| As expected of L'Arc en Ciel, the OP song was great. This is my first Gundam series, and it already seems good because it reminds me of Code Geass (Celestial Being = Black Knights, terrorism, changing the world). The thing that really surprised me is the abundance of bishies. Setsuna looks so pretty, and that purple hair dude... I thought he was a girl. |

| -------------------------- -- -- hmmm.. i guess gundam seed destiny is better> |
 |
| ------------------------------- -- -- but this anime is good to!! |
| |
| I just watched the first episode for the first time and I really liked it. Personally I find it better than the first episode of SEED & SEED Destiny and the story too, more interesting like Wing. |
 |
| I just popped my Gundam cherry. I really liked this, very similar to Code Geass. I wonder how much its going to be like it. |
| Epic episode is epic . And this show is awesome . P.S . . Rewatchin :) |
| a different kind of GUNDAM series. and ii love the opening theme! |
"Perhaps the distant part of the sky always seems clearest, so that we will always strive to reach it."  chiquit |
| Awesome animation. |
| Ok... so it's like Code Geass without supernatural stuff but they got imba Gundam like usual instead and the animation quality isn't as good. I wonder why some people live in outer space. |
 |
| Excellent start. I like the little throwbacks to the older series in lots of different ways. Damn haro. ♥ |
| Its a great start and its solid . Gonna give this series a shot ! Note: There is a haro in there >.> |
| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
DerDingens said: I laughed too hard at that part and I'm still looking for a reason as to why. :x"But Sir, I-I only have a one hundred and twenty hours of Space Training!" -"Well then just crash into them, you'll get a two-rank promotion." Poor Ryu, having your heroic sacrifice mocked in an alternate Universe. Enjoyed this episode. "We just called out the whole world." Shit's about to go down. |
 |
| From this first ep, the plot looks interesting, especially the part where Celestial Being is going to use force to "eradicate" all sorts of warfare. Wonder if this organisation has any hidden agenda.. |
 |
| That was quite an eventful episode, the premise behind Celestial Being is interesting and it's just plain awesome to see some Gundam action again. I remember trying this out back in like 2008, can't believe I was actually bored with this first episode! Miyano Mamoru as the Exia pilot is a huge win too. |
 |
| A lot of content packed in 25 minutes there. Not bad for a first episode. I like the more down to earth technology (it feels more relatable in a way) and the pretty character designs. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Without other good action anime to watch right now... I had the urge to re-watch this... Intro episode. So many characters were introduced that I think it made the action suffer a bit. Still, it was really good. |
  |
| This is the first time I've watched anything Gundam since Gundam Wing on Toonami back in the day. This might be the ONLY time watching anything Gundam since Gundam Wing on Toonami back in the day! The plot was kind of hard to follow, but otherwise this was a pretty solid episode with an interesting enough premise I expect excellence. Now on to see if it delivers! |

| Pretty good first episode, and even as someone who's never seen a Gundam entry before it's very obvious that Code Geass took heavy inspiration from this franchise. |
| Well now, definitely got Gundam Wing vibes from this one. Took me too long to get this one started. |
 |
| Boring episode but has potential. I'll give it a chance. The part liked the most was the OST, it was surprisingly good, |
きみに逢えてよかった |
| Decided to start watching this on a whim because of my sudden feeling of withdrawal from G-Tekketsu. Remembered that 00 has been on my high-priority list since 4-5 years ago. So far so good. The beginning was a bit confusing, but I feel like that's normal for a Gundam series...at least from the other 3 Gundam series I've seen. At least they revealed the main plot before the episode ended! Which is really interesting, since as two of the characters commented, the existence of Celestial Being and their goal is a contradiction. My main impression so far is that the character designs are beautiful. I've never been that into Gundam designs, so no comment there. I do like the zero gravity shown in this series, that lobby room(?) is something I've never seen before. Atm though, I'm not super interested in any characters yet, maybe a bit curious about Setsuna since we see his past at the very beginning, and also Hallelujah(?) or the guy who keeps "talking" to Hallelujah. I heard a lot of people saying that 00 is like a modern version of Wing, and so far, I can see that with the characters (none really popping out), and the secret organization thing. Idk if that's what people mean about similarity though, I suspect it's things that happen later on. I sure hope it's better than Wing, I didn't enjoy that series despite choosing to watch it due to the praises I heard about it. Anyways, I was surprised to hear Hyde. I thought, wait, do I hear Hyde? Love the OP :) Also, why is there a Haro here...noooooooooooo |
| The idea is clear, stop the war, but what is the goal of this "organization"? Well, I suppose I will know soon!!!! kekekeke |
| This episode marks the beginnihg of Graham’s obsession with gundam. Setsuna: God doesn’t exist Gundam: *Makes a fabulous appearance in the sky* |
  |
| Time to restart my adventure with Gundam series! At last, I must say, but I regret I haven't checked it out earlier (better later than never, hah). After the first episode of Gundam 00 I must say I really enjoyed everything about it. Art, animation, plot, general concept and audio were really good. I heard it's a good idea to start watching Gundam from 00, and I will definitely continue watching this series. |
| Watched this because I want to see if I'm actually into mecha and maybe get into Gundam along the way. I actually was interested right away although I would be lying if I didn't say I got a little confused so I had to go read the episode synopsis just to confirm I understood what was happening. Nice ops and ending, I think they'll probably grow on me. Regardless of me being slightly confused, I actually think this is a cool start to the series. I hope it only gets better from here. Great animation and art, also, uh, wow. Pretty men... Looking foward to episode 2. |
  |
| A pretty bad first episode. Every main(?) character has about the same affect, and it's annoying. Dumb premise too. First dropped Gundam series? Maybe. |

| My first Gundam series. Not really a good introduction. A lot of terminologies, characters, and things happening. Not yet hooked. I have a feeling that I will drop this series. |

| this was legitimately awful. maybe if there was a decent premise or characters or whatever but we got a lot of stuff happening with little to no actual context and force-fed exposition like a high schooler wrote it. not going to write it off yet, but i'm not at all impressed. |
 |
| An ok first episode, a lot happened, i like the designs for now but i find everything a bit confusing, but i guess it's normal for Gundam shows. |
