Having survived yet another deadly encounter, the Immortal Colasour once again lives up to his name and wins the heart of his beloved Colonel Kati. Pardon for the missing episode 23 and 24 posts. Something unforeseen known as Life has taken a toll on me this past weeks and time seems to be running exceptionally fast these few days.

Today I will not talk about the storyline, better reviews can be easily found at other anime bloggers’ blogs. Instead lets talk about the man who cheated death as frequent as James Bond himself.

The first contact

Patrick’s simpleton personality is a huge contrast to the other characters in the series. Patrick doesn’t have a care in the world, is happy go lucky and acts on his own instincts, all in a comical way. In Gundam 00’s war torn era, majority of the cast go through emotional trauma like separation from love ones, seeking revenge, self uncertainties etc. Patrick’s optimistic persona is in a way estimable.

Patrick’s happy ending in the last episode, marrying Kati, also brought forward an interesting observation. First of all, not only does Kati hold a higher rank than Patrick, is his superior but also is 5 years older than him as well.

In real life and form an Asian’s perspective, most guys would prefer to go for girls in their age group and one that is of equivalent social status in terms of education and job position as them. This form of prejudice speaks true in most Asian societies. There is a Chinese saying “女子无才便是德” meaning a girl without talents is an asset. Guys often lack the courage to woo outstanding and capable girls because guys will view themselves as unworthy and distantiate from them. I believe career women also would not like a guy who is underachieving right? Not to mention tongue wagging from people around as well, discrimination on how a lowly guy dares to go for a girl above his league.

Our dear Patrick is here to prove us wrong. Not bothered by the obvious differences in age, position and authority, Patrick has always been openly expressing his love for Kati. Just when we thought he scarified heroically 2 episodes ago to save his Colonel, lives to win Kati’s hand in marriage. Dramatic and corny as it may be, all’s well ends well.

Many times, pressure from society’s standards often hinders us from pursuing true happiness. Is it about time we unlock these chains binding us from doing the things we really want to do and be who we really want to be?

P.S. Ribbons lost because of naked Tieria. I don’t blame him. Who can resist a naked Tieria? :3

Everyone seems to have caught the cough virus these days. Yours truly included. The cough syrup medicine from the doctor sure is strong and left me in a state of drowsiness when I was watching this episode of Gundam 00 last night. So do pardon me if I missed out any thing.

Graham lost (again). Blames Billy.

Creepy loli…

Please fasten your seat belt and wear your helmet at all times while in a mobile suit. Your safety is our concern.

Celestial Being’s best kept secret. The kidnapping of Amuro Ray.

“I want a uniform, just like Setsuna’s.”

Whose bright idea is this to bring the kids to space? What’s even weirder is they have children sized spacesuits?

Chair doesn’t look comfy at all.

If it were up to me, I’ll clone more Aya Kiguchi instead of that red head what-his-name?

Oh c’mon. We all know Graham has no guts to commit seppuku. He will probably end up fighting hand in hand with Setsuna next.

Wall-E

Cannons sold separately.

What do you mean I am the no.1 in the poll of which Gundam 00 characters fans want to see dead next?

GGG. Good Game Goodman.

Sometimes it’s bliss to be a simpleton like Patrick.

Now we know how Ribbons is always on top of things. He gets it from the evening news.

Some family tension going on here.

I just about had enough of your “Who’s your daddy?” bullshit! Eat lead!

The End. Or is it…

Ribbons can’t be dead. We still need someone to pilot the 0 Gundam to fight it out with 00 Gundam.

Revenge is sweet.

Flame haze.

You know how in movies the guy will show no sign of fear or pain when faced with the toughest of enemies but will whine when a female tend to his wounds.

That is certainly an odd place to place a wardrobe.

Seriously boy, Louise is not the type of girl for you. She’s too complicated.

Psycho bitch savors the enjoyment of hunting down the naughty children.

No blood at all. This is a family orientated show.

Will the real Tieria Erde please stand up? Please stand up?

Cool pose for a dynamic entry.

Inside this piece of paper is the location of Veda and the grocery list for next week.

Never ever trust Saji to take care of your belongings.

Since Mr Bushido is standing outside, why can’t Saji take over the gundam and knock him senseless?

As with all villains, a long monologue is inevitable before a fight. In this case something about love, hate and gundam seed destiny.

I won’t die so easily. The producers promised me at the hotel yesterday I would live and get my own spin-off.

Oh the contrary. Guess he’s just not that into you.

It’s huge.

One step closer to being a gundam.

It’s a love tragedy.

And now for the good cop bad cop routine.

Come any closer and I will blow the twin tails off this loli.

Including the recession, forest fires, poverty etc.

Ian got kicked and all Saji did was stand there and did nothing.

Probably Windows.

Sharing a kiss before sunset with flock of swans flying past.
Gosh how much more romantic can this get?

Star Trek comes to mind.

Love that lava lamp. Always wanted to get one of those but not with fishes.

Ribbons present Louise with a reject from Ripley’s vault.

Ribbons working his Ribbons’ mind tricks on Louise.

Nani Kore?

Hmm…

Oh ya a gentle reminder.

I always wonder how she fit her twin tails into the helmet and still retain the hairstyle after taking it off?

Amazing how Ian always manage to fix things in a short amount of time. Even in totally darkness.

It seems that physics laws do not apply in space.

At least Allelujah doesn’t shout, “Marie! Marie!” this time round.

Reminds me of Strike Freedom’s dragoon wings.

Tragedy stuck…

No idea why it must be purple.

Definitely more eye pleasing then the two emo boys.

Another one bite the (purple) dust.

Well Setsuna, the least you can do is say you are sorry.

Not to be confused with a certain romantic comedy with a huge assembled cast that is currently showing in cinema. Last week episode of Gundam 00 (which is pretty much a romantic comedy in its own rights albeit with mecha) shows how 3 female characters are just not into whoever or whatever they are affiliated with anymore.

Just when you thought hime turned prisoner turned nanny turned housewife turned aspiring singer Marina Ismail is going to be shot…

…turns out Han Solo shoots first.

Gentle reminder to all boyfriends. Always remember your girlfriend’s name. Besides that, seems like all Allelujah did this season is shout  “Marie! Marie!”. :-/

Professor X welcomes its newest member to the academy.

Madness is like gravity. All it needs is a little push (from accelerated GN particles).

Back by popular demands.

And so the fateful lovers finally met.

Having longed to see Louise for the past 18 episodes and the first thing Saji said to Louise was she’s selfish, attention seeking and clumsy? Way to go boy. No wonder she wants to shoot you.

Speaking of shooting, is this even possible since none of this is real? This is just a virtual realm, byproduct of the GN particles. So even if Louise is able to manifest a gun out of nowhere and shoots, how will it affect real life Saji?

It’s just like when you can’t get an annoying tune out of your head.

Excuse me? Just who the hell do you think you are?

Like we didn’t see that coming.

Revenge of the freckled psychotic bitch.

What do you mean it’s the end for me? I thought the producer promised me that I will last till the last episode and maybe even future seasons if I give in to him?

Oh well, just when you thought Nena was saner this season.

GG.

Long title is long. If anyone find the title to ring any bells, When a Man Loves a Woman is a 1994 romance movie starring Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan. It is also the title of a 1966 song by Percy Sledge. Coincidentally, last week’s episode of Gundam 00 also revolves about the same topic where we see the characters yearning for the person they care about, which may or may not be human at all…

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

The witch from Hansel and Gretel feeding the kids so that she could fatten and eat them.

Other than the weird time displayed on the clock, Marina’s song is mysteriously been played on the airwaves. If anyone wants it, the song can be downloaded at www.marinasings.com. If the page doesn’t load, it’s probably due to the heavy traffic. Try again later.

Now that Marie is back to being Soma Peries again. That means no more hanky-panky from now on Allelujah. The Lord is watching.

Why is Lockon’s helmet and Saji’s sleeves the only 2 things floating?

“Autobots transform and roll out!” Oops! Wrong show.

Wang Liu Mei is sad to hear that she can’t join the Innovators because black hair is not accepted.

Green haired loli (?) with attitude is love.

Now that I’m promoted to Lieutenant, as your superior I hereby order you to kiss me now.

Killing his own father and stealing other people’s girlfriend, Andrei is the real evil villain of the show damn it!

Frodo is emo but not as emo as you Saji. Get it over with the ring already. Yo.

That’s not cute at all.

Some people like listening to heartbeats. Whatever rocks your boat.

A woman always has a headache at the most appropriate time.

That’s one way to show an orgasm.

What’s with the glowing lights and shoulder pads anyway? Space fashion baffled me.

The smaller mask isn’t covering much anyway so why bother?

Big hand is big.

———————————————-

So what is on everybody’s mind as they head out to battle?

Louise.

Saito. Saji

Mother.

Colonel.

Loli. Marie.

Anew.

Veda.

Gundam! Ok nuff said.

Battlefield Earth is a sci-fi movie released in 2000 staring John Travolta. It was a major box office flop and widely considered by audiences and critics alike as the worst film ever made. It also won 7 razzies including Worst Actor, Worst Movie, and Worst Director. Fortunately all this has nothing to do with last week’s episode of Gundam 00 other than the fact that the title kinda suits the idea of last week’s story.

Setsuna is still traumatized by Marina’s song 2 episodes ago.

Who wouldn’t want to live in a house like this with such a view?

No idea how he is able to maintain his hairstyle inside the helmet.

Another one bit the dust. Oh well so much for revenge.

Beautifully animated sequence.

Black smoke instead of purple smoke.

GM GN Archer.

Target practice.

Bystanders who just stand there and do nothing but look.

Hime-sama, now isn’t the appropriate time to be smiling.

Under the current circumstance, I would expect them to at least have a sense of urgency.

So the weather forecast for today is cloudy throughout the day with lots of debris from outer space. Don’t forget your umbrella.

Consequences of The Gulf War.

Even a demi-god like Hercules can’t escape death by a cheapshot.

What do you mean I am going to be stabbed by my own son moments later?

The irony of it all…

Flashback before death.
Oh I like girls who can cook. It’s hard to find those who do these days.

The fansubs team forgot to translate this.

Good bye Papa Bear. We will miss you.

Btw the OP and ED are really growing on me. These are the current 2 songs in which I do not skip by fast forward it when watching the anime.

Last week was kinda a serious episode so I’ll try to cut down on the wisecracks.

Even during a coup, everyone behaves in an orderly manner.

Hold your chin when you are deep in thoughts.

Strangely young Sergei sounds the same as middle age Sergei even despite the age difference.

Military Discipline Rule No. 69: You salute even when you are on the phone with your superiors.

Homer is too poor to buy chairs for his office.

So Commander Blonde volunteers himself to take care of all that mess happening up in space in the hope of sitting in that chair in front of him one day.

R2-D2 doing what it does best. Hacking the system and downloading all your NSFW collection.

Why so serious?

Why indeed. Why can’t Patrick just die? Why?

I guess among all the innovators, she is my favourite so far.

Yes a phone call would have sufficed.

How come his salute is not the same as Sergei?

So the moral of this episode is as Hercules puts it, citizens shouldn’t blindly trust their government. Well said.

Anyway continuing where last week (cliffhanger?) left off, just when things are heating up during the fight between our beloved couple…

Unsurprisingly and somehow predictable, reinforcement arrives and the fight is cut short yet again…

Yes, a group hug is essential in any group therapy session.

Hold your chin when you are deep in thoughts 2.

Hold your chin when you are deep in thoughts 3.

Set in a worn torn era, the story tells a wounded man who is being nursed by a female in a ruin shelter. Initially the patient is reluctant to disclose any personal information about himself but through a series of flashbacks, we came to understand events of his troubled past. Before anyone confuses this with a certain award-winning movie, here is a recap of last week’s episode of Gundam 00.

No idea how the GN particles got inside the cockpit.

With half the season gone, there doesn’t seem to be any romantic advancement between Setsuna and hime-sama. Setsunna doesn’t look like one who desires love. He’s 21 and Marina is 29. But then again, age doesn’t matters when you are in love right?

3 Haros is all it need to rebuild an arm of a gundam. Amazing.

Andrei is terrible with words.

Although Patrick doesn’t look like the person one would turn to for love advice but he did score with the Colonel.

Patrick’s fail attempt at doing the kira.

So is Santa Claus.

Lockon the friendly ghost appears in critical point of one’s dream to give advice to the misguided.

Marina reveals that she loves music and it has been her childhood dream to sing on board the Gundam Frontier.

Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of the situation whereby a miniskirt wearing loli is off guard and sound asleep?

“Good morning. Thank you for calling the A-LAWS hotline, this is Patrick and how may I assist you?” What happened to service with a smile?

I wonder. Isn’t it easier to snipe without wearing the helmet?

Kathy is annoyed at Billy the back seat driver.

Bad time to get an upset stomach.

Shakugan No Louise and so the plot thicken.

…ugly.

The new ED sang by Yuna Ito is nice.

Special thanks to Lene for letting me borrow some of the screenshots. Do check out her blog for her personal take on Gundam 00 episodes.

In Greek mythology, Helen of Troy was described as having a face that launched a thousand ships. In this week’s episode of Gundam 00, we have a song that sank a thousand ships.

A happy ending for the fateful couple? Must be Saji’s dream.

Why so serious?

Ian wakes up from hypersleep…

… only to find himsef either in heaven or Switzerland.

High tech camouflage is useless when the shadow gives u away.

The stunt you are seeing right now, exiting the cockpit when the gundam is still in midair is preformed by trained professional. Please do not try this at home.

High noon showdown.

Shakugan no Ribbons.

Ex-Celestial Being. More than meets the eye Ribbons is.

How convenient, the controls are at just at the fingertips.

On Earth there’s no such thing as purple smoke.

Take that! This is for not killing Nena when you have the chance 4 years ago!

Just as Setsuna was able to deliver the finishing move…

Something unexpected happened.

Marina sang. Aimo~ Aimo~ Oops wrong song.

Plot No Jutsu. Has no idea at all how Setsuna and everyone else is able to hear the song from so far away.

And Ali got away. Thank you Marina.

What’s that hideous looking thing on the screen?

It is a gift from Ribbon says he.

Louise’s “Do not want”  look.

Mr Bushido’s new suit looks equally dubious.

Some people can’t take rejections very well.

Well as they always say. There are plenty of trees in the forest, plenty of fishes in the sea and plenty of coins in Uncle Scrooge’s money bin.
