Well, I liked Gundam Seed, bought all the DVDs in fact, and I'll be waiting for the first Destiny dvd to be released in March in the US. In my humble opinion, the ending to Gundam Seed Destiny was squashed in. If there were a few more episodes upon which to draw it out and there weren't all those episodes where they recapped what happened, it would've finished much more cleanly. Gundam Seed was pretty kool, Destiny had potential, but the ending left a sour taste in my mouth, but the OVA that premiered on Christmas was a much better ending to the series, however, several of my friends and I are still arguing over what happened between Seed and Destiny about a certain "someone".

Rumor has it that there's going to be a sequel to Destiny called Eternity, but I can't be too sure on that. Heard it on other forums on other sites that it was in a Japanese magazine, Moonphase or something with a similar name. I hope this new series would finish up everything to the story cause the writers left us hanging at the end of Destiny.

As it stands, the Eternity story is currently all in the realm of 'Unproven'...so, for now, best to just classify it as another DBAF.

On the other side of the coin, SEED DESTINY compilations will be coming soon (...hey, they might actually get it right this time...probably not, but one can hope) and there's a new 6-part web-cast series in the works entitled Stargazer (different production staff...as evidenced by the fact we finally get a Natural protagonist. Here's hoping a new director is just the thing this universe needs.)

SEED was good, but SEED Destiny is a perfect example of how NOT to do a gundam series.

Curse those recaps, flashbacks, and recyced animation. >_<

I can't believe the 3rd gundam seed series will be out. Do they have to put more shame than it already is?

Well, considering right now the only 3rd series they've confirmed is a sidestory with a different production staff, I wouldn't despair just yet (so long as they can keep the Clyne Faction's part minimal to nonexistent, there will be hope.)

i'm a fan of gundam seed to but i wonder if the episode writers realize the kind of overdo it on the drama, ya know like when most of the episodes kira is often crying which has that moment where your watching it and suddenly he starts tearing and your all like in a "oh here he goes again" type of atitude.
