Yes, I managed to finish this super-solid first season in light of the coming sequal. Why the hell didn’t I finish it until now? Not sure, but, I’m glad to be amped for next month.
Most of my Gundam 00 episodic impressions can be found at melative, but I will say this about Gundam 00: It surpasses Code Geass by a big margin. Which sort of redeems the Sunrise in my eyes, after R2… but doesn’t G00 predate R2 O.o
My real beef is that, Code Geass S1 was quite a good series, and ended decently, but G00 had a much better first season than Geass. Now, if Sunrise decided to take to R2 form with this second season of G00, I will be _______. Right!
Simply, here are some points G00 has over Geass, which Sunrise could totally FFFF:
- Composure (G00 was well-oiled, Geass was shredded tranny)
- Beauty (Space-Beautiful vs ugly persona, or die)
- Resolve (G00 has a handle to grasp, Geass is excite bike on acid)
- Identification (I can feel for members of Celestial Being, Geass everyone has un-human decision-making skills)
- Meaning (Eradicate war vs the world as a chess board)
- Justification (sound flow to Geass’s inverse variant of logic)
- Romance (mine as well, even if it is faint… Setsuna and Marina have a deeper relationship than everyone in Geass except Lulu X Suzaku)
Har Har. Whether I exaggerate or not, I still believe Gundam 00 has more wholesome attributes than Geass, and by far a more invigorating watch, without the eyerolls and doggie bag.
