Why do I suddenly think I'm watching a magical-guy anime instead of a mecha one? :(

Ok,my thoughts on the final episode are that they managed to wrap it up nicely despite the latest episodes which were pretty mediocre.
We had:
Spoiler :
Epic battles between the 3 Gundams (00,Cherudium,Arios - Hallelujah totally rocked!!) and the 3 Innovators
Return of Gundam Exia
Gundam 0 vs. Gundam Exia
Nice ending for all characters
Mannequin and Colasour married
Allelujah and Marie eloping
Gundam movie in 2010 - it'll be kinda like Endless Waltz of Gundam Wing imo...

I'm sure most people seen the final ep by now so no need for spoiler tags.

I thought the final ep was pretty good. Loved the action scenes from start to finish. I'm glad 00 Raiser wasn't invincible and holy crap... Reborns Gundam is loaded with everything, from mega particle cannons to fangs. The biggest highlight for me was Exia vs O Gundam. I never expected Exia to come back. In fact, this is the first Gundam series I've seen where the characters had to downgrade their mechs for the final battle. For a sec there, I thought Lyle was gonna die cuz screen faded white. It's nice to see a long epilogue. Kati and Patrick marriage was so fanservice. It looks like Allelujah and Marie are completely out of Celestial Being and living out their own lives. Marina leading Azadistarn again or whatever that country is called. I think she's better off working at daycare center instead. And why the heck are those kids still there? I wonder who are those innovator look alike people were scattered in a few epilogue scenes. All the good stuff aside, there were some things that irked me. First off is the insert songs. During the Exia vs O Gundam battle, they played the awful Marina song in the background which almost killed the final battle for me. I think it would've been better if it was instrumental. Then the Unlimited Sky insert, gosh I absolutely hate that song to death. 2nd is the Andrei's ending. I personally wished he died for being such a moron but seems like he's redeemed himself a little bit. 3rd is Graham's 1 sec appearance without any dialogs. I've expected him to show up somewhere in the final battle but guess not. Even so in his last appearance, he doesn't say a single word. I mean.. WTH!!?

Overall, Gundam 00 has been one hell of a ride. I think it's my 2nd fav Gundam series led by Gundam X and followed by Zeta Gundam. This is definitely on my DVD buy list. It's great to see there no recap ep in the 2nd season and very little stock footage used unlike... yes I'm staring at you, SEED Destiny. I do have a few major complaints on both seasons. In Season 1, I thought the pacing very slow on the first half of the series and then the story began to move at a breakneck pace when the Thrones showed up. In season 2, Mr. Bushido's existence is pointless. He doesn't do anything that moves the story or the characters. I was arguing with one of my friends about Bushido, he says without him, Setsuna's character wouldn't develop, however I think Setsuna's character was mostly impacted Lockon, Ali Al Saches, Saji and sometimes Marina. Graham would have been better off dead in season one if you ask me. And about Marina Ismail, she was useless 80% of the time. In the end, what's the whole point of her and the kids going to space? Other than that, there's also that movie to look forward to and looks like its gonna a sequel but nothing has been confirmed so far. Some people are speculating it's gonna be a 00 and Geass crossover because of Jupiter which I have no idea how that's gonna work.

Well anyways there's my 2 cents. I have no problem recommending this series to any Gundam/Mecha fans. It has its ups and down moments, but it's a series that's worth the watch.
