Synopsis

A squad of reckless, god-complex-having pilots with nothing left to lose decide they're going to end all war, by starting fights with every military on Earth. That's the premise of Gundam 00, and it's way more thoughtful than it sounds. Set in 2307 AD, fossil fuels are gone and three superpower blocs control massive orbital elevators that harvest solar energy. Nations without access to those elevators? They get left behind, which means constant conflict over scraps. Into this mess steps Celestial Being, a shadowy organization with four absurdly advanced mechs called Gundams, each piloted by someone carrying serious personal baggage. Setsuna F. Seiei is a former child soldier. Lockon Stratos hides grief behind charm. Allelujah and Tieria each have their own fractures that unfold slowly across the 25-episode run. What makes this one stick is the geopolitical layer: it's grounded in real-world energy politics and doesn't pretend the "heroes" are unambiguously right. The world pushes back hard against Celestial Being, and the show takes that tension seriously. Sunrise brought their A-game with the animation too; the mecha fights have real weight and tactical clarity. If you liked Code Geass for its morally gray protagonists challenging world powers, or Gundam Wing for the "small squad vs. the world" setup, this is in that lineage but with a more modern, polished execution. It earns its emotional beats without rushing them.

This episode explains the world the story takes place in and briefly reiterates the central plot of the series that was introduced in the previous episode. It's the Gundams' first armed intervention and it immediately becomes apparent just how advanced they are compared to the so-called "modern" mechs. You might feel overwhelmed by the number of characters introduced in this episode but don't worry, the important ones will be properly introduced as the series progresses. Both the OP and ED are absolute bangers and I didn't notice any inconsistencies in the animation all throughout the episode. P.S. The timeline of this Gundam series takes place on Anno Domini (AD) timeline so it doesn't have any connection to any of the past Gundam series

No matter how many times I watched this series, it still doesn't get old. You wouldn't even believe that this was released in 2007 because of the animation and art. Sure the soundtrack is fantastic and the animation is fluid but what piqued my interest was the scene towards the end of the episode that reveals the plot of this series. P.S. Both the sub and dub of this anime are excellent. Every voice actor fits their character perfectly and their performances are outstanding. This might be the first Gundam series that I'd highly recommend watching in English dub.

Gundam 00 is a masterpiece that has aged incredibly well. Its story messaging about war, politics, and unity hits even harder in today’s political climate. The animation and mecha designs still look modern nearly 20 years later. The music and OST are outstanding. Even the movie’s aliens, despite some fans’ disappointment, perfectly tie together the series’ core message.
