Much Ado About Everything

So, the time has finally come. To watch the sequel for my all time favourite anime, Gundam Seed. I’ve seen 7 episodes so far. My impressions: entertaining, top notch looking, good ending song, so-so opening song. But the story so far just doesn’t energize me as much as the original did, and there are lots of parallels. True, I wasn’t that much into original until later, but there isn’t that feeling inside of me while watching it. Of course, I might be unfairly giving the original high score due to the fact it started the avalanche of anime for me – first love cannot be forgotten, as they say.

However, I will say that Lacus Clyne is much cuter in anime than her figurines imply! And only in episode 7 do we get to see Haro – while Tori’s debut is in episode 6. Neither serve any purpose here so far, unlike in the original.
