Not even close. It's sold/shipped over 1 million DVDs as of 2006 in Japan. |

No, Gundam Seed Destiny is in fact the best selling Gundam series of the last 15 years. By a ridiculous amount. |

Please stop making Destiny out to be marginally worse than SEED and stop generalizing ALL the CE era Gundams. Watch Astray, watch Stargazer. Not to mention, the first SEED is pretty good. It's better than that ZZ horseshit and F91. It's also better than that overrated piece of shit known as 0083, which has horrible voice acting and plot and characters. It's also better than that wannabe UC/Wing rip off known as Gundam 00. |

Worst? Maybe Turn A, Age. I don't know. Possibly Age. 00 is not a rip-off of Wing. Do people not understand what rip-off means or do they just automatically go "OMG PRETTY BOYS PILOTING GUNDAMS ON A TEAM! MUST BE WING". Even though: In Wing they weren't a team until the end. Seed has pretty boys. The tone of both show's is completely different. The point of each show's plot is different. SIMILARITIES IN GUNDAM SHOWS IMPOSSIBLE! And then it's quite funny to accuse 00 of being a ripoff and implying it's bad because of it while praising Seed. Even more funny to accuse of it being a UC rip-off in the same sentence of Seed. |

whoa, whoa, whoa, bro.
0083 is the most realistic gundam show ever made. there are no amazing psychic pilots going around. maybe I got confused and heard destiny was the worst performing american gundam series. I thought most people considered gundam seed the better one. |

Maybe he means from the physics and motions, which likely true since 0083 has some of the best mecha animation in the entire metaseries. If you're talking story and characters, only 0080 has really ever worked on a realistic level.

Please. I'd almost rather watch AGE again. SEED is utterly devoid of passion. |

@walw6pK4Alo:
0083 also has one of the worst stories and casts of the metaseries. Also, nuclear explosions don't work that way (though X is also guilty of having silly explosions). Speaking about X, it has a very good cast and a pretty good story. I finished it recently and I have to say that overall, it's probably the best Gundam title I've seen. Pity about it being cancelled - it didn't deserve to be - but I thought the ending was actually alright considering. |

X is really great. Also has my all time favorite Gundam (Gundam X Divider)
Best Gundam series is still Turn-A though. |

@Rahxepon Actually, yes it is. Using violence to bring peace? Gundam W. Invincible Gundams, up until the bad guy gets better mechs? Gundam W. Annoying princess, who is redundant? Gundam W. Personalities?
Wufei=Setsuna. Both are idiots, both have poor social skills and both have unheathly obsessions. Lockon=Duo. Both are hot blooded, confident and more interesting than their respective main hero. Tieria= Heero Yuy and Trowa. All 3 have a lack of emotion, but Heero is the type of person, who cares more about the mission than his partners or himself. Like Trowa, he pilots a Heavy Assault unit, which sucks at CQC and is mainly for support. Al/Hal= Quatre. Both are overly nice, have a more psycho side and are bland. What else? Schenberg's speech ripped off Doctor J's speech on peace. Another aspect is that the characters of both series are underdeveloped. But W is about 100000X better, despite its flaws. |

Wing and 00 (season 1) have some thematic similarities, but you heavily overstate them.

And here I was wondering how long it would take until this thread degenerated into the usual.
Besides, we all know which Gundam series is the best: spoiler[The one yet to be made ; )] Anyways, I think that it's clear that Namco/Bandai currently have no interest in marketing Gundam outside of Asia. Enjoy your boxsets, people in the Philippines. |

@penguintruth
You UC fanboys are the reasons SEED fans bash the UC timeline. I used to dislike SEED too and I still do, but I also like it a lot. I have a love hate relationship with the show. You're acting like the original/Z have no flaws. Zeta fans are the worst in the fanbase. They call other overrated Gundams like W, SEED and 00 overrated, which people just accept, because it's true to an extent, but because Z's in the UC, when fans of other Gundams call Z overrated, for some reason it's odd, when Z is WAY more overrated than SEED. Z has retarded characters, like Kamille and Katz, which are even worse some SEED characters, plot holes, which make no sense, Some of the fans like AnimeOverviewer nitpick stuff like Zechs spoiler[surviving an explosion in a battleship] and Mu La Flagga, spoiler[getting engluffed in a beam of light and coming back], which is funny, because they're both spoiler[played by Takehito Koyasu], but nobody complains about Char spoiler[survived an explosion and the Hyaku Shiki still being commissioned in ZZ] |

Using violence to bring peace? Wow a theme in pretty much every Gundam show. Except Wing uses this theme romantically and is more emotional in how it deals with it's themes. 00 takes this very common war theme(GUNDAM IS ABOUT WAR) and spins a post 9/11 spin on it. If your claiming that having a similar theme makes them a rip-off, is very Gundam show a rip-off because they all have similar themes? Invincible Gundams? So like every Gundam show? How is this a rip-off? A rip-off is when you are stealing actual plot lines and characters. This isn't a rip-off, this is a Gundam thing. And even then the Gundams in 00 are actually probably the most realistic Gundam has seen in the AUs. They can be defeated by numbers, planning or skilled enemy pilots. Is Seed a rip-off of Gundam because those Gundams are overly powerful? Or is Wing a rip-off of G Gundam now? Annoying Princess? Well is Lacus a rip-off? She's as annoying as Releana.
Do you go "OMG these two shows both have a character that is in a high school and likes a cute girl OMG rop-off!"
I mean whats your point here? They are rip-offs how? You can't even get your point straight. Tieria is a rip-off of two different characters because hi pilots a support Gundam, in a franchisee that has support mobile suits all the time? What? Where all the Gundam's in 00 supposed to do the same thing? The mere fact of having an artillery Gundam makes it a rip-off? What does that even mean?
Well I don't know, seems kind of.......................................................................stupid. And I'll disagree with you, because first you don't even seem to understand the characters. No I don't think they were underdeveloped. No they were explored as well as possible? What do you want? I mean all you are describing small simularites, you might as well say "hey both these characters have black hair and pilot a Gundam so it's a rip off". I mean where in 00 is the conflict about the merits of the Battlefield? Where does 00 deal with the question of do we lose the effect of war if combat is not full of sacrifice? Where in Wing does it try and reflect on present day issues of the middle east or really dabble in being terrorists. These shows are completely different in there actual plot lines. I mean Jesus Christ. This is GUNDAM. They all have similarites Gundam has it's own troupes that every show uses and puts it's spin on. Thats what franchises do. Do you claim each James Bond is a rip-off because they have a similar villain up to similar things? No people just say "hey this one is using a familiar element of the series". |
