5.0 out of 5 stars The Final Box Set Of A Fantastic Series, May 19, 2009

This set fully completes my Gundam Seed anime series set since I've already gotten the previous two box sets and the first Gundam Seed Destiny box set which I'm truly happy for since some of Bandai's recent choices of which sets to release and which to outright cancel(Zegapain being one of them). The series is hard to follow though if you've never seen the beginning of the GS universe and the stories of the characters so I'd advise watching the series from the very beginning to understand what is really going on, like most of the Gundam universe series this show seems to mostly stress the utter stupidity and futility of wars. If you look at the various fighting sides you'll see they all seem to have various and seemingly just reasons for what they are doing and why they are fighting but in the end shows how nothing will change with brute force and that it's up to the people to willingly decide to change the way things are without the threat or fear of oppression. The characters grow on you and you will weep as some are killed off through the series but that in itself is what makes a great series as you cheer, cry, and feel for the characters as they continue on in the show. The voice cast for both the Japanese and English actors were right on for their roles and kudos to both, the video is clear and sharp and the music is great both heart pacing and fast very addictive as you watch the battle scenes in the series. So I say for any mecha anime or sci-fi anime fan and for the price check out the series you'll most likely be very entertained, and for fans of the gundam series rejoice as the final set is finally out....

3.0 out of 5 stars A seriously flawed and tired storyline..., February 9, 2010

For anyone who has seen the Gundam Seed series, I would not bother watching this unless you understand that it basically repeats everything that happens in the first series but with some new characters. I mean, they even bring back the Genesis weapon. Then they try to Nuke the Plants, again! And Kira and Athrun end up fighting, again! And the Archangel and everyone is targeted by both the Earth forces and Zaft, again! Finally Athrun joins the Archangel's crew, again! And they were so lazy that when Athrun and Kira received new Gundams, they are the same exact Freedom and Justice... what happened to making sweet new machines??? Watch Gundam Seed and then for some laughs watch Destiny... there is a bit of good action but overall it reeks of the same tired plot twists used in Seed. And BTW, I am a HUGE Gundam fan, all the way back to the original (with its super cheesy intro music!).

I recommend that you should watch in Japanese with ENglish subtitles, if you watch at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good start, terrible ending., May 17, 2011

Gundam Seed Desinty was the followup sequel to the hit series Gundam Seed. Let's be clear, I grew up with the original UC Gundam series from the 80s and 90s. I liked Seed very much for taking the theme of the original MSG series and giving it a nice refresh for the post 2000 anime viewing crowd. Great designs and animation and aside from some quirks like director Fukuda's overuse of the flashback as a cheap storytelling device, very solid show and cool MS designs, fast action.

So what did Gundam Seed Desinty do? Take everything good about Seed...reuse them...and make it slightly worse.

Seed starts off with a protoype Gundam hijack. GSD starts off with...a prototype Gundam hijack. Ok

Seed focused on the Earth Alliance ship and characters as the protagnoists. GSD flips this around with an all ZAFT crew as the protagonists, ok that's an interesting twist.

GSD does some interesting character developments with the main character Shinn Asuka but then things start to go horribly wrong after the midpoint of the series.

Somewhere the show writers lose direction or perhaps creative control of the plot, and somehow, the main characters of Destiny end up getting shoved into the background as secondary characters, the old cast of the Archangel, Kira and Athrun end up becoming the show leads once again. And the main character Shinn turns into an unlikeable loser nemesis to Kira? Maybe the writers were trying to do something clever with the plot, but this mess is what ends up transpiring.

And the end, pathetic. No wonder Destiny did not get any airtime on US TV unlike Seed which was quite popular.

If you've watched Seed and enjoyed it, please just skip Destiny, pretend the show just didn't exist, otherwise you'll get caught up in the promising start then get dissapointed as the show progresses and then really get upset at yourself at having invest so much viewing time just to reach that miserable conclusion.
