NEW Gundam Series!!! Gundam 00

okaay, so i found out about this like 2~3 months later than most Gundam fans, but hey, Gundam series don't make it to headline news kae...they should have this anime newspaper which we can subscribe to...anyway, that's beside the point.

the point is that, well, the new Gundam series looks promising, the storyline is not disappointing and as usual, they tackle 'real' human problems. smt about the depletion of resources. the only complain i have is that there are no Athrun look-alikes....since the character design is done by someone else...it looks rather...i dunno, it felt like Bleach to me...but the character design is done by the mangaka of Loveless. *Wolfram, are u reading this?* so maybe, just maybe there might be BL pairings? i dunno, Gundam SEED had *suggested* BL pairings so...hmm...

the art definitely has a more adult feel to it, and the Gundams seem to have improved...luckily, there's no sign of Turn-A-Gundam art in this one, so phew. seems like there'll be less fangirl action in this new one with the more serious tone of the show and less eye candy in it...compared to Gundam SEED/Destiny, that is...

the series is premiering in Oct 07, so the wait's not too long...though it'll take an eternity to get to Singapore...at least it's after my exams, so yeah man, the quest will be on. =) apparently, there was word of some Gundam SEED movie coming out in Dec 07, but well, since they put a stop to the 2nd sequel of Gundam SEED (Gundam SEED Eternity, or smt like tat), there's a danger they might kill the movie off too...though they'd better not...reason's tt the 'old' generation didn't like Gundam SEED. *bang* us fangirls like it, so shoo. hmph. 'twill be nice to see a satisfying ending for Athrun and Cagalli, they didn't end that pairing properly...boos...

oh well, i'll put a link to the trailer for Gundam 00, if anyone is interested at all.
