OWw man, its been quite a while since i've written a review on something. Due to my prep to ozzy and my studies here, i haven't got the chance to watch anything yet. This review now even is the latest after a long while. Nevertheless, here's the review.
The latest series of the Gundam metaverse starts of with a new story and plot after 2 series from the cosmic era metaverse represened by the Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny. When first introduced to the public, I first thought "...hmmm...this series gonna be somewhat kinda like Gundam Wing". This was because the series had superior gundams compared to the mobile suits in the series. But then, that was the beginning of everything.
The story itself is about a group called Celestial Being with its intention of eradicating war using mobiles suits called Gundams. Their pilots are desinated "Gundam Meisters" and pilot a spesific Gundam with its own ability and function. The main character here is a 15 year old kurdish boy with the code name Setsuna F.Seiei who pilots the Gundam Exia. This Gundam has a spesific ability to engage in close quarter combats with its various kinds of swords and blades mounted on the suit.
What made me thought that this series was promising was the production staff. The director, Seiji Mizushima also directed Fullmetal ALchemist, were we all know was a great anime. Therefore, I was expecting he give a fresh look on the story itself. And it did turn out as expected. Not only bout the story, even the mecha designs were quite new, compared to the suits from the cosmic ere metaverse which were a direct rip off from the UC timelne. The most striking pasrt was about the character designs were they looked kinda feminine. But this didn't hinder the hole story. In fact, it was kinda refreshing for the whole.
Overall, the series itself was great. New story, new mecha and chara designs make everything seem perfect. If there was something imperfect was the fact that they intentionally split the series to 2 seasons. I don't know why but somehow makes the series more compact and strightforward with not having too many filler episodes. That makes every episode feel meaningful. At least, this series is a couple times better than the series from the cosmic era timeline. For a rating..hmmm..I don't know whether i'll give it 4,5 or 5...anyway..maybe its 5 out of 5. Just can't wait to see the next season.....
