Hi everone! In this post, I want to introduce you one of my favorite Japanese Anime, the Mobile Suits Gundam 00.　It is one of series of the Mobile Suits Gundam, popular anime in Japan made by Sunrise which is one of the most famous anime companies in Japan, and it is categorized as a Robot animation. It is broadcast 2007 through 2009, and it has 50 episodes. Because anime become popular, the movie of it was released on September 18^th, 2010, and it was a commercial success at the box office.

 The story focuses on the war and peace. There are three large countries that try to monopolize a territory and resources, and there always are many conflicts between these three countries. The central hero belongs to the organization called Celestial Being. He tries to destroy the war with his coworkers using Mobile suits called Gundam that are humanoid robots and change the world. Their action to attack the war is controversial because terrorists. The main theme is how people understand each other to achieve peace. One reason why I love this anime is that characters grow or change through the story; for instance, Graham Aker who is enemy of the central character and ace pilot in the military lost their close two coworkers in the story, and decided to take revenge. He tries to kill heroes again and again; however, finally, he realizes that taking revenge is wrong and dies to protect human. I like him because in the story he behaves selfishly to achieve his revenge, but he can realize his mistake. He taught me that human do their life over again even if they make a mistake. Like him, other characters have problems individually, but they overcome troubles through the story. 

Another reason why I like this anime is that quality of animation is very high because it was made recently. Robots are drawn elaborately and move as if they are really human.  Since action scenes are really powerful and fast, audiences are very excited. Especially, action scene in the movie is the best I have ever seen.  In addition, the music really matches the anime. An orchestra is used to heat up the anime. For these reasons, I love the Mobile Suits Gundam 00. If someone is interested in it, please let me know because I can help you find English version of it. Thank you for reading.
