Gundam 00 is the latest instalment in the Sunrise's long running Gundam franchise and personally, I consider it as one of the best gundam series up to date.
Gundam 00 will consist of 2 seasons, with the first season just ending on 29th March 2008 with 25 episodes and the second season starting up sometime in October later this year.The settings for Gundam 00, is that fossil fuels have become exhausted, which lead to mankind looking towards the sun (solar) as new main source of fuel. Hence three orbital elevators have been built, with each one belowing on one of three main powers (Union, Human Reform League and Advanced European Union) in the new world.
However, due to the lack of fuel, and the three main powers controlling the supply, numerous wars have began. Wars for fuel sources and wars started by either one of the three to conquer other countries spread through out the world. This is were, Gundam 00 starts. It introduces a four party to the mix, called Celestial Being which seeks to end all wars through Arm Interventions. It is Celestial Being, that carries all Four Gundams featured in Gundam 00.
The four Gundams are Exia GN001 (Melee, Sword expert), Dynames GN002 (Guns, Sniper expert), Kyrios GN003(Flight,Speed,Bombardment) and Virtue GN005 (Mid Range Weapons, High Powered Beam Weapons). Also, note that, missing from the line up is GN004, which was later shown in the series, to be another Gundam, hidden within Gundam Virtue itself.
Virtue, under duress, can purge it's armor, and undergoes a system change, to become GN004 Nadleeh. Nadleeh carries with it a very unique ability, which causes any other mobile suits in the vicinity while the system is activated are able to be controlled and completely shutdown as long as they are equipped with Veda OSes.
Gundam 00, I would give it a 9 out 10. Highly recommended as the storyline is great, plus the graphics are really top notch.
