Gundam00 Season II

Just finished watching the 5th episode of Gundam 00 Season II. You can click here to watch it. This is the reason why I love Japanese anime. Gundam again brings back the political-related issues. Who's the enemy? Is mass massacre for political reason correct? Is killing regardless of civilians or soldiers allowed to achieve what you believed in? As a soldier, who should you obey, your superior that gives inhuman order, or your consciences? All these issues were sparked in just 1 30minutes episode! Compact with full battle action, Gundam reminds us again on the core lessons: Nothing comes out from war. War will only bring sufferings and tragedies. Human greed and thirst for power are the root of war.
Also, the Middle East conflicts is also brought up in disguise, in reversed way. In Gundam, it's the Middle East that goes the opposite way for not joining the Federation for the share in solar energy.
