I started watching this because I liked Code Geass - Hangyaku no Lelouch and i thought that i give it a shot. Of course it is not the same. What happened in this first episode in CG only took about 10 mins.

But still I think I might like it.

It really is epic :) The story is very interesting from the start and I really think that it will evolve fast.

Also the quality of the design is incredible, especially the Gundams (compared to Turn A Gundam but also other previous works)

Nice start,when the episode ended I was like: "O_O ? Already over?!" .
What I didn't like was that the bad guys managed to steal the cool mecha... :/

Shocking to see that it was Kira's friend at the end there, epic. cant wait for episode 2 and seeing how Kira becomes a pilot.

Man, I don't care what anyone says, to me Gundam Seed is the best Gundam out there (well it is the series that got me into anime :D). I just love Kira's development through the series, and I can't wait to re-watch it all in the HD remastered form.

Nice to just go into Gundam Seed again with just some more visual polish to it.

Certainly more enjoyable than Age has been so far and despite its weak points still one of my favourites.

REMASTAR

Although the remastering is very uneven: all the non-military characters get low resolution -_-

However cannot deny the epic ED song and one of my favourite: Anna ni isshou datta no ni

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Pretty damn good so far.

Reminds me Code Geass a little bit but well executed. Definitely will be continuing to be watching this.

The 2nd mecha anime I'll be watching, after Code Geass. First thought mecha fight is so lame, yeah sorry 'bout that :p But after Code Geass, my view towards mecha changed :)
Just when I thought something is going to happen, the episode ended...

Wow going from Turn A to this is crazy. Story makes sense right out of the gate, but there are definite parallels to the very first Gundam series. Lots more to watch.

Pretty good first chapter. It seems all Gundam's start roughly with the same storyline.

You mean explosions first and questions later? I'd have to agree. This is an exact copy of the first episode of the original Gundam series, but it's still interesting. I like Kira as a protagonist but it's too early to say if he's a good one or not.

First actual gundam series -- excluding FUll metal panic. That one was kinda more on comedy--
So far so good, I suppose

It starts!
While my sufficient knowledge of souls, I have long noticed that I lacked sufficient knowledge of Gundam, I wanted to start after the series of Reconguista with this other TV series.
I hope it is interesting.
As early episode, it reminded me a lot Z Gundam, it seems almost identical.
Episode that sets a pace almost infernal narration, less talk and you go straight to the point; not bad.
Chara Design simple and beautiful despite the low quality of the release. Oh well I'll just make the HD series, the problem does not exist.
The plot sounds interesting, the soundtrack is very beautiful.
Not bad even the opening and the ending.

Already watched (and dropped right after "the island").

The first episode starts pretty fast in term of conflict but it also immediately suggests that teenager drama will be a focus.
The chara-design is as weird-looking as I remembered (almost like it wasn't made for animation purposes).

The main problem is that it fails at showing why the colony independentists are able to hold their own against the Federation, why the Federation is secretly developing four (five?) more unique robots and how this is supposed to help regain the advantage.


4/5 The last minutes seemed extremely off in the HD Remaster of gundam.info (apart from the ugly croping). Then I checked my fansub of the original broadcast and it seemed more "natural".

An all-out invasion in the first ep, that certainly is some way to start the show off. Kira might be a decent mc, only time will tell tho. I'll be honest, I couldn't tell that the blond haired character was a girl at first, lol. Damn, this was one heck of a rough start. The art and character designs are a bit iffy. I'm not sure if I'll like them by the end. Some decent animation this episode tho.

Highlight: The combat in space was decently done, but there was a point were they reused an attack sequence animation right after just using it. That's never a good sign

Finally get to watch Seed and I'm already into it, last minute gave me chills.

A perfect start
I watched Seed before 0079, upon watching 0079 I noticed all the references to Seed!

Wow, this first episode was pretty cool, i have the impression that this show will be pretty serious.
The Gundams look awesome, simple but great, not gonna lie.
