Gundam SEED - 12
Wow, I have to say, I'm really enjoying this series so far. Like, I knew Kira was going to stay, but I didn't expect him to be the last one to agree to do so. If anything I expected him to be the first one to stand up and announce that he wanted to stay and continue to protect the people just like that. But no, instead they keep his character with how he doesn't want to fight and have him about to leave only for his friends to tell him that they're staying because Flay decided to join the military.
I like the look on his face in the last shot before the ED. He doesn't look like some determined hero getting ready to save the day. He looks like he's unsure if what he just did was the right thing to do, because this was purely his choice this time. Did he make a good or bad decision? Only time will tell for him, so he keeps going.
Definitely enjoying where they're going with this show so far. Sure the whole situation and conflict of the show feels a lot like Code Geass, but I think this show is doing a better job of capturing that "serious" feel that Geass tried to do before it descended into hilarious madness, and I hope this show stays the way it's been.
