Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (機動戦士ガンダム00 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 Kenji Kawai. Uniquely, Gundam 00's 50 episodes were split into two 25 episode seasons, the first Gundam series to do so.
Season 1
In the year 2307 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
blocks: 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 "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 ESF Army known as the Autonomous Peace-Keeping Force,
or 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 and Twin Drive Systems,
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
is manipulating both sides of the conflict from the shadows, all the
while claiming they are carrying out Aeolia Schenberg's true plan.
