Anime Review: Gundam 00

Its been awhile since I posted something anime related. And it seems all the anime I want to post are licensed now. But you guys are in for a treat today. This anime's license is not official yet. So you guys can check it out as soon as I'm done reviewing it.

Now I've always been a fan of Gundam Wing and G Gundam. I never really was a big fan of Gundam Seed but this new Gundam that is showing in Japan right now, I think is really upholding the Gundam name. Now I read some reviews saying that Gundam 00 is just Gundam Wing or the current times. And in-a-way I think thats good. But this story I believe is original.

Here's the premise of the story. With fossil fuels no longer available, the world has to depend on Solar power. Solar power is taken by these large towers extending all the way into space to grab the solar power from the sun. Since there are 3 major towers, 3 Governments were created based on those powers. Of course with different forms of governments, conflicts arise and war is based on the control of all the Earth's power. Now this is where the gundams come in. Suddanly a mysterious neutral party comes claiming to be a group called "Celestial being." Celestial being claims to be a organization to prevent wars. Celestial being use the gundams to prevent war from happening.

Now there are mixed responses with these gundams, some people support them, some oppose of them. Nobody is really sure what is Celestial being's true motive is. But the governments really consider the Gundams a threat.

So far there are 8 episodes and I'm hooked to this show. This show sometimes leaves you in a clifhanger, and sometimes the show ends with a question of what's going to happen next. The cast of characters do seem similar to Gundam Wing, but not too similar. This is a fight between govenments, not between earth and a space colony. But I do like how they created a story similar to whats going on right now. This can be seen with the use of terrorist attacks and government wars.

The design of the gundams are pretty tight, to put it simply there's a sword fighter, a sharpshooter, a jet transformer, and a bazooka and canon shooting gundam. And the pilots for each of these Gundams are some bad asses.

All in all I think this show is pretty good. Now I heard they are making over 2 seasons of this show. So you guys might as well start watching the show now so you can say you saw this show from the beginning.
