Marcis I can't really agree about Kira being more God mode than Heero was. The amount of insane things Heero did without getting so much as a few scratches are just silly. Kira might be one hell of a lucky guy when it comes to surviving explosions, but he hasn't really endured anything outside of the Gundam in the same way Heero has. Also both of them have survived explosions, so in the end I'd give the God mode title to the Wing folks.
Also about flashbacks, I agree that it feels like they are sometimes shoved in the show to fill out screentime. On the other hand, when used correctly, it is indeed a great way of telling the story. A good example of this is when Shinn kills Todoka, having Shinn flashback to when he first met the captain at that shelter (or whatever it was) greatly enhanced the entire scene.
Well Heero is supersoldier or something like that. He has no emotions and such, but he failed in his missions, his mobile suit got scrapped at least twice in series (i am talking about Wing Gundam here not Zero) until he got superGundam.Originally posted by: Terracosmo

Kira outside of his mobile suit is just.. human. He cries, he has friends, he loves Lacus etc etc etc...
When he gets into Gundam he is almost invincible. I guess that is what annoys me. Okay he got his ass kicked by Shinn once, but the true reason behind this is so he could get shiny new SF.
Camille in Zeta never was so perfect, Amuro screwed up many times, they all are just human and make mistakes. Kira is just way too much "superhero" in his mobile suit. Just my opinion
Heero is "cold blooded" all the way. But he has soft spot for Relena, go figure...
And he also likes to team up with Duo
Some flashbacks are okay, but i dislike their constant abuse. Do they really think that viewers are SO stupid that they don't get it on 1st try that they are ramming lesson down our throats over and over again?
Oh well "repetition is a mother of knowledge" as my old teacher said...
I know how Nicoli died. Heck, i've seen him dying more in flashbacks than he was shown alive.
I know what Patrick Zala did, i know how Uzumi died, how many times i have to watch that?
In television you must always cater to the lowest common denominator.Originally posted by: Marcis

Marcis how is Destiny going to end? Just curious what you feel is gonna be the ending. Or do you suspect that it will have a unique ending? For a series that was meant to pay tribute to the ones generations before I think SEED and Destiny are doing quite well. The redesigns of the ZEON suits into ZAFT have all been pleasing for me. Not to mention I've been pretty happy with quite a few of the mechanical designs. Not everyone believed Mwu to be dead at the ending of SEED. After trying its hard to think of a gundam that can be original and not rip off a previous series while still remaining true to the Gundam theme.
about the length of the show
whats the deal? is it 50 or not?? Whats the scoop on that. I personally believe that it would be better if they added like 3-4 episodes above 50. Then they would have the time to explain alot of things making the series that much better
I agree with Terra on this one, Heero is by far in a greater category than Kira would be.
It`s projected to be 50.
But if Gundam F91 can go from a 50 episode series to a 2-hour movie. I'm sure if needed they would add some episodes.
I don't think i can add something that wasn't said before about GSD ending.Originally posted by: Guardian_2000

Athrun is grounded for episode or two because of his wounds. Meyrin has more time to care for him and develop more affection.
AA&Co is gonna leave Earth soon i think. Dullindal has another Gundam up his sleeve, and i guess Lacus will magically pull another Gundam out of her robe just for Neo/Mwu.
Probably Rey, Djibril and Dullindal will die leaving everyone else to live happily ever after. Or maybe not.
If they gonna follow Zeta then lots of people should die. Kira should be at least crippled. Most of main cast should die then.
Well from what I've been hearing there is a good possibility they could make another season for CE. Since its supposed to be a retelling alot has been leaning on the SEED Trilogy. As it is thou this wouldn't show for awhile as timeslots are quite filled for the next year or so. However they supposedly are gonna end Destiny with there being an opening in the plot that can lead to a continuation of the story of Kira and Athrun. We may still get the answers to the questions. Surprisingly alot of stuff thats not answered in the series is covered via the SEED glossary as well from the official gundam site. Atleast in regards to SEED. Once Destiny comes over we'll probably get more info.
i am so sick of athrun and kira, theres nothing more you can do with their relationship, its been reduced to them just shouting eachothers names for the whole episode, god give me a break.
typical script from an episode of GSD:
Athrun: KIRA!!!
Kira: ATHRUN!!!
Athrun: KIRA!!!
Kira: ATHRUN!!!
Athrun: KIRA!!!
Kira: ATHRUN!!!
Athrun: KIRA!!!
Kira: ATHRUN!!!
Athrun: KIRA!!!
Kira: ATHRUN!!!
Athrun: KIRA!!!
Kira: ATHRUN!!!
Athrun: KIRA!!!
Kira: ATHRUN!!!
Sunrise should just stop it dead right here, unless they kill off those two (maybe CCA style, but thats just me talkin).
I`ve been noticing that lately as well...Originally posted by: Astronopolis

it brings me back to the days of Gundam Wing...and Relena and Heero conversations that occur in episodes 10-49...
but then I also noticed that they like to do this in Naruto as well...i think this "name-calling" is a new Anime trend...
I second thatOriginally posted by: Terracosmo
Word.
Give us a CCA ending!
Or Zeta ending where lots of chars are killed and main hero has his brain fried...
New? It's been around in practically all anime shows ever

Maybe I was cringing at the bad dubbing when I was younger. Before the Internet, subbed anime was rare. Well I should say before the Internet became a viable way to obtain Anime. Well that or Japanese Anime dubbed in Cantonese with Mandarin subtitles.
Anyway...it's something I've only noticed lately.
Im not sure if soemone else already posted this, but:
PHASE-45 in
xn6n;kcf0hn&o
At this point, how can ANY attack be a surprise attack? The only way I could see one being a surprise is by using the Mirage Coloid, but the Girty Lue is the only ship that activly uses that system and it is docked inside the moon base. None of you acctually believe Djbril won't be expecting a counter attack do you?Originally posted by: SFreedomZGMFx20a
PHASE-45 in?
?xn6n;kcf0hn&okWUWfDO]WfWD`LdyOGr&k?T ]j&iKWD DgcfD_*h?o& With the abrupt attack on PLANT, the battle between the EA and ZAFT at once intensify to an extreme. Then, in this intense circumstance, Shinn & co commence a surprise attack on LOGOS. Kira & Athrun feel impatient watching such a situation...
found this on animesuki forums....from DeaconSoule
"spoilers via Arsene Lupin III
if true i'm gonna love that final battle
Spoilers from Gundam Ace, et al., coming out of Japan right now seemingly back them up.
PHASE-46 "Shinjitsu no Uta" (Episode 46 "Song of Truth")
Djibril dies.
PHASE-47 "Miia" (Episode 47 "Meer")
Meer dies.
PHASE-48 "Shinsekai he" (Episode 48 "To The New World"; "To A New World")
PHASE-49 "Rei" (Episode 49 "Rey")
In the end, Cagalli stays on Earth. She holds out with Orb.
Athrun x Cagalli catastrophe? (As fueled by a reliable source and Animedia?) Does the relationship end by episode 45?
Even in the end, there is no Athrun x Cagalli.
Kira x Lacus are a couple to the end. There is no kiss, but there are other things...
Shinn x Lunamaria is also safe. However, there is no progress?
In episode 46, Kira, Lacus, and Athrun are friends [to the end, one supposes].
The operation to rescue Meer fails. Kira and Lacus do not cry. But Athrun does cry.
Djibril gets on Destroy?
The last duel is...
Rey versus Kira.
By the way, it seems the recording of dialog for episode 49 took place last Friday, August 19, 2005, Japan Time.
The recording of dialog for episode 50 apparently will take place this Friday, August 26, 2005, Japan Time."
