Instead I’ve found myself pulled in by the storyline, the characters, and to some extent, the awkward setting. I’m sure that if I went back and watched Mobile Suit Gundam (it has been a while) I would bitch about them ripping off the original. Protagonist and friends spend some time in space/on Earth then make a narrow escape to Earth/space. Guy meets girl, guy meets Gundam, guy proceeds to be the savior for a small group of otherwise inexperienced shipmates. While certainly not up to Gundam Unicorn standards it still felt greater than any fading memories of Gundam AGE, which I struggle to remember.įrom the start SEED picks up a lot of familiar Gundam tropes. Having no idea what to expect aside from years of reading SEED bashers online I was greatly surprised how good SEED started off. Gundam SEED started off fun and engaging. Really though, the entire thing was just a way to squeeze more cash out of a successful (in Japan, at least) program.Īfter finishing the first 13 episodes I'm not quite sure where where to begin. If Bandai/Sunrise felt the need to go back and redo everything then they must have done a horrible job (and why subject myself?). I'm going to start the new "remastered: series. Is it as bad as I recall? Was I looking at it too much through rosy UC glasses? Will I discover anyone in Northern America who actually likes the program?

Oh, you want more? Well here it is with a horrible mohawk contraption." With such fragmented memories I thought it appropriate to reintroduce myself to the series and rewatch Gundam SEED. We just messed with the shapes and added some spikes here and there. Where the Strike was a classy remake the want-to-be Zaku's and like looked as though they were styled by a child. The enemy grunt units though, man how I hated them (and still do). There was also the four legged suit which I liked the design of until I saw how poorly it was used in the series. The suits I remember a bit more, especially the Strike Gundam, which I consider to be one of the best all time Gundam designs (I have two PG Strike kits). My memory tells me that the characters were pretty unlikable even as the story pretty much took its plot points straight from Mobile Suit Gundam. I watched it for a long time, just how far into the series I don't remember. I can tell you that I watched it when it first aired almost a decade ago.
The short of it is, I don't quite remember much about Gundam SEED. Chances are I'd also mention how much I loath Hisashi Hirai's character art while I was at it. If you asked why I would respond with, "the characters were awful," then proceed to give some vague remembrances from years past before mumbling off. If you asked me my thoughts on Gundam SEED I would quickly tell you I don't like it.
