dying, and best of all plot armor done right PATRICK "THE IMMORTAL AND INCREDIBLY LUCKY" COLLOSAUR. Immortal, plot armor god, has a dumb and endearing character you grow to love and enjoy. Especially the wedding. Can't forget ballgown tierea. Also Smirnov and his daughter Soma, and Andrei "death to my father" Smirnov, RIBBONS ALMARK, Sachez the Psychopath, Hallelujah's torture...
    Can't wait for your s2 video.

    Graham Akeer is easily one of the best MS pilots, full stop. Toe to toe with a Gundam in a stock pre-Gundam grunt is something even Char can't claim.

    dude, Patrick Colasour's plot armor is no joke.
    It's as much of a meme as "I am Gundam", if not more.

    something I do love is how Gram kept jumping Setsuna when ever he thought the job was done
    man did it three times and by the end was fighting on par from pure skill alone, what a legend!
    also I do love how you talked positivly about the framing of the Saji seagments I felt it helped so much with the story of the world

    • @ivanbluecool
      @ivanbluecool ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Setsuna says their no God every 10 seconds and ignores a literal warmonger was the one who used him as that turned into lock ons storyline. It's kinda preachy probably the most preachy of the shows especially when it was made. It's just the cast is best overall
      I mean ibo they don't know God or afterlives and seed you see how minipilation works

    I love how what gundam a plant the seeds of in one series bloomin another I've heard this described as a more fleshed-out version of Gundam Wing and I can certainly see that and what this series had to say about child soldiers would ultimately be expanded upon in iron blooded orphans
    Gundam Wing is a distant relative of oo and oo and iron blooded orphans are blood relatives

  • @OnDavidsBrain
    @OnDavidsBrain ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Here we are, Gundam OO, currently my favorite Gundam series. The mobile suits are top tier with the non Celestial Being Mobile suits looking cool yet anachronistic in their own ways compared to the Gundams which look and perform like they came from the future and just crushed them at nearly every encounter. At least until Corner sold the Pseudo Solar Drives to the three major powers where the new GNX's clapped Celestial Being's cheeks. Of the Season 1 Gundams I think I love the Virtue since BIG GUN!!! The Characters are compelling in their own ways with Setsuna, well definitely having the most legit reason to be edgy of any Gundam Protagonist, I mean, jeez. At first I was like "why are we here?" whenever we cut to Saji and Louise doing their schtick. But then Louise's family was killed by that psychopath Nina FOR LITERALLY NO REASON OTHER THAN SHE WAS LIKE "oh those assholes are looking too happy I don't like that one bit!" And afterwords Saji and Louise, season 1 had them shoved feet first into a meat grinder to say nothing of what they, especially Louise get put through in season 2. Back to Nina, she was so petty and demonic it made Dio Brando blush. Hell Team Trinity was a gang of rabid animals and seeing Johann and Michael get gunned down like thugs was so sweet. But speaking of, Ali Al-Saachez stole the show for me as my current favorite villain in Gundam. Not only is he like Yazan from Zeta on crack but the dude is just such a piece of garbage you can't help but be transfixed on him wondering how far he's gonna go. Besides, he's played in English by Scott McNeil, you can't go wrong with Scott McNeil. So yeah Season 1 was crazy and now to see Season 2 and the consequences of Celestial Being's armed interventions.

    what i love most about Gundam 00 Season 1 is we actually get to see mobile suit battle tactics being uses. like HRL plan to capture a gundam, or the joint Gundam capture effort. i like to see how practical the nations are to their approach to dealing with the overpowered gundam, They arent the invincible super weapons of the older series immune to tactics and superior tactics
