So there's this new series of Gundam called

Gundam 00

being the anime/gundam fan that I am,
its no surprise that i had to go and watch it.
its only on its 2nd episode now,
not licensed.

so imma take my chances.

its quite similar to its predecessor,
Gundam SEED.

again, its about politics.
nations inventing mobile suits,
advanced infantry units,
for defence/war purposes.
Set in the year, 2307 AD, fossil fuels became exhausted and the whole world turned to a new source of energy, Solar Power.

Humanity must rely on 3 gigantic orbital elevators,
built to serve as solar energy generation systems.

However, these 3 "solar plants"
are in the hands of the 3 major powers of the world,
who reap the most benefits.
these 3 powers play a Zero-Sum game for their own
prestige and prosperity


Union
comprising of Organization of American States,
Australia and Japan.

Aziz's notes: here, the producers of the series have imagined the whole of the Americas, USA, South American countries, Canada to have united into one federation, the Organization of American states.

Human Reform League
comprising of Russia, China, India and South East Asia (dats us!)

Aziz's notes: here, the producers make use of what ppl today are predicting, that is, India and China, establishing themselves as major powers of the world in the future. maybe SEA will be strong too!!

and Advanced European Union
based on the current European Union, having control of Africa.

Aziz's notes: here, producers have nth much to do, but to just portray Europe as stronger than what it is today, having Africa under its control.


Constant warfare around the globe for fuels and energy 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.

so basically they plan to stop war, with war.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 follows four mobile suit pilots termed Gundam Meisters (Meister is Master in German). The protagonist is 16-year old Setsuna F. Seiei, a quiet, taciturn young man who grew up in a war-torn Kurdish Republic in the Middle-East, and a Gundam Meister since two years ago. He pilots the GN-001 Gundam Exia a high mobility mobile suit effective in melee combat.

In Episode 2, the four Gundam Meisters are sent to stop
the fighting in Southern India, used to be known as Sri Lanka.
Social Studies?

they havent forgotten about us.
thn again, we are from the 21st century.
born in 20th la.

Here is the Sri Lankan war.

fought with advanced semi-humanoid mobile suits.

And the Gundam Meisters stopping it.


as expected from a successor of Gundam SEED,
the series promises intense fighting and combat,
accompanied with great animation and graphics.

but of course, nth beats SEED's
Akatsuki, Strike Freedom and Destiny Gundams.
yet.

episode 2 ends with Setsuna, on the way back to
his base of operations after intervening in Southern India,
crossing swords with an ace pilot from AEU (i think)
