About that Wang line.. I think there is more to it than the pilots are only human.
I don't think Wang realizes the reason why Veda chose this time frame for the operations. From what I have seen so far Earth is at a tipping point... they finally have the Solar Elevators built and Solar technology is starting to take off and advance rapidly. CB's technological edge against the Earth was going to start shrinking the longer they waited.. it was only a matter of time until the Solar Furnace would be discovered(I would say within 20 years tops) and the Solar Furnace is CB's biggest edge against the Earth. I think it forced Veda's hand.. it was now or never. Now the reason for the pilots being weak(besides the RL reason that it makes for a more interesting show) part of it hinges on what Setsuna and Felt said.. Setsuna "Because I am alive!!" and Felts "My parents were Gundam Meisters and they died" I think CB has a hard time finding good pilots that would survive combat. I think Veda studied the CB Meister training and choose on several important factors: Survivability, Motivation, Loyalty, Potential and how the pilots skills mesh with the Gundam types(Its cheaper and better to match the pilots skills to the Gundam specialties) Veda didn't choose the most skilled pilots.. he choose the ones who could survive the crush of combat and learn from it to get stronger. In the long run the Meister's will be become very strong and skilled pilots due to those factors Veda used. |

Honestly though the entirety of my argument can be summed up in 3 words that might make you stay away from the deep-end, and those words are: WAIT AND SEE

Interestingly enough, Setsuna is doing better than Heero is come to think of it...
In the beginning, Heero already started by getting his ass kicked by a Leo despite his gundam because Zechs was simply that much better. Furthermore, he killed a shuttle of peace delegates thinking they were OZ officials, and shortly after SD'd his gundam. Heero really did not have a spectacular record despite his gundam. Setsuna so far has been winning, although obviously because his gundam is just flat out a much better machine than any others by decades.

As for Turn A, as far as I know, its the only Gundam the regerates itself, flip a Wadom whose about twice its size like it was noting, take multiply hits, some times without blocking via shield or hand and the only effect was not a damaged Gundam but some what shacken Loran, has a powerout put of 27000KW compared to the RX-78's 1380 kW or F91's 4250 kW or even to the last UC Gundam Victory 2's 7510 kW, it can make itself invisable, use moonlight butterfly, (Loran didn't use it at the start but those systems were there from start to finish) so yeah it not over powered.

So because he SOMEHOW survived (Which really hasn't been explored much) he has good survival extincts and that SOMEHOW translates to the question of why he's a $hitty pilot in your mind? As I keep asking, are you making this $hit up? You yourself just said you don't know why his awesome "kid with an AK on his back being used by a conman" skills doesn't make him more smarter about not opening his cockpit in his fight with Ali...Don't you get it? It's because that experience as a kid had NO BEARING on what he wound up doing later on (Training wise that is)....Uh Oh there goes your whole "because he fought as a kid he should be a military professional like Heero" bullcrap... As for the rest I'm too tired and gotta wake up for work soon, but I shall return to give you more...Perhaps by the time I return someone will have already poked more holes in the rest of your overly irrational, overly-literal arguments...

I expected this show to take a hefty ratings hit (1%) when the 4th season of Major starts but I didn't expect reruns of the 3rd Major season to beat it.
(11th) *4.6% (*4.1%) 12/08 (Sat) *6:00pm-*6:25pm NHK-ETV Major (Rerun) (15th) *4.0% (*4.5%) 12/08 (Sat) *6:00pm-*6:30pm TBS Kidou Senshi Gundam 00 [Mobile Suit Gundam 00] (Kansai Region - 5.7%) |

The way I see it, popular kids shows always score high in the ratings when it comes to anime. Pocket Monsters has been using the same plot formula for ages and is still in the top ten ratings. It's not something I'm worried about in the slightest. What's the bracketed number by the way? Not the Kansai one, the one beside the first percentage. |

It's amazing how popular Major is. I mean it's great for what it is, but NATIONALLY gripping in that way? Rerun getting top billing and edging close to Detective Conan? That's pretty crazy.
Also, I hear Moyashimon is way up there too, which I never expected since I would think a GUNDAM show would have more national exposure and hype. I just guess people really don't watch anime as much as people think they do. |

Moyashimon does air in the Noitamina block, I'll quote Andrew C on what the Noitamina block is about.

I'm not to sure but I think it might be the highest rated Noitamina show (I can't remember Mononoke getting high 4s except maybe the last episode). I asked that question in the Anime Ratings thread which I guess is where we should continue this discussion since this is about Gundam 00 Episode 10 after all. |

That's great news, since not too many great shows gets the viewership they so deserve (I think Minami-ke's top rating was around 1 million viewers at its peak. Compare that to Precure 5 usually hovering at or above 4 million, easily).
Nice to hear Hataraki Man was in the mix since it was such an underappreciated show otherwise. I just wish more shows get the proper attention so the obscure, but great shows can get more talks of sequels. |

Yeah, 4.5 is for last week. 4.0 is for Ep 10. Its the lowest rating for this show so far...
This was true for GSD too, but for some reason, action-packed episodes always seem to get a corresponding slump in ratings... People get bored by the robots and want to watch a baseball anime instead?

Or, you know.... Buzzer Beater. I heard Buzzer Beater once got around 4.5 million. Pretty crazy since most western viewers seems to hate Buzzer Beater.
Also, I don't think viewership rises steadily really. It just bobs up and down little by little. The best example is something like Pretty Cure which always hovers around the 4 million mark and seems to almost randomly curve up and down. Usually hovering back up by finale and in the middle. Seems the same for Gundam shows. |

Everything we do affects in our past affects who and what we are today, thats the basics of physciology, apply it to some one who has been shot at numberous times (Setsuna) and his instinctis in battle would be to doge not the satnd still, do you stand there and talk to a person who is trying to kill you? He also manged to get grabed by the head, hit by a damn MA thats on a ship (it never seemed to have occured to him that the ship might have something in it?), on the losing side of the duel against Ali, and get suprised by a flag. Yes Amuro suffered the same but I don't remmeber Setsuna's oppoenet ever sinking six battleships in one sortie either. Quote:
Maybe it has something to do with the season, I know Japan also celebrate Christmas as a kind of couples holiday so people might be doing other things besides watching the show. That and new years celebration, cleaning, sales etc are coming up so people are probably busy. There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so, I wounder if Kira from Death note would be considered a Villain had he won at the end.
