Post anything about this topic

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny (機動戦士ガンダムSEED DESTINY, Kidō Senshi Gundam SEED DESTINY?) is the second TV series set in the Cosmic Era universe of Gundam. Set two years after the original Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Gundam SEED Destiny features many new characters and some returning ones. The series spanned 50 episodes (plus a recap episode entitled "Edited"), aired in Japan from October 9, 2004 to October 1, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. on the JNN TV stations TBS and MBS.

Directed by Mitsuo Fukuda, Gundam SEED Destiny is the sequel to Gundam SEED and the second Gundam series to be set in the Cosmic Era timeline. Set in C.E. 73, two years after the peace treaty between ZAFT and the Earth Alliance was signed in Gundam SEED, members of the Earth Alliance special task force known as "Phantom Pain" hi-jack three advanced mobile suits from a ZAFT armory base during a meeting between Orb representative Cagalli Yula Athha and new ZAFT chairman Gilbert Durandal. What begins as a pursuit of this band of Extended Naturals by Orb refugee Shinn Asuka, Alex Dino (Athrun Zala in disguise), Rey Za Burrel and the crew of the Minerva, escalates into cataclysmic circumstances which lead to the declaration of yet another war.


[edit] Themes and reactions
While still interested on the plight between Naturals/Extendeds and Coordinators, Destiny's focus was placed more on the ideological conflicts held by the characters, with social commentary proposing a global government conspiracy theory. In a wide scope, the series poses the question of what would be the best path for humanity to follow: one where people's paths are chosen, but they are able to live to their full potential, or that of freedom and the inevitable conflict that will occur?

Although a ratings success, Destiny could not match either the previous success of Gundam SEED or Fullmetal Alchemist, both of which previously aired on the popular Saturday evening prime-time slot.

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Broadcast information
Gundam SEED Destiny had its premiere broadcast in Japan on October 9, 2004 at 6:00 p.m. on the JNN TV stations (TBS and MBS) and ended on October 1, 2005.

On Christmas 2005, a special episode ("Final Plus") called "The Chosen Future" aired in Japan. The episode is mainly a remake of the Final Phase (episode 50), with a few storyline changes, a lengthened battle, and an epilogue to the series.

Bandai Entertainment has announced that Gundam SEED Destiny is licensed for the North American market. It began its Canadian broadcast on YTV's Bionix programming block on March 9, 2007 at 9:30 p.m. There is no schedule date to broadcast the series in the U.S. at this time according to Bandai Entertainment, but the english-dubbed version had been released on DVD.

In the Philippines, the English-dubbed version first aired on Cartoon Network Philippines on June 1, 2006. On December 1, 2006 and February 17, 2007, Hero TV and ABS-CBN respectively aired the Filipino-dubbed version.


[edit] Adaptations
An abridged version of the TV series is being released as Gundam SEED Destiny: Special Edition, which retells the story in four 90 minute parts. Unlike the Gundam SEED: Special Edition, this retelling of Destiny seems focused on fixing some of the more criticized aspects of the series (for instance, by focusing on Athrun Zala's point of view to keep the focus as neutral as possible) rather than simply editing together highlights and important battles.

An ONA spinoff called Gundam SEED C.E. 73: Stargazer, has been released on Bandai Channel starting July 2006, with a DVD release scheduled for November 2006.

Most recently, a brand new movie was announced by Sunrise (news in English via Gunota Headlines).Little is known about the movie at this time but it will be a brand new story set after the series.

The anime has been adapted into a series of novels, by Goto Riu (also the author of the Gundam SEED novels).

The manga series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: The Edge tells the events of the anime from the viewpoint of Athrun Zala, though, some events were changed.

According to the December 2006 edition of Newtype magazine, a non-sequitur comedy series based on the massively popular Yonkoma comic Gundam SEED Club is due to be released in April 2007. It will star the entire cast of the Gundam SEED saga (even those who were killed) as cuddly and adorable super deformed caricatures, enacting a madcap but endearing parody of a high school romance manga, set in "Saint Minerva" high school, a grounded Minerva vessel with a "Japanese school clock" in place of the bridge. The youths will be the students and the adults will be the teaching staff.
