Surprisingly significant and unexpected character death was one of the greatest merits I found in SEED, and Destiny tried to perform the same tricks. (If SEED already had a few recycled storyline elements, then certainly Destiny has them in spades.) The basis for the new war seems trivial compared to the previous, and all the countries far too eager to participate in the conflict considering their hard-won peace. Destiny seems to try too hard in mirroring many circumstances and storylines already present in SEED, making them seem forced, unoriginal, and repetitious. And that's me admitting to my bias upfront. Admittedly, it is near-impossible for me to view Destiny as a standalone series, and as a huge fan of SEED, I know I'm prone to being a lot more critical than usual on its sequel.
So yeah, we're not off to a great start here.
GUNDAM SEED DESTINY REMASTERED CLOSING SERIES
And it has to be a cheap and forced-feeling destruction because there's hardly two year's difference between the end of the first series and the start of the sequel since they wanted to reuse a majority Thus, SEED had resolution, and the only way for Destiny to begin is by destroying that resolution. Think about it - all Gundam series start with war and end with resolution. STORY - The fact that this is a direct sequel to a Gundam series already puts Destiny's story at a disadvantage. Sometimes, sequels to popular series work. Athrun must steer the young pilot towards a mindset of mercy before his rage and desire for vengeance consumes him. Shinn works his way up through the ZAFT military forces, eventually gaining access to the cockpit of the prototype Impulse mobile suit.Īthrun Zala, a veteran of the recent war employed in the service of diplomat Cagalli Yula Athha, finds himself drawn into a new conflict between the Naturals and the Coordinators: human beings artificially enhanced before birth and hated by the Naturals for their biological advantages.Īs the new war rears its head and violence becomes inevitable, Athrun finds himself as a mentor to the bitter Shinn. Shinn Asuka finds his entire family killed as casualties of the violence, and swears his life toward a vengeful pursuit of the Earth's Natural forces, under the impression they were the ones responsible for his family's death. In the year Cosmic Era 0071, a wartime brawl between two mobile suits results in the destruction of a neutral country.
