As I've said, I really liked SEED. It was a nice reimagining of the
original Gundam storyline, and Kreuze was a wonderful villain (made
all the more compelling by the fact that he was in a unique position
to judge the ultimate worth of humanity). I just think it should have
stopped there, as Destiny didn't really do anything to advance the
storyline.
Kreuze was one incredible character - I couldn't really define him
properly as a villain through and through, since he was a disturbing
mirror for all of humanity to look at. I found him more interesting, in
fact, than Kira.
My take on Destiny is that it was an interesting attempt to show how
things do not stop at "happily ever after", and actually reminds me of
Treize's concept of the Endless Waltz. However, some of the characters
developed in ways that had so much potential, but were underutilized.
Kira, for example, I found to be interesting at some points because of
the possibility that he was crossing certain lines at some points, even
with his supposed "no kill" policy; I found much in his personality to
be similar to Durandal, to be honest. But then, he developed into an
ultimate solution, and that sucked out a lot of the potential for
development in the character.
