Released in Japan 23 years after the initial Gundam series, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed (2002) introduced a new generation of viewers to the Yoshiyuki Tomino's sci-fi universe. Kira Yamoto becomes a mecha pilot when he stumbles onto the top secret GAT-X105 Strike Gundam during an attack on his home satellite-colony, Heliopolis. The Earth Alliance and ZAFT, the fighting arm of the genetically enhanced humans known as Coordinators, are at war; Heliopolis is caught between them. Because Kira is a Coordinator, he can pilot the Strike and reprogram its operating system with no training. Although he's a civilian, Kira joins the crew of the Earth Alliance ship Archangel, fighting off ZAFT attackers. But many of the "Naturals," the regular people he defends, doubt Kira's loyalty because he's a Coordinator--even when they owe their lives to his extraordinary abilities. The focus of the story is not the struggle between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT, nor the conflict between the Naturals and the Coordinators: it's the clash between Kira and his old classmate, Athrun Zala. A dedicated ZAFT officer, Athrun adheres to a space-age version of bushido, the warrior's code of honor; Kira only fights to protect his friends. These emotional entanglements provide a backdrop for the dramatic Mobile Suit battles in space, on Earth and under water. Director Mitsuo Kukada stages these CG fight sequences with a panache that makes the viewer forget how often the action violates the laws of physics. Gundam Seed provides all the elements that have made Gundam one of the most popular franchises in animation history. Material from the first 20 episodes was recut into the feature Mobile Suit Gundam Seed--The Movie. (Rated 13 and older: violence, minor profanity, brief nudity, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

 Gundam Seed, the best Gundam yet! January 23, 2008

I've watched every Gundam since I was old enough to know Gundam existed. I never really got into most of them, and my giant robot fix instead went to Robotech/Macross. That is, until a few years ago when I discovered Gundam Seed. Having seen pictures, I originally thought it looked a little too pretty. But I gave it a try, and after the first episode, I was hooked. It's not only the best Gundam, but it's a good anime in general. This and it's follow-up (Gundam Seed Destiny) are on my top ten anime series of all time. Give it a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
As far as the discs being faulty, yeah, you should probably wait until that gets cleared up. Hopefully someone let's us know when that happens. Hopefully soon. Until then, we are just getting closer to volume 2's release. As far as giving it five stars, I did so because I think the series deserves it, even if the current DVDs have problems.
 Great series, but defective discs. May 20, 2008

I read the other reviews before purchasing this set. After seeing the dates of the posted reviews, I was hoping the problem would be fixed by now. Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same issues with disc 2. Its been a while since I have watched a Gundam series, and had forgotten how fast paced and engaging the series can be. So far I am very impressed with SEED. I would give it more stars if all the discs played.
