Movie Reviews of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, Vol. 2
Movie Review: Drastic Measures and Stakes Being Raised
Summary: 4 Stars
Well first off this is definetly the DVD for Athrun Zala fans. His character ultimately takes center stage for all five episodes. More characters from the original Gundam Seed pop up and virtually everything done at the end of the original Gundam Seed Series wound up being for nothing.
The first episode was by far the most action packed, making it the best. The new main character Shinn Asuka takes a backseat while two old faces take center stage. Yzak who is now a ZAFT commander and Dearka who was demoted for joining the Archangel during the last war. Along with Athrun the three of them pretty much fight off the Coordinator terrorists and the three Earth Forces pilots who stole the new Gundams. Athrun and Cagalli may have helped prevent Genesis from being fired on the Earth, but in the end it didn't mean a thing because the earth really gets it bad. It was a very big moment in the series, but considering the direction the series takes towards the end one could wonder whether they made a mistake having something as drastic as this happen so early in the series.
We are given the distinct impression that Athrun and Cagalli have dubbed themselves peacekeepers. If that's the case both of them really made some stupid decisions. Cagalli had no intention of telling the other members of the Orb government that Coordinator terrorists were responsible. So she really came off looking untrusting like a true politician when they found out. Athrun goes to the Plants to talk with Chairman Durandal because he's worried about what the Plants will do and he feels guilty about his father's actions. If Athrun was so concerned about the Plants then maybe he shouldn't have left them to begin with. Being former Chairman Zala's son he could've helped influence and inspire the Plants in a different direction. So you can't help but sympathize with Durandal when we're introduced to Meer Campbell, a double of Lacus Clyne doing just that. Besides Durandal isn't the one that needs to be spoken to about not starting a war, he's obligated to instruct ZAFT to fight back if the Earth Forces attack. What else can he do? A new Gundam is introduced and it has Athrun's name on it.
Kira Yamato, Lacus Clyne, Murrue Ramius and Andrew Waltfeld who are now all living in Orb each make appearances in this volume, although it's not made clear yet what there purpose will be in Gundam Seed Destiny. Murrue Ramius is now going by a different name like Athrun, no doubt in an effort to hide from the Earth Forces who she betrayed. Andrew Waltfeld has been kicking back and just keeping tabs on the relations between the earth and the Plants. The two people fans have been dieing to see, Kira and Lacus have been living with Reverend Malchio and helping take care of his orphans on a small island.
One of the best scenes is where Shinn Asuka comes face to face with Kira at the memorial where his family was killed. This volume is just as exciting as the first one so I highly recommend it.
Summary of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, Vol. 2
As Destiny, the sequel to the popular Gundam Seed, continues, relations between the normal humans and the genetically enhanced Coordinators deteriorate. Renegade Coordinators disturb the orbit of the enormous monument, the Junius 7, positioning it to strike the Earth. Shin, Athrun, and other Mobile Suit pilots from the Earth and ZAFT work together to destroy as much of Junius as possible. Although they save the Earth from complete destruction, the devastation is still enormous--and precipitates a declaration of war from the Earth Alliance against ZAFT. The growing cries of the humans to purge the Coordinators from "our pure and blue world" can be read as a commentary on 21st-century politics. Athrun agonizes over the renegades' references to his father's ideas, but finds time to court Cagalli. Director Mitsuo Fukuda skillfully blends CG and traditional animation to give the space battles maximum pizzazz. But the story feels padded: The scene of Shin finding his sister's body appears at least once per episode. (Rated 13 and older: violence, brief nudity) --Charles SolomonCosmic Era 73. The world is once again poised on the brink of war. Despite the best efforts of the Minerva and her crew, terrorists set the war memorial Junius Seven on a course that will cause it to fall out of its orbit and hit the Earth. The PLANTS get ready to defend themselves from what they perceive to be an inevitable retaliation by the Earth Forces. Meanwhile, back on Orb, the government debates about what to do in the wake of such a serious disaster, and Cagalli doesn't see eye-to-eye with her ministers. Sequel to the blockbuster hit Gundam SEED! Character designs by Hisashi Hirai. Genre: Action/Sci-Fi/Mecha.
