Gundam 00 episode 10
Allelujah is suddenly contending with Lockon for the spot of "favorite pilot" and possibly "favorite character". I just feel incredibly sorry for him after that brutal scene with Hallelujah. Plz get therapy, sweetie. :(
Soma holy crap you're kind of badass please keep that up.
LOUISE WILL YOU PLEASE FALL OUT OF THE SERIES
YOU TOO, LIU MEI
Seriously wondering aboutVowels Tieria's gender identity now. I know we joked about him secretly being a woman in the first few episodes but now it looks like he might actually be transgendered. I am very curious.
Lockon didn't get to do anything. :( On the upside neither did Setsuna.
YOU MUST BE THIS CRAZY TO PILOT THE GUNDAM
Soma holy crap you're kind of badass please keep that up.
LOUISE WILL YOU PLEASE FALL OUT OF THE SERIES

Yeah, I just can't stand her type. She's all perky and OMGCLOTHES and "You have to do what I say and everything has to go the way I want it to because I'm CUTE and GENKI, bitch!" I like genki girls, but not entitled genki girls who are walking stereotypes (GIRLS LOEV SHOPPING!!!1!). I'm a little irritated with Christina for some of the same reasons (sho cute!!1 CLOTHES!!11) but she, at least, is well-meaning. Even if I sympathize much more with Felt's "leave me alone T_T" reaction. XD Louise? Just needs some sense smacked into her.
I like Saji, he's the kind of cute ineffectual dork that appeals to me. He does need to grow a point, though.
Setsuna doing something interesting would be fantastic. So far he's the only Meister who's not actually interesting. He got some hints there, but Lockon, Vowels, and Alle have all far outstripped him in terms of personality and interest.

I think if she was perky, it'd be one thing, but I just don't see any redeeming factors in Louise whatsoever. She seems like a pushy, spoiled brat. I keep hoping for Saji to sprout a backbone and dump her for dragging him around like that, but meh, they're young.
Christina is my age, which, holy crap. Granted, I'm currently all CLOTHES!!11 but more like I NEED TO LOOK MY AGE FOR INTERVIEWS AND SHIT, though there's a little OMGSHOPRETTY there too. Oh, and her eyes kind of freak me out. I don't know why. curselooking14andhavingnobodytakemeseriously!
Either Louise needs to start her development NOW or get out of the series. So far the segments with her and Saji bore me. I don't mind Kinue, though.
Setsuna seems to just have that same Angsty!past that Lockon and Allelujah do for now. I guess one of his points is that he's sixteen and hilariously dumb at times. Tieria's past might be a big ol' blank, but his personality is awesome.

Pushy, spoiled brat is exactly it. It's been a long time since I actively disliked a female character, but Louise has accomplished it. >_< (The CLOTHES!!!1 thing I think bothers me because it's not for a purpose, like you or me wanting to look professional for interviews - it's a very stereotypical "girls like to buy clothes!" presentation, which IRKS me.) I feel kind of alone, though, because I'm the only one of my group watching it who doesn't like her. ;_;
Kinue... that's Saji's sister, right? Yeah, I like her. I would much rather watch her and Saji play off each other than Saji and his spoiled brat of a girlfriend. XD
WHAT, SETSUNA DUMB? LOL BUT TELLING MARINA HE'S A GUNDAM MEISTER WAS A BRILLIANT IDEA!! Yeah he's pretty much a placeholder for an interesting character at this point. XD Tieria is fantastic, definitely, I love him for being such an asshole. I was kind of weirdly on the fence about him at first because the ideas I had formed about him before watching were very different from what he actually is. XD But he's grown on me a lot.

Louise is one big eyeroll. I'm still puzzled over what her role in the series is, because if it's supposed to be the normal civilians swept up in the crossfire, Saji and Kinue fill that just fine. Oh, you're not the only one who dislikes her. I know of one other person watching 00 who hates her too.
Yeah, you'd think there'd be more material for the Crossroad siblings than HAY WATCH SAJI AND LOUISE. I really, really hope they either get rid of Louise or give her some more depth (which it looks like they might do in 10, but who the hell knows, I haven't seen it yet). Give the more interesting characters some screentime. Like Patrick.
Speaking of which, Setsuna really needs to be fleshed out, because he's not too unique right now with the angsty background. He doesn't seem to do anything interesting except be...dumb (that screenshot of his Gundam looking into Marina's ship is all too funny). Though if we're only a fifth into the series, it can't be helped--maybe he'll grow more interesting in the next few eps.
Oh, Tieria. He looked like what would happen if Wufei ate Quatre and put on his clothes, but his personality seems more like Wufei anyway, without the initial raging misogyny.

Hooraaaay. We are united in our Louise-hate.
Alas, 10 basically just has Louise being a spoiled pushy brat for about a minute. As female characters go, it's all about Soma in 10. Which is fine because she and Sergei rock. Oh god, yes, Patrick needs moar screentime please. I would also very much like to see Graham and Billy come back, with their marriedness.
Setsuna's past that we know of is pretty brutal, though. I just wish he had a personality beyond PTSD OF DOOM and severe dissociation issues and being stupid. But yes, I'm holding out hope. The OP focuses on him so much, he'd BETTER do something to merit being the main character pretty soon.
Well it's not like Tieria of all people could get away with misogyny am I right.
