Destiny

Here's my review on Gundam Seed: Destiny though it's not complete yet.
Well, genreally it's about an ultimate evil guy with plans to create a world, where everyone is born with a destiny, much like gatacca if u;ve watched the movie. This is done through alterations of genes. So, the good guys will go and stop them? Yea, it's pretty that much straight forward.
However, the way the story's told non-linearly, which makes it quite interesting. It starts off with the Zaft camp, with Shinn Asuka as the main character. Azuran's around too but Kira is barely to be seen. In fact, he doesnt even fight until eps 25? For those who didn't watch Gundam Seed, Shin might be considered as the protagonist here but i still think Kira's the one. The antagonist is Dunnidal, Zaft's Chairman, yet again..( BIG SPOILER here..)So, Shinn and Azuran( for quite a while) are being manipulated by the chairman. And there's Rey, another Fraga clone or something. Oh, Fraga's still alive!( big big spoiler...) but he's like got amnesia and is on the Earth side fighting the war. Any other spoilers?:P
Now, to my thoughts about this series. First and foremost, the mechs, gundams. I'm pretty impressed. The Zaku's look awesome and there are so many versions and customizable ones. Lunamaria's is pretty cool. The Gundams though, are like recycled stuff from the 1st season. so Strike's still there.. rouge strike actually. and impulse is awfully similar to it too. strike freedom is freedom + strike. infinite justice is justice.. legend is like providence .. destiny.. well, reminds me abit of shinning gundam from cant remember wat series d. the coolest thing maybe be destroyer, a giant mobile suit.. and maybe akatsuki( red moon) belonging to cagalli then fraga. It's golden though:P
Characters, next. All from the last season are still around. New ones are like dunnidal, rey, shinn and lunamaria. All of them have a depth and they're quite complex, which makes things interesting. Cagalli faces her toughest challenge as representative of Orb while Kira and Azuran have doubts about the war and what they're actually doing. The strongest character is still Lacus. She's the one that keeps the group together and she's actually quite touching.
I would say the themes potrayed in this series is probably their selling point. As from the last season, war is the major theme. The series is trying to prove that there aren't any good or bad sides in war.everything is bad. war ain't black and white and they're lots of grey points. This was strongly potrayed in the series, even though i doubt kids might understand it.( maybe adults too) Maybe parents should watch this with their kids and educate them. Think it'll really be helpful.
Running out of time to write . So i'll conclude. Give it an 8.5 rating. Sorry btw, for not posting anything in such a long time:P Cheers!
