Indeed. OO Gundam is the first fourth generation Gundam (O was first, there were several seconds in the manga that showed the progression from O to the four from season 1, Exia->Sevaree are all third, that's the official stance at least. But Sevaree seems on a completely different level from Virtue. It just seems goo gobs more efficient and powerful and makes me want to believe it doesn't belong in the same line as its predecessors, but we haven't really seen enough to be sure that it's a paradigm shift from it's predecessor.

In other news the Gundamgasm I got from OO was one of the better mid series suit debuts I've seen. It almost rivaled my Wing Zero gundamgasm, maybe even scratched the Strike Freedom one as well.

In non mecha-related news, major bummer for Billy indeed, who knows how much of his money she drank away only to up and leave without a word. As much as it won't make much sense i can only hope she becomes a better character this season with less brooding and drinking and more swimsuiting and bending over.

Lockon 2 seems kind of predictable so far, but it'll be interesting to see how his relationships with the characters who had feelings for the original Lockon develop. And of course his double agent status might come in handy. I'd love to see a Kataron produced Franken Gundam or something.
