Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny



Mobile Suit 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.

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





OVERVIEW

           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. For background information see Factions of the Cosmic Era, for the events in the first series see Bloody Valentine War, for the events in Gundam SEED Destiny see Second Bloody Valentine War. 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 armoury 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, Athrun Zala, and the crew of the Minerva, escalates into cataclysmic circumstances which lead to the declaration of yet another war.



ADAPTATION


      An abridged version of the TV series, known as Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny: Special Edition, has been released. This abridged version is a retelling the story in four 90 minute parts. Unlike it's counter part, Gundam SEED: Special Edition, this retelling of Destiny focuses on fixing some of the more criticized aspects of the series (for instance, 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 sidestory called Gundam SEED C.E. 73: STARGAZER, was released on Bandai Channel between July and September 2006, with a DVD release In November 2006.


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 point of view of Athrun Zala. There is also another manga series that adapts the series straightforward. It was done by the same artist as the original Gundam SEED manga and released in America by Del Rey Books. This version of the series was received very poorly by fans due to Del Rey's name translations, forcing the company to release notes at the beginning of subsequent chapters following the first one.


As well, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny has been used for more recent entries in the SD Gundam G Generation and Super Robot Wars game series, the most notable entries being Super Robot Wars Z for the PS2 and Super Robot Wars K for the Nintendo DS.\
