Gundam 00

New Gundam series! Called Gundam 00, it’s already into 3 episodes, and I feel that it has much to offer. Being in our Gregorian calendar timeline (2307 AD), it is a step away from the other timelines which Gundam Wing and Gundam Seed Destiny offered. In fact, it included most of the current issues and conflicts which are happening in our world today, and throws it 300 years into the future!

Well, I won’t go into a recap of what the entire storyline is about, but u can read it off Wikipedia. However, there is a bit of similarity with Gundam Seed (and Destiny), as well as Gundam Wing.

First and foremost, the Gundams are the robots (or tools of war) by Celestial Being (some paramilitary organisation) to rid the world of war (or so they say). And these Gundams as usual have technology which are way advanced and beyond what the world has. With reference to Gundam Wing, it’s similar in the sense that the Gundams were used to attack the government, but in Wing the pilots worked independently. Here, they work as a team with a controlling entity.

And there is the SEED feel to it all, admist the mambo-jumbo of the first 3 episodes. Man…gonna watch more before I can give some real info of this new series.

And to top it off, what an interesting article by Darkmirage on Nyoro~n Subs on the translation boo-boos…wait…did I say boo-boos? Or were they more than meets the eye?

Gosh. The translations were totally OFF TRACK and I was really bewildered about the sub, till C&M’s one came alone, a day later though. Much better quality and better fansub, definitely!

I’ll keep the recent episode by Nyoro~n Subs for laughter.
