This’ll be the final show I blog this season. Sorry, I love Sunrise mecha shows too much to pass it by. So basically, Buddy Complex is Gundam 00 except gay mind-melding is built into the premise from the beginning instead of tacked on in a half-assed way in the middle. Furthermore, our hero is not the leader of a terrorist organization (yet) and actually appears to have a soul unlike Setsuna F. Seiei. I like all the changes so far. It’s like Valvrave too (of course) except they’re playing this one straight.
Sunrise mecha shows generally attempt to portray the futility of war. Gundam 00 did this by creating an organization that was “above” the law and “above” the nations, which made war to end war. Of course, this was essentially a terrorist organization, and I’m not sure you can call it peace if it is maintained at the point of a sword. Our heroes were oligarchs ruling the world at the point of a gun, and we as the audience were supposed to be fully on their side. That was difficult for me.
