That's kinda similar to Minovsky particles, as I recall the Minovsky particle required lot of Helium-3 from Jupiter to make it. So if it requires something from Jupiter or environment like Jupiter, is there really point of Gundam getting captured? As it would impossible for the three power to even make them.

[Samanosuke]

Now the question is , what could be a guy's real motive , that would make it so it wouldn't benefit him as the plan would have to be executed 200 years later.

Ugh...I hate the trinity siblings already. Well Johann seems normal enough, but I have a bad feeling about him and Nena and Michael are just plain obnoxious. For once I agree with Tieria about something. lol.

The meeting of the Haros was hilarious, especially how "Older Brother" Haro totally rejected Lockon's Haro. What a rude little Haro...reflects his current masters' attitudes I suppose.

Damn, Eifman died before he was able to tell anyone about what he found out

[Nu Gundam]

Spoiler for Taking Bets on this being Graham!:

]Amazing Episode, I loved how the GN Cannon hookup works!


The Throne mothership's "arms" seem to extend and retract when they are moving.

Anyway Leena's kiss to Setsuna seems more of a submission act than an act of admiration/love/infatuation/whatever. It's like saying "you're inferior to me so I can do whatever I like to you".

Nena: submit to me
Setsuna: Access Denied!

Yes! if that happened, I'd lol for dayz. Just imagine the looks on the rest of the crew and the trinity bros' faces. Priceless.

AS for punching, I guess it was just reflective instinct. A friend once hit me on the face when i scared the $hit out of him, it was just reaction he didn't think about it.Emotional shock when you receive a kiss like that makes your mind go numb.

10/10 just because of that 1 scene

Make his mind go numb? Wow. I'd imagine if that was the case, Setsuna would pass out.

Are you serious? He actually said that?! ROFL!

XD That's so true.

This episode gets at least an 8/10 from me. I have to wait till subs to bump it up to a 10, but it looks like a 10 from here.

Now I'm curious as to how they knew the old man knew what he knew. I suppose we can say another job well done for CB intellegence, but I wanna know how

[Katsumara]

For some reason, my connection won't let me through to http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2008.../gundam-00-17/ D: and I'm not sure why. I don't think I've been b& or anything like that. o.o

Anyway, looks like a great episode.

Spoiler:

What happens to Louise and where's Saji? D:

Louis went to Spain, I think it was her cousin's marriage.

Ahh.

Spoiler:

Well she looked bandaged and it had me curious, lol. D: I guess that room was a bit too fancy to be where she was staying over in Japan or something. That room also reminds me of the room from the ending. o.o

Appreciate it though.

I don't know why, but I'm starting to get annoyed with all these very short battles. Even ep.15, they jumped around far too many times from pilot to other people, etc.

GS & GSD were a lot more enjoyable, despite some reuses in animation. And a lot more dialogues from the MS cockpits.

Some reused animation? Almost EVERY battle in GSD was made from reused animation, and they weren't half as enjoyable as the short fights of 00.

And in regards to the pilot dialogue, that was even worse in GSD. Why do people in CE go around preaching their views and other philosophical bullshit in battle? It makes no sense.

[Kaioshin Sama]

When I saw the raving over a scene (and character) with the comment "10/10 for this scene alone" in this thread I thought I stepped into the wrong forum for a second.

I don't know if I'll be able to give a 10/10 for one scene alone, but we'll see if I don't enjoy this episode as a whole enough to warrant it.

1. No

2. You are refering to only a handful of episodes. Most of the other episodes aren't like that.

[Ori]

Setsuna is such a nice asexual teenage boy. Saying "DON'T TOUCH ME!" after his first [stolen] kiss (poor guy) is so awsome.

Good thing Marina was not there, she would probably have gotten even more emo after seeing a scene like that. Either that or that would be some slapping around.

Ah... Gundam 00 is so very entertaining. =)

I don't ever remember a single enjoyable fight in GSD, primarily because it was all mostly reused animation. The same sequences over and over again. The fights in 00 are much more exciting to watch, even if they are shorter. Longer fights doesn't always mean better fights.

Maybe they found some sort of alien technology there... ???

Though this makes me wonder, what kind of facility CB has there. After all it could be, that they have some really large inhabited colonies there.

Spoiler for aa:

The guys started CB had some discovery team to Jupiter 120 years ago, I think it's a rare technology/material on Jupiter. His purpose for leading the discovery team is to construct gundam. So if the professor(who figured out) didnt die, we might see AEU making gundams lol

Spoiler for d:

you are right, and the professor also found out CB's real goal isn't stop war. Setsuna and others doesn't know about that, but i think the throne crew does.

Spoiler for a:

Same here I hate trinity already, Eifman and Howard died. Billy probably critically injured...

And just like I thought Tieria is really the least likely to separate from CB lol

[Deathkillz]

The thrones are giving CB a bad name

Best part for me has to be the haro scene.

"nii san nii san!"

"who the heck are you...die!"

Coldblooded, just like the master

Well, shorter fights usually mean they're too one-sided, which is the case here.If you like that, then more power to you.

And Gundam 00 seems to cut out almost all grunt interactions as well.

I heart grunts.

[SoldierOfDarkness]

That's because NONE of the 3 powers are at war with each other.

I wonder though if Neena did something to Veda...

[TypeR]

probably obtained some information from Veda?

Anyone thinks that Veda has a secret plan within itself?
