I agree with Transparency there. I am of the male species. And I shall stay

After watching this anime, it went, and took insane to a whole new level.
I had to re-watch the last two episodes a few times, and in high resolution, to even catch what was going on, and grasp the little speech they threw in with the anti-spirals.

This was something that an artist, and creator do to go out of their way, and make sure the anime ends with a bang... but not only that, they made it so the place of battle defied all logic, and threw in everything that viewers wanted; the enemy home planet, the earth to see the fight, the Helix King once more, and a super gigantic unbelievable robots.

To think this was once scary ending, and frankly completely out of sync with the touching deaths of their comrades just episodes earlier.

We'll agree that Gundam 00 is unrealistic & it's anime so we can understand. Some of you people might get false idea, so I'll say this after watching all 25 episodes.

The very idea of Celestial Being as an anti-war neutral entity that utilizes only the mecha robots & several space utilities & very little amount of personnel is impossible in reality (or if it exists it'd be completely useless/ineffective). Bandai just wants to sell its plastic models - as was their aim with the original Gundam and all other Gundam series.

We can list thousands of technical reasons why CB wouldn't work or would but here's a very simple one that precedes all others - countries have the right to have war as an option in case it is threatened - not only by military means but also economical, ideological, security, etc.

In other words, if CB succeeded & intervened in all conflicts & Celestial Being became the norm, the countries would change their strategies. They would start attacking each other not through military means but economical, etc. They could make back-room deals & make trade, tech research alliances & isolate specific competing & neighboring countries economically & even technologically. And the victims of such systems wouldn't be able to war in retaliation & they, outnumbered & far too weak themselves to do anything, would remain as victims.

Also, war doesn't have to be just the official militaries of the countries, they could be through the cyber space, terrorism, etc. And definitely Celestial Being cannot prevent those - they simply lack the large number of personnel required.

Gundam 00 falsely assumes that wars are rooted on territorial basis - that is countries go to war to fight for some mineral mines, etc., and also with ideological backing. In fact, that assumption is at least 200 years old. With the coming of the enlightenment, modern age, international law, the information age, the global trade, and the economic laws, there is no need to fight for resources - they can be traded. And even if resources are scarce they don't have to be fought over then - they'll simply be bought at a higher price.

However most of the wars today are not fought between countries for the sake of gaining more land & resources - they're mostly fought by guerillas through terrorism, assassination, etc. well, there's some territorial gain there too but it's not territorial in the sense that a country would occupy another. And definitely there's no heavy machines like destroyers, tanks, and jets involved in those conflicts - and definitely no mecha in the future.
