102. And the secret here is? (Other then thing about Bjork, because that was just huh).

138. I personally prefer Wing, but I find most comments about either of the shows' objective quality to be pretty spurious in that neither of them are all that great, both of them plotwise are pretty much in the mediocre pile. I go basically by I like Wing's cast better, and find it more entertaining then 00 which I am mostly just bored with. All Gundam series are recyclings of the original anyway, so arguments how the new series are more unique and whatever seem really silly to me.

Gundam 00 like most of its AU predecessors isn't breaking any new ground.

You may as well enjoy both, I would say just watch it to watch it and don't bother comparing.

145. Oh god, mushed pairings names are so annoying, they all sound like either alien species or prescription drugs, and sometimes even like sound effects. I can maybe understand their use on places like FFN or places where you have a limit of how much information you could put, but on LJ they are really offputting.

Edited 2009-03-03 22:43 (UTC)

I completely agree. While 00 implemented certain elements better than Wing, overall nothing's particularly fresh. Most of the characters I liked in 00 are now dead or no longer focused on, so I become restless even through the thirty minutes it takes to watch an episode. Wing wasn't one of the best, but it remains my favorite because the characters do maintain a little depth.

And by the same token, I think Wing did some things a bit better then 00, but that is just kind of a trade off, and I imagine which one you like better comes down to what elements are the ones that you care most about and which ones you can live with being a bit sub par.

I think the characters are the biggest problem for me with 00, as I could deal with the plot things if I cared about the characters more, but for whatever reason the majority of 00's cast just don't ping with me.

Yes, that's it.

The characters and the pacing are my biggest problems; it either seems as if they're rushing or taking too long for things to happen. By the time plot finally hits, it's hard to care. I also lost most of the characters I did originally care about (with them being killed off/shifted away from), so the ones remaining do nothing for me.

G Gundam is the same as 0079? Holy shit.

Ummm, no. That is not what I said. G Gundam is first of all a parody, and secondly, the Gundam franchise is a repetition of tropes and themes that get redone and done. My point, is that while they may execute these things differently, all Gundam series pay homage to the original in some way shape and form, and thus are more often then not, not really original.
