5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Four, August 20, 2009

This review is from: Gundam Seed Destiny: TV Movie 2 (DVD)

Many were unpleased with the three Special Edition movies covering the original Gundam Seed Series. 48 Episodes, not counting the two clips shows were compressed into three 90 minute features. Many parts of the story were cut that fans felt were important. Not even the additon of a few new scenes and the improved animation quality was enough to sell most fans. However, for the sequel series Gundam Seed Destiny there are four movies instead of three. Also the Destiny series had four clip shows instead of two and even in some of the other episodes there are often flashback frame montages. So all together there's only about 45 episodes worth of material to cover and that includes the extra scenes from Final Plus. So with less material to cover and four movies instead of three the Special Editions for Gundam Seed Destiny overall were much better than the original Seed Trilogy.

This movie covers the major events that happened during episodes 14-28. This was easily the best of the four Gundam Seed Destiny movies. Everything that was awesome and relevant that I wanted to see was there and everything that was horrible and irrelevant wasn't. The first movie had the potential to be the best, but since it covered episodes 1-13, the best segment of the series there were some good things that were cut. Not in this one though. The battle near an Alliance Base, the battle of Dardanelles and the battle around Crete are all here. The widescreen format and improved animation makes for a fine presentation.

There were a few changes made and a few new things added. For one Miriallia is already on the Archangel when it leaves Orb, eliminating all the scenes where she's on her own as a photographer. Lunamaria is the one that rescues Shinn and Stella from the cave instead of Athrun, this was done to put more emphasis on her relationship with Shinn since all scenes showing her crush on Athrun are removed. During the meeting between Durandal and the main members of the Minerva crew instead of Durandal doing all the talking about war and profit Rey is given some of the dialogue instead of being quiet during the whole affair in the series, showing insight about his character earlier in the story. In the series he was in the background till about episode 33 when he became more involved out of nowhere. Lastly when Kira in the Freedom obliterates the Saviour its phased shift colored armor fades as it comes apart which makes sense given that it was damaged beyond repair. In the series the colored armor was retained which made no sense. The new song Tears by Lisa that plays during the ending credits was really good. There are a few new things that I didn't mention that you should check out.

One who hasn't seen the series and watches this might say it's a bit rushed. Trust me you're not missing anything. As someone who has watched the series twice I can say the fast paced Special Editions are more enjoyable than the often slow moving series. Unlike the original Gundam Seed when if I had to choose between the boxsets of the series or the Special Editions I'd choose the series easily I would say the opposite for Destiny. If you watch all four movies and still want more go for it. Either way you won't be disapointed with this disc.

If you don't have the time to see all 50 episdes, and looking for a condense version of the story, while still remaining true to the overall theme, this is it. Some say this is rewrite of the original gundam story even though I didn't see to many similarities but it is one of the best mecha anime, wortth your while.
