Gundam Seed Crew

From the creators of Gundam, here comes a brand new series Gundam Seed!!! This is an alternate universe series which has a lot of depth in it. The series came out last year actually and the legit dvds won't be out till nxt year or so... The story begins during the Cosmic Era 71, where Kira Yamato, a Coordinator, and his friends are be dragged into a conflict between the Earth Alliance and Zaft. Heliopolis, a space colony, is the setting at the beginning. A secret production of Gundams is being carried out by the Earth Federation and preparations are on the way for launching of the Gundams. However, Zaft already has other plans and deploys men to steal the Gundams. During the fighting, emeges our young hero, Kira. In his attempt to save the life of a female stranger he boards one of the Gundam called Strike and realises he is stuck in a sticky situation. He soon takes up arms and pilots Strike and fights against other four Gundams stolen by the Zaft federation. After a few battle scenes, he and his friends board a battleship known as the Archangel. Hence, beginning a series of adventures.
Gundam Seed has a very good storyline not to mention plot with quite a few twists and turns here and there.... Not to mention that each episode ends in suspense, keeping viewers glued to their seats. The characters and Mechas are drawn to a high level of detail and intricately which makes them highly appealing to the viewers. The animation wise is average with some 3D effects at times. Another plus point about this animation is its music. The opening and endings songs for Gundam Seed are fantastic with artists like T.M Revolution, See-saw and Nami Tamaki. Moreover, the background songs would make someone empathize with the characters and setting the ideal mood for each scene during the show.
Gundam Seed is no doubt an excellent piece of work by Sunrise and is currently a very popular anime still. Although there are minor flaws where there is little details at certain point of time, the animation thoroughly deserves a 4 out of 5 stars.
