Suffice to say that there are almost NO flat characters in SEED. It would be exhausting to go through the list of other characters, though many of them are also important and very relevant. Indeed, one might venture to say that our male protagonists depended much more on their female counterparts than the other way around, as is traditionally the case. Secondary characters like Cagalli and Lacus were also refreshing to see - female characters that had strength to stand up on their own. He was easy to relate to and never grew out of reach like Kira did. The poor guy was in constant turmoil, which was really great to see. And as soon as one conflict was resolved, another would present itself. Throughout the entire series, he was in conflict.
Kira aside, for me, Athrun was the most interesting character and had the most depth. But it worked for his character, so even though he kind of turned into a godmodding, self-righteous bastard later on, it was okay. In fact, for the first half of the series, it seriously surprised me just how much of a crybaby Kira was. After all the stoic personalities in Gundam Wing, it was incredible for me to see characters that would actually cry. Both of the protagonists are split between a side that has to fight and a side that hurt because of everything that's happening. All of them seem like real people they're complex and have emotions, motives, flaws. Yes, even the minor characters, which is definitely a rarity in anime. But by the end of it all, it isn't the basics of the story that's important, it's all the progress you've made with the characters and their own personal resolutions.ĬHARACTER - The characters in SEED probably contributed the most to gaining my favor.

Those two aspects of SEED made up for all the cliches that came with being a Gundam series - white mask's ulterior motive was nothing amazing, and the ending to the war wasn't anything special either. So many people die that at some point, you kind of started wondering if anyone was actually going to live! But despite the number of deaths, you never got the feeling that it was overdone, or that any of the characters' deaths didn't have some significance or meaning, and that's definitely a feat. People you really didn't expect to die died. Also, this series was one of the first in a long time to surprise me so much with things happening in the story. It was pretty neat to see the same conflict mirrored later with Dearka and Yzak too. For SEED, this conflict was well done, progressed smoothly, and resolved rather satisfactory. The cruelty and tragicness of pitting friend against friend works very well here, and I know I've said before that I'm just a sucker for this kind of stuff. In addition to the war, one of the strongest story points for me was the conflict between Athrun and Kira.
I'm sure more than a few people were confused, and subsequently put off, by the political madness that ravaged the plots of the original Mobile Suit Gundam, as well as newer classics like Gundam Wing, so it was nice to see something so simple come along.
The root of the war, while decidedly trivial to some extent, is simple. Of the most appealing things about SEED was its very easy-to-understand plotline. There is nothing new about Gundam SEED, but then, it deserves points for being able to stand out despite that very fact. STORY - At this point, you'd have to stretch pretty far to find a Gundam series with a mindblowingly different premise, so there's no point in really focusing on the fact that yes, this is another series about teenagers in giant robots fighting a war that's pretty pointless. I didn't expect it to become my favorite Gundam series of all time. I watched it because it was airing and convenient. Gundam SEED started off as just another Gundam series for me. Surviving the battle, Kira and his college friends join the crew of the Archangel, a ship run by the Earth Alliance, and the young soldiers experience the horrors of war and the loss that comes with it. While ZAFT manages to make off with four of the mobile suits, Kira take control of the final Gundam, the Strike. Kira Yamato is a Coordinator and university student on Heliopolis, when his life is thrown into disarray as ZAFT, the military organization composed of rebellious Coordinators, attacks the colony in an effort to steal a set of five state-of-the-art military mobile suits known as Gundams. The Naturals' deep hatred of the Coordinators drove the advanced beings into space, seeking shelter in man-made colonies. In the year Cosmic Era 0071, the space colony Heliopolis remains neutral in the great war raging across the galaxy between Coordinators, human beings whose biological traits have been altered before birth, and Naturals, unaltered people who remain on the planet Earth.
