Many people recommended Gundam Seed first if I'm going for the worst to best.

50 episodes? Oh lord, this is gonna be a long month.

At least SEED is better than SEED Destiny. DSK's currently thinking Shinn, the hero for the first half of SD, is manly and badass in Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, ROFL. Wait till he sees him in the show. Shinn is the worst character in all of SEED's universe. He's friggen angst-driven for his goals and his endless stock footage of his damn family dying become laughable(is there not one episode that doesn't show his sister dying/mobile phone message playing?). Seriously, SEED Destiny = Destination to stock footage, glad he gets OHKO'd by Athrun at the end and then cries(literally) like a bitch.

As lame as Kira was during the first half of SEED, at least he's even better than he is during the last half of SEED in SD. Shinn, pfft. The only good quality of his is the fact he's voiced by the same voice actor as Van from Zoids.

Well the reason they recommended SEED so I could SEED Destiny right after. It seems general consensus is that SEED Destiny is the worst and SEED is next worst.

I think you'll enjoy SEED mostly though, SD's the one that will make you want to kill yourself. SEED's real problem is the fact it was made in that early 2000s decade phase, so the corny "weabooness" like its intros is all over the damn series. That and Kira's stupid speeches about not wanting to fight. =P It's only when Kira gets Freedom where he's a decent character IMO, all before that is just "rookie" mistakes and "issues". >_>

By the way, how is Shinn in the game? Does he act totally different in the game?

DSK says that he argues with the SEED characters a lot(he argues with everyone, needs anger management!) and that he just wants to rush into things mindlessly and fight.

When you seed SD's climax fight with him against Athrun, you'll laugh at how INSANE he is. Honestly, I hope in a non-existant epilogue, he goes to get anger management. >_>

So is he a whiny emotional bitch for the entire series?

He basically is calm when he's with friends but everytime someone voices their opinion, he acts like a complete douche. Later on he actual beats Kira in a fight...Which pissed me off based on the fact that Shinn sucks...And then later in the final battle he's SCREAAAAAAAMING AND GRUUUUUUNTING AND CRRRRRYING ANG AAAAAAANGRYYYYY RAAAAAAAGE AAAAAAN- *OHKO'D BY ATHRUN* OOOOOH FFFFUUUUUUUUU..........*crash*

I've only seen bits and pieces of SEED, but some moments that I think were supposed to be dramatic struck me as laughably hilarious.

"Le gasp! You accidently killed my random comrade who liked to play the piano!"
"Yeah? Well YOU killed my random comrade a while ago too, you know!"
"ATHRUUUUUUUN!!!"
"KIRAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

I think that scene worked well. But the random comrad on Kira's side is just.......WTF.....I mean, you know he's one of his friends but he isn't exactly one who had a lot of dialogue or scenes compared to the others. Athrun's friend though actually is understandable since he had a lot of scenes and someone who had a bright future.

Yeah, well, as I said, I've only seen bits and pieces of it.

The most I remember is the name-yelling bit... the epic vocal projection along the lines of such acclaimed cries like "Tetsuo/Kaneda" or "Naruto/Sasuke"...

I thought Wing was the best with G Gundam right under it.

Episode 17,

It's pretty meh so far. Flay is a bitch, Kira is an easily manipulative idiot, I hate Athrun, and really most of the fights haven't been that great.
