So this was the episode where they kinda recapped everything that has happened so far, but then le Klueze explains in much greater detail everything that's been going on. I just wanted to say that the issues the anime is dealing with is extremely current with all the genetic engineering controversy that's going on. The issue of war and racism is also tackled.

this one episode, although a recap, really made me think for a while about things after it was done. i think it's the best episode i've seen so far, and because of this ep, I've gained a much greater respect for this series. that's all i really wanted to say.

Same reason why I like Gundam SEED, my mom thought I just liked it for the fighting.

Recaps are usually a bother in most series, but this anime does a good job on all of the recaps.

This is the best part of SEED(and many other Gundam series). It's more about the story, not the fighting. I am not really a huge fan of mecha but I'm glad that I watched the entire Gundam series

Backstory, report by Athrun & Le Crusae, opinions etc. If you decided to start this anime with this episode, you probably won't be that much disappointed.

Very interesting backstory! Liked it despite all the recaps.

It was okay I guess, but I still hate recap episodes. Although I do love listening to Le Creuset's english voice. Man, that's some soothing voice acting.

Interesting episode despite being a summary, but it gives me a way to better understand the events that occurred so far.
This series becomes more engaging.

What the hell was wrong with that recap?! It spent 5 minutes telling us what we already know before half-assedly slapping together some exposition about the coordinators, without any emotional weight behind the exposition like what a competent series would do. Also, I frankly can't stand Flay manipulating Kira like that. Those kisses are NOT genuine, and Sai did NOT deserve to be dumped IN PUBLIC!! Damn, Flay's such a witch!

I actually hate it when they mix recaps with new material. When I'm plowing through a series I don't need the recap, but stuff like this forces me to watch it anyways! It was a well-done recap, I'll admit, but I'd have rather skipped it anyways...

Yeah, rub in salt in his wounds. Jesus! Flay is more than just obsessed. Her twisted smile while Kira had his ptsd breakdown spoke volumes lmao

He becomes her lapdog for some emotional comfort. That's really a fucked up game she's playing. In spite of what I wrote, I like Flay's character. She's spicing things up.

Not bad as recap episodes go, however one major part made me laugh at how dumb it was. Specifically that the original Coordinator decided to drop a bombshell on humanity while he was leaving the planet. It's just so...random. "Here's this random information that will cause utter chaos and divide humanity, thanks for listening bye!".

I'm so glad I did not drop this show. Seeing Flay have her Joker (2019) moment and decide to gaslight Kira so spectacularly actually sold me on everything. This is the moment where Gundam SEED stops being a cheap 079 copy and becomes a proper Gundam show. My opinion on this show has taken a 180. I now like and enjoy this show. Nothing goes together like a Gundam pilot and manipulation.

Now his journey really begins. I am watching his career with great interest.
