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 [...]
What a massive disappointment! This episode pretty much mirrors the final stages of the first series, with a few minor tweaks. Once again, we have Kira and Athrun in Meteors trying to save the day, Dearka and Yzak helping them out, Mwu blocking the enemy ships’s main cannon to save the Archangel, Kira [...]
Not much in terms of plot advancement actually occurs in these two eps, so I have grouped them together. Ep 47 is a look at Meer’s past, which apparently consists of almost all recaps. Kira and company find Meer’s computer disk with her diary on it, and they eagerly dig into her not-so-sordid [...]
Massive space battles are good and all, but GSD finally got another much-needed civilian episode. The ZAFTers make only a perfunctory appearance at the beginning, with Luna pulling her Suzuka moves on Shinn, while Rey maintains his scowling demeanor. Meanwhile, the Archangel lands on the Copernicus moon base, and the young’uns ostensibly go [...]
ZAFT’s massive space force launches an all-out attack on the EAF’s moon forces in an attempt to prevent their superweapon from being fired again. The Minerva is called to the front lines to assault the moon base, and our intrepid trio of crimson-clad pilots take center stage once again. In a vaguely Star-Wars-esque [...]
Well, looks like ZAFT has run out of last minute saves this time. What goes around comes around, and this time the coordinators are on the receiving end of Earth’s new superweapon - a death ray that can be redirected via a series of funnels strategically placed for maximum coverage. Though Jibril’s weapon [...]
Lots of mecha action packed in here, as Kira takes on both Shinn and Rey with limited success until Athrun comes off the bench to tip the scale heavily in Team Archangel’s favor, scoring massive shounen points in only a few minutes’ playing time. I love how Kira is sorta snoozing while Shinn goes [...]
I was hoping that Cagalli would put up a good fight after 41 episodes of being a lame duck, but alas it was not meant to be. Shinn handily whoops her in spite of her special reflective coating, via the power of stock footage. Naturally, Kira returns from space just in time to [...]
I don’t usually pimp out my drawings, but the insidious truth about the dangers of going SEED must be spread!
Yet another action packed, but somewhat predictable episode. Lacus’s crew has gotten ahold of an old notebook detailing Dullindal’s “Destiny Plan”, but in the process their hiding spot is discovered by ZAFT forces. As the uber pink flagship Eternal makes its escape towards Earth, Andrew staves off the ZAFT mooks in his pimpin’ [...]
Not too much plot development in this episode, but a whole buttload of action. Dullindal has united the Earth factions against Blue Cosmos, and brings a massive army to Heaven’s Base, the Cosmos headquarters, to demand their surrender. Jibril and his old fogies are quivering in their boots deep within the confines of [...]
Many have been saying this episode is the Seed version of Revenge of the Sith, and with good reason. As Rey and Shinn approach Athrun’s Gouf with orders to take no prisoners, Athrun tries to convince Shinn that the chairman has been misleading them all. Utilizing the Gouf’s whip, he manages to knock [...]
The chairman presents Shinn and Athrun with their new superpowered gundams (just like in the first GS…sigh…), the titular Destiny and the Providence-look-alike Legend. Dullindal totally sweet talks Shinn, praising him for his recent accomplishments, and Shinn totally eats it up, like the military dog that he is. He’s starting to get this [...]
