But dear god is the Destiny itself one of my most beloved Gundams. The whole "Angel of Vengeance" motif just kicks so much ass.

Based on what I've seen/read of Astray….I feel like that should've been our main story line over what we've got.

It helps that it was created to fill in the plot holes in the main series.

That it has better and more consistent characterization, that's another matter entirely. I really need to track it down some time and give it another read.

Right? So glad I decided to find the HG version of it. I'll be getting the MG version too, but I need me some Winning after this episode.

Sometimes I'm shocked when I find out most people despise the SEED universe. I love it. Anime/Manga & everything else. I feel that aside from UC continuity it's easily the most fleshed out universe we've ever gotten. I really enjoyed SEED, and I actually like Destiny more. If that makes me crazy then so be it. The only animated foray into that universe I didn't much care for was Stargazer.

You like Destiny more then Seed as in all of it?

Yes. Very much so actually. I like the circumstances of the series a bit more. It feels like a more sprawling comprehensive story and war than SEED. And I really enjoy how the new characters get sidelined for the old cast, no that isn't sarcasm either. I truly enjoy most everything Destiny had to offer.

I can see that. The first series just had too much soap operay drama, not to mention that Kira kinda sucks. Could not stand his whinning and crying, you're in war for crying out loud grow a pair!

Seed is one of those rare instenses where I think I prefer the dub over the sub.

That's the worst part for me.

Plus what they did to Cagalli and Athrun*the characters not the pairing*.

also Canard>Shinn>Kira.

So we'll have to agree to disagree.

Oh we definitely disagree. Shin is the most worthless character in either series. Couldn't stand him. Which is again why I love it when the new cast takes a back seat to the cast that matters. Though I agree that I hate how the Cagalli/Athrun relationship ended.

Shinn making Kira his bitch in the Impulse was the highlight of the series for me little prick should have stayed dead.*grumbles*

Also Meer was better then Lacus who was as flat as cardboard.

Oh yeah that sucked but I'm referring to Cagalli becoming a crybaby doormat and Athrun a useless*Saviour-chan... qq* asshole.*Seriously Athrun bitching at and hitting Shinn for saving civilians from and destroying a forced labor camp while your useless ass just flew around in circles? Durandal must have been on the scotch when he assigned you to Faith and gave you the Saviour...*

So yeah we really do.
