Status: Complete (51 episodes, Destiny 50 episodes)
Premise: Humanity is now able to play with DNA to an extent were individual characteristics can be modified to create the perfect offspring, these "Coordinators" are superior physically and mentally to normal humans and excel beyond normal human limitation. Discrimination against these coordinators begins to turn violent and many decide to create a new home and turn to space creating enormous space colonies were they will be accepted for who they are. Eventually naming themselves as independent from earth the resentment towards those who forced them to leave grows and results in a war between the two groups, where the coordinators use their superior abilities along with latest weapons the mobile suits (mecha) to give themselves a distinct edge.
Thoughts: Probably the epitome of the mecha genre this anime uses great plot with a well established time line in order to deliver a truly engrossing experience. The difference about this anime is that this is a real physics environment using machines that can break and fall apart not giant machines that work because they say so. This is the mecha which all others are compared to.
Prose: Engrossing story, rich world, interesting characters, strong action. This anime is a real masterpiece.
Cons: This is a hardcore mecha storyline so critics of the genre will be disinclined to watch it (though this would be the one to change their mind if they did).
-Notes: Fully dubbed. Second season was a little bit weaker than the first but still a great watch.
9/10 (Choosing a side to root for has never been harder)
