rachelmanija: (Gundam 00: I am Gundam!)
( Jul. 15th, 2009 01:33 pm)
For the benefit of people who haven’t even seen any of season one, the premise (to steal a bit from someone whose entry on the series I’ve misplaced) is that an organization called Celestial Being gives Gundams to four of the least sane people in existence, and sends them out to end war by waging war on countries which… wage war. This works about as well as one might expect.

Fast-paced and plotty, with a high quotient of crack and insanity, plus high production values, many compelling characters, lots of angst, space battles, psychic kids, and the craziest names since Leopard Solid and Eraldo Coil. (Hi, Bring Stabbity! Hi, Allelujah Haptism! Hi, Colonel Mannequin!)

I also wish to note for the record that the Celestial Being paramilitary operatives, male and female, now have military uniforms consisting of bolero jackets over pants and shirt, all colored to match their respective eyes and/or hair and/or Gundam.

Rilina said that 2x8 really brought the crack and suggested that we watch it on the phone together. OMG. That was the greatest thing since Oyce and I watched insane!Heero and insane!Zechs duel each other in their respective crazy-making Gundams.

I shall now recite a litany for your death! )
