Gundam SEED Destiny, "The chosen future" discussion

Mindless · 12-25-2005, 01:52 PM

Well, I figured since it's out and all, and people should have watched it by now, I'd start a discussion thread.

So, what did you all think about it? Good? Bad? Could have been better? Lots of stuff to talk about, so talk.

Here's a short rant I have.

This was the ending Destiny should have had from the very beginning. Eventhough like 90% of the episode was the same as the last episode, the remaining 10% of new stuff was really good. I think it was alot better that they added all these small elements to make it more interesting.

I loved the end of it too, eventhough it was like: "Hi! I'm Captain Obvious, duh!".

Athrun was like: "This is Kira, Kira Yamato, Freedom's pilot."

Shinn and Luna: "EEEEEEEH!?"

But I really liked what Kira said. "Let us fight together."

This could not only be a very good end to Destiny, but an excellent beginning to something new. Shinn, Kira and Athrun on the same side against the new badguys. And hopefully this time, Shinn will be the real main character.

/endrant.

Now, you guys do your rants.

Piekage · 12-25-2005, 03:37 PM

This is a much better end to Destiny. The small amount of new stuff definetly made up for the previous ending. I argee with Mindless that it could be the start of something new.

Friend · 12-25-2005, 03:52 PM

Wait, what? different/new ending? Haha I didn't know. I'm still stuck in Gundam Seed land (yes, I am watching it backwards, I have already finished Destiny) If it's worth a look i'll have to download it.

I don't know if I could handle another Gundam series though. My suprising foray into Mecha land might be ending but if it's the same characters and still good music I'll still watch. o_O

zuhair · 12-25-2005, 03:54 PM

this is gud..at least shinns gonna be the new HERO here hehe..i love shinn from the start..its sad to see stellar die..man..it was a rough time i cried..i wish naruto fan plus would care too upload this episode to thier server so i can download them anytime T.T...Shinn asuka ashimas..sayonara^^

O-ushi · 12-25-2005, 05:25 PM

I just finished watching the ep. I found it to be much better than ep 50. Certain scenes didnt look bad as it did last time.

Funny quote:
Kira: " Athrun! Archangel Head for Requiem! Me and Eternal will take care or Messiah!"
Short Pause
"ummm, thats an order!"
On Eternal
Dacosta: "Ehhh!"

Haha. Yeah, that was really funny.

But Kira is after all their superior officer. I believe he is only second to Cagalli in rank in the ORB Military.

He is. With Lacus gaining top ranks in ZAFT, he could probably be up there somewhere too. Having the best of both worlds, what a guy.

I was happy with having 'Vestige' as the opening song for the episode too with Kira and Athrun in all their glory minus Shinn. I do start to like Shinn in this episode though especially towards the end. I loved the part when Shinn had that flashback of meeting Kira earlier before the war and the ending song flows in... That was the best ending I could ask for.

Zuttasoxx · 12-25-2005, 08:05 PM

Is it already subbed? Cause I don't know if it is the raw that is on the topic of downloads that sousske gave us. So actually searching the subbed.

O-ushi · 12-25-2005, 09:20 PM

Its not subbed yet. Only the raw is out. Dont expect a subbed ep for awhile.

Anyhows this ep was a lot better than Phase 50. The battle scenes made a lot more sense and more logical too. The clashes didnt look as rushed as they did in ep 50. It also flowed a lot better.

What did seem weird was the voice acting. It seemed a little strange. I m guessing that after not doing anything on GSD for a few months cause the Voice actors to forget the type of voice and tones they used for there characters

That might be just me though.

ssouske · 12-25-2005, 09:32 PM

finally managed to DL the S^M version... well i guess its Destiny's real ending if it were given like 2-3 episodes more with some minor adjustments like asuxcaga ain't over yet, rey and shinn took a little more time to pwn, and that thing where athrun followed kira in messiah... everything else was just phase 50... and oh... we did get to see some damage on the heros like the damage on dom trooper unit 001 and on dearka's phantom. we also get to see SHIHO AGAIN!!!

(maybe that black and red warior/phantom we saw in the past was hers) personaly, i liked this more than phase 50... i think this is GSD's version of End of EVA...

although there are still a lot of questions left unanswered.

One question though... shin+kira+athrun fighting together is indeed a good line to open up a 3rd SEED series, but i wonder where could the next conflict come from? cagalli is the head of ORB, Lacus is up there in ZAFT. so could it be that the EAF will be the ones again to cause the new confilct? or will aliens start coming to earth ala super robot show style then invade plant first on their way to earth?

if that happens i believe that would be a first for gundam...

Just wait and see.

I bet the Zeons have a big ass fleet around Jupiter or something and they will come to destroy them soon enough.

That could happen, but seriously though.

Djibril will return with a mask and call himself Gheylord Za Fokker, and he will turn out to be a Klueze clone in the end after Shinn, Kira and Athrun destroys him, only for him to return with a new mask, and call himself Fokker Za Gheylord.

Freija · 12-25-2005, 11:11 PM

in the intro, was that kira and lacus naked -_-'' that was quite random done for an intro

LOL ZEONS?!?

out of no where zakuIIs, geloogs and hiZacks come out with musai class ships attacking the plants...

they are led by a pansy in red suit and mask with his big fat cat... Seig ZEON!!! Seig Gheylord Za Fokker!!! XD

Chrno · 12-26-2005, 03:16 AM

Wow even knew I already knew all the shocking parts thanks to the dumbed down last episode we were forced to see, this was still a bit impacting. Why didn't they just wait a few weeks before releasing epi 50 is beyond me..this was so much better.

edit: As to where the next conflict could come from..could be something crazy like some people have joked around about Lacus going Darth Vader!. Revealing everything went according to plan *nod* or some galactic disaster that a complete alliance of Zaft and EA is needed to beat *Stelvia!*

Jh1stgen · 12-26-2005, 03:40 AM

I hope the antagonist ARENT politician ... we had chairman Zala and Gill ... and they both died very ... *yawn

We need someone that can match or be somewhat better than an ultimate coordinator with SF ... someone that can challenge Kira!

ssouske · 12-26-2005, 04:27 AM

as for the new villain, i'll put my money on someone like gheylord za fokker...

anyway, i have seen meyrin's eherm... hairy uhm... chest... she does need some shaving

and have you guys noticed that look on shinn's face when athrun said "he is freedom's pilot." he kinda looked like "eh?!? how in hell can he be it?!? o.0"

Son_Pan · 12-26-2005, 11:50 AM

^gay lord la fucker you mean? =)

Maybe conflicts for a 3rd Seed would come from some similar to the rogue co-ordinator group in GSD? Small army of elites with powerful mobile suits would be to be a good challenge and foe for the super pilots like Kira and Athrun. It may be better to focus on small groups rather than the entire picture.

Chrno · 12-26-2005, 03:50 PM

Wow uh just noticed the hair on Meyrin, guess Athrun has a thing for womenw it hair oO always wondered why he would ever leave Cagalli..
