Gundam 00 Series 2 – CM3

 

Another new Gundam 00 commercial aired after today’s episode of CODE GEASS R2. This one is accompanied by a new Ishikawa Chiaki song titled Prototype, and it features Lockon, Sumeragi, Louise looking like she’s going to throw up, Felt, a short-haired (and rather plain/boring looking) Saji, and a creepy shot of a damaged Exia in battle. It’s interesting stuff, but I liked the fast-paced commercial that debuted three weeks ago a bit more. Of course, that probably has as much to do with the songs accompanying these commercials as anything else, and I definitely prefer the UVERworld one. I would guess that that’s going to be the new OP whereas Prototype will likely be the new ED.

The Daily Dose

  • If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t written one of these posts in about three weeks, it’s because I’ve been in the middle of a move and haven’t had much time to do anything extra over the shows I’m blogging regularly. Things haven’t quite settled down yet, so my schedule’s still in a bit of a flux, but I didn’t want to put this off any further since there’s so many new series announcements, PVs, etc piling up. Unfortunately all this also means that I won’t have time to continue keeping up with Tetsuwan Birdy like I wanted to, so I had to drop that.
