DESTINY Kira, at any rate.
^Is it true that he is STILL at the top of all anime shounen lists in Japan or something?
I'm actually totally pumped about the idea of a SEED film to finish it up if they ever get to making it. As bad as Destiny is, that world and those mechs (sans Strike Freedom) are still cool.

Why do the ladies like Kira? Destiny proved that Athrun is the true ladies man of SEED with how every woman in his age range wanted Athrun's D.I'm not sure about currently, but I definitely recall seeing that as recently as a year ago. Also, those lists typically are only from female fans. The ladies love Kira. Why, I can't say I know.

Shinn was a poor mans Kamille Bidan. Half the characterization and none of the bishounen charm.I'm happy to see Shinn isn't even in the conversation. lol
That honor still goes to "Banana" Links to me, but it's not even worth a debate. I was never on the Kira bandwagon and I pretty much set the damn thing on fire after Destiny since you couldn't even fucking logically argue with Kira. Athrun was right in many situations and Kira just turns to him and says, "Cagali is crying," fuck off Kira.Kira was the blandest protagonist in the history of Gundam, which is an achievement on its own.

We're finally getting a hefty lead Gundam? Thank lord for that.
You wait for the entire series for Shinn to receive an ass kicking on the level of this:Incredibly unlikable too. Whereas Kamille grew from his whininess into a sharper and more mature attitude, Shin just grew to become an even bigger clueless dickhead.
Dude watch Zeta it's great. Great music, mech designs and waifus.I really need to get around to watching Zeta some day. I've tended to be lukewarm on the UC stuff since it always just boils down to the same old Zeon Vs Earth Federation battle most of the time it felt like.
And I had no idea Yoshino was a writer on Guilty Crown, which is even more worrying. I knew Okouchi was on that show but not him. That show is one of the best examples of wasted potential I can recall on recent memory.
I guess what I am looking for is another "flagship" title. I don't keep up with the series but I always viewed Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed and Gundam 00 as mainline titles and the rest as spinoffs. AGE is clearly a spinoff. G Reconguista looks like a spinoff too. I'm not sure about Universal Century since I can't find it on MAL. If you meant Gundam Unicorn, that actually looks pretty good. I'll definitely give it a try.Recently there's G Reconguista which had 26 episodes, and AGE which had 49 and a movie. I haven't seen G Reco but it's not suppose to be great. AGE is hit or miss, you might like it, you might hate it, you might like certain sections of it but not others.
Watch Universal Century or at least the highlights of it.
We can see the entire right arm now. Wonder if they'll be exposing the right shoulder next or the left arm instead.

How does a non Japanese speaking western American baka gaijin go about playing one of these?If you want the real version of SEED Destiny, play SRW Z. Shinn is effectively made the main character, Athrun is better portrayed (thus improving Shinn in personality), Cagalli is actually competent, and everybody knows Kira is an asshole, just to name a few changes. (Tetsuya from Mazinger calls him a "holier-than-thou jackass who thinks he's better than everybody".)
He really needs to watch ALL of UC before he watches Unicorn at least the main stuff up until ZZ since a lot of ZZ is actually in Unicorn.![]()
You're seriously missing out on some great iconic moments if that's the case.
NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooIt isn't.
But I'd say it's still more tolerable than AGE, for example.
Just that the first GBF was surprisingly good and Try was...surprisingly generic.

AGE was the worst*, but was expected given that whatever Hino touches turns to shit.Last Gundam series I really liked was 00, though Unicorn and AGE were pretty good as well for the most part. Not really going to count Build Fighters, but it was entertaining.
Couldn't stand Reconquista though, so hopefully they'll do a better job with this.
Ah yes, Jesus Yamato.If Gundam's gonna have a Cena, it's gotta be Kira Fucking Gary Stu Yamato.
The only way that Destiny turns into a watchable,There was a theory I read somewhere - most likely as a joke - that Lacus is some sort of Darth Sidious character behind the scenes.
I'd actually love for that to be a thing if they do get around to doing that film.
The only times I actually wanted to punch an animated character, was Kira for the entirety of Destiny.Shinn was a poor mans Kamille Bidan. Half the characterization and none of the bishounen charm.

I so wish those games would be brought over. I hear they changed stuff with Code Geass too.
Athrun was even given the better Gundams and character arc. I love how he's the "Quattro" in Destiny, shit was hilarious. Kira just fucked shit up in the name of blind justice without thinking about everything.The only times I actually wanted to punch an animated character, was Kira for the entirety of Destiny.
Athrun is the true hero and secret main character of the SEED universe.
There's a translation guide for one of the routes. But that's it. EDIT: There's an LP on SA, though.How does a non Japanese speaking western American baka gaijin go about playing one of these?
He even tried the shades and the fake name for a bit as well. Alex Dino... as someone with the same last name, that's not swag enough Athrun!Athrun was even given the better Gundams and character arc. I love how he's the "Quattro" in Destiny, shit was hilarious.
Dude should've tried "Cinco Labia" or some shit.He even tried the shades and the fake name for a bit as well. Alex Dino... as someone with the same last name, that's not swag enough Athrun!![]()
Lol, what do you have to do to get slapped by Shinji?There's a translation guide for one of the routes. But that's it. EDIT: There's an LP on SA, though.
Oh, and I forgot to mention one of the best parts -- Kira once gets slapped by Shinji Ikari from Evangelion because he cheesed him off that much!
Agreed.Dude should've tried "Cinco Labia" or some shit.
I hope this new Gundam series is similar to 080 War in the Pocket. That's my favorite Gundam series.
I think half the fanbase would've just died laughing hearing Lunamaria call him "Cinco Labia-senpai."Agreed.

The Code Geass plot is fairly intact, but the Geass characters are very important in the overall story -- the hero organization of Z2, ZEXIS, is formed and led by Lelouch, for example. Makes sense, since a lot of Geass characters are politicians/commanders.I so wish those games would be brought over. I hear they changed stuff with Code Geass too.
I think the only remote explanation is that the higher ranking officers are usually still teenagers in Gundam. Zechs, Treize and Noin were probably the same age as the people beneath them. But I see exactly what you're talking about. Who are even the oldest people to serve in Gundam? I can only think of Norris Packard, Lieutenant Burning, the Geezers in Victory other than that I'm drawing a blank...probably that insane dude that manipulated the queen in Victory as well as the guy that Gato served, Zinnerman in Unicorn![]()
On a random note, one thing that irks me is when military personnel in anime, especially Gundam, call higher ranking officials by their rank and first name. Wtf, we never did that in the army. We'd get Bright slapped for that! XD
Although hearing Lieutenant Vagina all throughout Zeta would've been rather interesting, heh.
Dude watch Zeta it's great. Great music, mech designs and waifus.
Zeta does have the gimmick of making the Zeon look like the lesser evil for once, at least compared to the Titans and their fascist behavior. Some of the robot designs are great, but others just scream that they wanted the Macross/transforming robot audience at any cost. It's still worth watching, though often put on too high of a pedestal in the grand scheme of things.
Which is odd since Yoshino was the main guy on Guilty Crown and that's probably his worst show ever. Shu and Inori were terrible characters and dragged down any potential it could have had. But, like I said before, Yoshino also did the series composition for Macross Frontier and even co-wrote the movies with Kawamori (who isn't that hot of a writer either, truth be told). Which didn't exactly ruin the property forever or anything.
In that case it's nothing too radical. The single biggest change was give you the chance to save a few people and makingan option near the end so you can keep everyone on the same side. Which is nice, but not something that bothered me. If that's not one of your issues with the show, then you might not see such a big difference."trust Zero"

And Geass is tied together with the other series, too, of course. e.g., the Union from Gundam 00 is controlled by the Britannian Empire, while the Chinese Federation is controlled by the Human Reform League.

Thank you. I will watch the UC ones that you listed before Unicorn. I hope they hold up well.You didn't find Universal Century on MAL because it is the timeline for multiple shows, I probably should have made sure you knew that before, my bad. Technically the series is split into multiple universes or timelines with the Universal Century timeline being the main story of Gundam and the others being alternate timelines.
Wing, 00, and Seed all fall under alternate timelines as do AGE and G Reco. There are a lot of shows in the U.C. timeline, I haven't seen them all and other people could tell you more about any of them than I could. That being said of the U.C. shows you should consider are the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, Gundam ZZ, 0080: War in the Pocket, The 08th MS Team, and Unicorn.
Unicorn is probably the most of what you're looking for in similarities to the other shows, but it's short and wraps up the end of the U.C. story. While you could enjoy it without watching the rest you might get more out of it by seeing or at least reading about the events of the Universal Century.
Also if you haven't all ready seen Endless Waltz check it out since it is the Wing movie.
Thank you. I will watch the UC ones that you listed before Unicorn. I hope they hold up well.
Kira was the blandest protagonist in the history of Gundam, which is an achievement on its own.
