22 years later, how bad do we think it really is?

I love OG SEED. Kira gets kinda dumb though in Destiny and Freedom.
>>22870000Better than Zeta but that's not a high bar
>>22870000Athrun Zala has arrived and demands naked tomboys.
>>22876970You're shit.Seed is GOAT.kys.
>>22879117Is it worth it?
>>22870000SEED is unironically fine. Probably my favorite official Gundam AU, since all of the others besides IBO are rehashes of UC, whereas SEED differentiates itself with its romantic fairy tale flavor.
Almost finished watching Seed Destiny. Nowhere near as bad as people made it out to be, and these Jesus memes about Kira are disappointingly way out of proportion.
>>22879564SEED is literally 50% a 0079 rehash what are you talking about?
>>22870000Very bad
>>22870000>Cosmic Era>2 shows, manga, a movie, a couple videogames>STILL NO SEED GUNDAMWhat did they mean by this? Why call it gundam seed when there's no seed gundam?
20 years since the premiere of Gundam Seed Destiny. What would you like to say to Seed Destiny on its 20th anniversary?
Most of what makes it decent at all is just it rehashing 0079 or remixing concepts from UC. The only decent central idea it has about genetic engineering and the consequences thereof are poorly explored mainly because it's largely dropped as something they even address after a while.Popularity amongst the casual audience was carried by its good character designs, soundtrack, and of course Okawara's mechanical designs. As much as people joke about the character samefaces, the character designs have endured in their popularity after all this time, whether through merch or the endless porn we get of them.
>>22879853Honestly im surprised good character design is a factor here. I find both the design and the artstyle very ugly.
Personally? I was not fond of it all that much but it had its moments (Stargazer & Astray). DESU I found more enjoyment out of watching G-Reco than this.
>>22880213I don't like the designs either but there's clearly something appealing about them to a lot of people. Someone who's more well-versed in cartoon character designs in this could probably explain better than I can but I think the simplistic samefaces that people criticize a lot are simultaneously what makes it so appealing to mass audiences.
>>22879564The whole point of SEED’s production was to be a 0079 for dumbfuck young children in the early aughts

>>22870000I finished watching SEED for the first time this last weekend and mostly enjoyed it (Athrun carries). It spends about 20 episodes being an EXTREME rip off of 0079 before starting to do it's own thing after the whole not-ramba ral arc. The gundam designs grew on me a lot, but that's also the problem. Most of the designs were just gundams. Grunts took a huge backseat and even worse they're just uninspired rip offs of UC suits (which seems to have gotten worse with Destiny and Freedom). Can't wait to watch destiny because I hear it becomes a trainwreck.
Did anyone ever get the CellDX cards?
>>22879483Kira is cucked.

>>2287956400 was a fucking Wing retread, you retard.
Watched it for the first time last year. The first episode was good but then it got pretty boring and I felt like it was just a series of battles with no stakes until like episode 8 or so when Flay starts becoming more important. Her overt Coordinator hate, manipulating Kira to become her personal kill dog, the on screen sex scene. She legitimately made the series interesting again and I got invested into what would happen.

>>22886361Yeah, that was pivotal.
>>22886361>SEED actually gets interesting when it does something other than poorly ape 0079Many such cases.
>>22879853To be honest Seed/Destiny angular designs always looked boring to me. Post-0079 UC Gundams are much cooler. Okawara peaked at Wing and after that his designs were just rehashes.
