>>14143152>Most are probably parroting shitposts from when the show came out. Gundam 00 wasn't perfect, but it was an overall fun show with bigger ideas than it could manage sometimes.To be honest I like Gundam 00, seasons 1 and 2. But I thought the film was just not necessary. The series should have ended right after season 2 and leave the rest to the imagination of the viewer.
On the grand scheme of things I think Gundam 00 was one of the most ambitious Gundams series ever attempted. It wasn't silly, it had an intelligent story, a well thought out worldbuilding, the characters were varied and some of the action sequences were absolutely superb. I still cannot get out of mind the assault on the first orbital laser.
Gundam 00 shows that we don't need to be forever shackled to the UC and Zeon wankfestery. The downside is that you need a planetary alignment to get Sunrise to write another good Gundam series. Doing a UC series in the form of ovas, ovas transformed into tv series is quick and dirty but it will never achieve the epicness of stories that are just good from the start.
