Should I just go through the recap movies with them? Some youtube recap? watch the movie blindly anyway? help me make this movie not suck ass for them anon';
'Friends wouldn't make their friends watch Seed or Destiny.';
'>>22596927
that's one vote for a blind watch lol';
'Watch Seed Destiny on Gundaminfo';
'>>22596927
I'm not sure I'd want to watch seed in front of other people anyways. I mean I'm not really embarrassed of my hobbies, I'm very open about liking anime but ... still ya know right? It's like somethings are better enjoyed quietly.';
'>>22596882
Where do you live? Depending on when SEED Freedom comes to your theaters, you can binge SEED and SEED Destiny. You can binge 6-8 episodes of each on one day.';
'>>22596950
West coast US. Movie premiers in about 3 weeks. I can personally binge the movies but my group only gets together twice a week lol';
'>>22596933
Just skip the original seed and jump right into Destiny?';
'>>22596956
Then binge on your own.';
'>>22596882
Watch the compilation movies.
The seed ones are mediocre, but the seed destiny ones are actually pretty damn good
There's three movies for SEED (282 minutes in total), and four movies for Destiny (368 minutes in total)
So it be around 650 minutes in total, around 10 hours. It's big, but not as big as watching the entire show (In lengh it's around the duration of 40 episodes, which is less than the duration of the original SEED show)';
'>>22596962
That's one vote for the movies. Thank you for putting the runtime into perspective as well.';
'>>22596958
You wanted to suffer, didn't you?';
'>>22596882
Before the 31st, all of Destiny is on Gundaminfo's YouTube channel. SEED's there too.';
'>>22596882
Read the SEED manga and skip Destiny.';
'>>22596882
Watch the first 14 episodes of SEED, then episodes 17-19, then 23-25, then 27- 40.
Now you can watch Gundam SEED compilation movie III "The Rumbling Sky" and move onto Destiny.
for Destiny I recommend the first 6 episdoes, Stargazer, then you can resume watching up to episode 13, then switch to the compilation films.';

>help me make this movie not suck ass
Such a thing is not possible.';

Does this skip like needless filler or something? Sounds like you just cut half the anime';
'>>22597815
I cut more like 1/4th of the episodes, in SEED's case. It's less that there's filler, but that I just focused on the big moments of the series.
It's needed, but if you pay attention you can probably just infer what was cut out.';
'>>22597815
The first couple of episodes he tells you to skip revolve around a character that is more or less like a Ramba Ral analog in that it's an experienced enemy commander who presents the first major challenge for the main character to personally overcome. Main character feels guilt about having to kill him after getting to know him somewhat. They aren't terrible episodes, but the story arc does kinda drag on a bit long. Then he tells you to skip episode 26 which is a worthless recap episode full of flashback clips.';

>>22597867
Alright. This seems like a good compromise I can work with my group. Thank you everyone';
'>>22596882
I already got my tickets. It was already have fulled when i ordered mine.';
'>>22596882
Just watch the Seed recap movies. They only like 60 to 90 minutes each.
If your friend likes them, then he can go back and watch the full series';
'>>22596940
Yeah, I spent enough money on Gundam SEED already, I wanna spend it on something more worthwhile, like voice acting, or photography.';
'>>22596956
Download the 7 resume parts its on BD at 1080p';
'>>22598602
That'd take 16 hours on a laptop.';
'>>22598726
In this day and age? Oof!';

Kill yourself, Duel.';
