And the SRW games don't say a lot about a characters popularity. Quote:
And the marriage of Shinn and Luna's voice actors did noting to the two characters, both of them have completely disappeared from any polls. This however does not mean that they are forgotten or unpopular. It just means that they are irrelevant today. It's a normal thing that popular characters fade away ones the anime ends. Only a small group of anime characters stay popular even after their show has ended, Kira is one of them.

the creators of the SRW games seem to be very opinionated in general. I remember that they got into trouble with Fukuda because they changed something in Seed or Destiny's storyline.
They seem to have quiet a bit of creative freedom (for japanese standards) in how use the source material.

Just finished watching the new episode. It looks great.
There is more new footage than what I expected. The original episode was already pretty good as they had to animate the fight scenes for the freedom and Justice for the first time, but now even Buster, the Astray's and (obviously) the Perfect Strike have new footage and it looks so smooth. Especially the use of color and shading is great. Additionally, the score has been rearranged and I have to say it's an improvement even though it wasn't really necessary.

(Killed him? trollol no > he is back a lot stronger than before you killed him.) Also VA marriage does not validate anything it's like Ed marry Winry in FMA and have 2+- kid. But Ed VA in real world = straight girl > so does that mean Ed relation in anime = no validate? |

He doesn't necessarily become a stronger pilot, but after the defat he had a bit of self reflection and changed his attitude on the battlefield and that makes him look stronger. (Even though he didn't change much after his defeat to Shinn. Probably because he didn't feel defeated.)

He did feel defeated, if you don't recall, he was sad about losing his " sword ".
Then again, his pink haired princess had it all figured out, and after a quick plot-booster combined with Strike Rogue he obtained a even stronger mobile suit than before. |

1. Knowing Kira does not hit vital parts. 2. Impulse's ability. With Destiny, he was still able to do (1), notice that Destiny wasn't disabled against Strike Freedom, but Shinn can't do (2). And then you add the fact that Kira wasn't worried about the Archangel during their second fight. So what do you get in the end? Answer: A tie until someone makes a mistake or someone else interfers. In this case, the latter happened when Rey and Athrun interfered. |

Kira can say he isn't being serious all he wants but when he got the SF at Orb both Shinn and him couldn't gain the advantage and this was after Shinn was already kicking things to the curb and just took out Cagalli.
It's like they wanted to preserve the trinity between the three mains, Kira > Athrun, Shinn > Kira, Athrun > Shinn(Seriously, where Kira and Shinn fought hard Athrun just roflstomped Shinn. Of course Shinn was far more unstable when fighting Athrun than Kira since he knew Athrun but still). - You again aren't reading what I'm saying. I said that there were improvements and it's nice people are talking about that instead of all the Flay bashing that plagued all the vids and the internet when the remaster started. Very few were mentioning the improvements than Flay has sex with Kira and everyone for some reason lets off and starts talking about the improvements. Which makes Kira into a sex Jesus since anything his SEED touches seems to be washed clean of their sins. - He's known as Kira "Jesus" Yamato for many reasons. Surviving a Nuclear explosion to the face didn't help matters. Quote:
- It's understandable why some here don't see SRW as anything big. However in Japan it's as huge as ever and is one of their most beloved franchise as well as the #1 Fan Mecha Game followed by G Gen. There's also a reason why when a series gets in SRW their sales suddenly pick up, it helps retain and revive popularity. |

Kira > Athrun, Shinn > Kira?
Last I check Kira hit Shin in last battle but Shin can't even scatch him, in other word it will take some time for Kira to defeat Shin but he can solo him. (Like game > it's hard to kill Tank fast but easy it just take a lot of time.) And like other people say > SRW > not even 1% cannon > I remamber in one srw game Rei from Evangelion start dated/going out/ with character from another series > does that mean it's cannon that Rei have boyfriend? Answer = no > It's only cannon if she have boyfriends in Evangelion. To make it simple > SRW = 0% cannon. |

What the heck are you rambling on about? No one said SRW canon takes priority. SRW canon is SRW canon, in L Shinn is a very nice guy that befriends Kira and likes him since Kira understands Shinn and helps Shinn save Stella instead of what happened in the Anime. So Anime Canon = Anime Canon. SRW Canon = SRW Canon. Neither contradicts each other because they don't give a rats ass about the other. As for Fukuda, he was not happy that SEED Destiny was so vastly changed in Z and later L. Fans seemed to love the changes far more than what the Anime did since the games portrayed Shinn is a far better light and they treated Shinn as a Main Character and Kira as a Supporting Character. As it should have been in the Anime considering SEED Destiny copied much from Zeta. |

I'm probably going to regret somewhat entering this argument, but I feel I need to chip in my views now.
As far as I'm concerned Shin was never "the" main character of Destiny. Destiny had multiple main characters, Athrun, Shin, and Kira. Athrun was the focus of the early part of the series, Shin had the longest stretch in the middle due to being the new character, and Kira shared the focus with Shin near the end. And in all honesty I feel making Shin "likeable" goes against his actual character. He was established as a rash, blunt to the point of being rude, and fiery young man. And he was established as such from as early as episode 4, long before any of the rumoured stuff in Destiny. As far as I can tell Shin's tale was always meant to be a tragedy where he was swallowed up by his own demons and personality. And that's why I like Shin. |
