Athrun and Cagalli - any hope?

[cyoti]

What exactly was the original point of pairing Athrun with Cagalli anyways other than the fact that she was Kira's biological sister?

Meyrin and Athrun seems to make more sense giving that the rest of the pairings in GSD between Kira and Lacus and Shinn and Lunamaria were between coordiantors.

As true as that may be, I think the Athrun and Cagalli pairing was a good thing due to the fact that it shows that coordinators and naturals can more than just co-exist, but love each other.

I approve of that statement.

That's what I believe should've been done, too.

[kira-sama]

i like asucaga pairing because they much like a couple

[mikyu]

hmm yeah that's a point, if they would focus a bit more about asucaga then the coordinator/natural thing would be in the center again. since the war was acutally about that (in GSD naturals and coordinators are suddenly friendly to each other o.O)

I always wondered what happen when cagalli makes it public that she's in love with a coordinator and has a coordinator brother ...

The necessity of Coordinator-Natural co-existence may have been a point in Gundam Seed, but it certain wasn't in GSD imo so I think it's quite understandable why the writers had Athrun switch over to Meyrin given that the story in GSD had more emphasis imo on the internal conflict between the coordinators rather than that between naturals and coordinators.

@ cyoti

you sound like it's already fact that athurn is with meyrin ...
well however, i just hope that there won't be a asucaga asumey fight here

btw. it's a shame that GSD suddenly changed to "we have to fight the evil weapon producers", the coordinator/natural war was more interesting

Yeah, it tried to be too much like a, dare I say, "whiney liberal" in GSD.

Oh, those corporations....

I fully agree that the Coordinator/Natural war was more interesting than the LOGOS crap.

[gundam wizard nite]

there is no hope but sometimes thins change

[Eidolon Sniper]

Coordinators and Naturals friendly to each other in GSD? O.o;; Um, maybe if that happened, there would be no "Dully orchestrated war" to begin with...in other words, no GSD...

Um, that's not really the point.

It's a small step towards showing that Naturals and Coordinators can reconcile...

LOL what are you guys arguing about? Cagalli Yula Athha was more or less removed as a major character because the VA Naomi Shindō pissed off the producer/writer. She never had a line since episode 45.

speculation and a rumor

They can always find a new seiyuu :P. Removing Cagalli as a major character is like ruling out all of orb in the movie. I don't think that's going to happen as they have played a major role in the first two parts.

[kira-sama]

for me i think the producer/waiter are so childish
just only that they make nami shindou hadn't a line since episode 45

that's why many people hate the producer in this GSD and the producer wife (if i'm not wrong)

Mitsuo Fukuda is the director, and Chiaki Morosawa, his wife, is the scriptwriter. They suck, really.

[Eidolon Sniper]

Athrun and Cagalli didn't reconcile either, their relationship is hanging in the balance mid series, and then it was left hanging. And it's more of a duty bound thing that is why they can't be together. Added to the problem of them being different, a Natural and a Coordinator. If that isn't any indication of unresolved issues between the Coordinators and the Naturals (their beliefs, etc.) then I don't know what is...and what they had in Destiny was just a prelude of things to come.

Fukuda doesn't suck, contrary to "popular *forum* belief" - He was responsible for the excellent SEED series after all, which I thought was a fresh new spin on the old UC tale - the theme was changed to suit modern tastes, and brought a whole new fanbase into Gundam - certain people wish to ignore this, and blame Fukuda for putting elements into GS/GSD which they didn't like, immediately making claims about Fukuda's supposed incompetence.

His wife, Morosawa however, is fairly mediocre in my opinion. . From information I've gleamed though, it seems she's fairly good with interesting relationships; GSD had a bit of a bungle when it came to meshing the relationships and the main story together.

But that doesn't make Fukuda a bad director, but I reckon he needs to realise that sometimes he has to seperate his artistic works from his personal life, and make a decision with that in mind - there's better people for the job out there, I think.

[Phantom-Takaya]

I have no qualms with Fukuda other than the choice he made as his screenwriter for Destiny. As already said, the interrelationship story and plot seemed like a total chaos about ready to explode. As one of the audiences, I felt I was losing focus on the story of what Destiny was really meant to be about.

But, this isn't about that. It's about whether Cagalli and Athrun has a chance of getting back together. With the popularity of the series having gone down, we may never find out.

I know. he had done a good job in SEED but in Destiny? He have done a horrible job. I hope in the movie, he'll make it better. Sheesh....
