Gundam 00 S2 — Episode 04
Meh. It’s an okay episode. Slightly less interesting than playing Macross Ace Frontier, but definitely better than watching paint dry. If I have to rank this episode on the scale of one to five, it’s a koala bear. It’s cute and all, but no one goes to the zoo just to see a bunch of tree-hugging furbags.
Summary
In a love comedy, this is the part she wakes up and jumps his bone
Before colours were invented in the 50s, the world was black and white, and traffic accidents were rife. A young boy by the name of Subject E-0057 met a little girl in a secret research facility in space and became a man. The little girl was actually lying stark naked in a glass box, but the flashback had to be edited due to the will of a mysterious group of superhumans known only as The Censors.
This show glorifies terrorism
Marina wants to return to Azadistan so that she may once again be captured by the Federation and relive the blissful days of solitary confinement and interrogation that were rudely disrupted by Setsuna. Oh that silly girl.
Her arms are way too thin, and omg his pose looks familiar!
Grace is confused about her feelings for a complete stranger who looks exactly like the person of her nightly fantasies. In reality, Lockon is really the same person because Sunrise reuses the same animation and voice-acting. It’s like if God created two people with the same DNA sequence, they would really be the same person! Either that or maternal twins. Yeah.
People with funny haircuts get promoted a lot in A-LOLS
A-LOLS has a new overly-confident asshole wasting precious airtime. It’s unlikely that his character will be developed in any meaningful manner before he dies with the standard-issue Surprised Look™ as his ship gets vaporized into a pink cloud of Clefairy dust.
Some kind of underwater mating ritual
The new guy sets a rather clever trap for Ptolemaios which basically involves attacking them with a new top-secret mobile lobster and a lot of mysterious fluids. Sumeragi sees through his brilliant plan and responds with the superior tactic of doing nothing. Tieria and Setsuna are the ones who actually save the day. Hurray.
“Hai, watashi no namae wa bushido desu. Kawaii~! Sugoi~!“
Graham is basically a weeabo otaku now. He wears that pseudo-Orient getup, pilots a mobile suit with the clichéd kabuto motif, and makes people call him “Mr. Bushido”. I’m guessing he attends Anime Expo too. He’s probably going to die by seppuku.
The Katagiri family has a proud ponytail tradition
And Billy joins his uncle in the dark side to take revenge on Sumeragi for using him like the tool he is. How unexpected.

Aeolia Schenberg has invented the solar furnace. Gundam 00 will soon be reality.
On an unrelated note, I think Jenna Fischer is the girl of my dream. <3
