Gundam 00

Thanks to my bro, I am now addicted back to Gundams. Why? Cause my bro brought me to this gundam warehouse sale in Cheras. He was searching for this so called "rare" gundam model. While I was there, I looked through the latest models from the latest series and I actually bought one model just because it looks cool. So once I reached home my bro told me to watch the latest gundam show la (came out last year), Gundam 00. Currently watching the first season. Yup, there are 2 seasons and a movie is planned for next year. WOOHOO.

The series is set in 2307 AD. As a result of the depletion of fossil fuels, humanity had to search for a new source of power. The power was found in the form of massive arrays of solar power collectors orbiting the Earth, and supported by three orbital elevators, each one serving one of the three "power blocs" on the planet, namely UNION, controlling the region surrounding North America, Human Reform League consisting of China, Russia and India, and AEU, which controls mainland Europe.

With this nearly inexhaustible source of energy benefiting only the major powers and their allies, constant warfare erupts around the globe among minor countries for fuels and energy. Countries that once economically relied on the sale of fossil fuels have plunged into poverty.

This chaos led to the formation of a private military organization, called Celestial Being, dedicated to eradicating war and uniting humanity through the use of four humanoid machines called Gundams.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 follows four mobile suit pilots termed Gundam Meisters, sided with Celestial Being.

Summary :

So basically, the world is at war with each other to gain control of the main resource which is the sun's power. The main objective of the Celestial Being which consists of the Gundam pilots is to end this war by armed intervention. That means they stop people from fighting la by defeating both sides if needed. XD This show is just awesome because it involves politics, politics, politics and oh yeah politics. HAHA. Just kidding, there are politics but luckily there are also sufficient fight scenes(and might I say there are DAMN GOOD ONES) and of course a very very good story line. It's all twists and turns. Alot of people died. No funny2 stuffs here. Its like a drama. Probably one of the best gundam series so far. :D
