Gundam 00: Episode 19
Rating: 8.5/10
Impressions:
It’s really refreshing seeing the Gundam Meisters fight as a team, a proper one that is, and actually do a fairly good job of it. I did hope that fighting in and amongst CB would cause more of a surprise in the superpowers’ political leaders, though it seems it was somewhat anticipated at least. I continue to assert that Nena really needs to die, and her brothers are no better. But Setsuna still needs to properly step up and show that he is superior to the others. If he’s not, it kind of defeats the purpose of having a main lead, and would make the show just a little more dull than what it might be. But oh well…
This episode has a lot more character development than you would think. The fight with the Thrones bring the four Meisters together more (although I should say three, as only three are present in the battle), and provides as well as links the backstories of Setsuna and Lockon. While at this point in time, many other characters seem rather insignificant, the Meisters are getting some well-needed development—and I hope this continues for a bit as well. Saji continues to get his fair share of useless screen time, though now it seems like he may actually become part of something big. I’m more interested in Alejandro and the possible influences he may have.

Haven’t been following this series since the 3rd episode, but I’m very curious — to the point of welcoming spoilers — what that shining light in the chest of the gundam does. Has its secret been revealed yet?
I see Saji as the civilian point of view of the war, so his appearence in the series ain’t really useless.
If Saji became a meister he wouldn’t have to change his name.
Sunrise has really set it up so it can go big in any direction.
