 Bonding Time for Shinn and Athrun August 17, 2008
R. Burleson
The four episodes on this disk are essentially of Shinn and Athrun getting to know each other before the major events occur later on in the series. There's plenty of foreshadowing of what Athrun will do later on in the series within the dialogue.
Fanboys of Kira Yamato will be disapointed because in this volume his character once again takes a back seat as opposed to the last two episodes in volume three when he took center stage. In two of the episodes on this volume he doesn't appear at all. Anyway in the first episode we see Cagalli yelling at Kira, Lacus, Murrue Ramius and Andrew Waltfeld for apprehending her during her wedding in the previous episode. They don't spell out exactly what the Archangel is going to do but most fans can take a guess. The rest of the episode is basically Athrun showing up to be part of the Minerva Crew with the Saviour Gundam. Lunamaria having a crush on Athrun is happy to see him, but Shinn isn't thrilled at all that he must now acknowledge him as an equal. Athrun also learns about Cagalli's wedding and kidnapping.
The second episode is easily the best of the volume and one of the best episodes of the entire series. The three Earth forces pilots, Sting, Auel and Stella along with their leader Neo Roanoke return to defeat the Minerva. The action was excellent! The whole situation surrounding Shinn was interesting. He saved civilians being forced into slave labor, but he disobeyed orders. Given that is was Athrun telling Shinn off I kind of agree with what Shinn did. When Athrun was fighting the Chaos Gundam it felt like he was holding back, meaning he spent more time evading, dodging rather than attacking. A very good episode.
The third episode was really a transitional one, setting up the next episode with all the action. The scene when two crew members of the Minerva commenting on Lacus's (Meer's) body, how lucky Athrun is to be engaged to her and joking about how easy it would be to cut some of the Saviour Gundam's wires with Athrun stating he could hear them was funny. The only relevant thing to come out of this episode was the last few minutes with Shinn and Athrun conversing. Shinn points out that there's really no reason for Athrun to be with ZAFT. Given how Athrun acts through out most of this volume Shinn makes sense. Besides Athrun being the bridge between the new and old characters for the sake of the plot Athrun's actions don't make since till later on.
The last episode isn't as good as the second but still good fun. Being a Shinn fan doesn't mean I don't acknowledge that he has flaws. I'm not a diehard fanboy, Shinn does act immature every so often. Still I'd rather listen to him brag then Kira's 'Holier than Thou' attitude.
Really another great volume of Gundam Seed Destiny that you must see!

The plot heats up in this volume and I would absolutely suggest you pick it up. You wont be dissappointed. And for any sckeptics out there, know that the first half of Seed Destiny is the best.

I bought the movie for my kids ages 8,11 and 19 and they loved it! My husband actually watched it with them and completely enjoyed it also.

ok, so strait up, i am a fan of (most of) the gundam franchise.
i enjoy the telling and re-telling of what, in the original release gundam series was obviously a derivation of the story of World War II. for the most part it remains the same as it always has been in terms of the story itself.
With gundam SEED however, new wrinkles such as excellent character developement and the enriched quality of story-telling which is for the most part only surpassed by the quality of the art (the entire series being considered to be this art) as a whole can bee seen.
The story of Gundam SEED: Destiny is as much about Shin Asuka as it is about Athrun Zala and toward the end of the series is much more about establishing a greater understanding of the strength of Athrun's relationship with Kira Yamato (the protagonist of Gundam SEED) even in their divergent paths in their own lives, and about what it means to fight, and to have something for which to fight than it is specifically about Shin.
I enjoyed Seed Destiny both because SEED (the core show) is my favorite rendition of the Gundam story to date (out of a reminiscence for that which i care greatly) and because the story itself is much darker. it is to Gundam SEED what Stardust Memory is to the original Gundam series, more/less.
all of "our heroes" both in ZAFT and OMNI (the earth federation's space-bourne military from whom Kira fights in SEED) have grown up, and the world has with them.
anyway, its all very refreshing, and all of the characters fit their rolls very well and for the most part are likable. i must confess, i have not seen (nor do i care to) the english dub, as it was HORRID(!) in the english release of Gundam SEED (almost all of the anime i watch is either fan-subbed, or i speak enough japanese to follow it without subs when they arent available. generally i frown on dubbing unless great care is taken, however, if the only way you are going to experience this great series is dubbed, so be it.
