A lot of people who liked OG SEED were probably burned by Destiny, and non fans were probably offended, so that's probably why so many Gundam fans hate it. it was so bad, it crossed lines.

Your "really unorthodox" design pretty much is the Turn A. Designed by Syd Mead for Turn A Gundam, and looks very different. Lots of curves, very streamlined, and very different weapons.

But I wouldn't necessarily recommend watching Turn A just to see the mech itself. All the designs in that show are weird though so...

Are you doing this just to spite watch a Gundam show? Look for a design people dislike and cling onto the show for dear life? Because I know you were on SEED Destiny because we all dislike it, so I hope you don't go into a show just to spite others. There's other great Gundam shows out there that you could actually enjoy for your own interest in those shows.

I was thinking about Seed Destiny to see if my unfamiliarity with the franchise does anything to my experience of such a hated series.

And I'm just curious about unorthodox designs because most Gundam designs look too similar in my opinion (then again, I'm used to more varied looking giant robots, so Gundams uniformity might just be something to get used to).

Remember when the director of SEED's wife (who was not part of the writing team or Sunrise) constantly added in changes and her husband would put them in? And remember that time when Shinn's voice actor said something about it, and his character was made the final villain because of it? Good times. Good times.

Yeah, you just kind of get used to it. Plus, the uniformity only really hits you if you look at all the shows together, rather then when you're watching one. At most there are 5ish gundams in a show, but I feel like their designs are distinct enough from each other.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Heero was never as brutal as Mika was right?

I mean, yeah he killed people but I can't recall if he ever did it face to face like Mika did.

Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Episode 3: That was a fantastic episode. I am really enjoying how they are dealing with some real issues like financially staying afloat. I loved the duel between Mika and Crank that was a fantastic fight and great overall learning more about Mika's character that he's full of contradictions and how it makes him strong. Orga was great too I enjoyed his plan of taking over the CGS and running the group better than the last schmucks; also happy that they killed that one douche who lead the past group. Bernstein's character development has been great with her wanting to help them fight against the Gjallarhorn group and more. Definitely brings a grittiness to the anime I am watching right now. I like the tone and feel it gives to me as I watch it and I can't wait for more.

Considering he kept saying to certain people he'd kill them, and then fail to, so far yeah. Mika doesn't have that promise flaw.

He made promises, but I don't remember if he actually did it. At least Setsuna and Alleujah killed people when they were kids.

But yeah, Mika is pretty hardcore.

He threatened people all the time, but didn't go around executing like that.

Wufei killed more than Heero did if I remember correctly.
