Synopsis:

Set in the aftermath of a devastating civil war, this series explores the fragile peace emerging between Earth-bound Naturals and space-faring Coordinators. The narrative centers on Kira Yamato, a pilot tasked with a perilous mission: to neutralize the Requiem, a devastating weapon threatening universal annihilation. He navigates complex alliances and rivalries alongside his comrade Athrun Zala, whose past actions fuel resentment from Shinn Asuka, a determined pilot seeking retribution.

The story depicts not just high-stakes mobile suit combat, but also the deeply ingrained divisions preventing true understanding. Through intense battles and personal conflicts, the series examines the human cost of conflict and the difficulty of forging a shared future in a galaxy scarred by war. It offers a nuanced perspective on the struggle for peace amidst profound ideological differences.

    Compared to the original SEED, Destiny was not as good and it left many things unanswered at the final episodes, things that sunrise answered with this Final Plus episode. True it may not add many things but it fills several gaps and at the end it paves the way for the SEED movie we've been waiting since forever to come out....Hopefully someday it will.

    Holy Crap. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Final Plus: The Chosen Future. The title's such a mouthful, you'd think it would have equal amounts of substance to it. ...But there's almost none. Maybe it's my fault for jumping in without knowing this is mostly a re-do/recap of SEED Destiny's final episode, but at first I thought I was watching the wrong video. Slowly, but surely, I began to notice the insignificantly infrequent extra scenes and realized that this was the OVA I'd eagerly awaited (for about 5 minutes) to see. Basically, I wasted a valuable hour of my time. I already knew what would happen from watching thefinal episode of the actual series, so Final Plus was no longer enjoyable. In fact, it was quite the grueling experience. Watching a re-do held absolutely no suspense, no excitement, and no emotion at all. The so-called "newly added scenes" were parts I could've lived without seeing. The only section remotely worth seeing is the final 8 or so minutes which were completely new scenes never seen in the final episode. But seriously, I could've spent my 50 minutes doing something else...nnSo please. Do yourself a favor. Instead of watching this OVA, do something productive. Watch something else. Perhaps the Hellsing Ultimate OVA... just don't watch this. Heck, you can even go out and play sports or something... just DON'T DO IT!!!
