my problem with SEED is how the creator's wife had more say than the writers or voice actors.

AND SHE'S NOT EVEN ON THE PRODUCTION TEAM!

I'm sorry say what?

I don't know the full issue, but I do know one of the voice actor's said something about someone's wife and that person then changed the story to be against that character.

I dunno. it's been a while since I heard the story.

okay, so apparently one of the writers is the director's wife, and here's what apparently went down:

the directors wife who is also the script writer got into a beef with cagalli's voice actor and fired her/drove her away. this also caused her not to return for anything gundam seed related such as srw games.

She and her hubby supposedly also had issues with Shinn's voice actor.

Although Cross Ange's shittiness is making me believe Destiny's clusterfuck of a second arc wasn't entirely her fault.

Also didn't help that the wife developed cancer partway through Destiny....

Yup and instead of hiring a new writer they made a sick woman work...

i liked destiny until kira became the main character again then it pretty much went back to the same formula as seed and i stopped watching

The new Try was alright. Nothing too spectacular though. I just love how our main characters have beyond OP gunplas now that'll let them probably win a fight almost immediately, if not in a few minutes unless it's their rival team or a villain team. Because who wants an exciting back and forth fight?

Also is it just me or does Fumina look younger? It looks like they redid her face or something.
