Gundam 00 OP2 PV: The Brilliant Green – Ash Like Snow

Gundam 00 is a stylish-yet-gritty war drama. The first opening theme, L’Arc~en~Ciel’s Daybreak’s Bell, evoked more of the grit. The next opening theme, The Brilliant Green’s Ash Like Snow, evokes more of the style. I’m not sure I like the shift, but after episode 13 it’s time for a new opening theme anyway. Haro’s completely out of place in this video, but what the heck — everybody loves Haro.

Gundam 00 Episode 13: Where is Your God?

Until now, each arc of Gundam 00 was set up so well in the beginning that the resolution came as a bit of a letdown. This is the exception. From an information leak to a hometown hunch to an unarmed Gundam, well-timed gambits kept up the tension in Gundam 00 episode 13, even after the great setup in episode 12. Dig Lockon sniping without Dynames, Hong Long going Kato, Saji attracting Louise’s mom, and Setsuna showing us why Exia carries so many damn swords.

Oh, and you’ve got to love any big robot fight in which the hero taunts, “Where is your God?” Kinda like the Burger King.
