Gundam 00 S2 Episode 1

Let's have a summary of what had happened by the end of the final episode of season 1:

- Neil Dylandy aka Lockon Statos KIA. Along with several members of Celestial Beings.
- Celestial Beings - destroyed.
- The 3 World factions, Union, HRL, AEU bands together for world peace after defeating Celestial Beings.
- Louise lost her whole family (each and every uncle aunts, etc.) and a hand. Broke up with Saji as a result
- Setsuna KIA?.
- Allelujah captured.
- Ribbons the one who was pulling all the strings.


I think that was pretty much it.

"Nothing has change. This is not the world we wanted. Not Lockon... Not Me. Nothing has changed at all!"

Just saw Episode 1 tonight. It rocked! Animation is as usual, top notch.

Here's some key moments:

Ahead
The Federations' A-Laws were formed to fight any rebel factions. New MS Ahead kicks all old MS' butts. A-Laws are brutal. Probably rulling the world with an iron fist?

Saji
Saji Crossroad's arrested just because of his colleague being involved with the rebel faction, Kataron.

Kataron tries to recue their members at Proud, an industrial colony where rebels and suspects were kept captive and forced to work. Alaws intercepted and sent in robots to kill all prisoners.

Tierra
Celestial Beings reappears! Began their armed intervention at Proud.

Setsuna and Saji
Setsuna F. Seiei is alive. Has been infiltrating the A-Laws by himself. While infiltrating, rescued Saji at the Proud colony.

Exia
Gundam Exia! minus an eye, and an arm....

tripping balls yo
Louise joined the A-Laws and is apparently on some kind of drugs. Freaks out at the sight of Exia.

Photobucket
Setsuna/Exia is no match for the brand new Aheads...

Gundam Seravee
Rescued by Tierra's Gundam Seravee in the nick of time.

you can call me mom
Soma has been living with Sergei. Sergei's son, Andrei have joined the ALaws and is ordered to pick up Soma to join.

Al
Allelujah Haptism....


And the episode ends with:
Lockon?!
Lyle, Neil's twin brother... recruited by Setsuna. Setsuna blackmails him (Lyle's a member of Kataron) to join Celestial Being as the new Lockon Stratos.

1st episode starts off strong. Opening song sung by Uverworld is nice. Gonna watch episode 2 now.

New Song/Music of the Moment: Butter-Fly by Kouji Wada

Have you seen a butter fly?

Lame jokes aside, yeap... it's the opening song to the anime Digimon Adventures. I'm sure you have heard of it.

Great song and lyrics for an opening song of a kiddy show.

"After an endless dream, in this miserable world
That's right, maybe not using common sense isn't so bad after all
Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay
I'm sure we can fly, on my love!"

Casshern Sins Episode 4

I wonder how many people lost the bet...

Sophita

After the flashback and opening, scene starts with the introduction of Sophita also known as the Angel of Ruin.

RUN!

Sophita is at some robot settlement. Picking fights with robots. Robots runs from Sophita like headless chickens.

braiking's bodyguard?

BBER and his goons arrived to stop Sophita. We learned that this BBER is one of Braiking Boss' personal guards.

Sophita says he won't be a match for her as one of his arm is ruined. BBER leaves with his goons.

Casshern wanders around wondering who is he and why the world have turned like this because of him. Sophita shows up. Sophita impress with how Casshern looks... pretty and strong. Casshern asks her to buzz off. Sophita follows anyway.

nuh uhh

Sophita says she must fight him no matter what, since he looks strong. Casshern says he's not necessarily strong, just that he can't die. Oops, he shouldn't have said... that.

I CAME!

See?

Some robots arrived as Casshern is trespassing. Sophita asks Casshern to run as she holds them off. Casshern and Sophita made short work of the robots. Sophita is impressed. Casshern leaves, ignoring Sophita.

Sophita stalks Casshern.

stalker

Sophita tells Casshern the reason why she loves fighting so much.

hot

Whenever she fights, she gets excited... it makes her feel alive. Casshern tells her to leave him alone. He doesn't want to fight. He doesn't even like fighting. If he can, he rather die. Casshern leaves. Sophita follows.

Sophita intercepted by BBER and his goons. Goons were no match and BBER and Sophita fights.

dun dunn dunnnn

fight

Sophita was not able to cut up BBER as easily as the others as his body armour is tougher.

saved

Sophita was about to get cut up but was saved by Casshern in the nick of time. Knowing himself is no match for Casshern, BBER leaves.

feelings... nothing but feelings

After seeing Casshern's self healing ability, Sophita wants to fight even more. Sophita attacks Casshern in his sleep. "I will fulfill your wish!". They fight. Sophita declares that she loves Casshern, and fighting is the only way she can share her feelings.

fight fight

Casshern beats down Sophita a few times but Sophita refuses to stop. Casshern lets her stab himself.

ow

Tears start flowing down from Sophita eyes. Sophita wonders why. Casshern says he's glad... he's glad he didn't go berserk and kill Sophita as her intention of killing him isn't really there. Oh that's why she's crying. Remember kids, trying to kill your lover is not a healthy way of expressing your love.

Sophita asks for Casshern's name. She never asks her opponents name as she would beat them anyway. Sophita says she no longer wants to fight him. "Don't be sad that you can't die,..."

stay alive

Moooeee!!!... What a classic line. Don't you agree?

Sophita leaves. Leaving Casshern babbles to himself. Episode 4 ends.


Fighting filled episode all thanks to Sophita. Oh, yeah... no one dies at all in this episode. Unless you count some goons. But then again, some of them were only got cut at the limbs and the worst, the waist, into half. Sophita claims she fights without aiming to kill, but the robots are still afraid.

So maybe they would only "die" when their head is destroyed? Seeing as the surviving goons would drag the robots who got cut down and runs. Or maybe they just drag them back for spare parts.

Beginning to wonder whether is there a plot to this series. As usual, animation is superb.

Oh, I think I have never credited the fansubbers before... Yeah, so, subs are done by Shinsen group. Only group who's subbing Casshern Sins. A bit of grammar error from time to time but nothing too bad.

Next episode? Claw Blade Girl returns.
