    Gundam 00 Episode 12



    "Life is hilariously cruel" by Bender

    Alright I've finally come to accept that CB 'laser' weapons aren't the same as SEED type lasers and they don't just pass through matter like it's tissue paper and then cause it to explode.

    The Grahah vs Lockon Battle was very interesting, I really liked how it showed a physical toll being taken on Grahams' body for dodging those shots. Though I still don't understand how he can be reacting in time to dodge a shot that's traveling at least as fast as his own bullets if not faster, but at least there are still some physics governing his reaction to the dodging.

    As to the plot, I have completely lost interest in it at this point. Boo war, yay intervention, religion makes people crazy, etc, etc. Get on to the next battle soon please.

    Well, this was a good intro episode for whats about to happen. I think Setsuna is going to evolve as a pilot, since I think he's facing his old master/instructor.


    For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.

    Dual wielding Dynames looked pretty awesome.That twirly shield thing on the flag was interesting. We've seen it before, but it does make a lightweight and less cumbersome shield. I just don't see how normal pilots would be able to react like Graham did and block them all, a bit like blocking shots with a sword. Yeah, Yuki mentioned that the Gundam's lasers don't have godly penetration. I wonder how well it'll work out for Lockon though if he gets a shot in after transferring full power to his weapons system.

    Seeing Setsuna saying "I'm not Gundam." was pretty interesting. It makes sense too. He was saved by a Gundam when he was a kid, and has been admiring them like a God ever since. Being chosen as a Gundam Meister, he thinks of himself as the rightful person to carry out this god's task. But having failed to rescue the children in such a way that the first Gundam had rescued him, he now sees himself as unfit for the role.

    No Gundam next week...*sigh*, which series isn't taking an Xmas break?

    I do agree with you both, just to a certain extent.

    Anno Domini is a new universe to the Gundam metaverse. It's understandable if they want to take some time and establish...well, everything. I haven't seen a Gundam series in a long time, but they have taken their time establishing everything before in the past. G (the last series I watched) took a long time establishing characters in each of the nations before getting into the Devil/Dark Gundam main plot.

    So yes, it is about time that Gundam 00 decided to give us a focus on the plot, since it is so far only listed as 25 episodes.

    However, now that they have introduced us to all the characters, established their relative views, positions, and opinions on the world, CB, and their effect, more complicated plots can be covered without having to reestablish the viewpoints of the already large cast.
