Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Season 2

All DVDs worked and got to enjoy another Gundam series.

Be afraid of the next Gundam series... The art is pretty... interesting. Gundam AGE looks like Pokemon in space. So while you can, pick up a copy of Gundam 00 and enjoy the wonderful, more grown up look to this series.I will leave this brief review spoiler free. The story picks up a little after the events in the first half of the series ( Mobile Suit Gundam 00: The Complete First Season ). I actually bought the second season when it briefly dropped to $29.99 (from Amazon w/Prime shipping). I got lucky.The story line takes a different path in this half, but we see many of the same characters as in the first half. Again, no spoilers, but if you have finished the first half (which you should have before watching this half), then you know some people were lost. There are a few new characters introduced, and others take a more central role in the story. I think that Saji's character becomes one of the more interesting characters in a Gundam series yet.The animation is top caliber. The series was set up for HD, and was the first Gundam series to be animated with HD viewing in mind. Sadly, this release is currently only available on DVD, but even in standard definition, the animation is crisp and clean. The lines are so precisely drawn and the computer editing and animation is flawless.The audio is quite phenomenal as well. Sound effects are realistic and the mixing is such that they don't suddenly 'boom' and disturb neighbors. The Japanese audio is fantastic. Sunrise takes great pride in casting voice talent, and the voice actors are matched perfectly to their roles. The English dubbing is along the lines of previous Gundam series, just decent. If you can't stand reading subtitles, then I guess the English dub would suffice; but I highly recommend watching at least once with the Japanese audio track. The music is stellar as usual. Sunrise added some great tracks, and though the opening and closing songs aren't quite as good as the first season (L'Arc en Ciel and Brilliant Green both rocked the openings); one of my favorite Jpop bands, Stereopony, does have the fourth intro song and UverWorld has the third intro song. Both are very good, just not as rockstar as the first and second.Something I might point out. The Gundam series now is standing a bit above other mecha series. Part of this is the realistic future aspect of the series. Sunrise hired several consultants for this project. If you look at the credits, they have engineering consultants, physics consultants, and science fiction authors consulting. Pretty amazing that this studio is taking this franchise so seriously. Though it does make one wonder what they were thinking with Gundam AGE and the Pokemon/Eureka Seven look...This, to me, is the future of hand drawn / computer aided and edited animation. A remarkable series for story line and presentation. If you are a fan of the giant robot / mecha anime, then this is a stunning addition to the genre. Even for those who haven't gotten into mecha anime might give this series a whirl. It's remarkable for being more than just robot fighting. We have a rock solid story, amazing characters, flawless animation, and a realistic future setting. Buy and enjoy watching many times.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is simply the greatest series in the history of Gundam Shows. That may be a strong claim but it is easily supported. From the art style, to the gorgeous mobile suits, to the intense battles, to the engrossing plot, all the way to the dynamic and deep characters, this show has it all.I will start with my bias. While I respect the Universal Century for being the first of it's kind, I also feel as though it isn't worth any of the deification it continues to receive. Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, Zeta Zeta Gundam, and Char's Counterattack in particular have been given an unfair bias in the slew of Gundam games that has been hitting the market in the past ten years with all of their pilots and missions making it into the game while later series' are given token representation. That isn't fair as shows like Wing and Seed are better composed stores and shows like X, Turn A, and others are more intriguing to the American audiences that never got them. All this to say that I am definitely prejudice towards the newer series and have found 00 to be the cream of the crop.While Season 1 of Gundam 00 was enough to consider it a epic tale in its own right, the second season takes it straight through the stratosphere from Episode 1 and scarcely looks back. I could finesse every single detail of why Season 2 works, but what you need to hear is this: The show is astounding and if you haven't yet seen it... it is worth the money to invest. The first episode in particular (of Season 2) I was struck by. It seamlessly picks up where the first season left off and really sucks you right back into the world. It is a masterclass show and worth the consideration for certain.

I always have been a Gundam fan (except G-Gundam, didn't like that one...), and this series is like the others in that it is an anti-war story. I really like how the developers have tied the movie to the show, very few shows I have watched have done that so far.

Awesome. Gundam seed nearly chased the gundam faith out of me. First season was great and unique but 2nd seems to remind me of seed. Awesome series, awesome ms but floats around and becomes too seed for me. Otherwise its great,animation is top notch and must own for any gindam fan. Extras are mediocre but hd is badass. Refer to gundam unicorn for the ultimate gundam experience.

It's rare for a Gundam series to have a second season, but Gundam00 does so and pulls it off with even more intensive action and more cool Gundams than even the first season had, new characters and more enemies add to the depth of the show, it is definitely worth getting especially if you've seen the first season.

Pro- I love this series and I'm stoked to finally have it.Con- One of the discs from the box set doesn't work. It was bought brand new. I'm pissed.l considering the price of the box set.

For a Gundam fan, this was a definite must for their collection - at least that is what I was told among a lot of thank you's.

Great product and quick delivery...

The show itself is good, but TONS of bootlegs are out there. They have the same cover case as the original with same number of DVDs . It's pretty much copy of Bandai's release, and it looks exactly the same. My 1st shipment was damaged, so I got a free 2nd shipment. BOTH copies of Gundam 00 2nd season were bootlegs.Only way to distinguish original from bootlegs are to look in the files of the DVD with a PC program like IfoEdit. Real ones will have Region 1 only while bootlegs will have Region 0 (all Regions). All DVDs should be on DVD9 (DVD file should be over 4.7GB) while bootlegs will be on DVD5 (under 4.7GB). Finally, Bandai stopped producing new releases on Feb. 2012 with their last shipment to retailers being Nov. 30 2012. So if you look in the DVD (check each DVD) and see any files later than Nov 30, 2012, it's a bootleg.If you find any of the above, contact the seller and immediately get a refund. I hope that helps people from getting ripped off.

Gundam OO wraps up in the second season with even more desperate action that season one. The writers show the terrible things that people are capable of perpetrating against one another in the name of peace (see order or control). I like the idea of humans evolving to become more connected, and this series pulls in numerous technologies that are on the verge of existing today. Look up Orbital Elevators for an interesting surprise. All in all, a great watch.

Très belle histoire et animé pleine d'aventures et d'actions !A recommander.

tout est parfait à l'exception de la boite qui était cassé a l'intérieur , du coup toujours un peu compliqué de la fermé.
