{{Nihongo|'''Mobile Suit Gundam 00'''|機動戦士ガンダム{{ruby|00|ダブルオー}}|Kidō Senshi Gandamu Daburu Ō}} is the 11th installment of [[Sunrise]]'s long-running [[Gundam]] franchise. It is directed by [[Seiji Mizushima]] and written by [[Yōsuke Kuroda]], with character designs by [[Yun Kōga]] and music by [[wikipedia:Kenji Kawai|Kenji Kawai]]. Uniquely, Gundam 00's 50 episodes were split into two 25 episode seasons, the first Gundam series to do so. The English dub of Gundam 00 premiered in the United States on Syfy on November 24, 2008 with back to back episodes. The series is available to be streamed on Crunchyroll and Hulu. ==Plot== ===Season 1=== In the year 2307 [[Anno Domini]] (AD), fossil fuels have all but vanished and the distribution of energy is unbalanced. Humanity now relies on three large-scale solar power systems controlled by three multinational power blocs: the [[Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations]] (Union), the [[Human Reform League]] (HRL), and the [[Advanced European Union]] (AEU). With this nearly inexhaustible source of energy benefiting only these three powers and their allies, constant warfare erupted around the globe among minor countries for precious fuels and energy. Countries whose economy relied solely on the sale of fossil fuels were plunged into poverty and some even believed that the solar power system threatened the "promised land of God", resulting in the twenty-year-long Solar Wars. Such a chaotic reality has lead to the creation of a paramilitary organization in possession of four highly advanced humanoid mobile suits called "[[Gundam#Gundam 00|Gundams]]" and a mysterious technology known as the "[[GN Drive]]". They call themselves "'''[[Celestial Being]]'''", and their goal is nothing less than the complete eradication of war through the use of war itself. ===Season 2=== Four years have passed since the [[United Nations Forces]]' victory over [[Celestial Being]]. Humanity, having established the [[Earth Sphere Federation]], forms an independent police force separate from and with authority over the [[Earth Sphere Federation Forces]] known as the [[A-Laws]]. Given unfettered discretion, A-Laws is charged with the duties of further unifying the world's nations, enforcing the will of mankind, and disposing of resistance groups and terrorist cells as they see fit. Unknown to the general public, however, is that the A-Laws use their unchecked power as a means to oppress freedoms, doctrines, and ideologies through the use of inhumane tactics under the guises of "unity" and "world peace". Celestial Being, fully aware of the A-Laws' misuses of power, has arisen from the ashes of defeat to eradicate the A-Laws and set the world on the true path to peace once more. Armed with [[Aeolia Schenberg]]'s gifts of the [[Trans-Am System|Trans-Am]] and the [[Twin Drive System]], Celestial Being hopes to correct their past mistakes and atone for the damage caused by the A-Laws, aided by the resistance group [[Katharon]]. Unknown to both Celestial Being and the A-Laws, however, a third party calling themselves the [[Innovators (Innovade Group)|Innovators]] is manipulating both sides of the conflict from the shadows, all the while claiming they are carrying out Aeolia Schenberg's true plan. ==Protagonists== {{main|Anno Domini list of characters}} '''[[Setsuna F.

The three factions' mobile suits in season one all feature the Mono-Eye System used by every generic mobile suit in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam|Gundam 0079]]'', ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Zeta Gundam]]'', ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Gundam ZZ]]'', and ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack|Char's Counterattack]]''. Most of the technology also works exactly like their UC counterparts, most notably GN Particles working the same way that Minovski Particles do. *In one of the episodes in season one, in a scene at the JNN, one of the computers shows the classic Windows XP GUI. *In season 2, when Setsuna sees the Masurao for the first time, there is a small reference to [[Ramba Ral]]'s most memorable line from the Original series: "This is no Zaku, boy. No Zaku." The only difference is Setsuna says "That Mobile Suit is...no Flag?". *Some of the names and terminology of'' Gundam 00'' are automotive references. For example, [[Trans-Am System|Trans-Am]] is the name of an American auto racing series; it was also the name of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Firebird#Firebird_Trans_Am Pontiac Firebird's performance package]. [[GNX-603T GN-X|GN-X]] is named after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_Regal#Grand_National.2C_T-Type_and_GNX Buick Regal Grand National (GNX)]. *''Gundam 00'' makes numerous religious references throughout the series, like Celestial Being and the origins of names of the Gundams used by them, as well as certain GN-T drive equipped machines/Gundams. *''Gundam 00'' won the second place in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animage Animage's Anime Grand Prix] in 2007, behind another Sunrise's masterpiece, ''[http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion]''.

The joke proved to be extremely popular and many fans contribute to the joke unaware of its meaning. *Gundam 00 is the first Gundam series in which the eyecatch is a simple fade-in of the series logo over the episode itself, rather than a separate animation.
