And yes, they remixed "Mizu no Akashi".

Watch for an early cameo by GSD's Shinn Asuka and his family (at approx. 19:04)!

The remasters have done a lot to help. It looks fantastic, although there is the odd scene or two of the mobile suits looking hand-drawn instead of digitally colored.

Remember a few weeks ago, when I mentioned that Greedo Nicol swung first in the HD Remaster of Episode 27 of Seed?

Problem is, it makes it appear as if Nicol suicided himself by running into Kira's sword, whereas in the original, Kira acted on self-defense and swung it to save himself. Fukuda is trying to turn Kira into Destiny-era Kira (i.e., who can do no wrong).

Nicol shooting first kind of completely f***s up the signifgance of his death and cheapens the impact on Kira IMO.

Watch for cameos by Shinn, Lunamaria, Rey, and Meyrin!

I would love to see a third Cosmic Century anime, preferably with a new director. Destiny was such a mess, and would benefit a lot from a followup, and Stargazer isn't really enough(though it was good).
I stumbled onto my biggest problem with Destiny: It takes place something like a year after the original. The problem with that is that it makes a lot of the developments make absolutely no sense.
All you even have to do is compare the technology of the Strike Gundam to the Impulse. The Deuterion Beam or whatever alone would be a ridiculously huge development, and I am supposed to believe they churned that out in a year?
Compare the ZAKU units to GINN, or hell, even the GuAIZ. It is much more advanced, and again, they slapped it out in about a year.
It's supposed to be SEED's Zeta, but all it really captured of that was the protagonist with a ridiculously short fuse and a lack of emotional maturity.

Well, there was the movie, supposedly, but who knows when that will reach the eyes of viewers.

It's supposed to be SEED's Zeta, but all it really captured of that was the protagonist with a ridiculously short fuse and a lack of emotional maturity. Actually, GSD took place two years after SEED. Well, there was the movie, supposedly, but who knows when that will reach the eyes of viewers. According to Animage Magazine in 2008, Chiaki Morosawa, the head writer for Seed and GSD, said that the movie's outline was complete, but she had uterine fibroids and an ovarian cyst, and is recovering from her hysterectomy treatment. The Seed HD Remaster project is already taking place, and based on the cameos by the GSD crew (Shinn, Lunamaria, Rey, etc.), it looks like that they might do a GSD HD Remaster, depending on how the HD Remaster Gunpla sells. Based on what I read, Bandai can care less on how the Gundam anime performs; all that matters is how the Gunpla for their respective series perform.

Understandable, as the really money is the gunpla for them. That said, even 2 years is cutting it a bit close. The technology being a whole generation better just seems odd to me.

Here's GSD in a nutshell, recreated Rage Comics-style:

Is word from Gundam fans harsh, or is Shinn really basically angrier/whinier than Kamille Bidan yet also more naive than Sting?

He is. The last part of the anime not only goes out of its way to confirm it in the most blatant way possible, it also proves that he's a complete idiot and not that good in the end.
Kamille at least grew a pair and paid the price. Shinn cries like a baby.
