I forgot how many times I watched this anime, but I believe it more than 3 times. The first time I watched it when I was a middle-schooler, the second time was still in middle school with my sister, and I remember watching it again when I was a high-schooler. And I always have this kind of mixed feeling, like happy, sad, and left a hollow. I love this anime so much, as this is my first Gundam series technically, and after re-watched it again yesterday, I know I never have a wrong love toward Gundam Seed (GS), I love it so much until it makes me want to write a post about them. Here I am.
But, before I begin, I have to apologize (big time!) to Kira Yamato 😦 I was wrong about him all this time, I want to hug Kira so much. Before I re-watched GS yesterday, I never like Kira, I always thought of him as a naive stupid boy, yet my 25 years old girl feeling now can relate to Kira so much, I love him. He was so much human, he was an innocent teen who had to weigh big responsibility on his shoulder. I now can feel why he was so scared in the battle–he was a civilian before all the happened in Heliopolis, He only wants to do it because he had no choice and no one can protect his friends and others besides himself, ah just remember it makes me want to hug Kira even more. His character develops more mature after-and-after events, and I like the character development. Even though sometimes I think he still a teen who sometimes likes sugarcoat his words, but I don’t blame him, he still a teen and he befriended Lacus–but he is not that worse, his words are right tho. This makes me want to move to my second opinion-change of this anime.
Lacus Clyne. Huft. How can I say it without call her stupid? Oh, ups, I already did. I just… sigh. She can be so much potential because she holds a big role in the plot. But how can the writers make her look… naive? No, she more than naive. I mean, how can she sing in whatever situations? Is sing can change people’s hearts or mood in war? Even Green Day can’t do it, and they not gonna do it in an urgent situation as well, I mean she was in the run, she can be captured anytime (yeah, despite there are people who protect her, but is she mental?? they can get hurt). I admit that she got better when she captaining Eternal, but she was a big naive. I know she didn’t say a wrong thing, but let’s admit it that she was being too naive, even though she also still a teen but I just can’t relate. I feel sorry for how the creators made her like that. Nevertheless, it will be justice for her if we say that so many naive people in here, but I just can’t get over her naive words. Sorry to say.
And the third thing is Natarle Badgiruel! HOW CAN I HATE HER ALL THIS TIME! She is, oh my god, cool! I really don’t remember her clearly, I just remember that she captaining Dominion, and she just that cold person and she respect Murrue in the end. But I was TOTALLY WRONG! I wanna cry just remember her and my hatred. This is a more serious crime than what I did with Kira. I wish I could be not this stupid. She is just cool headed, strict, logical, and principled. She was not choosing to betray Archangel like I remembered, no way she did. And She, sigh, even though I hate Flay so much, but I also happy to see her care about Flay. And she still cares about people in Archangel. What she did to Azrael just… she was a hero. A big hero. I love her so much. Love love love. I am crying for her last scene, and now it is not just because of Mwu, but now it is also because of Natarle. Oh my, let me cry again. Now, I got my three favorite characters in GS, it is Murrue, Mwu, and Natarle! I love them, I love every one of them, to the point I change my dream of buying Freedom Gundam Model first to Archangel Model. I always love Murrue and Mwu, they always my top favorite character in GS, but now, it is more +++++100 than before. lol.
There is so much that I want to write right now, but I forgot each of them. Oh, I just noticed how advanced 2002 people mind in imagining things in the future. Even now, there are technologies that we haven’t have in this future, but we know maybe some of them can be our future. And what amazes me is the whale or stone in Andrew’s house. In their era, whale already extinct–and this can be our future as well because now whale is close to being extinct because of large illegal captured in the world and because of climate change. This is so ironic though. And I also realize, how small whale stone in there, is that mean that we, humans, were growing more and more? Or is it just whale model stone? But, if my theory one is right, then I am amazed by the creators’ thoughts. I also like how well planned the war is. They are sick, and so is our world is. It is happening in our world too. I believe there are more people like Azrael and Patrick Zala, or so much worse. And, one scene when Yzak shot the civilian shuttle, it is a hard truth in our world as well, it happens.
Before I close this post. Let me tell you something, Flay is the one of biggest btch in anime history. Even after I watch GS, I can’t relate to her. She is twisted, sick, and annoying btch. Though I will continue to rewatch GSD, I am still not mentally prepared to watch Shinn Asuka. I remember him to be an annoying jerk ( his level is almost the same with Flay), I wish I could change my opinion about him as well, but hmm let’s see.
Well, See You.
