I just finished watching the second episode and I am already hooked. The gundam designs are really cool this time, and the premise of the whole series is great. Is anyone else watching this?

I'm hoping that this gets brought over to the US soon I've never watched any yet...but I'm a sucker for anything Gundam, and most mecha.

It should not take long, seed and seed D came very quickly, all thanks to Wing. There are some great fansubs for this right now too though.

Yeah Conclave-Mendoi did a great job with it, especially seen as you won't have to put up with all the delays so they could do silly things like typeset Saji's text messages. Avoid Nyoro~n like the plague though, his subs pretty much seem to exist solely for people who understand Japanese to laugh at.
The first season was pretty good, all things considered. There were a few lolwhat moments, but it was a massive improvement over Destiny and a pretty enjoyable series overall, enough for me to look forward to the second season. I think as far as Sunrise shows go I prefer Geass, but a Gundam is fine too.

I enjoyed it, despite disliking it at first. For some reason after 8 or so eps, I just couldn't connect and I stopped watching.
I happened to read a post summary of ep 13 or 14 and it had gotten a lot of great things written about it, so I decided to watch the remaining gap up to that point. Suffice to say, by that point I was finally connecting with the series enough to enjoy it and watched up until the conclusion.
I'm looking forward to the second season.

I didn't know they were doing a second season. I am glad they are expanding on there series alot more now. I am a little overwhelmed with the amount of OVA for Gundam in general.

Due out in the fall; believe the second season is supposed to pick up about five years after the first.
If I read correctly, there is a 00F mini-series that will play over the course of the summer to give detail on the events that will transpire between the two seasons.

Yes ..I 'm waiting for the 2nd season this autumn and waiting to be notified who's dead and who's alive.. I'm not really sure.For example ..some say Graham has died.BUt some say he reappears as a masked-man(classical image in Gundam..Almost each gundam has one..).And if Tieria is dead?is That Tieria-look-like man ?....Is Setsuna dead? What will happen to CB?...To many questions have been lain in the Episode 25..

I watched it and will eventually Finish, Currently watching Code Geass R2 and 0078. There hasn't been any good Gundam shows since this cause I wasn't impressed with seed personally.

I have yet to watch Seed in its entirety, but from what I have seen I wasn't impressed.

Yes...Seed is just a commercially-brilliant one. But from the angle of viewing an Anime..It's just so-so,I guess.

Well some parts of Seed were okay, but all the characters were kinda lame . All they did was fight a huge battle, and then cry the rest of the episodes plus flashbacks. Seriously could have been a lot better, same goes for VGundam. Not only that but nobody explained why little children were riding the MS's except for Kira cause that was an accident. What made 00 and wing cool was the pilots were born to fight (badasses) and never really cry a lot. Now the good parts of Seed were the mobile suits , yeah so many cool mobiles suits and Gundams(too bad their ridden by wusses). I'm thinking of making a Gundam model thread cause I collected models a long time ago and was wondering if anyone else was interested, heres freedom gundam(wish I had Strike Freedom or Sazabi )

Nice one there dude! If I had a better cam, I'd post Pics of my BEST Gundam Models, but here's what I've got SD StarGazer Gundam HGM 1/550 RX-78GP03 Dendrobium Quick Model 1/144 Buster Gundam FG 1/144 Forbidden Gundam HG 1/144 Kampfer HG Fighting Action 1/144 Wing Zero Custom HGUC 1/144 RX-93 Nu Gundam HG 1/100 Gundam Double X HG 1/100 Tallgeese III HG 1/100 Gundam Sandrock Custom HG 1/100 Destiny Gundam HG 1/100 Strike Freedom Gundam HG 1/100 Gundam Kyrios MG 1/100 Wing Zero Custom MG 1/100 Char's Zaku II ver. 2.0 Personally, I really enjoyed Seed, so long as you don't judge it by comparing it to the UC series, with one sadistic thought: If I didn't know better, I'd think Yoshiyuki Tomino directed the second-final episode of Seed. Because with eight character deaths, thats a death count that surpasses Zeta Gundam and ties with Victory Gundam (another bloody series, and boy is it DARK!). After seeing how season 1 of 00 progressed through, with a US release coming soon, lets hope that season 2 still holds it up well when it hits this fall.

Is it just me, or does anyone else here feel like they just don't have enough time to do everything they want. We should make a club, about all the things we should be doing. I have so much to do I'm never really bored at all. I have a lot of games to beat, models to paint, money to make, music to listen, and animes to watch. Too much to do, sadly I'm not watching 00 right now, but I am watching ZGundam and so far the show is great, well except the dubbing is kinda lame and Camille is a winy bitch, after watching Seed I find it a rip on Zeta.

I am on the 9th episode of Seed, and so far its ok..... 00 is doing the same thing, as its very similar to Wing in so many ways.
I think as for making a club, we already kinda started one with the Gundams, and I will be making one a month (I am in the process of one now). I just have so many damn games to play, and my backlog is disgustingly huge (Ill post in that topic one day I swear it). It would be nice if there were more Model fans here, but its to be expected. I think there are about 4 of us here who build them, and 2 of us that are active currently with the hobby.

Well they could at least send some picks of their works, if not at least its us, and don't feel bad about it, there is only me and one other person on the forums who likes warhammer and I'm not bothered by it at all, its our choices that counts. I've noticed that there is two different type of Gundam shows, though it doesn't look like it, its the feeling about the show, like one the show is about law of Gundam(Wing, 00) or the birth of the gundam(Seed,universal)...maybe I haven't explained that well but I think I've made a good observation. I'm not currently building a gundam but I will with my next paycheck and I have a crap load of old models to makes pics of, I'm just too lazy to take pictures !
