Gundam 00 Unaired Epilogue
Just like Starz Edge did to Black Lagoon & what Adult Swim did to Eureka 7 before that, Sci-Fi decided not to serve the ending to Gundam 00 justice when the final episode aired yesterday. While not exactly cutting out the epilogue completely, they might as well have. Their AniMonday block usually shows commercials during the ending credits by scrunching the closing sequence off to to the side, muting the sound so only their commercials can be heard, & speeding them up to about 3x the speed so they're over with quicker.
Now of course, the final episode of Gundam 00's first season had a very special ending sequence. Instead of just ending credits, a special epilogue takes place with some very important plot information that helps close the first season & starts to set up the second season. So did Sci-Fi give this ep an exception to their rule & let it run fully? Nope, they scrunched, muted, & sped it up per usual. Way to go, Sci-Fi.
BUT, for your viewing pleasure, I've uploaded a fansubbed version of the final episode epilogue to YouTube. So now you can see what happened proper, & you can get ready for Gundam 00 Second Season. Well, whenever Bandai decides to license it anyway. & speaking of the second season, make sure to check out this very important preview for it below:
