| Ali Al Sarshes with his new mobile suit in the OP has given me a HUGE boner. Graham's looking epic too. I'm deadset loving this already. AND OMG LASSE lol at the "Gundam Specialist" |
 |
| This was just amazing. I honestly belevive that this is the start of the best gundam series jet! Exia looked amazing. But I was kinda hoping for someone else to pilot it upgrade it and have use another GN drive. I was kinda expecting more from Sadji's first meeting with a Gundam pilot. Oh well next episode we see the next Lockon Stratos! Can't wait for the next ep of gundam 00! |

| Whoa, this episode was epic. I'm glad they didn't throw everything that happened in past 4 years at us in first episode... I wonder if Saji will be joining CB now? I mean they can't really let him go now he knows so much. I want to know more about Tieria lookalike. |

| Is there a better word for epic? Since I believe we need a new word for this. The pacing was great, the animation was done superb. Everything was done great. I was quite sad to see the credits. I really want to see more. |
 |
| Great, but I expect a bit more next time ;) |
| ~de Arimasu |
| still "wow-ing". Ribbons annoys me. |
     |
| so much set up. corrupt government will lead to in fighting + return of celestial being. interesting to see more of that group that was being targetted by the government. need to see more about tieria. surprised that sumeragi wasn't with the others though, seems odd after 4 years she just went to go shack up with billy haha. |

Do they honestly have a gender? ...If you can though, I'll beat you to it. Yes. If you say you can't, I'll just strap a ginormous dildo onto one. Problem solved. :D And that episode was freaking epic. And amazing. |

| Fantastic start to the season. However, Neil Dylandy will be the only Lockon Stratos in my book. Accept no imitations! |

| The premier was not quite as fantastic as I expected with only one of the new Gundams exhibiting its hax improvement over the previous generation. but that's offset by the appearance of Feldt. woohoo. |
    |
| damn first episode its fucking great...... i just finished watching the episode the 10th time now :D.... i`m pretty much out of words.......so `ill say this.. masterpiece...... can wait for the next episode ..... when it will be released 12 octomber? |
| And just when I thought that right now there isn't a show that is great as Code Geass ... I'm glad I was wrong because this first episode was awesome !!! The second season could be better than the first. What's with the Louise's eyes ??? Don't tell me she is also special :( I always liked "super eyes" :D EDIT: Is there a song for the battle scene in this episode - if yes, name please :) ? |

| The first episode of the first season was better but this was still a very nice episode. Loved seeing angry Hallelujah in the cell. Looking forward to more. |

| Very good start - most of the important characters have been re-introduced (or at least glimpsed at), and the the plot is ramping up quite fast. |

| Awesome episode! ^.^ I can't wait for the next one. |
 |
| Oh yes this was bloody awesome! After a painful wait Gundam 00 is back in style. Great action and loads of promise for a great final season. In short I'm hooked again. |
 |
| Terminator Exia ftw I was so sad to see it destroyed. It was totally badass. |

| I loved the new series. Season 2 is looking better than R2 from the 1st ep but we will see how things go i love every gundam including GSD xD dont hat em for it i just love them But this is looking so much better than GSD |
 |
| awesome....... i can't wait for 24 more episodes................ |
| I'm just going to start off by saying that everyone should cut Jacut a little slack. Sure, he's mostly wrong, but this is a forum where we discuss ideas, no matter how incredibly biased and poorly worded they are. This was a good episode. I agree with whoever said this was like a big trailer for the rest of the season, because that's really how it felt (Feldt): little bits of information being filtered through here and there. I especially enjoy the series' continued use of different techniques for telling the overall story (interweaving news clips with personal interaction with overall organizational views). It looks like Saji and Louise are going to be pretty obnoxious this season, though, and I hope that it turns into a pleasant surprise and there's epic Saji/Louise mech fights every episode. Setsuna looks like he might not totally suck at piloting this season, though I had to facepalm at the Gundam Cape. Seravee looks terrible. I can't even tell which parts are supposed to be humanoid anymore (though the headpiece snapping out was pretty sweet). New OP is sweet and awesome and good (they always do a good job with the closing shot, too). Lyle's recruitment was just ridiculous, though. They really didn't beat around the bush on that one, so either they couldn't figure out a good way for him to "bump into" Celestial Being or they just didn't have time to make a good recruiting story. Regardless, I'm a little sad that Lockon's going to just get replaced, and that everyone's going to have to deal with conflicting emotions of looking at Lyle and thinking about Lockon all season. Oh well... Look forward to the next episode. |

| Freaking good start, want more right now. |
 |
| Wow...WOW, This was really much better then I was expecting. Normally the first ep is a big flop but this definitely wasn't. I like how most of the original cast is back and still alive. Although I hope they keep it realistic and not come up with shitty excuses for how they survived. I'm also happy they're sticking with the slow story telling pace. This seemed to piss people off in the first season but I think it makes it way more interesting learning about things as they happen and not learning about everything in one or two eps. As much as I loved the first ep I do have some gripes with it. I hate how it's only been a half a year and a lot has dramatically changed. For example everyone's using Mecha that's equal to or better then Celestial Being's Gundams that where at the end of Series 1. Shit like that doesn't happen right after a world changing event. Not even if Livonse the cyborg leaked Veda info on how to make better Mecha (which I cant see him doing since it would mess up his plans). Also the fact that Louise is a Pilot after only half a year, probably less since Saji was already in space exactly a half a year ago. I did have a feeling she would be a pilot along with Saji at some point but I didn't see that happening so soon. I was a bit disappointed they threw that at us in the first episode. Also revealing that shels had some body mods done ala cyborg. Her brain also seems to be modification to react to Gundams...or may that was just her flipping out like Saji did seeing a Gundam after "so long". She also seems linked to Livonse too since he appeared to see what she saw when her eyes glazed over and lite up. In any case I'll continue to keep an open opinion like I did for the first season. I tend to like Gundam series better that way. comparing only makes things worse :P. I do hope it stays as epic. |

| Worth the waiting, an epic start for an epic gundam show. I really hope it will surpass SEED for me. and Deathfire it has been four years since the ending of season 1. |

| Wow, what a great introduction/first episode to the second season. And Code Geass is still ranked higher than this? Wow, I mean come on. Code Geass has nothing on this show. Great episode, looking forward to more. |

zerron said: What's with the Louise's eyes ??? Don't tell me she is also special :( I always liked "super eyes" :D I got the impression Livonse could see with her eyes (or s.t. like that because he immediately was able to identify the Gundam as "Exia"). Maybe she got some more cybernetic implants than just a new arm. Anyway, pretty cool episode for an episode 1. They already did a deep dive into the story. Most characters are looking more cool and mature now and there are plenty of mysteries to discover throughout the series. The new Opening song is nice (living up to both excellent OPs in S1). But seeing Louise like that really hurts. I am not too fond of her and her being an enemy emo-pilot is not really s.t. to look forward to. Also it's pretty cheap to bring back most ppls favorite character in form of a twin. But well ... Overall this looks promising and better than the "ok" first season. |

Forever said: Also it's pretty cheap to bring back most ppls favorite character in form of a twin. But well ... Not if they make him a bastard who tries to rape Feldt in the end episodes and gets killed with a knife stab into the eye. Knowing Mizushima, I doubt we will see good Lockon again :/ |
 |
| Amazing episode :) back for more Gundam goodness. Oh yeah, awesome OP. The beginning few seconds (I mean 2 or 3 D:) with the voice effects reminds me of another song though, my memory isn't good enough to remember which one exactly -.- |

Not even if Livonse the cyborg leaked Veda info on how to make better Mecha (which I cant see him doing since it would mess up his plans). Eh, I don't think it's that bad. For one Exia is at least 7 years old, since he was introduced as its pilot when he was 14. Secondly Exia wasn't exactly in mint condition, it's missing half its face and has a rag covering a missing arm ffs (that and it was fighting 2vs1). And Finally the GN-Xs were already a pretty big threat by the end of season 1, 3vs1 was enough to put any CB Gundam in serious danger, simply because the GN-Xs could seriously damage the Gundams. If you want ridiculous tech advancement just look at SEED/Destiny, they went from 0079 (UC) level tech at the start of SEED to late UC (covering several decades) by the end of Destiny, which happened in a span of less than 3 years. |
Forever said: her being an enemy emo-pilot. Why do people always have to throw this word around? Forever said: Also it's pretty cheap to bring back most ppls favorite character in form of a twin It's not like he magically appeared out of nowhere. He was obviously going to play a part since they bothered to introduce him so early on. DeathfireD said: I hate how it's only been a half a year and a lot has dramatically changed For you and everyone else in the 3D world, yes it has been a half a year. But in the Gundam 00 story setting, it hasn't. |
WingsOfLight28 said: Faust721 said: 4 years did some of the women good. Feldt <3 *agrees* =D You guys can't tell me that honestly stopped you before, can you? >.> Zeino said: Setsuna grew up really but his personality doesnt seem to be changed that is good XD Tieria is like always but he seems have changed thx to Lockon sure. I'm inclined to disagree on this one a bit, mainlu because I believe Setsuna's also grown up a bit. In fact, the four years seem to have done the younger characters in this show a lot of good. Setsuna seems to have at least grown up a bit and seems to be a bit less self-centered (evidenced by the thought about the world he and Lockon wished to create). Though, I will admit he is still a little on the blunt side, it looks like he's finally living for something more than his 'Gun...dam...' Feldt and Soma appear to have gained emotion as well, though this had been foreshadowed in the latter episodes of the previous season as well. geezer said: I am now wondering if Saji's gonna pilot a machine soon, too. Because in the opening, there was this sequence when they first showed Saji looking up at the sky, followed by Louise appearing next to her machine and after that we see some guy standing in front of the same background - Saji? Or some other pilot? I'm like 99% sure that's Sergei's son. geezer said: I am also wondering why Lyle!Lockon has the same voice as his twin. Twins don't necessarily have the same voices, do they? Not really. Laziness, I guess? Or possibly to make the 'adjustment' easier on the viewers? Or maybe because Shinichiro Miki is awesome? |

| wow. Can't say much about plot 'cause it's only one ep... but WOW. I need more :D IMO it will be best anime of season :D It's cool that characters are more mature. |
GuroFXOct 8, 2008 4:39 AM
| This ep really didnt disappoint! :D lol first we have Louise as Darth vader and then they shove Allelujah/Hallujah as Hannibal. Can't wait to see him released. The broken Exia was just cool, thats what the Deathscythe should of looked like. |
