yeah, they'd have the first generation one used in the O gundam and then the 4 second generation ones for the GNY series (you can actually look at the backs of the GNYs and see that they all have the same 3 pronged thruster design, just like the 4 third generation engines the GNs use in the show proper have matching designs)

well, if there really are 10, that leaves 1 (2 kinda) unaccounted for. >_>

Makes sense. I guess I'm just hung up on the line "There are ten second-generation Gundam units planned, but there are only five GN Drive units."

IMO that line implies that there are ways to power the planned Gundams, other than using the GN Drives.

Though I guess a Gundam isn't a Gundam without a GN Drive.

LoweGear, where is your info coming from?

Exactly. Gundam 00P occurs 15 years before the events of 00, in which case that line was uttered when the 3rd Gen Gundams didn't even exist. By the time 00 and 00F roll around, it's apparent that the line in question is obsolete due to the presence of the 3rd Gen CB Gundams alongside Fereshte's 2nd Gen ones, which would make for 8 GN Drives overall.

Although I admit, I think I remembered that line in the wrong manner as well, which I intepreted as CB and Fereshte having 10 GN Drives in total.

I've only skimmed through the first chapter of Gundam 00F though, so perhaps I missed something there.

Are you sure?

Notice that Sadalsuud and Plutone have round plateaus on their back, with three spikes sticking out, just like the Astraea, and we know the latter has a GN Drive.

Spoiler for Gundam Astraea:

And Sadalsuud's green orb is also visible, just heavily covered. I've marked the following image with the items in question.

Spoiler for Sadalsuud:

wats with tiera's red eyes in ep 11?

[JediNight]

We don't know exactly yet. It seems to be related to interfacing with Veda however.

[mikeabundo]

Now a Gundam pilot is forced to kill thousands of innocent children. Is 00 darker than Z yet?

[Demongod86]

No not really because we didn't see the little children blow up--just a big building.

Subs are very late... where are they!?

[Terra]

Give them chance. It is a talky ep this week, unlike last weeks which was a lot more action. More talk slows things down as there's more to translate.

No way...I've said this a million times, here's a million an one...Presentation is the factor to consider...Zeta is presented far colder in almost every element, while 00 ebbs and flows with super-intense to super-light and playful at times...Zeta only rarely had moments of laid-back glee (Usually just Fah and the kids to provide whatever comic-relief)...I have to admit though Hallah torturing that soldier last ep goes right into the hierarchy of most violent death scenes in Gundam IMO...But overall not close to being darker than Zeta...

Wow still no ep out ...I swear if there was one chick in a schoolgirl outfit they'd be 10 groups speed-subbing this thing :/...Well the raw seemed to start a little slow then just progressed and looked damn good to me...Again something has to be said for the animation at times in the series...I mean really crisp, the HD HQ, especially the scenes with Kyrios near the end...Dark elegance was definatley on display...Can't wait to see the sub and figure out what the hell was going on with Hallah and Allah...Kinda reminds me of Nikki-Jessica from the TV show "Heroes"...Anyways this ep atleast looked really awesome to me, lets hope the dialog is as engaging as the animation...

BTW some damn good avatar material for Kyrios fans like myself this week^^...

[JediNight]

I'm interested to see where they are going with Saji and Louise. Obviously something has to happen to make Saji feel a closer connection to Louise. His last name being "Crossroad" makes me think it has to do with his character questioning and talking about how the planet/society is at a new "crossroads" with CB forcing social and economic change.

That's too bad i'nt (And it's kind of sad because deep down I know it's damn well true)......maybe if Louise were to get dressed up, just maybe..........

Lucky for me I have other sources........

I have to agree on the animation as well. So rare is it I see another person chime in on the animation quality in a series this season that isn't Clannad. I guess after Gundam Seed Destiny and it's seemingly constant stream of uninspired and recycled footage that people are still getting used to the way Gundam 00 is handling things. Very fluid, consistant and creative is how I'd describe this series' animation.

Exams maybe? If they are in university.

[Katsumara]

I watched the RAW and did enjoy it. Also, the pictures of the Exia Avalanche was pretty cool

There's this thing called RL, you know.

[JediNight]

About the Exia Avalanche:

Why is it in Gundam, more powerful = slap more stupid crap onto the frame?

[Demongod86]

Because in space, weight has next to no meaning while on Earth I highly doubt they'd use that as it'd probably be too slow to do anything.

[JediNight]

Everything still has mass, so you would still be unable to dodge as easily.

[sANDEKERU]

explosions in space are indeed purple D:

Nah, i actually think that Gundam being such a familiar title would have a larger fanbase than any other show this season. There were relatively fast releases during the early eps but the uproar about translation errors made everybody shy in releasing too fast.
