agreed. now I'm 37 now. before rewatching, I hate this series. was big fan of Universal Century. but now,have different point of view "Flay Allster". and another charactor. anyway good animation too.

@@GodOfEvil066 I started watching SEED just because I heard that SEED Freedom was coming out in January but now I'm hooked onto the series. Hopefully they'll release SEED Destiny before the new movie comes out.
@@chaikagaz the reason Rau is like that probably because he realized from the get go that he wasn't born to be an individual. He was born to be nothing more but a replacement for Mu's father. The realization that he was never meant to be anybody but a replacement would break anybody.
This episode was the first time I cried watching a tv series or movie. Every time that final music starts the feels come back strong even after 20 years.
those are probably people who only watch it for the animation. Yes Seed animation can not match 00s for example. But its atmosphere and emotion (helped a lot by incredible sound track) is unmatched by any Gundam series, even the original
Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny will catch your emotions and the feelings of the characters. Don't mind if some says this series is a crap because of how Kira is turning to an immortal type of protagonists (some called him jesus yamato). I just like the emotions in every episodes and it's ending. For me, it's still one of the best gundam series I'd watched.
I didn't understand the story at all way back 2006 or maybe 2007 . that's when I first watched this series. Now I know that the story itself is not for kids. it's so deep , it tackles different aspects of life and the very unique thing about Seed is it doesn't have that lot of filler episodes that most anime does .
@@wilkinlow I also find plot armor annoying in video game adaptations. I understand that having a unit you took time and credits upgrading only to lose it (worse, also turns out you have wasted your creds upgrading it) sucks, but unless the gameplay can make it up, it still cringes.
if you think about it, Rau was such a good villain. My guy was a clone of a natural, effectively making him a natural. And he only excelled as a fucking red and white coat in ZAFT ahead of coordinators. I understand that the providence is probably superior to the freedom but to give Kira (PLOT armor and ultimate coordinator) a run for his money is quite impressive.
The irony about this duel is that both Kira and Rau was right. Rau was being realistic that people can be cruel as heck to everybody else and no one can deny that, yet Kira is also right because there are also rare instances where people can also be a saving grace to others. A clash between ideals but these two just tunnels to the extreme side of the spectrum. Look at the real world for a second and you'll see that they were right at some point.
Rau said ALL human like fighting and killing so the WHOLE human race should be wiped out. How is it right? Kira was arguing that not all humans are like that but Rau won't listen.
@@windowhihi wasn’t ur cap show enough? it because different idealism that make people fight, they just can’t accept something different than what they seem normal. they would even mad if they see me eat pineapple on pizza. n rau wasn’t talking about fighting, it’s about hatred. he even say the hatred already spread through space. it the hatred that cause fighting.
@@mysilentworld6731 Now now, you don't mean what you said about pineapple pizza. That's just a warcrime... On a more serious note, you're right about Rau. He points out rightly that given the shittery we humans force on others on a daily basis, it doesn't seem like we should be allowed to live at all. But for Kira-well, for anyone in question- the solution isn't to wipe everyone out. Because that would be the last word in dick moves, but more importantly, because then there would really be no end to the shittery we force onto each other. That's why some say the battle against evil never ends and can never be won, but the fact that it has no absolute victory doesn't mean that we ought to stop fighting to achieve one, because the alternative is much, much worse.
when I first watched this as a teen, I rooted for Kira. as an Adult in his early 30s, I understand the truth in what Rau says in which humanity sucks the big one.

I’m with you there, my friend. Very few Gundam series have this much character-driven appeal and emotional tension, and Gundam SEED exceeds at both. It’s probably in my top 3 favorite Gundam series of all time, if not THE top already.

What I love most about "the seed universe." It teaches you that so many people have "the answers" but non can solve "the problem". You just gotta let it solve itself and hope for the best.🙃
More than 20 years since this series, unfortunately it is only now that I realised the deep messages embedded within. Back then as a kid, the message I understood was that the Coordinators were the 'bad people' who were the superior (race/type?) and the Naturals were just fighting back for their survival. As I rewatched the episodes, i began to realise that it is far from it. Sadly, everybody loses in war.
17:41 I can't imagine that ZAFT is so desperate to escape Jachin Due after they uhh activated the Self-Destruct sequence that an Medical GINN is using those wires to carry people away

Rewatching this as an adult vs a teen back then.. ahhh so nostalgic. And it's now only that I truly understand its message and story. What a great series. Thank you Bandai! ❤
어릴 때 보던 시각이랑 지금에서야 보는 시각이 많이 다른 것을 느낍니다. 여전히 스토리에 편의주의적 이야기도 있긴 하지만 그것을 포함해서도 정말 잘 만든 작품인 것 같습니다. 전쟁의 잔인함을 여과없이 보여주어 그것이 멋진 것이 아니라는 것을 포장하지 않는 점도 좋은 포인트라고 생각합니다.
Lacus's speech in the beginning of this episode is one of the greatest highlight of Seed universe, taught me about the futileness of war as a kid. Sure people hate on Jesus Yamato and how OP Freedom is but Seed is WAYYYY better than AGE in term of theme
The people that hate on SEED were either dipshit teens with a shallow IQ and that's all they remember about it or just people following the hate crowd w/o watching themselves and don't know any better or just hate for the sake of. I love it when they rewatch it again as adults and COMPLETELY change their tune. "Guys SEED was never bad. The only problem was your perspective," It has its flaws, and as much as like Kira, I am not oblivious to his comically hilarious OP-biased writing. With that said it was and still is a solid Gundam series. AGE, to me, sadly, is what I like to call "Gundam Trope BINGO". It does every Gundam Trope ever and the sad thing is - other than the Asemu arc - the other series do it better. It's a good starting point for newbies, especially those at a young age though. I just found AGE to be ULTRA GENERIC AF Now, SEED Destiny on the other hand... ... 🤮
I think that Jesus Yamato meme started because of his plot armor in GS: Destiny. If we are talking about seed, this is almost a perfect show IMO. The only thing that limit this series are the recycle scenes that occurred many times.
@@PlayerRed01 Recycled animation - especially used for mech series - is a go-to industry standard within the harsh rigors of the animation industry when pressed for time or to save time. There's no "artistic dishonor" in doing so as the old saying goes "Work smarter not harder." Especially when "time is money". I used to believe the same thing until I went to Art School and learned for myself "No one cares so long as you got the job done" This phrase applies to working jobs in general ;) On the subject of Kira though, I really wish they'd animate some kind of explanation of how he survives the Aegis explosion for viewers not familiar with the Astray manga, but, that's just my idealization
@@SH2K9 I know about recycle animations in anime but GS and GSD took it to another level. One example are grunts dying to the same animation over and over again while other shows have 3 or more death animation. BTW its just my opinion feel free to disregard it :) About Kira, IIRC he was saved by the protagonist of MSGS Astray in the manga. Don't know if they explained how he survive
To me, it doesn't matter which Gundam it is all Gundam models are unique and downright badass in every way, and from the beginning till the end Gundam will always be my favorite Mechs of all time! Thanks, Gundam info for all you give us the fans!
In Philippines it was aired every night around 8 pm with PG 16 slapped. Cartoon Network got the rights and thankfully not aired on Adult Swim. Ain't staying awake in the middle of night.
Damn the ending for Gundam Seed is probably the best one out of all the Gundams that I have seen now that I have grown up since the first time I watched it. Something about it that just ticks every box for me.
Strike: destroyed by Dominion's Lohengrin Buster: SURVIVED, heavily damaged by Providence Duel: SURVIVED AND OPERATIONAL Blitz: sliced in half by Strike Aegis: self-destruct Freedom: SURVIVED, sustained damage by Providence, all remaining accessories heavily damaged by GENESIS blast Justice: self-destruct Providence: impaled in cockpit by Freedom then vaporized by GENESIS's beam Strike Rouge: SURVIVED, all accessories heavily damaged Calamity: sliced in half by Justice METEOR Forbidden: destroyed by Duel Raider: destroyed by Duel-Buster combo
@@JeromeFelipe Strike Rouge got repaired and added the Ootori backpack, which has Freedom's railgun and red beam cannon, anti-ship sword, missiles, 2 gatling pods and wings for atmospheric flight. Duel and Buster are already obsolete by the time of Jachin Due. The atmospheric flight part is a big deal, because of all the machines listed, only Freedom, Justice, Forbidden and Raider can perform sustained atmospheric flight. All other either ride on Guuls, piggy back (Calamity) can only do short hops near the ground (Strike). Whereas in Destiny, except for Gaia, Abyss and BuCues, few machines fight on the ground. (Given what Legend can do, we can only speculate that Providence can do atmospheric flight despite being not very aerodynamic. It has a nuclear powered core and OS like Freedom and Justice. Anything can fly when you slap on a big enough engine)
Everyone talk about how trash is flay personality, but I saw her is as human can ever be. Literally seflish in survival, yet nobody will ever admit it. I cant never able to defend her action, but it is what it is. Man...
Director Fukuda himself also said that Flay was written by him as a realistic character who would be ugly if he lost everything due to war. Flay's role highlights Kira's personality, showing what kind of person he is.
Even if we hate flay, she really the first one who supporting kira's broken mental. At least, that's what kira see 😢 Not what we see with our "all seeing eye"
@@yaiay2134Flay is literally the only person who says he will protect Kira, no one in the movie has told him so. The director also said that Flay is the person who understands Kira the most because she is the one who is always near Kira. Flay's fake affection comforts Kira when he is tired.
nihilist villains are the scariest of them all, because their line of thinking is just "fuck you, fuck the world, and especially fuck you". the crazy ones (eg: FF6 Kefka) go "fuck you, your dog, your mom, this checklist, and that sand that was on my shoes"
Mobile suit Gundam seed is my first time watching Gundam. . . .and it was so good and feel nostalgic. . 🤩❤Freedom&Justice Gundam are my favourite all time. . .
10 July 2023. Back then, when I first time watched this series, maybe because I still young, so I just enjoyed it and didn't really think about what message to convey through this anime. Now, rewatching it when I'm more mature and 32 now, I can understand and think more about the message of this series and see this series in different way. Totally. And considering that even in our real world now, war still exists and yet stop.
Flays death is still one of the hardest hitting deaths in all of gundam history for me. Im not sure why i connected so dearly with kira, but this entire struggle of a show was one of the most emotional i ever felt beating IBO outright.
Same for me, i feel kira more human than the other's protagonist from AU (never watched UC). The other just have "i am a soldier so i don't have emotion" kinda vibe
It's a death that never ceases to hurt me when thinking about it. It's entirely due to her connection with Kira. I could never have expected them to develop such an intense and unique bond in the early episodes of the series.
An amazing show indeed. It's been a while since I've cried in an anime. The story overall for me was a 9/10 would have been full 10 if some of those characters were alive instead. Truly a beautiful story, well on to the next season 👍
@@kathrena1213 cant really blame her, she barely had any scenes compared to both of them. If you were to compare, lacus barely had half of the show, if not like a quarter due to her screen time, to develop, whereas natarle and flay basically had the whole show to develop from being strict and ignorant, to finally understanding and maturing, respectively.
20 years ago i felt that Flay was a useless character.. however today after rewatching this series, my perspective has changed.. without her the Seed series might not continue and also might not reached to it's end
Athrun got it worst. Being caught in between ideals. Undergoing all the experiences, ultimately witnessing his father's death. Even though it was destined to happen to chairman, Athrun had to endure the blunt of it all...
I absolutely love Seed. It's one of my favourite series, and though I have heard from a lot of people that they found it slow at the start, I did not find this a problem. I would advise to watch it in the original Japanese with subs, as quite frankly the dub is nearly as bad as the Evangelion dub, which pretty much batters my ears with a very large hammer. Lacus and Fllay under the dub become awful, they are given voices that do not suit their characters imo, and the way they are voiced makes me think that the voice actors looked at the hair and thought, pink hair = bimbo :rolleyes:. I think the storyline is good, the characters are interesting, and it all looks great. The only problem is scene reuse, but I'll live with it. So I recommend highly with a whopping..... 9/10 ⭐
I finished Gundam Seed on 31st May 2024, people said Seed was bad but they were wrong. It genuinely is a good series, I'm just glad Kira and the crew are safe, I wish Witch from Mercury had similar sacrifices like Seed, and more episodes like Seed too because it would have been much better. I like Seed. Kira, Lacus, Athrun, Cagalli and the crew are my oshis

전쟁의 잔인함을 여과없이 보여주어 그것이 멋진 것이 아니라는 것을 포장하지 않는 점도 좋은 포인트라고 생각합니다.
Lacus's speech in the beginning of this episode is one of the greatest highlight of Seed universe, taught me about the futileness of war as a kid.
Sure people hate on Jesus Yamato and how OP Freedom is but Seed is WAYYYY better than AGE in term of theme
I agree. There's a reason why SEED was the most popular Gundam series.
The people that hate on SEED were either dipshit teens with a shallow IQ and that's all they remember about it or just people following the hate crowd w/o watching themselves and don't know any better or just hate for the sake of. I love it when they rewatch it again as adults and COMPLETELY change their tune.
"Guys SEED was never bad. The only problem was your perspective,"
It has its flaws, and as much as like Kira, I am not oblivious to his comically hilarious OP-biased writing. With that said it was and still is a solid Gundam series.
AGE, to me, sadly, is what I like to call "Gundam Trope BINGO". It does every Gundam Trope ever and the sad thing is - other than the Asemu arc - the other series do it better. It's a good starting point for newbies, especially those at a young age though. I just found AGE to be ULTRA GENERIC AF
Now, SEED Destiny on the other hand...
...
🤮
I think that Jesus Yamato meme started because of his plot armor in GS: Destiny. If we are talking about seed, this is almost a perfect show IMO. The only thing that limit this series are the recycle scenes that occurred many times.
@@PlayerRed01 Recycled animation - especially used for mech series - is a go-to industry standard within the harsh rigors of the animation industry when pressed for time or to save time. There's no "artistic dishonor" in doing so as the old saying goes "Work smarter not harder." Especially when "time is money".
I used to believe the same thing until I went to Art School and learned for myself "No one cares so long as you got the job done"
This phrase applies to working jobs in general ;)
On the subject of Kira though, I really wish they'd animate some kind of explanation of how he survives the Aegis explosion for viewers not familiar with the Astray manga, but, that's just my idealization
@@SH2K9 I know about recycle animations in anime but GS and GSD took it to another level. One example are grunts dying to the same animation over and over again while other shows have 3 or more death animation. BTW its just my opinion feel free to disregard it :)
About Kira, IIRC he was saved by the protagonist of MSGS Astray in the manga. Don't know if they explained how he survive
Can't believe Rau has a same voice of Muzan. The voice actor deserves an oscar award. 🤣
Sone of gundam seed casts are worked together in KNY, one of them are Kira, Athrun, Shinn, Mu La, Flay, Lunamaria and her sister & Azrael
To me, it doesn't matter which Gundam it is all Gundam models are unique and downright badass in every way, and from the beginning till the end Gundam will always be my favorite Mechs of all time! Thanks, Gundam info for all you give us the fans!
Exquisite thumbnail. Memories of a generation.
well, there goes another re-watch, see you guys on the 30th anniversary.
The DRAGOON (Disconnected Rapid Armament Group Overlook Operation Network) is still my favourite gundam weapon.
Only recently finished Seed as an adult. I love it. Wish I had stayed up as a teen to finish it back then on Adult Swim.
In Philippines it was aired every night around 8 pm with PG 16 slapped. Cartoon Network got the rights and thankfully not aired on Adult Swim. Ain't staying awake in the middle of night.
@@artfire28 Nice! Glad to hear the Philippines got to enjoy Gundam too
I recorded each episode and watched them when I got up in the morning.
why did the gundam seed destiny playlist removed :(
😢😢😢😢
15 year old me watching Giant Space robots fighting to the death: Cool. 33 Year old me watching Giant Space robots fighting to the death: Cool.
First time ever a MC can’t even put up a proper argument so he killed the villain
My all time favorite! Glad I'd be able to watch it again and again 😁
Seed has the shittiest story. UC is better by miles
@@chaikagaz dont care about your opinion. Let people enjoy what they want
@@chaikagazUCtard hv their own grave
17:53 - Rau foreshadowing the events of Gundam SEED Destiny.
The Gundaminfo should be showing the final ending when the protagonists are having dinner with children who lost their parent in a battle
The original remastered version had it. Now they replaced it with an ad.
@@yatsumleung8618 I mean at this point, every season is an AD for their Gunpla.
Never thought I ll watch this anime again after years. Now fully understanding the storyline compared to when I was in high school
Im 35yeasr old.😢thanks a lot .freedom
GS used to come on YTVs Bionix back in 2004. I loved it and the other anime shows that would air every Friday and Saturday nights!!
You're one of the OGs o7
Bionix was my first introduction to anime seeing gundam wing, seed and destiny.
Damn the nostalgia.
You have this feeling of nostalgia that you can't erase every time I watch Gundam Seed
Our teen years had ended, but not our love for this series 😢😢😢
04:02-04:20 Editing, sound effect and score combination is Academy awards level
imo Flay has one of the best arcs in all of gundam, and it upsets me she never gets mentioned in Destiny
Her personality is 3D and not perfect which is why a lot of people hate her. Since many people want someone perfect like Lacus to transpose to
@@norwinsharimanmohamadnor9722 sadly you are right.
Great comment. If you felt strobgly about any character then the writers did a good job
....damn. Randomly watching this again and the OP took me back to 2003. Good times.
Damn the ending for Gundam Seed is probably the best one out of all the Gundams that I have seen now that I have grown up since the first time I watched it. Something about it that just ticks every box for me.
No Wonder, Gundam SEED is one of the most popular Gundam Series Ever❤️
11:55 that grunt with justice backpack and freedom waist cannon..
Giga Chad was dressing to impress
Pretty sure that was the test bed for their weaponry.
Its YFX-600R GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type
never fails to make me cry no matter how many times ive rewatched this.
Strike: destroyed by Dominion's Lohengrin
Buster: SURVIVED, heavily damaged by Providence
Duel: SURVIVED AND OPERATIONAL
Blitz: sliced in half by Strike
Aegis: self-destruct
Freedom: SURVIVED, sustained damage by Providence, all remaining accessories heavily damaged by GENESIS blast
Justice: self-destruct
Providence: impaled in cockpit by Freedom then vaporized by GENESIS's beam
Strike Rouge: SURVIVED, all accessories heavily damaged
Calamity: sliced in half by Justice METEOR
Forbidden: destroyed by Duel
Raider: destroyed by Duel-Buster combo
And yet it's only Freedom that got rebuilt in Destiny.
@@JeromeFelipe Strike Rouge got repaired and added the Ootori backpack, which has Freedom's railgun and red beam cannon, anti-ship sword, missiles, 2 gatling pods and wings for atmospheric flight.
Duel and Buster are already obsolete by the time of Jachin Due.
The atmospheric flight part is a big deal, because of all the machines listed, only Freedom, Justice, Forbidden and Raider can perform sustained atmospheric flight. All other either ride on Guuls, piggy back (Calamity) can only do short hops near the ground (Strike). Whereas in Destiny, except for Gaia, Abyss and BuCues, few machines fight on the ground.
(Given what Legend can do, we can only speculate that Providence can do atmospheric flight despite being not very aerodynamic. It has a nuclear powered core and OS like Freedom and Justice. Anything can fly when you slap on a big enough engine)
Justice was rebuilt as well
@@gyelamagneechavez not in destiny though, are you referring to one of the animes?
All Yzak's MS was survive in final(Duel + Freedom, At the begin Freedom had been planned as Yzark's MS)
So the source of Kira's Invincibility (Plot Armor) in GSD is from Flay 9:10
Don't forget the NT as well, since he has her ghost going around in space and providing locations for the Super DRAGOONs to do their work
One of Gundam's Conspiracies throughout the years, "Kira's bird can fly in space"
Plot…..
Yeah right 😂.
If Gundam can fly in space, I don't see a reason why Tori can't.
托里!托里!
Everyone talk about how trash is flay personality, but I saw her is as human can ever be.
Literally seflish in survival, yet nobody will ever admit it.
I cant never able to defend her action, but it is what it is.
Man...
Director Fukuda himself also said that Flay was written by him as a realistic character who would be ugly if he lost everything due to war. Flay's role highlights Kira's personality, showing what kind of person he is.
@@user-jq7km7bk3y 🏆⭐
Man the providence was so OP only the freedom a anti mobile suit could take it out
that's why you want funnels. you don't need to bring a squad if you have the firepower and trajectory of a squad
No one can make Kira suffer like Flay, but Flay is the only one who told Kira that she will protect him.
Even if we hate flay, she really the first one who supporting kira's broken mental. At least, that's what kira see 😢
Not what we see with our "all seeing eye"
@@yaiay2134Flay is literally the only person who says he will protect Kira, no one in the movie has told him so. The director also said that Flay is the person who understands Kira the most because she is the one who is always near Kira. Flay's fake affection comforts Kira when he is tired.
Only one thing can save Flay. But thats happen on SRW DD
Setsuna: TRANS AM!
That's a lie. Lacus can now protect Kira and vice versa with the Mighty Strike Freedom.
Love the ending and the song
i know rau le crueset and rey za burel are voiced by the same person, but man rau's voice is just satisfying to hear
because Rau Le Crueset is a much better character.
@@YakubNg yeah, found his character to be more entertaining
@@YakubNg i mean, Rey's just a younger, edgier Rau
7살 때였나 광선 쏘는 장면 보고 멋있다 그 생각 뿐이었다. 하지만 어른이 되고서 똑같은 걸 다시 봐도 의미가 다르게 다가온다. 이제 20대 후반을 달리고 있지만 여기 유튜브에서 당신들과 함께 봐서 기쁘다.
Yzak hands down tthe chaddest chad ever in seed n seed destiny. More so than asuran. “I wont lose to this guy!” So chad
5:54
Rau is very well made villain while providence like it's name even more godly than freedom with it's funnels
very good and meaningful series, thanks for uploading HD Remaster..
Rau was on fire on this finale such an awesome villain!
Duel and buster were never seen again until freedom but drastically upgraded.
I love when the villain wanna burn everything, not caring if he going to be burned together.
nihilist villains are the scariest of them all, because their line of thinking is just "fuck you, fuck the world, and especially fuck you".
the crazy ones (eg: FF6 Kefka) go "fuck you, your dog, your mom, this checklist, and that sand that was on my shoes"
I never thought I would watch this again
Mobile suit Gundam seed is my first time watching Gundam. . . .and it was so good and feel nostalgic. . 🤩❤Freedom&Justice Gundam are my favourite all time. . .
20:22 진짜 연출 미쳤다
19:34 지키고 싶은 세계가 있다라는 대사는 참 심플하다. 그냥 좋다😂
You know you dun fucked up when you make Kira go for a cockpit blow
Rau's death smile was extremely satisfying, even though he "won" against Kira by using his logic, causing Kira to make him suffer

So I heard you like shining melons.
Me: 👁️👄👁️
Last minute for the explosion is in real time. Really appreciate that.
10 July 2023.
Back then, when I first time watched this series, maybe because I still young, so I just enjoyed it and didn't really think about what message to convey through this anime. Now, rewatching it when I'm more mature and 32 now, I can understand and think more about the message of this series and see this series in different way. Totally. And considering that even in our real world now, war still exists and yet stop.
Wow you open the list again
Thank You So Much
어릴 때 봤을 때는 재밌다 정도였는데 지금보니 정말 캐릭터들 하나하나 감정표현이 최고이고 성우들의 연기도 정말 어마어마하다 많은 눈물을 흘리게 만드는 내 건담입문작.너무나 재밌다... 유튜브에 올려준 건담인포에게 그저 무한한 감사를
진짜 seed는 음악외 보여주는거외 많은걸 보여주고 있는 애니 여러가지가 명작
You know if you think about it naterle sending all her crew mates to the archangel was pointless cause of rau
Yzak killed 2 extendeds... wow 😲
que final tan explosibo y me gusto muchu ver este anime
Thank you once again to bandai for this masterpiece
Flays death is still one of the hardest hitting deaths in all of gundam history for me. Im not sure why i connected so dearly with kira, but this entire struggle of a show was one of the most emotional i ever felt beating IBO outright.
Same for me, i feel kira more human than the other's protagonist from AU (never watched UC). The other just have "i am a soldier so i don't have emotion" kinda vibe
Nah sorry I'm the anti-Flay crowd. To me shes like the third worst villain behind Rau and Azrael.
Yup kira emotion make it easy for us to connect. Other than his op skill
I thought she died early but... took her quite a while.
It's a death that never ceases to hurt me when thinking about it. It's entirely due to her connection with Kira. I could never have expected them to develop such an intense and unique bond in the early episodes of the series.
我不知道重複看了多少次，但是seed是奠定我人生觀戰爭觀的很重要的一部動畫，現在25歲的我可以這麼說，seed絕對是一部發人省思的好作品
An amazing show indeed. It's been a while since I've cried in an anime. The story overall for me was a 9/10 would have been full 10 if some of those characters were alive instead. Truly a beautiful story, well on to the next season 👍
rather have laccus died instead of natarle and flay
laccus lacks character development unlike those 2
@@kathrena1213 cant really blame her, she barely had any scenes compared to both of them. If you were to compare, lacus barely had half of the show, if not like a quarter due to her screen time, to develop, whereas natarle and flay basically had the whole show to develop from being strict and ignorant, to finally understanding and maturing, respectively.
Astray girls
11:50 가장 많이 다시 본 장면이 아니라니
"야메로! 이런 싸움은 모 야메룽다!"
20 years ago i felt that Flay was a useless character.. however today after rewatching this series, my perspective has changed.. without her the Seed series might not continue and also might not reached to it's end
kira is a simp for flay even thought he had an upgrade wtih lacus
Best part of flay death is it's and unrequited love. If flay ever got today those words her death would have absolutely destroyed kira.
Rau is the only one man who talk about LIFE OF TRUTH !!!
As much I didn't like Flay at the end, I could least understand. The way she was doing things were never going to end well.
Athrun got it worst. Being caught in between ideals. Undergoing all the experiences, ultimately witnessing his father's death. Even though it was destined to happen to chairman, Athrun had to endure the blunt of it all...
I absolutely love Seed. It's one of my favourite series, and though I have heard from a lot of people that they found it slow at the start, I did not find this a problem. I would advise to watch it in the original Japanese with subs, as quite frankly the dub is nearly as bad as the Evangelion dub, which pretty much batters my ears with a very large hammer. Lacus and Fllay under the dub become awful, they are given voices that do not suit their characters imo, and the way they are voiced makes me think that the voice actors looked at the hair and thought, pink hair = bimbo :rolleyes:. I think the storyline is good, the characters are interesting, and it all looks great. The only problem is scene reuse, but I'll live with it. So I recommend highly with a whopping..... 9/10 ⭐
"Why have we... come to...a place like this?"
I finished Gundam Seed on 31st May 2024, people said Seed was bad but they were wrong. It genuinely is a good series, I'm just glad Kira and the crew are safe, I wish Witch from Mercury had similar sacrifices like Seed, and more episodes like Seed too because it would have been much better. I like Seed. Kira, Lacus, Athrun, Cagalli and the crew are my oshis
