Best Ever? I think not...

When I heard Seed was going to be a remake of the original Mobile Suit Gundam. I was a bit interested in seeing what would be done. Sadly, all I got was another Gundam Wing...

Most of the characters are gundam character cliches and highly annoying, especially Shinji Ikari wannabe Kira Yamato. All he does is whine about not wanting to fight, then goes into Seed rage killing everyone. Kruze isn't even worth calling a Char Clone, he's a Zech Merquise clone which is much worst...

The story of the series and the plot were the biggest failing points. For the first 13 episodes, were treated to A long boring, dragged out fight through space. What took the original 5 episodes to get down to Earth, it takes Seed 13 episodes. The  for the next episodes, 14-28 we're treated to not only THREE CLIP SHOW EPISODES. But alternating episodes between ACTION! ACTION! FIGHT! and Boring, nothing happening... supposited character development episodes. And then Seed takes it's big turn for the worst, trying to be unique, by being violent, and action packed and killing off secondary characters in all out unrealistic combat that makes Wing look Tame.

This is one of the three worst Gundam shows i've seen. Why can't they make better AU series like Turn-A, Gundam X, and even G-Gundam? Those shows have much potential for continuity. But alas, Sunrise and Bandai are milking Gundam the best they can with this flashy animated, full of bad J-pop, overrated and over-hyped Gundam series. Just like Wing, I don't see how people enjoy this show. I guess most people only care about flashy animation and big explosions over good characters, and original plots these days.
