I can't believe it's still in my download folder and not in my watched folder! From seeing all your pics, i'm watching it right now xD! It looks really awesome!
Saw the first ep and then did some simple impressions on my blog. Short story, Pretty decent but not mindblowing. Looking forward to how this turns out
Why can't we have manly character design in Gundam spinoffs? Nonetheless, I might give this one a try.
I spent the last half hour trying to find this to download, but none of them were working. (I hate having such crap internet) Even though I don't understand Japanese at all, I still desperately want to see this. From all that I've heard, this Gundam sounds great. I was never really able to get into Gundam Seed, so I'm glad there's a fresh new series I can watch.
i heard gundam 00 is the first gundam series to be in HD. from the various pictures and trailers i see, i got to say the quality is top-notch. ^^ i always find that the Seed and Destiny series looks too cartoony.
Isn't the MS in the first pic (below the youtube video) is RX-78? Looks very similar...
it looks good
It's been a while since I last watched a Gundam series so I've planned on checking this one out.
Ugh! The OP and ED sucks! I'm a major Gundam Fan but this doesn't seem like a good watch like the original Seed was (Seed Destiny sucked too). Hopefully they have a good story to back this show. Maybe I'll pick it up then. What's the orange Haro doing there? Is it acting like an R2 Unit?
:0 ! is the long curly brown haired girl the main character?? whoah thats refreshing, altho im not a gundam fan (main character looks awesome)
all the gundam pilots are guys... I was fooled... regardless, this story some what reminds me of Gundam Wing... Nice visually, and the MS did look better than I first expected, although I still think other than Excia (or the sword one), all the rest look crappy...
to tell the truth.. gundam 00 isn't as catchy as it's advertised.. but anyway, i should just watch a few more episode to further comment about it..
anybody else think the grunt MS look like the mechs from Xenosaga 3?
A question about Virtue Gundam's pilot, is it a guy or a girl? It's hard to tell.
It's very interesting, but it doesn't seem to be the greatest thing. Never the less I will keep watching too see if it gets to be more than interesting.
It's okay. But judging on the first episode it's decent, I have to see further in the episodes if its worth watching... Hope it's not a repeat of Destiny.
I am still surprised it is 2D Mecha instead of CG but it looks good will write an impression on my blog once I've watched it
the wings on gundam exia reminds me of evangelion...
Seems like some people have already started to conclude that it'll be bad. Well, I might beg to differ as its still to early to jump into conclusions. Eitherway I have to agree, 00 doesn't have a good OP or ED to begin with but its still refreshing nevertheless.
Fyi, the opening song is performed by L'arc en Ciel and the ending song is performed by The Black Horn. Both are Rock bands that are rather established in Japan, I know cos Im a Japanese rock fan. I've personally heard the OP song live when I was watching Larc concert during July at wakayama. I think most of us are not use to the alternative rock style. Prehaps the more techno type of songs like previous gundam animes will appeal to more ppl. Well, maybe they will change the OP & ED song every 13 episodes or so like they did in Gundam Seed & Destiny
Lemme preface my comments about Gundam 00's first episode by saying: A) I was actually almost 100% content with the way SEED Destiny turned out & B) I'm more of an AU Gundam fan than a UC Gundam fan. That being said, I was thoroughly impressed with Gundam 00's first episode. The animation was really fluid and the action scenes were all well done. I love all the character and mech designs. I liked the opening song, but I was a fan of L'arc En Ciel before this so it's a given I'd like it. I'm not a fan of the ending song though. I've got really high expectations for this series, and I have a feeling it will be one of my favorite Gundam series when it's all said and done. It just sucks that after 25 episodes it's going to take a break.
I still haven't watched it, mainly because I'm at work =/ However I noticed on one of the pictures of the girl in the china dress (who btw, is incredibly hot) is holding a purple...thing o_O; Looking forward to this, I'm tired of SEED =/
Personally, I give em an A for effort, but a C for content
Mars Daybreak will still always be better than any Gundam show in MY mind. Maybe I'll write a blog about it on Monday. ^_^
Ah, I've got to agree with you on the choice of the ED song. The starting of it made me go "wtf". But other than that, the OP and ED are ... okay I suppose. Gah. I need to watch this. >_
hmm.. have to wait for the translation..:(.. but from what i hear its was a decent opening episode.. but just think.. destiny had a kick a@# first episode..and then took a nose dive into a clip show..surprised ep2 wasn'ta clip show..>_>
LET THE COLOSSAL MOUNTAIN OF MERCHANDISE BEGIN! Not to mention it being on the cover of every anime magazine for years to come! Im not really into Gundam, though the only series ive seen is Gundam wing, which i thought was pretty pants.
i'm waiting for the subbed version, but watched the RAW anyway out of curiosity. it's not too bad. I preferred the first episode of Gundam SEED. then again I have yet to see the subs.
Just watched the RAW version. Very nice indeed, not just the fighting sequences, but the overall quality of the animation. Looks like they blend CG and drawings better than SEED this time. But I wonder what's that Gundam Setsuna saw as a kid?
There was PLENTY of moe.... atleast for fangirls. Personally though, I liked the first ep of Seed and even Destiny for me. But the premise sounds decently fresh (even for being basically a Gundam Wing 2) this time.
ahh...first anime to be in HD format..thanks to that, my computer lagged...not bad though. ^^;
個人的に「戦争を戦争で否定する」っーバカな真似を「解ってて」やってる点が好印象でしてSEEDよりは楽しめそうです。期待しています。 SEEDは何だかんだ言っておいて、最終的にキラ君の圧倒的火力で制圧するとゆー酷いオチが付きましたから。そんな私はＵＣ派の人間です。ハイ。
ngee_khiong, I'm sure they will cover "when he was a kid" thing. CyruzDraxs, whats the Japanese name for that? cocochicさん、 （笑） Gerbera04g, Its a dude... Ram, Not the main character but one of the important ones I think. Exiled_Gundam, Looks very similar.
あ、ふぇんりるさん、 初音ミクアイコンがかわいい！
The animation quality is better (Because of HD Format), but the first OP intro and the ED song was not good for me. I'll just wait for first 10 episodes of this series soon... I'm looking forward for this.
the folks at GundamS.net already came out with the sub. i'm impressed that they managed to do it so fast.^^ a big thank you to the team. ^^
this first episode leaves a good impression for me, the characters introduction, the mysteries, the Gundam designs, i liked it so far, as long as they keep it this way, this Gundam can be better than the disappointing Seed and Seed Destiny.
The production quality is higher than gundam seed, dont want to see any reused stock animation!
Pretty good episode to start of the series imo. Exia, Dynames and Kyrios are pretty cool, not so keen on Virtue. Animation is very fluid and well done. I hope character development will be well done and no more uber aces that can own everything just on his own.
Awesome! I can't wait to watch this, it's already been fansubbed! It's at the top of the list for new releases today on my fansubb search engine animetreehouse.com. If it aired last night then the fansubbers must have been working on it as it aired! lol. I love anime, especially Gundam!
yeah it was awesome... somehow reminded me of code geass @@ .. loved the op song by L'arc!
Just watched the first ep. Well, OP & ED is just too plain for me. Actually i expected for the worst of this anime, but will give it a try of few more episode first, see how it goes. Anyway..would like to see more of the "modified RX-78", hehe...
I never watched the Strike one...
@ Danny Gorgeous Tango: The Mars Daybreak Kenran Butoh Sai: The Mars Daybreak 絢爛舞踏祭ザ･マーズ･デイブレイク Taken from http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3642
I hardly watch any series with gundam in it since it normally involves war and injured people. I wonder how i managed to watch through all the code geass episodes...
Where can I get a subbed torrent?
To me it doesen't even look like Gundam. I liked the cosmic era, but I really miss Universal Century and Gundam Wing. I think the designs and style are too out-there, it doesen't like like the "real-robot" genre anymore. The animaton is nice, but everything looks more like Code Geass or Eruka 7 or something...
Just watched it. Dynames and Virtue and my most favorite amongst the 4. I wonder how the story will unfold.
Finally got around to watching it. I loved the BGMs, tired of the airy fairy stuff that SEED was having, this has a lot more "militaristic" drummings and I like it. Plus the Gundams for some reason reminds me of Virtual On in aesthetics. I also like that :3 Too early to judge the whole series, but I like what I see so far
watched it...really cool
"Loads of bishonen for the ladies and yaoi fans." Sigh, I am not a big fan of all the "cutsy" guys and girls in the recent Gundam Anime series over the past couple of years, maybe it is to cater to female viewers? I don't know and really I have no idea, but the art style of the characters is totally throwing me off of the entire series. I like the mecha designs though, they seem to simplified but I won't judge 'em as usually the designs get more thorough through a series. Sadly Gundam 00 will not be on my watch list, mainly in part due to the way the characters are drawn. The big ass badguy has to be tough, possibly ugly, but tough and self-centered, NOT tough, self centered and cute. TAKE OUT THE CUTE ELEMENT PLEASE.
@Trent, That's it! That's why I thought the show felt familiar. It did remind of Code Geass. Despite that, it wasn't bad and it looked good. But I'll need to watch a few more episodes before I'll make up my mind. Eh, who am I kidding, I'll watch it, I haven't had a Gundam fix in alooooong time. Plus, there isn't much on TV that interests me this season. (-_^)
Yea the ED song is at best. But the animation looks like they ran out of budget and had to come up with it on the cheap.
gundam pattern since seed series: a lot of bishounen at 1st, and there would be, WOULD a bishoujo might be wrong who design the mecha?
I'm pumped. The first episode has whet my appetite. Coincidentally it arrived at an excellent time to replace Gurren Lagann. Initially seeing the Gundam's designs made me confused, but actually having them in action moves me towards curiosity on the technology. The character designs isn't that significantly drastic to me as it would be for others. It is fine as long as there isn't a Relena Peacecraft or Lacus Clyne (not that I didn't enjoy both of their graceful presence to the series). As for the characters' personalities they unfortunately for the first episode appear to fall in the 'typical' & 'cliche' category. I am not impressed. Animation is smooth and tasteful as how first opening episodes for any Gundam series should be. I agree with the comment on the BGM; it contains more of a serious feel and less J-pop'ish. I detest hearing L'arc en Ciel. I want Aya Kamiki instead. The overall plot could be interesting with the multiple amount of cast with this new series. I'll watch this regardless of how bad it will become. Gundam has never let me down for the exception of V, Turn-A, and partial Seedage.
Yeah I agree with you Danny, the gundams look better than we expected the green one really reminds me of Buster from Seed. One thing I found weird in the first episode is that most of the pilots looked like girls, especially the one with purple hair, I was like, that is a girl but then when it started talking it was a man O_O lol. Oh and Setsuna (Exia pilot) reminds me a lot of Heero from Wing
@hendrik - There are a lot of people involved in the mech design this time around: Hitoshi Fukuchi (Cassharn, Double Fake: Under the Gundam, Gin-iro no Olynsis) Kanetake Ebikawa (Full Metal Panic, Vandread) Kenji Teraoka (Code Geass, GITS:SAC) Kunio Okawara (We all know what he's done) Seiichi Nakatani (animation director in Stargazer) Takayuki Nanase (Toward the Terra, Zegapain)
There are like 4 different fansubs out of the first Gundam 00 series! Has any one seen Blue Drop? It looks like fun, is there a new season starting already in Japan? I didn't expect to see any new series so soon.
I think the 1st ep turned out pretty ok. I had an open mind going into the first episode, I saw that there were some nice Gundam designs, the character designs are different (thank god, tired of seeing the same artist everywhere), even though they are bishounen it doesn't bother me that much. Overall the quality was pretty much consistent and the story built up at a nice pace throwing some side characters here and there for a small introduction. Gundam 00 will stay on my watchlist for now. On a side note has anyone seen Blue Drop? I haven't looked up info for a lot of the fall series cause I didn't think it'd come so soon.
I have never watched anything gundam. And I must say I really enjoyed this episode.
cool...anyone know whos funsubbing this?
Nyoro~n and GundamS.net are subbing it. in .mkv and .avi formats. i watched the GundamS.net subs but not the Nyoro~n's one so i can't compare the 2. anyone watched both of them? any comments? ^^
yey! Gundam 00 is finally out ^^ i'll wait for a decent subber before i watch it ^^
I've seen both Nyoro~n and GundamS.net, and I'll say Nyoro~n's are a lot better. They got most of the names right, and it looked like they actually put a lot of effort into it, unlike GundamS.net's which seemed like a total rush job. I still think the subs could be done a little better though. I'm going to check out any and every groups' episode 1 to see which one does the best job and sticking with that group for the duration of at least the first half of Gundam 00. Who knows? After the break at episode 25, more groups might try and pick it up.
GREAT! but the guy in the black gundam looks like a girl (the 1 with purple hair and glasses)
The first pic remind of code geass with that gundam like that mecha that lelouch was in(i think) and the kid lokked like suzaku. Hope that this gundam series doesn't get any cheesier than SEED ^^.
looks interested and will for sure check it out. thanks for the pics. However, Gundam Seed series is still my favorite and not sure how it will compare for me. Just now i finally started watching Destiny in English. I already saw it as subtitles.
