Gundam 00

If you all have been Gunota, you'll notice a new wave of gundam franchise in on the way what really strikes me recently is how the newer gundam series looks closer to rip off, especially how some designs from the upcoming series, Gundam 00, reminds me of the Arbalest from Full Metal Panic!

Still, I have to admit that the time progresses people will eventually find themselves running out of ideas and maybe forced to modify old designs to suit future series correctly. Well, perhaps some may prove me wrong but still personal opinions sometimes really drives me on just to investigate more and more into it. If anyone of you are wondering on where to get the teaser video for Gundam 00, it is located at youtube for non-japanese residents, but for japanese residents (you guys should already know about it by now lol) you can access that thru the main site itself. For those who don't know anything about Gundam 00's plot, here's a rip from Wikipedia and some similar webpages out on the net (Please note that it contains a bit Japanese);

The series will be set in 2307 AD of the Gregorian calendar. During this time, fossil fuels became exhausted and humanity must rely on three large-scale solar power systems that are in the hands of the three major powers on the planet: The Union (based on the United States Of America), The People's Reform League (comprised of China, Russia and India) and Europe's AEU (based on the European Union). Constant warfare around the globe lead to the formation of a private military organization, called Celestial Being, dedicated to eradicating war with the use of four humanoid machines called Gundams.

"Two Powers, One Hope"

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 follows four mobile suit pilots termed Gundam Meisters (ガンダムマイスター, Gandamu Maisutā). The protagonist is 16-year old Setsuna F. Seiei (刹那(せつな)・F・セイエイ, Setsuna F. Seiei), a quiet young man who grew up in a war-torn Middle East, being of the Lebanese Kurds descent, and a Gundam Meister since two years ago. He will pilot the GN-001 Gundam Excia, a high mobility mobile suit effective in melee combat.

Well, it seems nice enough, but what I can say is, lets hope it won't be a disaster amongst the fans. I'll be posting more stuff on the cosplay (Its on this sunday) by next week or so due to project schedules so stay tuned for anyone who wants to read more on Cosplay events.
