I forgot

How much I love Gundam SEED. So instead of venturing out for a new anime I decided to finish watching this one because it has been years since I have seen it. I will go ahead and give my synopsis on it for those who have not seen it before. You are never too old or too young to watch Gundam SEED. The story follows two young boy's paths through a war between the Naturals (normal human beings) and the Coordinators (people who have their genes altered before birth to give them special learning capabilities). The war starts as a result of hatred and jealousy of the Naturals towards the Coordinators. It then escalated when the Naturals use a nuclear weapon on one of the agricultural plants home to many Coordinators. We start with the story of Kira Yamato who is a young, intelligent Coordinator that lives in neutral territory. That territory is invaded by Coordinator military forces (ZAFT) to retrieve mobile suits that the earth forces developed. One of the main team members from the team that invades the neutral country happens to be Kira's best friend Athrun Zala. This anime follows the hardships and emotional bearings of war especially on the younger populations who volunteer to fight. Kira fights to protect his friends aboard the earth forces ship the Archangel even though he despises any kind of fighting. Friendships and romance stirs within the bowels of this anime which give it a nice relief from all of the action. I will not give away the ending partly because you should watch it for yourself and partly because I have forgotten what happened. Though I remember now even if this is a highly emotional and fighting anime I truly enjoyed it and can call it one of my favorites. 


Oh and I am officially done with summer classes (finally) although I am sad that I will not be able to see some friends I met in my classes as often anymore. Now it is time to pack and study for the GRE. Senior year here I come! ^_^
