Product Description
After the Bloody Valentine War, an uneasy truce has settled between the PLANTS space colonies and the nations of the Atlantic Federation, but when a g
Amazon.com
The follow-up to the popular Gundam Seed (2002), Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny (2004) takes place two years later, in year 73 of the Cosmic Era. Hot-headed Shin Asuka, whose family was killed during the previous war, becomes the pilot of the Impulse, the latest and most complex Gundam, which assembles itself in midair. Athrun Zala, the hero of Gundam Seed, has given up combat duty, but by the end of Episode #5, he's back where he belongs: in the cockpit of the aptly named Gundam Savior. The conflict between the Naturals and the genetically enhanced Coordinators remains the underlying cause of the political conflicts. Renegade Coordinators disturb the orbit of the asteroid Junius 7, positioning it to strike the Earth. Shin, Athrun and other Mobile Suit pilots destroy as much of Junius as they can, saving the world from complete destruction. But the enormous devastation precipitates a declaration of war from the Earth Alliance against ZAFT and the satellite worlds of the PLANTs. Characters and mecha from Gundam Seed join the new cast in a complicated series of political and military maneuvers, highlighted by the rip-roaring Mobile Suit battles. Director Mitsuo Fukuda skillfully blends CG and traditional animation to give the fights in space, under water, and on land their maximum pizzazz. The endless flashbacks and the clips from Gundam Seed occupy so much time that when Shin and the ZAFT forces find the secret biological lab where children were mutated into the cyborg pilots Sting, Auel, and Stella, it feels like an afterthought, rather than the climax of the first half of the story. Gundam Seed Destiny reflects contemporary political issue more clearly than any other entry in the long-running Gundam continuity. The revolt of the indigenous people of Western Eurasia against the Earth Alliance Forces; the mounting chorus to purge Coordinators from "our pure and blue world;" and ZAFT Chairman Durandal's lengthy denunciation of defense contractors who foment wars to increase profits have a disquietingly familiar ring.

This series comes right after Gundam SEED. But BEWARE!!! This sequel is FULL of parodies of what happened in Gundam SEED. The main character Shinn can be very annoying and there were some major parts of the plot I thought were really ridiculous. I won't spoil it and say what those are, but I'm SERIOUSLY hoping the rumored Gundam SEED movie fixes these. One romance in particular got seriously screwed by whoever wrote the plot.
I give the series a 3 because, despite all that, it was still pretty good. The animation is beautiful, the JAPANESE voice cast is fantastic and the music is great. (Except for the last opening credit, C'mon!)Not to mention it shows us our favorite characters from Gundam SEED and some of the amazing (and yes, some STUPID) things they do.
Seriously...what was Sunrise thinking with this sequel? February 9, 2010

First, to all those five star raters... have you guys seen Gundam Seed? The first series? I mean really... because if you have then how can you justify giving this five stars?
Well now to my point: This is basically a sequel to Gundam Seed, but with nearly the exact storyline and plot threads. The same events that took place in Gundam Seed seem to be happening all over again. Athrun goes back to Zaft, he and Kira fight, dead characters from the first series show back up, the Archangel pisses of both Zaft and the Earth forces and gets in the middle of the conflict. Zaft even uses Genesis... AGAIN! And the Blue Cosmos has a new leader surprisingly similar to the last one.
Overall there are some good qualities and if the story wasn't what appears to be a first draft of the first series just reedited slightly then this would stand as a great series. The intro music is really the only music of quality. most of the music cut into the actual episodes pales in comparison to that in Seed. The writers even drive a wedge between what was one of the better romantic hook ups in Gundam history!
If you MUST watch this series, then PLEASE watch Gundam Seed first or this will completely ruin what is one of the most amazing series ever (referring to Gundam Seed here not Destiny). Please also watch with Japanese voice and English subtitles. But again... please please please watch Gundam Seed first!
Far exceeds expectations June 30, 2009
Stephen (Shenandoah, PA)
As the title suggests, this anime far exceeds my initial expectations. Having seen War in the Pocket, Stardust Memories, Gundam Wing and a few others, I'm no stranger to this genre but I had my reservations about this anime due to disc complaints and possible over dramatization.
Thankfully, I did not have disc problems. I did notice a few minor scratches and expected the worse, but they were dragons I never had to slay. In regards to drama, this anime is emotionally charged, but in a good way.
This is a well conceived anime to the point where you will be pulled through a large range of emotions as a result of how the show unfolds. You'll find yourself anxious, frustrated, happy, sad - the whole gambit. I'm not into spoilers, so I'll merely say there were points where I almost looked up what happens online because I couldn't view the episodes fast enough - that's how engaging it is.
If you purchase gundam seed (vol 1 and 2), I (highly) recommend purchasing gundam seed destiny (vol 1 and 2) along with it. Destiny is a direct sequel to seed and equally as good as the first show. I found it highly enjoyable and look forward to any possible new gundam series.
Very good anime June 21, 2009

The Gundam Seed Destiny Anime Legends, Vol. 1 contain the first 26 episodes of the serie. This serie is very good.
