I really dont like watching any of Gundam versions but when i started watching Gundam SEED and make to a point to also watch the following genre. Kira was so great and captivating. I almost see myself with him. He resembles a lot about me so probably that's why i easily relate with the character.
My friend and I would call ourselves like Kira and Athrun because we have been friends since childhood. Try watching it! You sure to love it! Its not the usual fight scenes and all and that. It would really teach you the value of friendship and the importance of fighting what you believe in.
...actually, kira yamato is one of my favorite anime characters.......... he is always ready to help and
protect people, especially those who are important to him.. also, together with lacus, he is fighting
for peace and freedom...
