Gundam 00 The Movie

[TheBladeChild]

Heres some info I came across, dunno if its legit but its something to chew on(mentally) until we hear more news.

http://www.animevice.com/news/new-information-about-gundam-00-movie-suits/2185/

heres the source:

Gundam 00 Quanta, Setsuna’s unit. Exia’s lineage. It has binders and shield on its left shoulder, as well as numerous Funnels (informal name).
Gundam Harut, Allelujah’s unit. Harut and Marut are two angels mentioned in the Qur’an. The Gundam has a visor like the Astraea and the GN Archer. It can transform.
Gundam Zabaniya, Lyle’s unit. The Zabaaniyah are the gardians of Hell in the Qur’an. Looks like a close-combat unit. It has a slim torso and big legs like the Virtue. It carries a “GN Armor lite” on its back.Main weapon : Double hand gun.
Gundam Raphael, Tieria’s unit. See the Archangel Raphael. It has wired cannons in its fingers (like the Belphegor Gundam) and 4 cannons on its shoulders.

So...they're like mix 'n matching suits now?

[masamuneehs]

all i know is, while i am a little curious to see how this thing ends, i have absolutely zero motivation for going and coughing up the $15 USD to see this movie when it airs here. even after whole heartily enjoying portions of the series, the way the series ended and my overall feelings about the 00-verse hasn't sold me on it.

it's like i watched a 18 hour trailer/preview, and it STILL didn't sell me on the movie...

[Kraco]

And Allelujah’s unit talks about two angels, so perhaps his girlfriend is getting one as well.

This is the only thing that makes me want to see the movie.

00 Quanta?:
http://i.imagehost.org/0359/00_Quanta.png
The Guys from Animesuki says that it's from the official website. I went ther to look for it myself but got lost since I don't know japanese :p
Anyway it, I think it looks cool, a bash of Exia and 00's design.

Hmm... It looks like it's missing the TDS

I have a feeling that we're going to have the oppisite with this suit as opposed to Teiras other suits; he will pilot the smaller Gundam while having a bigger one on reserve.



Where's Soma's Suit?
Shes not supposed to be fighting anymore as per Sergey's wishes.



Hmm... It looks like it's missing the TDS
There rumors going around that it will be in its "shield".

[Kraco]

Shes not supposed to be fighting anymore as per Sergey's wishes.

Unless she's pregnant, I don't see her not fighting if Allelujah fights. She's a super soldier herself with an appropriate mentality.

[Illrenmazou]

Movie Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4svzVOwNYlk)

Most of the staff are shown in the beginning. So you know who you'll gonna go after if the movie didn't meet your expectation. j/k

[Kraco]

Those graphical designers looked like a lively bunch of people. Too bad the actual movie material didn't reveal anything more than the still shots already presented in this thread earlier. More like a teaser than a trailer, really.

I wanted to see Soma...

[Buffalobiian]

As much as I'd like to see Soma, I'm really interested in seeing how Felt x Setsuna are going, given how randomly slotted-in their relationship is.

Oh, and Tieria x little girl, maybe they talk on IRC. :p

[Yukimura]

Screw Felt and Mileina, Setsuna x Gundam and Teiria x Veda are the OTP's of the 00 universe! Marie x Allelujah and Lockon x Anew and Saji x Louise should have filled the quota for traditional romance stories already!!!

In other news WOOT main character bits/funnels/DRAGOON's. Nothing says broken like Epic plot armor and multiple independent attack devices.

[animus]

Setsuna's new suit's shield looks like it opens into Freedom Wings. >_>

[vejita613]

Unless she's pregnant, I don't see her not fighting if Allelujah fights. She's a super soldier herself with an appropriate mentality.
Someone pointed out to me that if you look on the back of Harute, there looks to be something that resembles a GN Archer. So, Soma could very well be in there afterall.


Setsuna's new suit's shield looks like it opens into Freedom Wings. >_>
I was thinking more along the lines of Nu Gundam, personally.

[Dark Dragon]

In other news WOOT main character bits/funnels/DRAGOON's. Nothing says broken like Epic plot armor and multiple independent attack devices.

I was a little annoyed by that until i remembered that the 00 suit could actually freaking teleport.

[Illrenmazou]

I noticed that there's a cleaned-up lineart of the Dynames with equipment that hasn't appeared in S1, S2 and the side story manga/novels. Hmm... Possible appearance of Dynames-Repair in the movie?
There's a new Flag and GN-X variant in the behind the scenes too.

[vejita613]

I thought someone posted this bit of information in this thread but I cant seem to find it. In anycase, apparently one of the papers in the trailer says "Flag, Setsunna Custom" or something along those lines.

[Illrenmazou]

Official Linearts:

00 Qan[T]: I'm really loving it's simple yet elegant design (Kudos to Ebikawa). It looks like it's GN Fang rack can swivel from left to right. And the rumors are right, the second GN Drive is mounted on the "sheild" with the swivel arm linking it to the other for the Twin Drive System.
Zabanya: Thank goodness the box feet from Cherudim are gone. Looks good but those equipments, which looks like weapons containers, sticking out of it's ass looks awkward.
Harute: "What happened to the 0-Riser?" I guess this will answer that question <_<. I guess the design may grow on me.
Raphael: I really hope those things on the shoulders are parts to form another MS. It better have those obscure equipments like extra arms. It's not a Tieria Erde Gundam without those!

[Harima Kenji]

Raphael: I really hope those things on the shoulders are parts to form another MS. It better have those obscure equipments like extra arms. It's not a Tieria Erde Gundam without those!
I'm pretty sure that they are armor parts. It looks to me like they are (in S1 therms) a Nadleeh to Virtue conversion. So instead of purging armor, it actually attaches to it.
If you look closely at the backpack, you can make out a front skirt and sideskirts and probable bigass arms. Maybe on the backside there is a backskirt and maybe even a chest armor thingie.

[TheBladeChild]

Heres the latest trailer for the movie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMEqrNLKnV8

Gotta admit, theres a few wtf revalations in this trailer. O_o

[Paulyboy]

God I really loved the Gundam 00 series more that any of the other ones. Hope the movie is good, I really loved the 2nd op by Ash Like Snow.

[Buffalobiian]

Ash Like Snow was certainly an enjoyable song. If I had to pick my favourites though, I'd have to take the EDs. Protype, Trust You and Friends top my list.

[TheBladeChild]

We got a title for the movie now: "A wakening of the Trailblazer"

Not enough Soma :(

[Paulyboy]

YAY! Graham and Setsuna fights, I have always enjoyed their rivalry its like a knight vs a samurai. Setsuna also has fangs! and the new models look bad ass though, especially Hallelujah's.

[Kraco]

Not enough Soma :(

Let's hope there'll be enough in the actual movie. It's not like she'd be the main character so it's pure luck if she gets a role so significant it wrrants much screen time.

Dang... wish I had seen this post earlier so I could have let it downloading at home and watch tonight :(

[masamuneehs]

i think we're being trolled pretty hard with this release.

and it also feels like this movie is complete and utter ridiculous bullshit.

i'm going to wait for a group that isn't a bunch of immature trolls to release this. then i'm probably going to hate it anyway...

[EpyonNext]

Did gSS troll the script or some such?

[NeoCybercoin]

I've seen a small part of what I downloaded but the subs look normal.

EDIT: I see that they didn't translate some words like kisame-ra and ore-tatsi. Also...Celestial Being is something completely different now. They just translated how it sounds....

[Harima Kenji]

Those kind of translations were only in the first few minutes. You'll kind of understand it after the first scene. After that the translations are normal and are pretty good.

if somebody told you there was vomit on a hamburger, but then told you that it was okay, because only 5% of the hamburger contained actual vomit, would you still eat it?

not I.

[NeoCybercoin]

No he's right it's only the first few minutes that's used.

Anyway, just finished it. I'll reserve my comments in order not to "spoil" it for those who haven't watched it yet.

[Sentenal]

My favorite part of the movie was when Setsuna pretended he was in the Turn-A and teleported away so he could return lated as an ageless albino, and then the aliens turned into a giant space flower.

Haku told me to change to the second "boring" subtitle track. That one's fine.

Movie comments follow:

-------------------------------------------------










Overall I found this movie alright. There were things I did like, and things I didn't that roughly balanced it out to "meh".

- Aliens: During Ribbons Almark vs Setsuna, I got T-1000 vibes. Since that part, I had a feeling that these guys were awfully familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then, during the final parts of the movie it hit me. Fafner. Those guys screamed Fafner aliens to me, and that isn't a good thing. In general I just hate the mindless, assimilating, formless aliens who are waiting to be understood. There's no dialogue or development till the very end, which tends to be lackluster anyway. You fight swarms and swarms of these things (and it doesn't matter what they are, really, be it metal, silicon, or chunks rock) until someone tells them to stop.

I don't feel any tension or drama from that. On the other hand, the whole unmanned vehicle accidents and pseudo-Ribbons attacks were my favourite. At least those guys look and feel evil. The Hallelujah dodging scene at the power plant was arguably the best scene in this movie.

- Characters in the show: I didn't feel anything for most of them. The Mina girl confused the hell out of me since I thought she was Nina Trinity the whole time. Shaman Innovator guy could have been a decent villian (he had the looks, even if his evilness was cookie-cutter labrat style), but his role ended up being near-totally disposable, save for telling us the rest of mankind are evolving. edit: on second thought, that's important for the story. I just felt he could have been more. Graham - what's his deal in this story again? As for Setsuna, I never liked him taking the Superman role ever since the second season of 00 with his 00-Raiser + hacks. He just doesn't shine. Nothing about him is likeable, really.

Except his gundam.

There were ones I did like though.

Tieria - man, this guy went from being a complete asshole in S1 to being pretty badass since S2 onwards. I smiled when Desu-girl declared her love for him. About time he gets something back.

Mr Invincible - aka ACE of the EU, or Mr always-gets-shot-down. I don't care if he's just comedy relief. That guy's got style, and totally owns Mannequin. That guy's the luckiest bastard in this whole series.

S2 favourites were Al and Soma, but they were done like 5 episodes in. They've been side characters ever since. Nothing ever happens with them anymore.


Mobile Suits - my main gripe is the lack of discrimination between them all. It was going that way in S2, and now they finished it. Flag, A-Laws, Gundams, they're all the same. They've all got GN drives, all got GN fields and all have beam cannons. No suit had any tactical advantage over another and just turned out into one big shootout

Even if you say Lockon isn't as good at his brother, you didn't have to give him indiscriminate shooting did you? I laughed pretty hard at that one.

Al without Hal is just mediocre. (the dialogue before going into six-eye-mode was so weird it has hilarious).

Veda being used like a public library was another strange turn of events - the new peace administration is so unrealistically unselfish.


Action was good. One would expect nothing less from theatrical Sunrise release.


As a movie being the final chapter to the 00 franchise, I can't say it did badly in wrapping up all the loose threads - in fact, I think it managed to get them all. But inorganic, assimilating aliens?

..I couldn't bring myself to care.

[NeoCybercoin]

Don't forget Trans Graham now! That made me laugh out loud when I read it.

[RyougaZell]

Awesome action scenes with a terrible junk ending. I'm gonna pretend this never existed. :(

Except Mina. I want her.

[shinta|hikari]

@Buff - The pattern for any gundam series is similar to what you described. The more the gundams get advanced, the more similar they become and the less tactical the battles end up.

Gundam shows generally go downhill in terms of quality.

G Gundam disagrees

[shinta|hikari]

You mean because it never had tactics in the first place?

Well, yeah.

I'm not saying it's bad, but it certainly isn't your usual gundam fare, much like 8th MS team.

[EpyonNext]

So I watched the movie this morning. I liked it. It did indeed wrap up all the loose ends nicely, however, the issue of Setsuna's love interests could have probably been handled in a much less forced manner(but that would have had to have started in season 2, which it barely touched on at all).

Edit: I just noticed that all the Gundams are twin drives. Intresting.

[Sentenal]

Was what I was referring to.

[Kraco]

I only now watched the movie. I didn't even mind the joke subs in the beginning because it became more than obvious very quickly it wasn't the real deal. I mean, even if you forget the subs completely, the scenes and action was like from a parody film. I can't believe how Masa got so trolled...

The first half was a lot better than the second, for reasons Bill already listed. As long as it seemed there might have been something behind the attacks it piqued interest but as soon as it was made evident it's nothing but a faceless hivemind, it fell flat. Especially practically knowing how it would necessarily need to end this belonging to the 00 greater story.

Not a movie to watch for a second time but I didn't get bored as such thanks to the good animation and the few decent characters. Still, I would have liked to see Al and Soma with a child... But at least we got another death escaping scene by Patrick 'Indestructible' Colasour. That guy is a hilarious idiot. Almost made up for Ali's absence.

[Carnage]

Oh god I just watched this movie it was so bad.

[shinta|hikari]

Dammit why did you have to remind me of my disappointment.

[Mizuchi]

...Did the producers seriously just realize, "shit we have 3 minutes to wrap up this movie. Cut the battle scene, insert giant flower. Yeah that makes enough sense. Yeah we'll go with that."

I am in a state of absolute confusion.

[Buffalobiian]

The movie makes sense. It's great in terms of wrapping up all the loose ends of the 00 series.

It's just not.. that enjoyable.

[Carnage]

Please, this movie sucked donkey balls.

[Buffalobiian]

Please, this movie sucked donkey balls.

I said it wasn't enjoyable.

However, I did give it credit for what it did well - tying off 00.

I don't think I left much unsaid in one of my previous (http://forums.gotwoot.net/showthread.php/17729-Gundam-00-The-Movie?p=479864&viewfull=1#post479864) posts.

[Mizuchi]

Are you serious? What was the giant flower? How did they get the big metal things to stop? wut?

[enkoujin]

This movie wasn't that bad. It just feels terrible for you guys because y'all didn't spend an hour after a movie analyzing the finer details of the story.

[Buffalobiian]

Are you serious? What was the giant flower? How did they get the big metal things to stop? wut?

The big metal things stopped after Setsuna warped to their homeworld and integrated with them - showing them and conversing with them about the human world. The aliens seemed to be able to assimilate, but never communicate. It seems that Setsuna was able to maintain his sense of self when he integrated with them.

As for the flower, that can take on a few meanings:

-Life: The flower was a motif in the earlier parts of when Setsuna was unconscious and wandering around the earth, watching everyone fighting and putting forth effort in order to live. It was also a replica of the space-flower, which in turn was symbolism for Felt, who brought Setsuna "back to life".

-Change: Change in order to live was the last thought Setsuna had before he woke from his slumber. Lockon asked Setsuna to change in place of him (who could not drop his previous hatred and understand/encompass all those around him). Setsuna himself has indeed changed, and back in Gundam 00 S2 Episode 22, he probably wouldn't have accepted that flower from Felt (being the self-centric, stubbon brat he was at the beginning of the series), nor attempted to understand and consider her feelings. FYI the title of Gundam 00 S2 Episode 23 is "Flower of Life".

One can also take it as that the ELS themselves were capable of change, and changed their form to something that humans could understand.


The above meanings can be derived from the series/movie alone. However, I do believe the true meaning can only be felt after reading the movie prologue chapter that bridges the gap between S2 and the movie.

Kid 2: Yaeru, that's a story on TV!

Kid (Yaeru): But...!

Marina: My, what a lovely bride.
As for me... I'm not going anywhere.

She was born in this country and will live here.
(Thoughts) And one day, she will die here.

Maybe being on standby all the time has made you tired.

Page 6
Setsuna: Thank you, Feldt. I'm fine.
Let's depart soon after repairs are finished.
If we don't move, the chance of us being detected becomes greater.

Feldt: That's right...
This place is lovely, but it wouldn't do to stay in the same place all the time.

Setsuna: (thoughts) A place that you remain in.

Page 7
Setsuna: (thoughts) In this world, that place doesn't exist anywhere.
Only moving, only advancing.
The sky above us is where I exist. [ "sky" here is written with kanji that mean "outer space". ]

Setsuna: I just came to see you one last time.

Always.
I will protect this country here!

Marina: Promise me just one thing!
Wherever you go, be happy!
I'll always be here, so if one day you return to this country...!

Setsuna: Marina Ismail.
You are the only princess of Azadistan... of my country.

Page 13/14
(Setsuna's thoughts?) In the cracked, sandy ground, you bloomed like a flower.
No matter how far you stretched your hand, you didn't reach it.
Far away and high up, the sky cleared.
You were like that sky.
I will not return any more.
I will not return.
I believed that advancing from where you came from was strength.
To that me, you...
No matter how many times it took, you stood up and rebuilt.
You taught that kind of strength to me.

Setsuna: Strange, isn't it?
No matter how much the land withers...
Flowers always bloom.

Regene: Hanging out here, maintaining this sort of unimportant image...
It's so boring. I wonder if there's something interesting I could do...

Tieria: Don't.

Regene: [ I am really wary of translating this line, because if I get it wrong I could imply something about Ribbons' current state that I'm not sure if I'm supposed to. He's talking about Ribbons being stored somewhere, but he can't talk to Ribbons. ]

Hey, this body... do you like the base pattern?

Tieria: Whether I like it or not, it's me.

Regene: Uwaaa, Tieria's showing his human influence!

Tieria: Whether I've been influenced or not, I'm human.

[ the word used here is 'kabure', which means variously influence, affectation, crazy about, etc. I chose the least awkward translation for sake of ease, but basically Regene's going "there you go, acting all human like you like to, you crazy kid!" Sort of. ]

Tieria: It won't end.

Tieria: Setsuna
I'm looking forward to the next time we can meet...

Lyle: What happened, Feldt?

Feldt: Oh... I'm sorry, it's just my hair clip.

Lyle: [text is too blurry, but he's wondering if it's fixable]

Feldt: That... If it's broken beyond repair, that's a problem!
Chris gave it to me...

Page 24
Feldt: Oh no...
Since it's precious, I should have put it away safely.

Lyle: Don't worry about it.
Since it's important, you wanted it close to you, right?
Let's see here... want me to try and fix it?

Feldt: Fix it...?

Lyle: It just popped out of place, so it should be fine, right?

Sumeragi: What are you doing? Looks like fun!

Page 25
Feldt: Sumeragi-san!
Lockon is just fixing my hair clip for me.

Sumeragi: What a handyman!

Lyle: I wouldn't go that far.

Sumeragi: Oh, by the way. I've had an update from Allelujah. It seems that the two of them are near the Himalayas. I wonder if they can see Mt. Everest?

Feldt: They can't see it.

Sumeragi: That kid's got unending amounts of doubt, too!

Lyle: Isn't that fine?
People who can decide without doubting at all scare me.

Lyle: It's done.

Feldt: Thank you, Lockon!
I'm so happy.

Your hair's grown, hasn't it.

Allelujah: Yeah...

Marie: It's gotten nice.

Allelujah: Marie... do you want to go back to where everyone else is?

Marie: Sure. As long as I'm with you, Allelujah, there's nowhere I can't go.

Allelujah: It's peaceful, isn't it.
It's like there's no one in the world but us.

Marina: From time to time, when night comes...
I think that you've come back to visit me.

Page 31
Marina: If I said I wanted to come with you, would you bring me up into the sky?
No...
You and I, that's not what we wish for.
I will wait here, spreading roots and allowing flowers to grow.
So that the you of the sky can see them too...

Marina: I am your measure of eternity.

That chapter really explains Marina words about seeing Setsuna's thoughts, why he wanted to make a giant flower in space, and why Marina ends up having a giant flower garden by the time she's 81.

00 was also split well into 3 parts - S1, S2, Movie

World politics: Unite the 3 powers of the world with each other -> Unite conservative humanity with Innovadors -> Unite humanity with extra-terrestrial life.

Technology: Develop the quantum particles to produce Innovators -> develop the 00 engine to allow for quantisation/thought transmission -> Develop a warp engine to use all of the above for the "dialogue to come".





As a movie, it had its shortcomings. I really didn't care for half the shit that happened (aka anything outside of beams and missiles and Soma).

As a finishing piece to the whole series? I have to applaud it. It puts an entirely different (and revealing) spin on Aeolia Schoenberg's plans and the purpose of Celestial Being.

Are you serious? What was the giant flower? How did they get the big metal things to stop? wut?

It's the ELS' way of saying:

-"Oh, assimilating things is bad? Let's tell them we're sorry."
-"But we can't communicate with them!"
-"Then let's tell that guy who can we communicate with we're sorry."
-"Umm... he just left."
-"Then what are we supposed to do?!"
-"Hey, when we read that guy's mind, there's this soft radial yellow thing-y that keeps popping out. It seems that, to him this, this is the symbol for peace."
-"Let's use that shape!"
*ELS Mothership transforms to a giant space flower*
-"This looks gay... Oh wait it's working!"

And they lived happily ever after... The End.

I really don't get why some people can't get the purpose of the giant space flower. Sure, it looks stupid but it made sense.

And if you're still confused or have more questions, I suggest that you listen to Gundamn!@MAHQ's episode 70 podcast. (http://gundamnmahq.blogspot.com/2011/01/gundamn-mahq-ep-070-dialogues-have-come.html)

It's the ELS' way of saying:
*words*


Well put, it makes sense now. So just to clarify, the ELS didn't realize that it was fucking Earth up by assimilating everything?

[Illrenmazou]

Yeah. They learn how something work by assimilating it. That's why they were able to replicate Earth's weapons, mobile suits and even people (the Ribbons clone and even Shaman in the manga). What they didn't know was assimilation is a bad thing for living things.

[Inazuma]

This made me want to puke

[vejita613]

Personally, I loved the movie with the exception that they dont show what happens to everyone afterwards.

[animus]

I saw this yesterday. God this shit was bad. Sentient pieces of scrap metal is bad enough, but the ending was even more retarded. Actually the whole movie was awful except for the revised Gundams.
