The meeting with Kira and Athrun was reasonably well done but Athrun never really addressed the problem of the attempted assassination of Lacus Clyne. He just said that it being the Chairman is jumping to conclusions. Whilst that may be true, Kira and Lacus have to consider all options so they're perfectly right not to trust the Chairman just yet. Their lives are on the line after all. Athrun should've promised that the assassination would be investigated.

Episode 28

I don't like the way they've made Kira so much stronger than Athrun (I thought they were equals?) but that was still a very good episode. Brutality and tragedy all round.
Something I noted some time ago is that the Archangel was actually the weakest ship during Destiny. They barely have mobile suits and no back ups so they are only able to try talking with others and escaping when failing in their task. This weakness is why they are weaker. In the Special Edition films, Durandal predicts Kira's involvement in the war shortly after the appearance of the Coordinators that tried killing Lacus and has plans for Shinn facing him.

Kira's characterization in comparison with Athrun may possibly be due to all he went through in SEED and managed to find a solution to his pain in the last seconds of his fight against Rau whereas Athrun almost killed himself in the finale since he was fighting for personal reasons and ended with questions that Durandal appears to be able to answer. Kira still has some scenes where he is shown weaked but they are short lived. When people compare Athrun with Quattro, I note that Athrun is not piloting a golden mobile suit like Quattro's Hyaku Shiki but a red one like Aegis and Justice and so he acts more like a rival still having problems and not a mentor.

I didn’t come up with that out of nothing. Uzumi hiself said in those ORB episodes that he wants the world to see that ORB will not easily oppressed by other nation.

I’m not crying foul asking for them to show the conflict among the people in ORB. I was wondering why the show never adressed it directly/head-on about what people of ORB thought about that Deal Orb is making. The “happy crowd” during the wedding prove nothing about people’s opinion about the deal. Once again, I’m not asking for a confirmed riot/conflict within ORB. I’m asking why the show didn't address people’s opinion whether it’s positive or negative. I thought what I said about this matter was pretty simple to understand. (see the bolded parts, you're the one that keep badmouthing my opinion)

*sigh* again? IMO since ORB is already lost, Uzumi consider Cagalli to be the last shred of the embodiment of ORB’s ideal which has greater meaning than a mere daughter. She is his last hope, so he saved her. At least he thought of it like that. His heart is still for his country at that point. Like it or not, he already did the best he could according to him. And I just happen to agree with what he did.

I didn't say they evacuated the country. The fact is, some civilians are already evacuating. And the AF didn't target civillian-populated areas IIRC.

When losing is already clear and there's a better things to save which also represent ORB's ideal, Uzumi simply take the better alternative.

Let’s see Freedom and Justice already facing difficulties fighting the trio Gundams. While they keep those two busy, the AF still have lots of battleships, carriers, fighter planes and a horde of Daggers. ORB already lost many of its battleships and Astrays. It’s gonna be too tough for ahandful of Astrays and Strike and Buster to face them all (this isn’t space where MSs can move freely destroying battleships). So no, I don’t think they had a chance and Uzumi knew it too.

So? I have a problem with how they depict some ORB people and that's that.

Another twisting of my words? Not what she thinks she knows, she knows about the simple fact that Minerva was fighting those who drop Junius 7.

The answer is simple: Because it's not relevant to the story.

Orb chose to join the Alliance this time, and that's all there is to it. Don't try to make this something more complicated than it really is.

Like I said before, this is more like a change in foreign policy rather than something as grand as ending democracy in the USA. You just have to get over that misguided idea because the show certainly doesn't treat it as such.

Like I said, you have your opinion, I have mine. For me, ORB’s ideals (neutrality) originated from SEED is fundamental just like democracy (mind you that my country also has democracy, so I know what it is). The long peaceful stable life enjoyed by Kira and his friends while other countries already waging wars is a testament to that (then comes episode 1 of SEED with the reveal of a backdoor dealing that ruined the peace). Then Destiny make a situation where those ideals no longer regarded by the majority of ORB’s people only to give us more conflict within Cagalli’s leadership. That’s what I don’t like about Destiny among other things. I may sound like this, but I also acknowledged your opinion until you keep badmouthing mine.

It's not my opinion. It's what the show presented to us.

There are many factors that contribute to that. But, in general, any country that is at peace will provide a peaceful life for its citizens. In case you've forgotten, Orb isn't the only neutral country in the Cosmic Era universe.

Actually, I have never had any problem with what you like/dislike. If that's how I came across to you, then I apologize.

Where I disagree with you has always been how you place Orb's ideals as something more than what it really is. I don't deny that these ideals are important to Orb, but things can and do change. Orb's ideals have simply never been presented in both SEED and Destiny as something that would utterly change the nation so drastically if it were changed/abandoned.

And what I take from the show is that it presented to us through Uzumi’s speeches and conversations that those ideals of neutrality has been the soul of ORB and it helps maintaining the peace and stability all those years. It’s just, for every ideals, there are some rough time where other group of people will challenge you because of it. Of course, how much those ideals means for each person in ORB may vary, but doesn’t change the fact that it helps shape the country of ORB which makes it fundamental to me. Then, ORB people in Destiny simply discarded it like some trash policy *sigh*. Well, that’s what I get from the show, while you simply get different thing.

Except when it doesn't, like in SEED.

The problem with Orb's ideals is that it only takes an enemy like the AF to shatter that peace and stability. Orb experienced first hand in SEED how their ideals meant nothing to the AF.

So in Destiny, the Seirans sought for a better outcome. They joined the alliance and, yes, they had the obligation to share their military troops. But, in exchange, the country did maintain its stability.

That would be exactly 34 years after MSG's first episode aired. I guess that's their excuse for not waiting until 2014. But I guess they couldn't wait.

Some stability. It brought the war right to their doorstep AGAIN, which they were hoping to avoid.

With the world being as it is, they couldn't avoid the war.

I guess Orb's ideals is simply not maintainable during a world war scenario. One way or another, Orb will get roped in.

Which doesn't mean that the ideals are bad. Sometimes, there are some jerks (like Federation) who just want to give you nothing but trouble. You just have to stand your ground and fight against those kind of people. Granting their selfish request will only strengthen their arrogance and power which basically a very bad thing for those who upholds human rights and sovereignty of the nations (Plus, in case of SEED, you're helping a genocide).

Sure, but when all options seem to be bad, the people can only look to their leaders to help them get through this situation.

Unfortunately for Cagalli, most of the current Orb leaders in her time chose to side with the Alliance.

It's nonsense. Completely unfounded internet rummer started by a certain member of this forum whose name I will not mention. However, it is true (and quite obvious) that Destiny had some major and minor production issues, because the director failed to mobilize his staff effectively.

On a different note, does anyone have a list of the crew that worked on the Seed remaster? The new stock animations were quite nice.

Spoiler for text:


TLR

they where really " demanding " of their VA's (Lacus, Cagallis, and so on) and that ended up with arguments between Naomi Shindo and Fuku/Moro, and it resulted in Cagalli's character being butchered and Naomi refusing to work with Morosawa.

Just google around and i'm sure you'll find more info

Well, the show is over, so that is not surprising.
