"This set fully completes my Gundam Seed anime series set since I've already gotten the previous two box sets and the first Gundam Seed Destiny box set which I'm truly happy for since some of Bandai's recent choices of which sets to release and which to outright cancel(Zegapain being one of them). The series is hard to follow though if you've never seen the beginning of the GS universe and the stories of the characters so I'd advise watching the series from the very beginning to understand what is really going on, like most of the Gundam universe series this show seems to mostly stress the utter stupidity and futility of wars. If you look at the various fighting sides you'll see they all seem to have various and seemingly just reasons for what they are doing and why they are fighting but in the end shows how nothing will change with brute force and that it's up to the people to willingly decide to change the way things are without the threat or fear of oppression. The characters grow on you and you will weep as some are killed off through the series but that in itself is what makes a great series as you cheer, cry, and feel for the characters as they continue on in the show. The voice cast for both the Japanese and English actors were right on for their roles and kudos to both, the video is clear and sharp and the music is great both heart pacing and fast very addictive as you watch the battle scenes in the series. So I say for any mecha anime or sci-fi anime fan and for the price check out the series you'll most likely be very entertained, and for fans of the gundam series rejoice as the final set is finally out...."

Worth watching

"Gundam Seed Destiny, though received much harsh criticism from fans and reviewers alike isn't bad by any means. If you've watched the series from the beginning of Seed your in bound for more of everything good and bad the series has offered and delivered. The continued assaults between Zaft and the Earth forces will reach a satisfying conclusion but the story won't end there. New mobile suits arrive and change the course of the war. Kira and the Archangel crew will finally take the top stage as the line between right and wrong blur, heroes take the side of the wrong and enemies from before become welcome allies for the end. I won't spoil the story with detailed explanations though I do give a firm warning that the last episode has somewhat of a let down ending, just as it doesn't give a lot of closure. The movie Gundam Seed Destiny Final Plus is basically an extended version of the last episode with more action and story and is a much more satisfying ending. Overall if you've enjoyed the characters, gundams, battles, and triumphs that Seed has given you so far, you'll love this box set. If you've felt you've been dragged along for a boring ride that doesn't suit your tastes, perhaps the 4 Destiny movies would be better as they give the story without all the extra development and filler. Either way Seed Destiny is definately a true Gundam thrill."
