Always a big fan of GUNDAM, but since the deep addiction that I got into watching GUNDAM SEED/SEED DESTINY and got hooked to buying every GUNDAM SEED/SEED DESTINY Bandai GUNPLA merchandise, I was not to enthusiatic about the new GUNDAM 00 fearing I might get hooked again. GUNDAM 00 lacks originality in the Mobile Suits with many resembling the five GUNDAMs in SEED. Nevertheless, since Gundam anime usually have cool opening scenes to attract and keep fans hyped up, I might just get interested. Most importantly the opening theme, "Daybreak's Bell" is performed by my favourite band, L'Arc~en~Ciel.

The series is set in the year 2307 AD of the Gregorian calendar. During this time, fossil fuels became exhausted and the distribution of fuels became imbalanced. Humanity must rely on an array of solar power generation systems orbiting the Earth, and supported by three orbital elevators, each one pertaining to one of the three "major powers" on the planet.
The Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations (世界経済連合, sekaikeizairengō?, abbrev. ユニオン Union, lit. World Economic Union), composed of the Organization of American States, Australasia and Japan, control the elevator located in South America. The Human Reform League (人類革新連盟, Jinrui Kakushin Renmei?, abbrev. 人革連 Jinkakuren, lit. Human Reform Alliance), composed of the formerly socialist China, Siberian Russia, the nations of South Asia (with the exception of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan), Mongolia, the member states of the ASEAN, Papua New Guinea, the Korean Peninsula, and Taiwan, control the elevator located in the Pacific Ocean. The Advanced European Union (AEU), composed of Iceland, the islands of the Barents Sea, Greenland, Anatolia and the entirety of the traditional continent of Europe, control an elevator built in the middle of the African continent.
With this infinite source of energy benefiting only the major powers and their allies, constant warfare around the globe for fuels and energy lead to the formation of a private military organization, called Celestial Being (ソレスタルビーイング, Celestial Being?), dedicated to eradicating war with the use of four humanoid machines called Gundams.
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 follows four mobile suit pilots termed Gundam Meisters ( ガンダムマイスター, Gandamu Maisutā?), sided with Celestial Being. The protagonist is 16-year old Setsuna F. Seiei (刹那・F・セイエイ, Setsuna F. Seiei?), a quiet, taciturn young man who grew up in the Kurdish Republic, and a Gundam Meister for two years. He pilots the GN-001 Gundam Exia, a high mobility mobile suit effective in melee combat.
