I'll now do the pros and cons of each opening.

Ignited:

Pros: Good scenes, music gets you pumped up, Yzak.
Cons: Not the best song otherwise, some scenes that are unnecessarily long and out of place.

Pride:

Pros: Awesome song, great choice of scenes, Heine, cool foreshadowing.
Cons: nothing really

Bokutachi:

Pros: The song showed, just like Believe did for Seed season 3, that things were getting darker
Cons: Seed should never have slow or mid-tempo songs, too many spoilers in foreshadowing

that last song:

Pros: lol
Cons: Everything

--

It should also be noted that Pride is one of few openings in history that can rival the amount of times I've seen the opening animation for Realize (Seed op4)

Pride, with Ignited and Bokutachi no Yukue at close second and that last opening dead last.

I have to agree with Terra. Ignited got you really pumped to see the series, but the opening scenes were very out of place.

Pride has to be the best SEED Destiny Opening because the scenes showed stuff that was really going to happen, and the song itself was one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Bokutachi was good. I liked it, but it wasn't good for a Gundam opening.

Wings was just flat out bad.

Ignited - Just don't like the song in General

Pride - Best opening and I love it!

Bokutachi no Yukue - Second best!

Wings of Words - I like it, I don't hate it like most people but its just not Gundam.

So I vote for Pride!!

Pride with Bokutachi no Yukue as a close second.

Wings of Words should not even be in the poll. It's a disgrace for the franchise which should simply be forgotten.

Pride is my fav, the whole song just flows nice.


eh, i don't mind Wings of Worlds, sure it doesn't fit with the Gundam theme, but its not a bad song at all.

I choose Pride cause it was one of the best one i ever heard from GSD for now

ignited, pride, and bokutachi no yukue are all good, ignited got me hooked on gsd because i judge 50% of the anime based on the music and then pride was hella good and it had great scenes and bokutachi no yukue was close to pride but pride still beats it and wings of words is alright for just a song but it still sorta sucks so i vote pride

I voted for Ignited because that was when I was really into Destiny and was loving the blend of old characters and new ones.

Now it just sucks big hairy goat balls.

I also hated the third opening because its "foreshadowing" was more like blatant spoilers of events to come. Honestly, who unmasks a villain in an opening before it actually happens in the series? (Not like it wasn't obvious already...)

Going to go with Ignited since I am a big TMR fan and it seemed to me like a Destiny remix of Invoke (which IMO was the best SEED opening) and Ignited just seemed like a good show opener for the first few episodes and it was half the reason that I watched Destiny after seeing the preview trailer even though SEED had been disappointing. Oh and I don't really think Wings of Words is a bad song, it just takes getting used to because now I kinda like it though the Gundam SEED Destiny opening of it sucks although after seeing the songs other people have switched it for in opening remakes there are definitely some far worse openings that could have occurred.

I voted wings of words, because it really grows on you. I think its better than people give it credit, and its the only one I watch ever episode now>.<

Wing of words. I'm tone deaf but i like it. Can't expect much from a drummer, a violinist and a pianoist. The loudest part was the singer. It was pretty good. I could listen to it all day. The other songs seem better in comparison only because they threw in synthesizers and electric guitarists. Also Wings of word had a couple of seconds pause or where the only thing playing was either drums and violin.

Bokutachiwa It has its moments such as around 0:40 to 1:20 and 2:55 to 3:25 (backup guitarist) and 4:10 to end and parts like that. The rest was just drowning. You will be deaf after its over. The main guitarist was overdoing himself. His interference to the singer made it hard to hear her. The backup guitarist was talented though.

Pride's moment was between beginning to 0:25 and 0:35 to 1:15,
2:30-2:40 (guys stick to your talent, ok?), i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif
2:40 to 2:55 (okay, rock on!)

I would have voted for ignited as the best but already voted for Wings of words cause it was unpopular but i don't think it was that bad.

Which is probably the sole reason why it's up there.

Advice for everyone: Vote seriously or stay the fuck out of my polls.

WINGS OF WORDS is so damn stupid. How is it a good song? Maybe the guys who voted for it have been listening to it too much and i guess you can say they have developed a taste for it. You need to listen to broader category of music before you can really compare. i mean come on!!!!

I am wondering the exact same thing. ARGHHH!!!! Come on people, Pride is already winning by a good margin!!! Give some respect votes to Ignited, a song this great doesn't deserve last place!!! I WILL GIVE YOU A COOKIE IF YOU VOTE FOR IT!!!!

Thu, 09-08-2005, 12:17 AM
I'm just a little shocked that the first opening Ignited isn't doing so well....

I have gotten to the point where skipping the opening piece of shit song is such high priority that I won't maximize the first couple minutes until I can safely fastforward through the shitty Wings of Words garbage.

At least Pride is a pretty decent opening...

wings of words is a weird and unsual song for an opening, yet, although it's not good and not so bad, it's sorta hypnotizing. it just keeps making me put it on repeat, so i can hear it over and over again.

Kovash
Sun, 09-18-2005, 11:19 PM
I donm't think Wings of Words is a bad song, just ill-placed.

I WAS going to say the it's anti-climatic for the last few action-packed SEED is known for, GSD is apparently taking an entirely different path. So It's almost fitting... almost...

Mite Gai
Mon, 09-19-2005, 10:23 PM
People please specifically read the details of this poll, BEST OPENING, this is not just the song, but also the animation that went along with it, which is where Wings of Words the OP loses, as it re-uses tons of scenes.

Chris Ramsey
Tue, 09-20-2005, 09:55 AM
I voted PRIDE (second opening) because the song is damn good, it get's you pumped up and flows perfectly with the animation of that opening. I love the part where Saviour Gundam poses with Athrun in a ZAFT suit raises his hands in the background, then you see the Destiny Gundam all darkned rushing towards the Destroy Gundam along with Kira's FREEDOM, Kira and Shinn face to face.

For me PRIDE is the best opening song of all the SEED saga.



Anybody thinking that "Wings of Shit" is a good opening should be shot immediatly !

I've never seen such an ill-placed song, I mean MY GOD it's ugly ! "Wings of Shit" is more fitted for a slow-mo Jazz club song.
