Iam curious about how many ppl actually liked SEED. Personally, I loved Gundam SEED. It was my favorite of all the gundams and most animes. If you read different forums you find people that loved it and some that didn’t, saying it sucked.
For those whom say it sucked, why did they watch it if they thought it sucked? It completely owned in the later episodes. Did they watch they whole thing? If they did, why did they if they say it sucked so much? Wouldnt have been a waste of time to watch it in the first place after they thought it sucked. SEED is alot of episodes, and to watch it all and while not liking it would be a big waste of time. Thus, they have had to enjoy it at some point, and maybe they didnt like the way it turned out. If they didnt like it after watching, I understand (clearly dont agree) but that doesnt make SEED suck,they just didnt like it.
Dont be saying its just like the other gundams, cuz its not. Its got similar story elements. It is called Gundam, ppl wouldnt be watching it if it didnt have gundam type story elements. Secondly, just cuz its newer doesnt make older gundams far 133t3r, for the simple fact that they are older. Just cuz someone likes older stuff doesnt make them a better fan then someone else that enjoys watching new anime. Ideas, people and even anime evolve and get better over time. If you like the older gundams, thats cool, just do so cuz they are great, dont like them cuz they're old.
On the other hand, some people just quit watching it saying it sucked. Its seems very baised, and lacks a correct reference point (which is seeing the whole series). It’s hard to judge something without seeing the big picture. Gundam Seed isnt like Avenger here, it has a great plot, character design and a fan base etc. Unlike Avenger, ya cant just past judgement on Seed only seeing a few episodes.
On the other side of this, you have alot of ppl that did like the series. I remember when it was going to be licensed and many many ppl were worried. So clearly it has a fan base. There are websites and forums that are made for just SEED. I remember when it was a topic here back in the day, there was alot of ppl here that liked it.
Some of you may have heard that there is a 5 min OAV on the last DVD. I am sorta disappointed in that its not a long OAV or even an episode length. Its better then nothing I suppose. Although, I am still hoping that they make something longer. <span style='color:red'>Companies always want more money, so who knows what will happen. </span> SEED had fans, its clear as day it did. I hate it when ppl are like no there isnt going to be a SEED ova. No one can say that, cuz things change. As much as I hate Bandai, they are the only ones that can say there is or isn’t . Even if they say no there isnt, they could change their mind. They are a business, a multi national corporation after all, its all about money money money...
Even though, I would love a SEED 2, I voted for a longer OVA. It seems like a tease to have just a 5 minute thing, and as great an ending SEED had I was left with some unanswered questions.
