Sweet dreams.

I started watching this show for one reason, I heard there was a cute girl who wears cardigans. Turns out it was something better, a cute boy in cardigans. Best outfit ever.

Pretty much the same reason for me; however, I wanted to see why everybody on /cm/ wondered whether Tieria was a boy or a girl. I thought he had a girly voice or something.

You guys were saying in the other thread that besides Lockon and Tieria, the other main characters' relationships weren't strong or didn't evolve, but I disagree. I think Setsuna really liked Lockon (not in a romantic way of course). Even Tieria and Setsuna start to get alone when they fight against the Thrones, even though their relationship goes back to hell after Lockon dies.

The only one I got the feeling he was left out was Allelujah, but he had his own mental issues. Buuut if we consider Hallelujah as an individual, he learns to cooperate with him (Doublellujah etc), which is an improvement, isn't it?

I do agree with you, although I think the complaint in the other thread is more that people felt they weren't as close as they should have been, which is more the viewer's personal desire than whether or not the show actually featured relationship development (there was plenty of that, but probably not to the extent some people would have liked).

I personally liked the fact that these guys were prickly pears who had a lot of issues getting close to anyone, let alone each other. It wouldn't have been true to character if they did really get to know each other without some extenuating circumstances.
Which is why the Setsuna/Marina stuff made me RAGE. Oh well, Setsuna's just as crazy as the very worst of them; he just doesn't show it.

I actually started watching the show because I saw this picture. It looked like it was going to be such a moving, baww-worthy scene. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed.

Not that I don't like Lockon or anything, or thought that his death wasn't touching. But judging from this picture, I got the impression that he didn't want to die, that his death was unexpected to him, and that he was reaching towards the world as though he wished he could live. I found it to be a really moving picture, even without knowing anything about him or the show.

So, yeah... after finding out that he kind of put himself in that situation and was totally prepared to die, I was a little disappointed. Still an amazing scene, but it just didn't deliver the same heart-tug that this picture did.

Anyways, I guess that's why it's generally a bad idea to hang on to your own expectations when you start watching something. Gotta take everything as it comes.

Aww, really? I liked the Setsuna/Marina stuff. The more subtle the romance is hinted at, the better, I feel. Nothing was really shoved in your face, other than the fact that she's the most obvious of romantic possibilites for him. Everything else was very much platonic and sweet.

But personally, I think that's one of the great things about this show. The romances are ADORABLE and not at all like your usual frickin' run-of-the-mill anime loveplot. As for Setsuna, he's not immediately implied to be plotbound to any female character (unlike everyone in Gundam SEED/Destiny), and it doesn't begin in any sort of romantic way at all. Rather rocky, even. I guess Setsuna/Marina will more than likely be inevitable in S2, but I'm looking forward very much to it since they laid out a really sweet, unassuming, gradual foundation.

And of course, Patrick and Kati. Oh gosh. I generally hate playboy characters, but when one REALLY falls in love with a girl who's not their usual type, it just turns me into a blob.

And then Saji and Louise was pure and very realistic, I think. Even though a lot of people were bugged by Louise's whining, I thought it made them more like a normal everyday couple and bumped up my respect for Saji quite a bit. (For sticking by her no matter what he had to put up with.) Also, totally sweet and pure. I loved the episodes where he had to win over the approval of her mother, especially <3

ANYWAYS. This is /cm/. BACK to the gay y/n?

Agreed. I'm not a stupid rabid yaoi-googled fangirl who wouldn't want any of the guys getting closer to a girl, but, why does it always have to be the beautiful, charming, peace-loving little princess?
Her relationship with Setsuna would be pretty cute if it they managed to pull some kind of mother-son/big sis-little brother attachment, but no, I guess they'll go with the Hero/Princess thing once again.

Eh, I really don't see Marina fitting the flopsy-bunny princess stereotype so much, which is why the Setsuna/Marina hinting made me go "Hmm" rather than "Not this shit again." She's not really charming, she's not moe, she's not even especially good at her job. The point is made over and over again that she's pretty ineffectual as a leader, and the fact that the people who hold her up as sort of a desperate beacon of hope and change are the ones that she can't protect is telling. She's not a crouching schoolgirl, hidden mastermind like Relena. The director is turning tropes on their heads again; in this case, the peace-loving, purehearted princess can't change the world by galvanizing people through sheer charisma and will. Marina has very little charisma, and her power is in name only. She actually comes off as a dupe and a failure in a lot of cases.

I think Mizushima's trying to twist the stereotype a lot of people apply to her (and to her relationship with Setsuna), meaning that her success isn't assured and if she doesn't actively break that type and start acting like an honest to god world leader instead of a magical figurehead, she's going to get steamrolled. Since she's actually kind of nervous and vanilla and nerdy, it made me more interested in her character, and I ended up seeing her and Setsuna as just people instead of the inevitable hero and princess couple.

Watch as nothing remotely romantic happens and it winds up completely open-ended, just to totally turn things inside-out.

IMHO, she is actually portayed like "I may not be smart enough but oh I'm so cute and I want the world to change because I love peace"--and I've also seen that before. Also, I know Setsuna and Marina's relationship wasn't entirely developed yet, but I'm 100% sure it will on S2, and while I don't know how it'll turn out, I'm hoping so bad they don't choose the most obvious choice for them, "I'll fight to protect her, blah blah", "I want to be happy in a peaceful world with him, blah".

Me too. Though, I think one of the great things about Gundam 00 is it doesn't ride on stupid cliches like that so much. It's a little more mature and realistic, in that sense. Let's just hope they keep it up in the second season.

But yeah... I don't see Marina as being the cutesy type at all, or one who sees herself as such. She's 24, she knows she's supposed to be a headstrong lady but can't seem to hold herself to that standard. The failure that 891752 was talking about was one of the things I really liked about her.

I just wish she got more screen time. Then again, if she's to be a major character in S2 like they mentioned, I guess it makes sense that they held her out.
>> Anonymous
>>891802

Yeah, she should be around more in S2, which will, hopefully, lead to good things. In the first season, I can't say that liked or disliked her character at all. She wasn't around enough/didn't do enough for me to really feel anything about her. If she continues in S2 the same way she has in S1, however, I will be very disappointed.

>...meaning that her success isn't assured and if she doesn't actively break that type and start acting like an honest to god world leader instead of a magical figurehead, she's going to get steamrolled.

In S2, I really hope we get to see the 'world leader' side of her. Gundam 00 needs more strong female characters.

I did like Gundam 00's females more than I thought.

Sumeragi was drunk fanservice bait but she was smart, Feldt had a crush on Lockon but wasn't your typical annoying stalker, Shirin and Kathy were fucking awesome in my opinion.
Soma didn't catch my attention (and the pink Tieren made me raaaaage a bit), but she was a cool girl. I can't fucking stand Nena Trinity, Louise was annoying but she kinda grew on me, and Chris was eh but she was cute.

LoL. TBH, even though fanservice boobs kind of irk me in general, I usually don't mind as long as the female character is very strong in some sense. Either in physical strength or mental strength (two examples being Tsunade and Mia Fey, not to go off-topic though. Just saying.)

What really bothers me, though, is that the girls who are an entire ten years younger than her are almost the exact same size. WTH.

Sumeragi I can't really comment on since I felt like she was a balanced character - she was smart, and skilled, but had realistic faults. Felt I feel was a bit like Marina - she only really started coming into strength near the end of S1, so I'm hoping to see a bit more of her in S2 (although not as a pilot). Shirin we just saw too little of so I'm glad she's returning and I agree - Kathy, when we got to see her, was amazing. Soma, just.. didn't do it for me. (I can hear /m/ RAGEing already.) Was I the only one who felt like she was lacking any real depth, in S1? Most of her fans, no offense intended, just seem to like her for LOLI PILOT LOL. I ended up liking Louise quite a bit and must admit that I could never entirely be annoyed by her, as she reminded me of a good friend I had. (I was her bitch, just as Saji is Louise's.) And Chris' best moment, unfortunately, was her last scene. As for Nena, I disliked her for being too gimmicky, but I've already gone on about this in one of the other threads so I'll save everyone from me going on about it again.

Marina irritated me in the sense that I felt they spent too much screentime on her with so little results, and I really wish there were more substance out of her that isn't just passive acceptance and doesn't result in the WIF syndrome.
But my real issue with Marina is how Setsuna just suddenly decides that she's relevant in his life. Most of Setsuna's relationships are portrayed consistently, with the exception of Marina. I keep thinking maybe I missed something, but nope, the entire delivery of "I'm a Meister!!!11" really came out of nowhere. I mean, sure she's the "leader" of the country that took over his homeland, but there's no real personal relevance for someone so focused on his past. I really hope they develop the Setsuna/Marina in an atypical way, as I'm pretty tired of Princess/Knight relationships. Maybe something like Marina saving Setsuna in a way that plays up her growth from passive naivete to proactive but imperfect stratagem, i.e. a non-good end (I can't see a good end between Setsuna and Marina).

00's female cast actually manages not to irritate me like previous Gundam shows did (anything by Tomino was pretty much FAIL, with the exception of Turn A; Lacus probably couldn't DIAF even tied to a stake), but they need more screentime. Characters like Katie and Sumeragi are awesome, and Louise is pending judgment since she apparently plays a very big role in S2. Soma was a little too cliche, but bearable for me.

And to make this more relevant to /cm/, who has more Lockon/Tieria pics? I usually don't feel too strongly about my pairings, but oh god, Vowel's moeGAR is overwhelming.

Reaaally. He even gave her the cold shoulder about her "diplomatic solutions" policy, and suddenly he was dreaming of her calling him Soran. I like to think she reminds her of her mother of something, but there's no evidence about that.
And yes I imagined a bad end also. I had this weird idea about Ali killing her. Probably won't happen though, haha.

And yes we need moar Lockon/Tieria.

Yeah, her development was pretty good, I just don't think she got to be 'strong' until the last few episodes. Everyone sort of helped her out of her shell, and then they all died. So she's, more or less, got to continue being strong on her own now, which is what I'm hoping S2 shows.

We'll have to see what October, and onward, brings. I'm kind of hoping it doesn't up being Princess/Knight as well. As much as they seem like they might be heading for a 'solid' (so to speak) pairing, I'd like to see it become something else. Older sister/younger brother relationship, good friends, etc. If they end up together, it'd better be after some real development.

Regarding the Marina thing...the director did say in one of the latest interviews that her character got too little screentime and apparently she's going to appear more in S2. Hopefully she'll be more capable then, especially since she won't have Shirin anymore.

Also, her relationship with Setsuna..it doesn't concern me too much, at least not now, but it does seem a little..awkward. We know Setsuna isn't the most sociable character and their interaction is quite interesting. Like>>891625said, they'd work better as something less than lovers, and I don't think they bothered to give her Setsuna's mum's seyuu for nothing. *cough*Blood+*cough*
