I cant go through Gundam seed after watching 00 and geass... is there anyone like me?

After going through gundam 00 and code geass, I searched the web and found gundam seed is recommanded by many. But after finishing faster paced action flicks like gundam 00 and code geass, I just found seed to be too slow and boring...

And is it me or seed is aiming for a more younger audience than 00? perhaps thats the other reason that I found it boring, kind of pasted the age of angst teenager and the little teen's love drama. The political clash doesnt seem interesting compared to 00 and code geass. And when watching it I cant help but feel as if the story is cliched. Well, I understand its an older series, and the similar events probably done in other new animes too, and thats probably where the feelings came from.

So... I am wondering if i should delete the whole thing after getting tired with around 15 episodes. I mean those 15 episode, i was really yawning and thinking to myself oh god when is it going to end, not looking forward to the next episode whatsoever. Some I even watched through 2x speed..

If I loathe slow paced, love drama, harem, ecchi such as clannad, kimi kiss and to loveru(watched first few episode and found them really boring) will I like seed if I continue watching through it or should I just delete it because I heard its more of a love drama rather than political thriller??

And is seeds political shock and twists better that code geass and gundam 00? because I really like those suspense.

I need some opinions here please, because 100 episodes was not an easy download, and deleting them seems like such a waste of bandiwth but going through 100 episode of boredom is no easy task either...

Of all the gundam series that I've seen SEED is my favorite and it gets a lot better around episode 20~25 because from there the story starts to move faster and it gets more exciting XD

...and about DESTINY you should skip the first 15 episodes and watch the recap special instead as the beginning is very identical to the beginning of SEED but after that it gets a lot better. I really like it from when Kira and Lacus reappeared XD

what can i say

seed its one of the best gundam series...it has it all drama/romance/action/adventure etc
the story is way way better than the one in 00.... characters more interesting (i mean u wont find out about the main char till the episodes 44+,it relly kkeps u on the seat to find why how what)
action scenes are damn cool.....
over the top drama.....with lots of deaths (gundam 00 drama is more in the final of season 1 and some in the final of season 2)
animation like......we can`t really compare here....to much time difference between them.....but for 2002 seed has superb animation

and the list goes on and on and on

my advice is watch gundam seed/seed destiny ... u wont rgret it

While I haven't seen anywhere near all of them, I'd probably agree with that. Watch the original 0079 instead, it has the same basic story, but better and with less angst and even the occasional head being blown off. It's also a splendid classic, a piece of anime history if there ever was one.

As for political twists and intrigues, watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I don't know about 00, but Code Geass seems like a kindergarten show when you compare it's meagre "politics" to LoGH, and the ame goes for story and character depth.

The best part about code geass is Lelouch as a genius, I dont thin anyone finds the actual political side that interesting. Gundam 00 actually has a decent political side to it, not what you would expect from a new gundam series.

Well, depends if you like the drama/romance/light action that SEED gives you. 00's more for action-oriented Gundam/Anime fans.. that's my views anyway. ^^

I have no problem with seed's story but the way they handle the ending was really dull to me, like what happened to issue of Kira and Cagali being twins, Sai also what happened to him after all that, Kira's step dad?? like he wasn't even shown in destiny at least once, instead there was that father who save Kira, with his step mom, like what the hell!

I'm only halfway through Seed, but so far it isn't really as enjoyable for me as the older shows, like the original, Zeta, etc.

I think most people should start off with those if they're going to start watching Gundam. Plus, I think the UC shows are much more fun to watch since the whole timeline is very detailed and it's interesting seeing how each series fits in on the timeline.

SEED is more about the characters than the mecha battles. It's still better than Wing though.

No. Although I am not very fond of Code Geass as well, Seed's political intrigues are way too simple and innocent. As a whole, I find Seed to be extremely disappointing, with bad pace, bad animation and bad characters.

This guy knows what he's talking about, ladies and gentlemen.

There's also such low quality animation in SEED, you won't believe how much you'll be seeing that Buster Gundam rifle combine scene (even if it is pretty cool).

Ah, that's how i felt when i watched SEED. Though what i did was take breaks, like watch a few episodes every three days. Or watch 00 at the same time. Eventually it caught on. Though it took me like around episode 30-ish to get into it. Though SEED did get my attention really quick, even though i hated the way they screwed Shinn over but that's a different story.

Before the Lacus Arc this show is really great. I watched it NON-STOP <<<<< It's that interesting, mainly because of the plot. I really liked the friend vs friend element. But when the Lacus Arc started this anime is SHIT, REAL SHIT. Worth watching for the first part anyway.
Doubt Doubt.
