So I started Gundam 00 a couple of days ago. I'm about 14 episodes in, I think. It's pretty damn awesome so far, and a whole lot darker than I was really expecting it to be. It handles the politics of its world brilliantly, and the characters are really well fleshed-out so far. So far, don't know too much about Lockon or Tieria, but I'm assuming they will be explored more later. Setsuna is definitely the silent-ish Heero type, but without being TOO much like Heero. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say Allelujah is awesome, and completely out of his f***ing mind. I love this show so far. Everything about it is just awesome. Is it hard to find? I am interested in it, myself.

Source of original pic: kenkoudaa.sakura.ne.jp/page132.htmlYou should check of the Flash parody of Seed and Seed Destiny, at the above link. And as for the religion-themed nicknames for the rest (if it's against the rules, I apologize): *Athrun = Judas Zala *Lacus = Virgin Mary Clyne *Cagalli = Cagalli Magdalene *Flay = Jezebel Allster

Nah, something like this isn't too religious.
I didn't actually mind Kira that much. I was more put off by how hypocritical Athrun was at first. I know his mom died, so he had a reason to not be rational, but it was sometimes laughable.
*Nicol takes Archangel hostage* Natarle: "Don't shoot, or we'll kill Lacus." Athrun: "Cowardly naturals! See who you fight for, Kira?!"
Uhh, dude, you literally just tried the exact same thing. Why is it not cowardly when you do it?

I haven't seen SEED Destiny, but from what I understand, that's where Kira turns into Jesus. He really wasn't bad in SEED at all. Great series, though I detest the art.

Never seen Destiny, but outside of bringing back Mu and some good mech designs, from what I hear, I'm probably not missing much.

I f***ing hate Tieria. But I'm a little further in. I think I'll come around to him once his backstory is explored a little more, but right now I can't STAND him.

I think I'll come around to him once his backstory is explored a little more, but right now I can't STAND him. The entire reason I like him is really, really stupid and minor spoilers. I don't know if I'll legitimately like him as the show goes on, but I do for now. I can't really think of someone I don't like, but like I said, I'm only about 3 episodes in and I'm positive that will change.

Thanks for the link, Johnny.
I have never seen a Gundam series without minor spoilers. I shall try to keep it that way. ;D

Alright, I finished Gundam Wing, will probably watch Endless Waltz before I start 00. That said, what an awesome last two episodes.
"Mission... Complete."
The way they had Relena and Heero revisit their earlier dynamic was pretty cute. I won't spoil it, but it just made me laugh aloud.

I actually put that distinction for Code Geass R2, sans the first 2/3 and last episodes. At least most os GSD seemed to build up for something greater (then the double flashback episodes, whammys and ressurrections ocurred). Code Geass R2 truly seemed like Russo booking, with constant turns and swerves. EDIT: And Rolo. WORST CHARACTER EVER~! (it almost seems as if his only purpose was to put yet ANOTHER pretty boy on the show. As if the show wasn't running on CLAMP's anorethic powers).

I like Gundam 00, if only for the fact that it has Yun Kōga character designs. I love her stuff.

Punk Shinn was the main character in Destiny, until Sunrise/Fukuda gave in to fan demand and thrusted Cena Kira to the spotlight. However, Triple H Athrun had the most screentime in GSD. Does this make Durandal Vince McMahon? Also: *Lacus = Kelly Kelly *Cagalli - Natalya
