Agreed.
I am
prepared for Gundam 00 to be different:
- Seed was scripted around the time when the debate on cloning and genetics manipulation was at it's strongest. It's a debate that is still raging but doesn't have the same impact as it did in the early years of this decade. When I think of Seed, I think of this snippet in one of the last episodes when you hear a man yelling at his wife for having a miscarriage since the fetus "cost" them so much and this other scene when you can hear a woman complaining her child doesn't have the hair and eye color she had selected before the pregnancy... Meanwhile...
- Gundam 00 was scripted around the time when the debate on energy, and the wars fought around energy reserves, was/is at it's strongest. This will be the main drive of the series's overall plot. It's a good choice and a strong subject matter to script around but by it's nature I don't think it can have as much of an emotional impact as a plot centering around genetic manipulation. This is why character development is going to be critical for Gundam 00.
