Gundam Seed Destiny 50 (Final)

Dear Gundam Seed Destiny,

I’m sorry to say that you severely disappointed me. It’s as if your writers forgot where they were going with the plot and decided to cop out with a predictable ending. So Gilbert just turned out to be a maniacal zealot with not one but two superweapons, and the good guys have to once again lay the smack down. Can’t you do better than that? To add insult to injury, it was Rey that finally saw the light at the end, while Shinn remained faithfully idiotic. Whoopee. The only saving grace was that Luna didn’t get killed, but at this point her character was fairly inconsequential anyways.

Your beginnings were quite promising and you really hit your stride in the middle, providing so much wonderful fodder for fanart and blogging ridicule. It’s a shame that you went out with a whimper, not to mention the incredible amount of stock footage used in the last episode. I almost thought I was watching the mid-series recap episode.

Alas, I must give you an overall rating of 3.5/5. Not horrible, but falling short of greatness.

Sincerely,

Ender

P.S. I think Talia is now my choice of most psychotic character. “I love you even though you are a genocidal maniac!” Ah, sweet young love.

    To the guy who is BObby. I’ve got footage of later on Season of the 5 Gundam Seed (limited edition). Unfortunitly for you, Shinn does die by ‘Lunamaria’. She then takes her own life. This footage is on Youtube as : The PAthetic PPL Die ALL thE TiMe. And For everyone else, Kira is alive and healthy. Shinn-san……you suck. haha, I’m in my Forties and I still hate that Sob. God I wanna kill him too. “look at me, my life is sad” Booo hooo hooo. Kira is the Man.

    dude u guys are retarded….At The end… of PLUS. It shows Lacus being the chairwoman of ZAFT. SO kira goes to ZAFT jus to be with lacus. Since Cagalli is ORB(With Earth Alliance) & Lacus is now in ZAFT. There’s not going to be any more gay ass war.

    holy crap ive been reading this and damn theres alot of shinn haters, like i can understand why u would hate him but holy crap “all he lost was his familly and stella” so in otherwords most of the people he held close in life. As far as who’s had more BS happen to them kira//shinn it all depends on what you consider worse. Kira may have all that pressure but at least he has lacus and alot of people that are like familly to him, but shin? He has his familly (dead) stella//stellar (dead)hes got lunamaria and someone at some point should give kira a ass-whoopin for killing stella and fucking up shinn’s life…besides that’d be a interesting twist lol

    It was the worst Anime iv ever seen. I was expecting something spectacular but instead they give me THIS and switch main characters to some Naive Puss who in the end saved the day. What a waste as for people saying ”Shinn sucked, he was emo. Shinn was a waste of char. Shinn could never beat Kira”
    You saw it yourself, quit acting like your blind he RAPED Kira with an Inferior Mobile Suit. As for his Emoness if your parents died too dont tell me you wouldnt go Emo hes more of a character than Kira you can say what you want but thats the T-r-u-t-h and in Seed Kira was a hell of a bigger emo than Shinn. I mean, im suprised i watched Seed with all the Emoness it had and his parents didnt die. Im done proving my point.

    But seriously though this almost made me give up Gundam, they were on the right track till they switched what were they thinking?
    Lets hope the next Gundam Anime doesnt show dissapointment as much as this did.

    I totally agree with many of you. the story just fell starting at ep 30 or so. dudinal or watever forgot how to spell, his “great conspiracy” was presented in a very sloppy way, i strongly think it can be reinforced. last but not least its the ending, its just very unorganized and the story totally fell. unlike in gundam seed, throughout the series were suprises.

    i’ve just finished watching this series and i agree that the ending is disappointing, but i do hope that Cagali and Athrun would end up together please…. I’m begging the writers please.. Meyrin seems to be a Descent girl but Cagali and Athrum have been through a lot of things and i hate to see them not ending in each others arms… plsssss…….

    THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS SHOW-I MYSELF SHALL SEE THIS “ENDING” AND DETERMINE WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS WHETER OR NOT IT’S BAD. BUT, SHINN IS JUST A WEE BIT ANNOYING BUT WITHOUT AN ANNOYING CHARACTER THERE WOULD BE NO SHOW.I SEE THAT ALOT OF DEVELOPED CHARACTERS GET LABELED “EMO”BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE CAN’T HANDLE SHOWS WITH REAL EMOTION TO THEM… IT’S A SHAME. ANNOYING BEHAVIOR IS PART OF THE DUAL NATURE OF HUMANITY – YOU SIMPLY CANNOT CONTROL OR PREDICT HOW YOUR FELLOW HUMANS WILL ACT AROUND YOU BECAUSE HUMANS POSSESS A WIDE RANGE OF EMOTIONS. ABOUT THE DIRECTORS WELL, I’M SURE THEY TRIED THEIR HARDEST TO GIVE US ALL A QUALITY PRODUCT SO, TONE DONE THE HATRED OKAY? EVERY LIVING DIRECTOR ON THIS EARTH HAS CHURNED OUT A NOT-SO-HOT-PRODUCT BUT THAT IS PART OF A DIRECTOR’S JOB… I WILL ADMIT THAT FOLLOWING STELLA’S END THINGS GOT BIZZARRE(CASE IN POINT-HOW THE SPARK OF PRIMUS DID CHAOS GUNDAM’S PILOT SURVIVE BEING CUT UP TWICE? LUCKIEST BASTARD EVER-OH HELLZ YES AND HOW DID THE NUCLEAR POWERED FREEDOM NOT KILL SHINN AND KIRA? THE EXPLOSION FROM JUSTICE ALONE FRIED GENESIS TO A CRISP..) THIS SHOW HAS STAYING POWER BECAUSE NOTHING WAS TOO EASY AND THERE WAS PLENTY OF PAIN AND SORROW TO GO AROUND…CAGALLI DISPLAYED HONEST TO GOD CONFUSION AS SHE WATCHED HER COUNTRY UNRAVEL AROUND HER A TRUE GLIMPSE OF HUMAN PAIN THAT MANY SHOWS NOW CANNOT MATCH. AS FOR KIRA, I AM FORCED TO SAY THAT HE MAY BE TOO POWERFUL-BUT EVERY SHOW NEEDS ONE GOD-LIKE CHARACTER SO LESSERS CAN HATE HIM AND DEVELOP THEIR OWN CHARACTERS TRYING TO STOP HIM ALONG THE WAY DISCOVERING WHO THEY TRULY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF-IT IS THE JOURNEY OF LIFE,LOVE,FAILURE,VICTORY,RAGE,VENGEANCE AND DISCOVERY…(BASICALLY THE MAKINGS OF A GREAT SHOW IF EXECUTED RIGHT.) SOMEONE TELL ME, WHAT IS SUPPOSEDLY SO WRONG WITH THIS SHOW?! I JUST WANNA KNOW.DON’T GIVE UP ON ANIME BECAUSE OF THIS-MANY SHOWS HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE THESE BUT THEY RECOVER AND SO LONG AS IT DOES’NT END UP LIKE HOW POKEMONIS NOW I AM PLEASED.OVERLOOK THE GIANT FLAWS AND YOU MAY SEE A BEAUTIFUL WHOLE-BUT ARE YOU WILLING TO OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK??? GAZE UPON IT AND GIVE THE SERIES A SECOND CHANCE… STOP CALLING DEVELOPED CHARACTERS “EMO”- I’D RATHER SEE AN “EMO” CHARACTER THAN A FLAT CHARACTER RUNNING AROUND DOING THE SAME (BLEEP) OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHAT IS WRONG WITH EMOTIONAL CHARACTERS? SINCE WHEN IS IT A CRIME TO CREATE CHARACTERS WHO MIRROR THE DAMAGED STATE OF THE HUMAN PSYCHE? SO SHINN SUCKS BECAUSE HE HAS EMOTION? HEHEHEH. I’M SORRY IF I SOUND SANCTIMONIOUS HERE… THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING TO MY POINT OF VIEW- GOOD DAY TO YOU ALL GOD BLESS YOU ALL. BYE BYE.

    One thing I don’t get in GSD is that the main character is so unlikable. Watching the whole thing, you don’t even know wich one is the main character. So I just decided to go with Kira because he is after all the original character. Shinn is so annoying, definitely the most annoying character I know and I would’ve love to see him die..hehe.. The ending is so bad that it’s like most of the Japanese porn I’ve seen that when the guy is about to cum, he just do it fast and only says 3 words…oh,oh,oh….. I mean come on!! no real emotions it’s simply not a climax and that’s how I see in this ending…well, all the Gundam series ending. I hope they would come up with a better ending because I’m a huge fan..

    i’ve just realized that there’s two versions of episode 50. one is really really short and abrupt, without the whole thing at the end about how kira+shin+athrun+lacus+luna+merlyn visits the graves. and the other version has that….>.< which version is the real one? so messed up….i can’t believe the shorter version just decided to CUT OUT the actual ending! like wtf?

    I’m So mad Cause i so badly wannted Athrun and Cagalli to get togeather all they got were trubles and misunderstandings, but Lacus and kira need a wedding just like Athrun and Cagalli i was hoping for some conclusion to the romance and add that they got married or somthing after all They deserve it…oh well thats my opinoin but i hate how it ended errr but from what ive heard the movie (if there is one) will have Athrun as the main character but He’ll FALL FOR Miyr errr i only wannted to see him with Cagalli after all shes not really married but shes so faithful to Athrun …but Shinn is cool just a little bit of a child that has had problems Kira is still that awsome char from SEED. <3 still bad ending…
