Our Review
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (2007) is a anime and action series from TBS. It has built a run of 50 episodes at roughly 25 minutes each. It premiered on October 6, 2007. Viewers rate it 7.8 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 2 seasons.
What Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Is About
The year is 2307 A.D. Although fossil fuels have been depleted, humanity has obtained a new source of energy to replace them, in the form of a large-scale solar power generation system based on three huge orbital elevators. However, the benefits of this system are available only to a handful of major powers and their allies. In this world of never-ending conflict, a private armed organization appears, dedicated to the elimination of war through armed force. Its name is Celestial Being, and it is in possession of “Gundam” mobile suits.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 25 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 50 episodes, spread across 2 seasons and it leans into its anime/action roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Mamoru Miyano, Hiroshi Kamiya and Shinichiro Miki to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Mamoru Miyano, Hiroshi Kamiya, Shinichiro Miki, Hiroyuki Yoshino, Arisa Ogasawara and Ayumi Tsunematsu lead the cast.
Key roles include Mamoru Miyano as Setsuna F. Seiei; Hiroshi Kamiya as Tieria Erde; Shinichiro Miki as Lockon Stratos; Hiroyuki Yoshino as Allelujah Haptism; Arisa Ogasawara as Soma Peries.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of anime, action and science-fiction have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside TBS’s other originals, a 7.8/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2007 and carried by TBS with the series still ended, it lands hardest with anime and action viewers.
How Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Compares
If Mobile Suit Gundam 00 lands for you, the next stops are Death Note, Attack on Titan and Hunter x Hunter, which share its anime/action lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Mamoru Miyano and Hiroshi Kamiya doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its anime/action roots, It has held up since 2007 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is a safe bet for anyone already inside the anime and action lane, at 50 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.8/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.8/10. Watch it if you want anime/action you can settle into.
