Its unfortunately impossible to tell if an episode is going to be completely recycled or not until you actually watch the darn thing.

And for those episodes who are half-recycled, after watching it, you felt as if you've just wasted part of your life. Though small, it adds up as the episodes pile up.

While the OP and title of this thread are overly optimistic, there still supposedly is a Seed movie on the way, and that would certainly qualify as the third part of a trilogy. And given that there are still lots of people posting on this topic, it's quite clear that there is plenty to talk about.

If you're talking about the constant (incessant! ) flashbacks, I can definitely see where you're coming from. If you're talking about the quick recap introdcutions, I can't recall very much about them, so I don't think that they were all that intrusive.

I'm not sure if most of these are that much of a deal either. Recaps are much like regular episodes in that they can be quite decent or even outright excellent if executed properly; a few of the Destiny ones - Fates and Meer - are quite good indeed. If you don't like what you're seeing in the recap, they're safe enough to skip outright. I sort of see the point if viewers are skipping through an episode to try figuring out whether any of it is new material, but I can't ever imagining doing that kind of thing myself.

This sounds a lot like "you've got to be a mecha fanatic in order to say anything about mecha anime" to me. Is there any purpose behind this kind of snobbery, or should I just go ahead and kill it all?

I don't mind showing the same flashbacks, but with the focus on different characters. Their thoughts and feelings may be different from what the other parties expect. No harm there.

Of course there was something behind it, but you're not interested anyway.

Hey you're the Gundam mod, please do what you think you want to do. Besides I've already said I'm not carrying on with anymore discussion, so you can do whatever you like.

But respect can be broken, as in this case, KLAC, who thinks he knows alot and is spouting nonsense all over the place. He loses my respect for him and thus I have to sound rude and condescending.

But you, Sir Dearka, I do respect you and acknowledge you as a mecha fan, especially since you understand that passion can bring one that far.
I feel flattered, but in my opinion you should really reconsider your approach and the way you address some people who often deserve at least basic respect instead of being called trolling morons.

As for the topic itself, I was convinced it may be used not only to speculate the "eventual" third big installment of the series, but also to comment on the whole CE in general.

We all know theyre won't probably be a third series in the nearest future. But surely, I won't give up hope about the movie. Unless something really tragic happens...

As I am new here, I am not sure if my opinion would offend anyone, but... from what I know, it is best that Gundam SEED stops right there before it's too late. Already people on Youtube are comparing GSD to the disgrace known as Twilight (And that means, mmhmm, Edward "Do I Sparkle You" Cullen = Kira "Jesus" Yamato, to these guys.), and this doesn't bid well to the Gundam-loyal community as well as the general series' reputation.

Suffice to say, GSD has already been a disgrace to the Gundam name and I'd rather stick to the Super Robot Wars canon interpretation for a better plot.

If the series push on with the third instalment, however, I'll just hope they don't name it after Mu's Akatsuki Gundam (Akatsuki = BREAKING DAWN, which brings about bad mental images).

Not that it's happenning though

How does any of that matter? If anyone is interested in a new CE show, then they should watch it if it comes out. Otherwise, they don't have to watch it. Don't worry about what other people say, including people on Youtube.

the reaction from internet about GSD is pretty bad...however I don't know the opinion from outside of internet...So I don't know what would the director think about GSD..if he thinks it like the opinion from internet (he thinks he fails XD), naturally he would want to do something classic or epic in the movie in order to save his grace...and that probably means he would put Kira to a very dangerous situation, like pushing huge rock, blocking gun shots, jump down the cliff to save Lacus etc ...and as a Kira fan, I don't want Kira to suffer similar fate like what Amuro encounters in CCA

So I don't mind if there is no new project, currently the ending is happily forever thereafter XD, and that is fine for me

(Actually now you think about it, the only problem in GSD is family issue...it's about the chairman, his "wife" and his "son" (Rey), peace comes again when that chaotic family dies together...sound cruel eh )

well what i want is more cagalli SEED mode in a strike rouge UWSP and doing something but really ill take what they can give..

The gundams in GSD were pretty cool with the Destiny, Destroy, and Gaia, i liked their design, especially Destiny.
The GSD music was great if you ask me, some of the composed pieces were really cool in AvZII.

also Kira looks better in a ZAFT uniform and even in the pilot suit, go watch the episode in Alaska and he looks cooler that with the EA suit on.

But no matter what people say about GSD, GS was still great in my book.

if only they could make Kira grew a beard & wears a ninja-like outfit, complete with his "ninjitsu" & martial art skills & pilots an N Dagger or any other ninja-related MS in the C.E. universe, & with Shin as his accidental student.

i wouldn't mind seeing a seed movie where kira dies for real without last minute miracles to save his butt. that would really spur character growth to get them to step up more. though seeing how popular he is they probably wont go that far. it would be acceptable if he was put off to the side to let others do his task istead of his stealing the show.

About the only actual official information about the Seed movie is that Sunrise is supposed to make an announcement about it sometime this year. In other words, there's nothing.
