Episode 2 XviD - GundamSnet
Episode 2 h264 - GundamSnet
Since Mendoi said on their site, they'd plan to release at a high pace, I'll take their word for it for a bit. Since their stuff are usually high quality, and GundamS just aren't very good (though a speed subber).
The encoding is higher in quality, that much is noticable, but what about the translations? I actually found, surprisingly, that Nyoro~n Fansubs made more sense, despite their fairly fast release rate.Originally Posted by animus
I'll pass on GundamS
Their script is better imo. Their phrases are clean and make sense. I haven't watched Nyoro~n's release of the first episode however.
You're referring to Mendoi > GundamS? I agree in that case. I just want to ask for other people's opinion regarding translation accuracy of Mendoi as opposed to Nyoro~n. Mendoi, imo, seem to warp the phrases a bit too much for my liking, but it's not like I know exactly what they're saying anyway, so hence the need for other's opinion. I'll get both versions again this week to compare, though my dl cap's not liking it...
The battle of the two opposing factions in Sri-Lanka was awsome! The battle formations, the Teiren and the Amph units' slow but realistic movements made it great, until the CB came and hell breaks loose.
And I'm really liking that Graham guy. I hope his amazement for the Gundams won't become an obsession. Waiting for the Excia Vs Flag battle next ep
GundamS is not very good i find (encoding is ok though).
about the ep. AWESOME!
I have no idea where this is going but it was just greatness. the battle scenes are way better than the looped SEED scenes. also, the more down to earth weapons give the war a grittier feel imo.
nobody posted the Nyoro~n release yet?
Gundam00 - Episode 02 - Nyoro~n Fansubs
Well, I really am starting to not like the way they simply repeat shit about 'Celestial Being is going to stop war!' 'That's right, we're Celestial Being!' 'Piloting Gundam is what it means to be Celestial Being'.
Points of interest: Finally got a a breakdown of the political situation. I honestly found this the most interesting aspect of the episode. I particularly liked the Union president focusing on how CB has "taken over the role" of the international peacekeeper. Shows that although all CB's attacks have focused agains the HRL and the AEU sofar, they've done idealogical damage to the Union as well.
Sumeragi is not the old man, but the ship's captain? I'm confused... I thought they were referring to a man when they were talking about Sumeragi in the first episode... Perhaps the female captain is the daughter of some other guy?
The man who appeared on the video is over 200 years old? Yes, villain, villain, villain.
Strange... when was the last time a Gundam pilot owning a Haro unit wasn't the main character? I do like Lockon. And Setsuna is so due for a breakdown. Zoning out, failing to communicate with teammates, saying that he is Gundam... yeah, kid is due for breakdown...
Graham is win. So is Tieria (the crossdresser). I like his 'I look gay, but I'm the tough one' attitude. It's not what you'd expect from the feminine character. That one guy's counter of "You're the one saying I'm cowardly?" seemed, to me, to be a shot at Tieria's possibly hiding his sexuality. The action at Sri Lanka was good, and I was much satisfied to see the Gundams going for enemy cockpits and, all in all, killing the majority of their foes.
I also like Tieria because, so far, he's the most original of the Gundam pilots I've seen. Setsuna almost equals Heero Yuy. Hallelujah has Duo's religion motif and the habit of talking to his Gundam, but has the depressed stoic attitude of Trowa. Lockon is Duo's personality in Trowa's mech. Tieria acts the most like Wufei, or even a less hostile Yzak, but he's still pretty much his own character.
And it pretty much is established that the GN particles used for jamming are going to function alot like the Minovsky Particles from UC.
What failed about the episode: The hot Chinese chick talking like a broken record. The Gundams leaving their flagship up in space undefended. Hello? Where the fuck are the HRL's space forces? You guys should have followed them after the Pillar party, or at least tried to find where they launched from when they went to Sri Lanka...
The plot does set it up though, so that the 3 factions are focused on the Earth and defending their territory there, plus their respective Elevators. CB, especially with their name, seems to have really started up in space, and since neither faction has real control up there, it seems to have allowed them the time and room to mobilize as they appear now. Also lets them sortie from space quite easily.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
That Alleluhia said "Sumaragi-san" , -san usually denotes a girl right?

Not necessarily. Belldandy says Keichi-san, and Megumi says Ke-chan, Rock Lee says Sakura-san, Sana says Aoi-chan (Myself ; Yourself).
Anyone can be -san. It's the most general term to use.

Grahm Acre REALLY needs a mask, maybe his fight with Setsuna will disfigure his face and he'll put one on. I mean he's supposedly a Lieutenant and he can just order a Carrier to just go where ever he wants it...that's more like a Special Forces Captain/Colonel level authority.
As Masa said the action was nice, but a lot of it felt like rehashing. Setsuna is Heero, Lockon is Duo (chinese chick -> Duo's gf?) and Halleluah is Trowa. Tieria did strike me as the most original character as well , but he's just creepy so I'm not really liking him at the moment.
And the creepy guy being 200 years old, easy explanation, that video was taped when CB was founded and played when they were finally ready to make their move. I'd say there's around 5 to 1 odds against that actually being the case.

I think the video with the 200-year-old man is actually a recording from...200 years ago. That was when they were laying down the ground work for Celestial Being and started development on the secret Gundams. 200 years later and they've finally completed the preparations.
Yuki already said that 2 posts before yours O_o
Yeah I realized that after I posted.
That's a rather strange way to unite the world. To actually achieve a final goal like that, they would have to be undefeatable. Otherwise, the countries would start fighting each other again once CB is gone, since by their logic, there always needs to be an object of hatred. How they plan to achieve that kind of sustainability is beyond me.
200 years............later.....Anywho, the idea of beating the shit out of anyone who starts a war regardless of the side and as many times as it takes is all well and good. But one would think that eventually the waring sides would set a trap for the Celestial beings or something.
R.I.P Captain America.
One thing that caught my attention is how they intend to unify the world. They said right at the end of the episode that by randomly striking anyone and everyone, attacking over and over until the whole world hates only them.
Also Allelujah's line about becoming a mass-murderer was a nice touch.
I'm still wondering what Louise and her boyfriend who both live in the Japan Special Economic zone of the Union have to do with the series. It always seems like the "normal" people in Gundam series have really important roles later on.
And where's the princess-looking chick we keep seeing in the opening?
@masa: I wouldn't be so quick to say CB's flagship is undefended. It is one of the Gundam universes. Ordinance has a strange way of appearing out of nowhere or from behind hidden panels.
I like that idea, they'd probably just disappear after everyone's united.
And that girl you're talking about hasn't shown up yet.....
R.I.P Captain America.
She did once, actually, right after the first announcement in ep1. She said something like "to end war with war" ~20:54
Kinda interesting that Setsuna's Sri Lankan...I think; but yea, the one guy (lockon i think) brought up a good question: why would you put an instrument of destruction into the hands of someone clearly so mentally disturbed?? Not to say the rest of them are the most well-adjusted group of people...
