i'm thinking that the distinct lack of closure at the end of the final episode (Shinn & Luna on the moon, everyone floating in space, etc) is a pretty good indication that we can be expecting a 3rd SEED series, or perhaps a movie sort of thing (ala Endless Waltz)
the action was entertaining, but i get the feeling the episode will be a lot better once i can watch it with a good sub... seems to be a decent amount of information dispensed during the fights between Kira/Rey, Athrun/Shinn, and during the final confrontation...
and really, weren't we just discussing last week that as much as the viewers outside of Japan may not like Destiny (myself not included, i'm a fan still), the viewers in Japan were completely and thoroughly in love with the series? taking that into consideration, there's going to be some sort of continuation... at the very least, a five minute thing like they did as a follow-up for SEED...
oh, and Terra, remember a few weeks back, you said you'd given up hope for a good plot twist ending? i guess we just got a christmas miracle... i knew there was a reason i hung on and crossed my fingers. wasn't great, but it was a twist.
