GSD Final Plus
5 Jan 2006 04:22 pmGeh, finally finished watching that thing =__=|||
It's basically a revised bulkier edition of episode 50. The action sequences are longer and probably better (apparently they've removed the mistake of Freedom appearing in the place of Strike Freedom, not that I could even tell). There were more damage received by the "good side" but no additional casualties.
I'm not sure if it's the sound encoding by that particular fansub group (Hiro, as opposed to Seed-Fansubs, which didn't release it) or if the guys were completely out-of-whack due to their other jobs, but the guys' voices sounded high-pitched, particularly Kira's voice (Hoshi-san, just because Alviss has a lower voice doesn't mean you have to accentuate the difference by doing Kira castrato...).
Somehow Shinn's vision of Stellar didn't bother me as much as it did originally, and I'm not sure if it's just the ingeniousness of the translation or if they've shortened the meeting...or something else.
They're added Athrun in that final confrontation between Gil, Talia, Rey and Kira. His presence was, of course, completely redundant except to make the line "Gladys-kanchou" logically justifiable (i.e. Kira shouldn't know her name, nor really even care about her). A nice tentative pause from Kira and Athrun in front of Rey, which fits better with their characters than the original version of Kira just running out without a glance. Interesting also to note that Athrun was following Kira's lead.
The order of events have been shifted a little, which ultimately works better, though Shinn is still seriously nerfed.
The ending was the long-awaited meeting between Kira and Shinn, and it turned out to be intolerably brief and melodramatic after all.
The cutest line of all must be Kira's, "Etto....meirei desu" ("umm....it's an order" - when he tried to tell Athrun and Archangel to go for Requiem while he and Eternal head for Messiah) XDD
Glad to see the old Kira pop up every now and then ^^
