Vaisaga, no-one here is anyone's comrade.
Just because I'm not willing to argue with you doesn't mean I concede defeat. Simply put, I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince you when you have proven time and time again to be so steadfast in your hilariously incorrect beliefs. Though I will grant you that Zeta had a memorable climax; Super Saiyan robots FTW.
How lazy are you? You know very well that the list of series that I've seen is but a click away. But anyway, SEED (and not its sequel), War in the Pocket, and the first season of 00. Maybe Unicorn as well if it pulls itself back together.
Did you see that link I posted before? Did you see how utterly mind-bogglingly stupid that was? Yes?
I heard things about the ending and how it was supposed to be legendarily awful. You've just confirmed it.
Yes, that was another thing. Women in AGE existed only to be breeding stock for the heroes. It was sickening. |

Man, you just can't let yourself have fun, can you? This is like your objection to Horizon. No ability to acknowledge that things that are absurd can still tell compelling stories. MY FIST BURNS A FIERY RED. IT CALLS OUT FOR ME TO GRASP VICTORY! BAKUNETSU! GOOODDDOOOO FIIIINNGGAAAAAA!!!! |

You really need to read my list of Anime. I rated FLCL as Masterpiece as it's incredibly well written and I absolutely loved it. Come back when you're ready to make a coherent argument that isn't just blindly attacking me. |

Just as soon as you address the position I raised re:Horizon in the previous discussion in a way that is intellectually honest and doesn't just boil down to "HOW DARE YOU USE LORD OF THE RINGS AS A COMPARISON YOU TERRIBLE PERSON" |

No, I'm not going to humour you by talking about Horizon in the middle of a Gundam thread. Find someone else to be your derailment monkey. And we already did the Horizon argument, remember? Hmm, I wonder what the outcome of that was? So just leave that topic alone.

This computer of mine glows with an awesome power!! The repeated raging comments tell me to be like them!! Take this, my reply, my comment and all of my love!! I almost lost it! Well, about SEED Destiny it seems people forgot there are many shows that have multiple main characters like Basilisk to show a neutral point of view regarding a conflict. Regarding the three most featured this is what I have to say: Athrun Zala: The first main character in Destiny since Shinn isn't introduced until episode 8. He is still trying to understand things from the previous war like his father's wishes (he isn't repeating, he is still searching for his answer). This forces him to fight again but starts growing lots of doubts when the Archangel is involved. He is the most featured character in Destiny, making him the protagonist from the movies and the manga The Edge. Shinn Asuka: Represents the issues of the next generation but unlike the typical angry guys, Shinn discusses politics and is disgusted by countries going against their word at the cost of civilians (espcially since Orb takes part in the war). While he has noble intentions after Athrun's "betrayal" he is manipulated by Durandal to work for him representing Durandal's Destiny plan (and how he censors info to make Shinn look like the main hero just like Sunrise). Still, I enjoy tragic heroes as long as their reasons make sense. Kira Yamato: The returning reclutant warrior. Unlike in SEED, Kira is fully committed to fight especially to support Cagalli. Since the Archangel unofficially joins Orb, Kira is called a hypocrite for trying to reduce Orb's casualties while fighting both ZAFT and Earth Alliance. Still, Kira never loses his mind which I liked a lot as he reminded of Quattro from Zeta who was my favorite character from the entire UC (Char in the movie never happened!). He isn't necessarily the hero as he is often assisted by others. And this is one of the main reasons I enjoyed Destiny. Three main characters with different motivations and roles. I'll leave it like this before my hand breaks. Last edited by sainta on Fri Nov 16, 2012 8:39 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Yes, and I disagree with Key, so I don't see why bringing that up is relevant at all. |

What you mean it's quickly becoming about which Gundam series is "teh worst" until people have named literally every series in the franchise and just completely shat all over it and each other? Yeah it's basically why I consider the Gundam fandom largely insufferable at this point even though I'm about as big a fan of Gundam as one can be myself. The thing is though I actually enjoy it and talking about the various stories and why I appreciate them as opposed to just sitting around having these utterly banal discussions comparing them against each other and insulting each others taste in anime. It's really no wonder why Gundam is basically dead in North America now when you look at what the people over here appear to focus on and how they treat each other. As for the announcement itself, I'm of two minds. One is that I really just didn't get much out of Gundam Seed Destiny at all and found it to have the most legitimate production issues of any Gundam series produced to date. Not issues of butthurt and lacking realism, but legitimate production issues like stock footage, shoddy re-characterization of cast members from the original that did them no favors and some pretty week battle sequences on average that would bring down just about any action oriented show. The other side though sees this as an opportunity for the Sunrise of today that I see as one of those companies that puts a lot of effort into the production side of shows getting a chance to go back and fix one of their biggest production flops of the past decade and maybe make the story flow a little better. It wouldn't take a complete rewrite, just better care and pacing during key portions of the story as well as some touch ups during the battle sequences.

Shinn was introduced in the first scene of episode one, and got plenty of screentime in the early episodes. Athrun did find his answer in the first war; fighting to protect civilians from being conquered and destroyed.
The hell? Gundam is dead here because of Bandai, not because of bickering fans. |

Have you seen Destiny? Yes they replaced Kira, fairly likeable with Shin, a b*t*h. - He somehow blames Kira for all his and the worlds problems, and even makes emo characters embrassed. - He never performs any feats the entire show, usually screwing up or putting on a sorry battle performance, yet people act like he is the greatest pilot of all time (in universe, not by the fans mind you) - He never really grows up, and finally the creators of the series realized no one liked him so they switched back to the main characters who people liked in the first place - Shin is far from the only poor character, every character is this series is tears of blood inducing - You went from decent female leads like Cagalli and Lacus, to Meer and Stella , and I forgot the others they were so memorable - the blond kid, aka the athrun to shin's kira, wow this was a terrible character - the villains are so bad, the dude with purple lipstick and Duradel; you cant even compare them to the psychopathic Azarel, the charming but flawed La Reu Crest, and the militaristic chairman Zala - did we mention the old characters, they took a level in weak sauce, Athrun and Cagalli were the most prominent characters shown till the end, and they seriously were shells of their Seed selves The show is bad, and people have valid gripes and if you wont except those gripes there is nothing anyone can say because you wont listen to reason. Oh and the destiny plan is one of the worst ideas ever, right up there with Madara's moon plan. |

Gundam is dead here in reality because Bandai mismanaged it's assets and had to pull out yes, but really it's been dead in spirit for much longer because of people who act like you have in this thread. People who appear to have no real appreciation for the franchise that I can see yet insist on acting like bullies in online discussions and have literally the stupidest most self-important unbudging, immature and non-productive arguments about why x series sucks more than z series (never why y series is good and/or poor in it's own right or anything productive like that) that drive others who might be curious about it away in disgust and confusion. It's atrocious and unbecoming of anything that I would describe as a healthy fandom, yet it's so common nowadays that it's what I expect to see any time there's a discussion about Gundam on a forum. To be quite honest If I hadn't been so fortunate as to get into Gundam long before people like you on the internet ever ruined the fun of it for everyone that just wanted to have a good time and enjoy the good with the not so good and make up their own damn minds without being fed this absolutest BS I'd have certainly said to hell with that mess much like many people I know and never have gotten in to it. I am very fortunate in that regard indeed. Last edited by Kaioshin_Sama on Fri Nov 16, 2012 9:05 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Didn't Athrun tell Kira in the first episodes of Destiny that he still did not find his answer (I think it's when he visits the orphanage)? If I remember in SEED it was more personal as he could not stand his father's wish involving genocide on the Naturals and Kira didn't get his answer until the last seconds of his fight against Rau. But yeah, the first time I watched Destiny I felt it was more about Athrun's role than Shinn who got more development around the time Athrun goes to ZAFT. |

In my opinion, SEED was great and Destiny was pretty damn similar. I loved how Kira spent the whole of SEED crying like a baby and then became a complete bad-ass in Destiny!
I just hope that these "remasters" are re-scans instead of upscales, and that their Blu-Rays aren't cropped for widescreen as well. The only decently cropped anime I've seen is DBK... |

@Kaioshin_Sama:
"Dead in spirit"? What sort of garbage are you peddling today? There were plenty of people willing to fork out for Turn A; I know I was. Last edited by dtm42 on Fri Nov 16, 2012 9:36 pm; edited 1 time in total |
