Not the end of Gundam 00....again...

Gundam 00 S2 25! the end. This pretty much ended the way you'd expect a show with an upcoming movie would end; *spoilers* no body of the bad guy. The only surprise is that Patrick gets his happy end with Kati. That was sort of sweet. I'm amused that the new president of the Earth is somewhat-Hillary just as I was amused that the former president was somewhat-Obama. The second season wasn't the week-to-week excitement that the first season was. The Innovators were just crap as great evils. The very last scenes featured 'Where's Waldo'-like scenes where you can spot Innovator in the crowd, so I'm sure we'll see more of them in the movie. I wonder if Tiera's body will heal by the time the movie comes out. I gave the first season a 9/10, but the second season gets a ~7/10 rating~ for the bland development of Graham and the whole 'Innovators' concept. I'm also surprised that Marina traveled to space, but did nothing during the final battle (not that I wanted her to do anything).

Does he get the girl?

Skip Beat 25! the end. Ren is enlightened, but we don't really know what he'll do about anything since well, this is the last episode. Kyoko kinda wraps things up with a generic, 'I am looking forward to Ren's performance and I, too, feel like a new person' - kinda speech. It's been a cute ride. Kyoko's internal monologues set her apart from other shoujo heroines. Marina Inoue did a pretty awesome job at Kyoko. She also voices Kana from Minami-ke. Despite the old-fashioned look to the anime, it was entertaining and quite faithful to the manga. This episode ends right before Ren wows everyone with his acting skills. It's probably good they stopped there. It was pretty 'corn'y in the manga. ~8/10 rating~ for the series. I'd probably watch another season should they decide to make one.
