Gundam 00 Series 2 – CM2

 

A new Gundam 00 commercial aired today after CODE GEASS R2, and it’s got a lot of juicy bits – much more than the first commercial. Among other things, it looks like Wang Liu Mei grew up (her new haircut makes her look kind of evil), Saji’s going to be getting a bigger piece of the action, Louise is going to become a pilot, Allelujah is restrained insane-asylum style, and the Ptolemaios is back (or at least a variation of it). The song (probably the OP) accompanying the commercial sounds like it’s by UVERworld, but I was wrong about CODE GEASS R2 and ORANGE RANGE back when R2′s commercials were airing, so it’s entirely possible that this could be someone else as well. In any case, this was more than enough to get me excited about the continuation, and Gundam 00 should make the loss of R2 easier to handle come October.

    Oh, nice.

  • August 3, 2008 at 5:28 amhobli

    Sounds like UVERworld singing. o_O other then that, sweet ;D

  • August 3, 2008 at 5:30 amMikus

    Anyone know the name of the theme song in this comercial?

  • August 3, 2008 at 5:33 amKing

    omg. this is gonna be good

  • August 3, 2008 at 5:33 amdai

    @hobli

    i think it is UVERworld

  • August 3, 2008 at 5:33 amRmX

    w00tness.

  • August 3, 2008 at 5:39 amCiapek

    yay :D its must be UVERworld <3

  • August 3, 2008 at 5:40 amGil

    That’s one cool song.

  • August 3, 2008 at 5:45 amGil

    Wang Liu Mei looks very evil.

    And Saji with a gun o.O?

  • August 3, 2008 at 5:53 amDAI

    yes

  • August 3, 2008 at 6:18 amGP

    Man, this is kinda lame imo, Saji with a gun or w/e his bigger part will be will probably involve him being major emo and angsty like no other gundam character before.

    Also Omni, any way to get some screenshots from this? It’s so short and flys past so quick, plus the quality isn’t the best.

  • August 3, 2008 at 6:18 amKaioshin Sama

    I’m sorry but I was promised Cute Pandas and I’m not seeing any Pandas. Also no invading aliens. Booooooooo!

  • August 3, 2008 at 6:22 amkatsumara

    I hope UVERworld gets an opening. D:

  • August 3, 2008 at 6:33 amRmX

    @Kaioshin Sama: Don’t forget about the dancing cat and the maid.

  • August 3, 2008 at 6:33 amtori79

    UVERworld !!??
    I just know that their new single gonna release on 11th September
    I would be happy if this song(OP?) is UVERwolrd’s

  • August 3, 2008 at 6:45 amhyniks

    sweet, still no pics of Felt :(

  • August 3, 2008 at 6:48 amDT

    That is so UVERworld, whoopee! Wang Liu Mei looks so creepy. D:

  • August 3, 2008 at 7:05 amOmni

    GP: Just for you, I’ve put up a better version and added some screenshots to the post.

  • August 3, 2008 at 7:09 amULTRA MAN

    man that was way too fast i couldn’t see what was happening

  • August 3, 2008 at 7:10 amULTRA MAN

    2x the solar furnaces 2 times the fun XD

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:07 ammangaka-chan

    Poor Alle o_0 I wanna see the other meisters bust him out now. XD And what the heck is Louise doing in a Gundam? Or GN-X, or whatever it is she’s piloting?! D: Whatever it is I don’t think that’s gonna sit well with Saji to know Louise is piloting a war machine.

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:13 amnobody important

    Anyone taking bets on whether Patrick dies this time lol :D

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:29 amTubbygaijin

    Are those foldy wings on the ‘Tlomey? wonder if we’re going to see atmospheric action this time?!

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:34 amomegadir

    Cool trailer, but so fast, what I can see lots of things, Somebody know where I can download it or how save it on my competer?

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:41 amfinderskeepers

    seems like setsuna’s mech has the blade from his old one,….the official site has spoilers :x my eyes are burned :x

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:43 amGP

    @Omni

    Thanks.

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:52 amkyoshiro21

    is that really louise? is she a pilot or maybe a miss interpretation
    and what side does she work for?

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:53 amGP

    God that pic of Saji is meh, I just see emo rage incoming. bawwwww. Does anyone even like this guy?

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:55 amUnknownVoice

    So it seems kind of obvious that the first episodes will be Setsuna picking up the crew.
    Alelujah was mostly captured by HRL, Tieria is somewhere there too.

    IMHO, the only one who I see with Setsuna at the start would be Lyle(aka the person who was testing out the new gundam post timeskip),

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:57 amGP

    @Kyoshiro21

    You have to look at the hairstyle and see, I believe it matches hers that we see after the ending of season 1.

  • August 3, 2008 at 9:13 amw123

    OMG! Romi Paku!!!!!!!!!!

  • August 3, 2008 at 9:29 amFX102

    So psyched!! Song sounds pretty good too, I was hoping for a slightly more upbeat song this time round. The other two OP’s were great too, though I personally think the second ED song was the best.

    I will admit the introduction of 4 new Gundams seems a bit over-kill, don’t want it to feel like the Seed generation by having a huge amount of Gundams. I guess when Gunpla rake in the profits this is the way to go, time to preorder some more HCM-pro’s (and a new set of shelves for that matter).

  • August 3, 2008 at 9:31 amyUkishin

    kyaaaa..its here!!!!!!!!!!weeeeeh….im sooo excited..^^

  • August 3, 2008 at 9:35 amGP

    @FX102 well the other ones got trashed so you gotta get new ones you know. Besides compared to SeeD the gundams without trans-am on (which only lasts for 20sec) are pretty even now that everyone has those clone GN drives.

  • August 3, 2008 at 9:36 amUnknownVoice

    @FX102

    Count them as the same. Its just the improved versions of the old ones, with the same GN Drives.

  • August 3, 2008 at 9:53 amKanako

    is that uverworld? damn looks like there will be a crazy OP again!

  • August 3, 2008 at 10:31 amShinn Agami

    @w123

    I thought so too, so her character is “Regene Regetta” right?

  • August 3, 2008 at 10:36 amSyaoran Li

    This is madness, this is GUNDAM 00!!

    Did I see Marina on that commercial as well? Damn it, even Louise is a mobile suit pilot, what’s wrong with this world kukuku.

    Damn it, two months for that… shut!

  • August 3, 2008 at 10:43 ammangaka-chan

    @ UnknownVoice

    It’s been confirmed that Tieria had been picked up by Celestial Being after the battle with the UN and that he took part in rebuilding the Gundams so he’s not on the rescue list. I do think Setsuna will be busting Alle out of the HRL in the first episode though (me thinks the clips are all from the first episode of S2). As for the new Lockon, the reason we don’t see him in the trailer might be he’s not recruited yet. What better way to create drama later on than to have Lyle!Lockon walk into the room with everyone assembled there. Just imagine their reactions.

  • August 3, 2008 at 10:56 amUnknownVoice

    @mangaka-chan
    Well the one thing about recruiting Lockon – Assuming Lyle is Civilian, they should have already recruited him at least 3 years ago or so.

    00 so far was quite realistic and I just can’t see Lyle learning how to pilot in ~days/months.

  • August 3, 2008 at 11:03 amabe

    The thing that has me exited the most is the fact that the Earth Federation still uses old mobile suits (Tierens), so that means we won’t be seeing only those ugly fake-GN mechs from the end, and we might even see an upgraded GN FLAG.

    FUCK YEAH GRAHAM!

  • August 3, 2008 at 11:36 amRandom Rasta

    Man it is Uverworld and the small bit that they showed sounds pretty good. Can’t wait for the second season to actually start. And also…why no pink hair anymore Feldt?

  • August 3, 2008 at 11:38 ammangaka-chan

    @UnknownVoice

    I do think Lyle would’ve been trained for a while before the second season started (he might even have been trained all along as a backup for Neil since season 1 as some people have speculated). But Lyle probably doesn’t need to show himself so early when the 00 Gundam can do the job of retrieving Alle. And I think by showing up earlier (i.e. before Setsuna goes out on Alle’s rescue mission) his presence might’ve been considered a negative distraction for Setsuna. When everyone’s reunited and it’s time to get down to their real objective, then he shows himself.

  • August 3, 2008 at 12:00 pmFireChick

    WHAT THE FLIP!?

    http://randomc.net/image/Gundam%2000/Gundam%2000%20S2%20-%20CM2%20-%20Large%2004.jpg

    Allelujah better NOT be in a mental institution!! I don’t want him to suffer that fate like that institution scene from the movie version of The Memory Keeper’s Daughter (I watched the movie and read the book. Both were great)! My sweet Allelujah! I’m glad Mr. Creepy (Hallelujah)’s gone!

  • August 3, 2008 at 12:24 pmSadiki

    Exia is using two GN drives in that trailer, this is going to be interesting.

  • August 3, 2008 at 12:27 pmJoeDX

    Oh man, this is gonna be amazing!!! Can’t wait to see the 00 in action!

  • August 3, 2008 at 12:46 pmUnknownVoice

    @Sadiki

    1. Its not Exia. Its 00.
    2. We do not see the Gn drives – its only the Exhaustion cones, used to release the particles as well as fly.

  • August 3, 2008 at 2:34 pmZeruk

    I cant wait for season 2 and i think it really is UVERworld singing!! ^ ,^

  • August 3, 2008 at 2:36 pmZeruk

    red gnx

  • August 3, 2008 at 2:36 pmAsh

    This is some amusing song. It fits the series like a death metal theme in a south African tribal song. Very disappointed. I hoped the third one would continue the climatic opening line but instead we got some uverworld bleach-like pseudo song. A real letdown…

  • August 3, 2008 at 2:41 pm

    i think that red gnx will be fighting setsuna while in a tieren space type

  • August 3, 2008 at 3:51 pmStray

    that pic of Allelujah reminds me of Hannibal Lector

  • August 3, 2008 at 4:15 pmChimasternmay

    That shit was faster then the speed of bullet, lol i tried to pause at every frame, but too fast..

  • August 3, 2008 at 5:48 pmLlednar Twem

    I find myself losing braincells whenever I read more than one page of comments..

    Yeah, I’m pretty excited about it too. I mean, I enjoyed the first one. I hated Seed and Seed Destiny, so 00 was pretty new for me and hopefully the second part will have me enjoying it as much as I did the first.

  • August 3, 2008 at 6:09 pmZero-Sama

    when i saw it i thought it was gundam wing

  • August 3, 2008 at 6:54 pmKalulu

    Awesome,I know it’s going to be good.~
    I wonder what the writers have in store for us?Things look like they’ve certainly turned up a notch.
    I agree with you Omni that Gundam 00 should make the loss of R2 easier to handle come October. ;-;

  • August 3, 2008 at 7:25 pmgeorge from the empire of the rising sun

    WHOA for the trailer:

    Wait, how can Louise be a pilot since she lost her hand in Season 1?
    http://randomc.net/image/Gundam%2000/Gundam%2000%20S2%20-%20CM2%20-%20Large%2001.jpg

    Is it just me or that Allelujah’s straitjacket looks like C.C.’s straitjacket
    http://randomc.net/image/Gundam%2000/Gundam%2000%20S2%20-%20CM2%20-%20Large%2004.jpg

  • August 3, 2008 at 7:52 pmFalryu

    Louise a pilot! Yes I nailed it! Even though I was joking when I said she was going to become a pilot. This is going to lead to a lot of conflict between louise and saji. What I want to see now is….Louise’s mobile suit! Finally another female pilot. I get bored of the gundam pilots always being guys.

  • August 3, 2008 at 7:53 pminvAZN

    @ George
    Um, maybe she got some sort of prosthetic arm? Y’know, with nerve attachments and stuff. Since they can’t regrow her arm/hand IIRC.

    Also, the jackets do look similar. But Allelujah looks normal being in it, whereas C.C. is way too hawt for that.

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:04 pmLord Octane

    IT’S GOING TO BLOW.

    Everything from $unrise/Bancolding$ will from now on.

    Ignore them. Even GONZO can do much better than this.

  • August 3, 2008 at 8:32 pmDango

    Definately uverworld

  • August 3, 2008 at 10:20 pmRina

    That is definitely UVERworld. As a die hard fan I know for sure :P YEA~~ and OMG that’s Paku Romi doing the narrations!!!

    Can’t October come any sooner?

  • August 3, 2008 at 11:25 pmBrandon

    I CANT WAIT!
    whats with the new Ptolemaios??? that thing is HUGE!
    I still haven’t seen the new Gundams, trying to avoid them online untill the episodes come out. I want to see Graham and Nina in action again! Oh and the Kryios wasn’t destroyed so hopefully a version of it will be back.

    btw i though the song was good, i dont know what the fuss is all about. haha

  • August 3, 2008 at 11:49 pmTokki

    It happened all so fast I couldn’t even catch all the things you did.

  • August 3, 2008 at 11:59 pmAnotherGeek

    15 seconds of madness. I just move it frame by frame to catch everything :>

  • August 4, 2008 at 2:22 amSue

    omg im so excited now for this new season but poor Allelujah! i wonder whats going to happen ooo!! ><

  • August 4, 2008 at 4:37 amJafriZain

    YES!! finally!! i told you guys already!! i owed you guys one….

  • August 4, 2008 at 6:48 amRath

    Definetely looking forwards to this. Awesome!

  • August 4, 2008 at 9:42 amluches

    toooooo short..I just closed my eyes and then opened and it was finished -_-
    anyway,there seems too be lots of actions and Gundam series have always one of my fav animes.
    and I also agree about that R2 thing.hope It makes up atleast abit for the days without R2.I seriously doubt we can expect a masterpiece like CG till the next few years.

  • August 4, 2008 at 3:11 pmBrandon

    Does anyone else see the (RED?) GN-X in the first second frame????
    it has the 4 eyes like the X but idk??

  • August 4, 2008 at 3:56 pmnobody important

    If Louise becomes a MS pilot for the military, perhaps a Louise vs Nena showdown will happen at some point in the story.

  • August 4, 2008 at 4:44 pmSansNom01

    For some reason, I keep thinking that that brown hair dude in 00:07 (try your luck XD) is Lockon’s (sorry don’t know the RN) twin bro. Just some guess.

  • August 5, 2008 at 9:43 amRu

    @SansNom01: NOpi that’s Saji how could you confuse them? XD

    nee a question is the second pilot (the one after “Loise” Regene? o.O

    … and it is just my Imagination or does the Red Tierien at the begining have a Fake-GN drive? *drools about GN-Tieries*

  • August 5, 2008 at 8:31 pmDisillusion

    @Lord Octane

    Could you stop moaning already and just see how the show is 2 months later. Honestly, the nerve of some people. Anyways… I told you Allelujah would live! I told you all… that scene has significance way way back in the last episode of Gundam 00.
