Gundam Seed Destiny

Yes After waiting for so long, it has finally aired in Japan. I just downloaded the raw and watched it. It's really superb first episode.

The story begins with Shin and his family evacuating Orb cos the OMNI is attacking Orb(see epi38 GS). Somehow his family dies in a blast, he is left devastated and scarred. Interesting thing to note is that Shin family looks like Kira's foster parents. After there was the opening theme. The opening theme as usual leaves us wanting to see more of the blardi show cos it leaks all this extra info out.

after OP, we are on Plant with Athrun and Cagali, they were talking to the new Supreme Council Chairman, about him arming Plant etc etc. while that is happening , 3 EA pilots, 2 guys one gal( gal's name is Stella, suppose to have love affair with Shin later... how i know the opening theme lar) attack a factory and steal three new gundam, Abyss, Gaia & Chaos. Cagali and gang were inspecting the base that got attacked lar, so somehow, athrun & cagali got into some zaku and suai suai dio spotted by the gundams when the zaku got activated so gaia attacked den chaos joined in. Chaos chopped off one arm and seem like athrun and cagali are doomed but den the saviour arrives, Shin arrived his in sword impulse to help( long combining sequence) den after that the first epi ends with a cliff hanger sian...

tuned in next week for update on GUndam Seed Destiny
