Freedom is the name of the Mobile Suit in anime Gundam Seed, piloted by Kira Yamato. If you haven't heard about any of the names above or you are not interested in gundam or robots in general, you may take your leave. The button "last page" is on the upper left corner.
However, if you are still interested in any way, let me show you why I like this one in particular. (I hope you guys don't think I'm a geek...well, so what if I'm a geek lol~)
A little background:
Gundam SEED is an anime series that was aired in Japan in 2002. Being one of the Gundam series, many gundam fans have high expectation for it. I will not criticize or even mention the story here, however. This model is the second mobile suit for the main character.
A little data that probably no one would care:
Model: ZGMF-X10A
Height: 18.03 m
Weight: 71.5 metric tons
Power plant: Ultracompact nuclear fission reactor, power output rate @8826 kW
Equipments: Beam Sword, Shield, Plasma Assault Gun, Plasma Cannon *4, Nuclear Jammer Canceler, Phase Shift Armor
i like this model because of the design the use of color. First I just love the combination of white, blue, and red (but i'm not patriotic XDDDDD). With the black, the entire body looks even cooler. It adds a little......metallic feeling to it.
As of the design, it looks very smooth to me, especially the chest part. The entire model doesn't have any unnecessary part or flawed designs. It is simple but high-class. The wings in the back also make it look even better.
In the anime, this model is the ultimate mobile suit. Being a hero unit, of course it has to be cool and strong. Under the control of the main character, this unit, like its name, is flying freely in the sky and not many opponents can damage it. It, however, almost got destroyed at the last battle and actually got killed in the sequel, Gundam Seed Destiny. Still, the awesomeness remains in my heart and I personally think it's the best unit in the entire C.E. era (SEED, SEED Destiny, Astray, etc)
because this seires made so much money when it was on air, the staff decided to make a sequel of the story, Gundam SEED Destiny. The story is crappy, the characters' changes don't make any sense, and the ending is WTF. For those who are interested in watching this series (SEED), please don't watch the sequel because you will hate it.
Another note: As I mentioned earlier, Freedom got destroyed in the sequel, and, because they want to make more money, they came up with Freedom's predecessor, ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom. The design follows the basic design of Freedom, but somehow they made it butt ugly, especially the cannon on the abs......
(and what's with the golden hands? shining fingers?)
Strike FreedomFunny thing: I remember I used to write a review for every single episode for this series. Now when I look back I find my comments really funny. Things like "this guy should totally kiss her already" or "this girl is a b***h" are everywhere. Oh I miss those days....XDDDDDD
p.s. some data from wikipedia, our best friend :D
