Gundam SEED/GS Destiny

[Major Blood]

So, i've just finished watching the entire Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny serieses. I personally thought they were the best ones out of all the Gundam serieses. The action throughout the whole run was done very well. The non battle sequences were captivating enough to keep me drawn in. As for gripes...

Gundam SEED:
-Too many recap episodes.
-The ending left me thinking "So what now? Is that the end?"

Gundam SEED Destiny:
-Like GS, too many recap episodes. They're just plain annoying.
-The ending of the series was pretty much the same thing as the first one. They busted in and stopped the big cannon from destroying an entire country on earth, and the chairman of PLANT gets shot. They really could have come up with something better than that.
-So what happened to Shinn and Lunamaria? Did everyone leave them there on the moon surface to rot and die? No, seriously, what happened to them?

Those gripes aside, I still think GS and GSD are the best gundam serieses out there. For those of you who have seen them, what did you think of them?
