Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - Final Thoughts

General Summary:

2307 AD, the depletion of fossil forced humanity to search for a new source of power. This lead up to the the creation of a massive array of solar power power collectors orbiting the Earth. They are supported by three orbital elevators, each serving one of the three "power blocs" on the planet. With this new found source of power only the regions with the elevators benefited from the project. This resulted in a constant wars breaking out around the globe among minor countries for fuel and energy.  The conflict lead to the creation of a military group called Celestial Being, dedicated to eradicating war and uniting humanity. All events lead up the movie Gundam 00 The Movie: A wakening of the Trailblazer.

My Thoughts:

Out of all  the Gundam series this is a must see. It has just the right amount of romance (SEED killed me with the romance!), the Gundam's aren't too over powered and the story is awesome. If you don't like war anime with a lot of politics then you may not like it as much, but give it a shot.

BTOOM! First Impressions

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iDtW4D7uLTI#!



General Summary:

Ryota Sakamoto is a 22-year old gamer and is one of the elite players in a first person shooter game called BTOOM! Think of the game like Master Chief (from halo) look alikes that fight with a various array of grenades. One day Sakamoto wakes up on a tropical island with a case full of what looks like bombs from the game.

Further Look Into The Story (SPOILERS):

The game makers of BTOOM! are seeking to either improve or find a new entertainment gateway for their product. To do so they take people put them on the island and make them play for real. To get off the island you most collect a set amount of chips from other players by killing them. Each and every person on the island was sent there by someone who wanted them to disappear.

My Thoughts:

I am currently on episode 9 and things have been getting more interesting with each and every episode. I can't wait til next week. The show does have a Batoru rowaiaru (Battle Royale) feel to it which I love.
