I'm going to be honest here and say I'm not fond of the "retracks", I think the first versions were far stronger tracks and feel the retracks are just rather unnecessary and not needed. Out of all the things this series could benefit from the changing of it's music is, imo, not one of them.

surprisingly today's episode recap of Kira vs Athrun is using the old scene instead of the latest remaster scene

that's because using that will make the animation cheaper, Imagine if that scene was replayed ad-infinitum for the rest of the time.

Do remaster episodes come out weekly?

Should I just continue with the original episodes if I can't be bothered to wait, or is there some reason I shouldn't?

That's up to you.

There is no reason not to watch the original episodes if all you want is to know the story.

On the other, there is also no reason to watch the original episodes if you're planning to finish watching the remaster anyway. One episode a week is the norm for most TV series.

Seed was developed as a weekly show and for good reasons.

Trying to marathon through Seed is not a great Idea. A few days ago I watched all the remasterd episodes that I missed in two days time. (Episode 2 - 30) And to be honest I didn't really enjoy it. I think you already know that Seed is rather melodramatic, the characters go through a lot of development in the first part of Seed and there are a lot of things going on even with the minor characters. So for the audience all of this can be pretty taxing.

Although I must add, The pacing is kind of an issue in the first couple of arcs, story progression is noticeably slow in the first ~15 episodes. But this issue appears to be universal in Gundam. Seed is also quiet heavy on the dialogue.

But still you should try to watch it weekly, it might seem a little slow but you'll enjoy it a lot more.

I agree, if SEED and SEED Destiny ever did anything flawlessly it was the music.

Well I finally finished SEED.

Overall I'd say it was reasonably good. A lot of the characters were very interesting and relatable and there were some pretty emotional moments (Kira and Athrun genuinely trying to kill each other easily stood out). It took a while to get there though. The first few episodes were a real chore and it was only until Flay trying to manipulate Kira that things started to get interesting.

Unfortunately though, a lot of the content was also pretty boring and I found myself fast forwarding a lot of the time. There always seemed to be a lot of padding out, particularly by using flashbacks.

Plus some of the characters weren't great either. We see Yzak casually murder hundreds of civilians just because they were in the way and yet there were still moments where he was given scenes as if he was a genuine human being. And Lacus Clyne...well, I won't go into Lacus Clyne except that I'm glad she wasn't always in our face like Relena from Gundam Wing.

And there were certain plot developments that were a little cheesy and melodramatic ("Mu! I am the clone of your father!!!!") and the show takes the classic and annoying rotue of only truly giving us the context of the war, far too late. It was only in Ep 44 when they actually decided to show the ideologies behind both sides, rather than just informing us and layering on the character drama to make up for it.

And Kira surviving that blast was total BS.

But yeah, overall it was pretty enjoyable and quite ambitious. Not totally ambitious though. What would've been truly great is if they actually killed Kira after his fight with Athrun. I don't even recall Kira doing anything that couldn't have been fit into either Athrun or Cagali's role.

Overall: 7/10

Now onto Destiny.

I'd say the reveal of "MU! I AM your (clone) father!" is rather creepy than melodramatic though . Also, I think the context of the war is already pretty well-explained since early episodes especially in the episode about the very first Coordinator.

Ah, I can understand that sentiment very well. Sadly, you can only find more detail about Kira's way of survival in Gundam SEED Astray manga though.

Actually, there are a lot of things that Kira did that Athrun couldn’t do. Some examples: Kira saved Archangel and its whole crew from being blown-up by a GINN at Alaska battle. Athrun couldn’t & wouldn’t do that since Archangel is his enemy at the time. Also, don’t forget that, without Kira, Freedom would be piloted by a ZAFT member which only add more power to Patrick Zala to exterminate natural humans. Plus, without the help of Freedom + Kira, Justice would be a rubber duck for the Trio Gundams to play with. That’s just a few of many reasons why Kira is important after the decisive battle with Athrun.

Note: I don't even have to mention Cagalli. She's a natural. Her piloting skill is nowhere near Kira & Athrun. Not to mention that without Freedom + Kira's help, she would've been toasted along with her father during the ORB battle.

That episode did go some way into explaining things (Though even then we're still talking about 14 episodes into the show), but in the ned it still felt a little too informed. I wanted to feel why they went into war, not told. To me that only really happened in Episode 44/45

I think if they shuffled events around just a bit, Athrun could have a long talk with Cagali and then get to have an even longer talk with Lacus Clyne and be the one Lacus gives Freedom to. Though I suppose it would have to be built up a bit beforehand. But only a bit.

I'm thinking there wouldn't be a Justice at all and Athrun pilots the Freedom (And if you're aghast at the thought of Athrun not piloting something red then it could be Justice instead, just so long as there's only one of them). I'm also thinking that Athrun would fight the Trio Gundams with more strategy involved than just them beam spanning one another. And Mu and Dearka could've been given bigger roles than just cleaning the mooks.

She is? I'm pretty sure I remember her going into Seed mode near the end.

Having the SEED doesn't require being a Coordinator.

You...what?

Okay now I'm confused. Did I miss something in one the episodes or are you guys screwing with me?

The SEED factor Erica mentioned in the one episode is separate from being a Natural or Coordinator. Either can have it, which is why Cagalli and Kira both have it. Cagalli is a Natural, and Kira is a Coordinator, but their DNA came from the same place.
