Gundam 00 ends, Geass 2 to start next week

And so Season1 of Gundam 00 ends yesterday, with Code Geass taking over next. Thoughts and stuffs to expect in Season 2.

-The aftermath:4 years later-

Just before the season ended, we are shown a glimpse on how everyone’s doing 4 years later.

The tradition goes on, and it’s Graham’s turn to put on the mask and take on the role of the ‘masked’ guy

Louise is all grown up looks more mature, is this Tieria with Lockon’s hairdo!? or a totally new character?

Yes, Neena survives Season 1’s cut and has apparently become Wang Liu Mei’s underling.

A new meister?

We are finally treated with a close-up shot of Gundam 0

Gundam 00 unveiled!!

Update: Official image of Gundam 00 here

Thoughts:
They’re definitely over-using the cliche of wearing mask, this time round with Graham in that role. I’m annoyed at the fact that he’s wearing a mask no apparent reason. They had better give a valid & reasonable explanation on why they do it. Even an excuse like, ‘Oh, because he got disfigured during the final battle with Exia 4 years ago’ isn’t acceptable at all. Sergei’s face is disfigured but do we see him sporting a mask on his face? No.

The Tieria with Lockon hairdo/ Tieria look-alike is full of mystery just like Tieria earlier on. Even with Season 1 ended, we’re still not told about Tieria’s background and origin. Except that he’s not human, able to make direct connection with Veda and that’s pretty all we know.

Neena has surprisingly survived the cut despite many saying she’ll kick the bucket, and she’s now working under Wang Liu Mei. And she seems to be continuing as a Meister.

Then there’s another meister that being shown but can’t tell or make much out of the appearance while in that spacesuit. Some speculated that’s Tieria/Tieria 2.0 but a girl instead!?!? I’m totally clueless on this one.

Lastly, Gundam 0 and Gundam 00 has been revealed to everyone. Not nitpicking or anything, but just voicing out what I think of it. Now The Gundam 0 really looks like RX-178, Gundam Mark 2 to me on the closeup despite what many has been saying for so long. Is it just me, or does Gundam 00 looked like Exia-ish? Can’t be GN-001/hs-A01 Gundam Avalanche Exia since it doesn’t have a double V-fin. But it does look more bad-ass than Exia.

Others stuff that I didn’t show;

• Saji now in space
• UN becoming Earth Federation
• Mass produced GN-X with lance
• Ribbons now in charge, with a harem of guys

By the way, does anyone know anything about the spacesuit that Neena and the another meister was wearing? I’m pretty curious about the glowing bluish-green lines on the suits.

So what are your thoughts about the ending of Season 1 Gundam 00 and speculation about Season 2 returning in October?

Now with Season 1 of Gundam 00 just over, let us ready ourselves for the the return of Code Geass coming next week!
