Gundam 00

New Gundam series! Called Gundam 00, it's already into 3 episodes, and I feel that it has much to offer. Being in our Gregorian calendar timeline (2307 AD), it is a step away from the other timelines which Gundam Wing and Gundam Seed Destiny offered. In fact, it included most of the current issues and conflicts which are happening in our world today, and throws it 300 years into the future!

Well, I won't go into a recap of what the entire storyline is about, but u can read it off Wikipedia. However, there is a bit of similarity with Gundam Seed (and Destiny), as well as Gundam Wing.

First and foremost, the Gundams are the robots (or tools of war) by Celestial Being (some paramilitary organisation) to rid the world of war (or so they say). And these Gundams as usual have technology which are way advanced and beyond what the world has. With reference to Gundam Wing, it's similar in the sense that the Gundams were used to attack the government, but in Wing the pilots worked independently. Here, they work as a team with a controlling entity.

And there is the SEED feel to it all, admist the mambo-jumbo of the first 3 episodes. Man...gonna watch more before I can give some real info of this new series.

And to top it off, what an interesting article by Darkmirage on Nyoro~n Subs on the translation boo-boos...wait...did I say boo-boos? Or were they more than meets the eye?

Gosh. The translations were totally OFF TRACK and I was really bewildered about the sub, till C&M's one came alone, a day later though. Much better quality and better fansub, definitely!

I'll keep the recent episode by Nyoro~n Subs for laughter.

Fate/Stay Night

Latest Anime which I'm catching (albeit on YouTube), on top of Naruto and Deathnote. Well, it's a pity that you dun get much seeds for this anime, and it was released quite some time back.

Fate/Stay Night is an anime television series which follows (very closely) to the TYPE-MOON visual novel Fate/Stay Night. There are three branching storylines: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel. It's also made into a PC game, and I've heard (and read) that it has explicit hentai scenes (gosh!). But anyway, this anime is just purely suggestive, so it's similar to those of Evangelion and the-what-nots.

The story revolves around the main character, Shirou, and his servant Saber, who are participating in the 5th Holy Grail War. Well, all of us should have heard some stuff about the Holy Grail, and this anime series does draw some mythological and legendary figures into the picture. To materialise the Holy Grail, a ritual is held, with the Holy Grail selecting 7 wizards (masters) and 7 familiar spirits (servants). The Servants are: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker.

Why should you catch this? Well, in my opinion this is quite an interesting (though short) series if you are interested in legends and mythical beings. Of course, being a combat-type anime, it's better if you like fighting and magic, rather than comedic or thought-provoking type of anime (because there are few funny scenes).

Try to catch it on YouTube. It's all uploaded there! ;)
