Gundam SEED is really just a tide of gundams. Like, whatever you think about the show’s quality, you can’t deny that it just introduces so, so many new gundams, significantly more than previous shows. And they can’t all be winners, especially when you have legendary designer Kunio Okawara chained to his desk as he begs to be allowed to go home. No, Okawara. No. The episode comes out in three days, we need you to design five more gundams. Of course we don’t care if they’re any good, just get it done.
The Raider is not his best work.
