REVIEW: Gundam 00 DVD Season 2 Part 1

I wanted to mention, on the subject of the English dub, by the way, that I was quite unimpressed with it. None one of Ocean's better dubs, and it's a shame, because there were a lot of talented VAs involved. They seemed to have phoned in a lot of their performances.

Let's not turn this into a "team up on Charred Knight" thread. I may disagree with a lot of his opinions, because frankly, I think he reads way too much into some things, but it's not like he's the only one here with issues with this show, and he's more than willing to articulate why. Debate, don't snipe.

I want to reiterate that I enjoyed the show, but I'm not in any hurry to collect it on DVD. I'll wait and see how the movie turns out.

I mostly just don't agree with Charred Knight breaking Godwin's Law by contrasting Gundam 00's depiction of war with Hitler. Was it really necessary to invoke his name in a discussion of why you don't like Gundam 00?

No, you know what, I refuse and I'll tell you why. I've tried that and there are some people worth debating with and then there are just those who serve to frustrate you by (as you put it) "reading into things way to much". And you know if the debate never goes anywhere then I'm not going to waste my time doing anything other than warning people that their time might very well be wasted as well if they try to engage proven one note posters like Charred Knight .

Take Klac for example, have you ever seen him make anything other than the post he does above? It's like a checklist that's just always going to be the same drivel no matter what you say in reply or how you try to engage them. No punctuation, no capitals, no coherency, Set-Light, Seed comparison and lest we forget Chantal Strand's voice. The way I see it with Charred Knight he does in fact have the coherency down (which in the average anime forum these days is I suppose a virtue even though it should be a prerequisite), but it's always just going to be Mizushima, Kuroda, Hitler, Japan is evil, Super Robots=Bad etc. If that's what you want then by all means take up the conversation, but I'm telling everyone right now that's pretty much all you are going to get in the long run.

Oh and Charred Knight and I have agreed on a few things in the past, but the propensity of the same old tired anti-geass/Gundam 00 bullshit he's shoveled at me and the whole xenophobic conspiracy theorist posts that seem to imply that he thinks Nazi's and the Empire of Japan (and whatever other Early 20th century fascist groups there were) are out to get him with propaganda through shows like Gundam and Code Geass just destroy any desire I have to tolerate him at this point.

hoi what sayin on me?!

look my gundam experiece is mostly on GS give like let say since 04 while 00 is just don't got same vibe as GS is many ways.

give i don' like idea of 2 halves of 25eps it was too mix.

gvie 2nd half have too many trust-truth issues besides yet the englsih really i so keep calling setsuna the set-light cause is so remind of LIGHT YAGAMI same vocies & bit similar.

& oh Chantal Strand really the way she sounded was ok give she been really very impressive since she did the Lacus really she got the voice to sound for a main lead female roles.

To be fair Chantral Strand has improved since Gundam Seed, I was really impressed with her work on Gundam Seed Destiny, I wouldn't call her one of the best VA's but she's become decent.

while I will admit to having massive problems with Code Geass but I will point out that my complaints of Gundam 00 is more along the lines of the fact that they had tremendous talent with Mizushima and Kuroda but the second season was a major let down. I for the most part liked the first season.
