Same. I hate pretty much everything about SEED Destiny except the mech designs and Heine. :I
why?
I enjoyed it a bit.
Because it had loads of potential to be an interesting addition to the Cosmic Era timeline at the start, but they decided to say "*** that" and just brought back the old characters and had them be the heroes again. The writing starts out decent, but rapidly slides down the slope to fanfic-tier . :<
Not to mention the retconning of a certain death just to put him in as the villain for seemingly no reason at all. He was my favourite character from Seed, and even though I hated that he died, it was fitting. Bringing him back the way they did rustled my jimmies beyond belief. "Oh, no. He didn't die, he somehow survived his Mobile Suit being vaporised while he was still in it and losing his helmet in the vacuum of space long enough for the enemy to find him and brainwash him." :I
Oh, and don't get me started on blowing a significant portion of the budget on the soundtrack (which I found somewhat lacking for a Gundam show) and having more characters voiced by J-pop singers. More of the budget should've been spent on the animation; the amount of reused scenes borders on Wing levels of bad.
As much as I hate Shinn, he is a good character; he just happens to be an unlikeable douche in my eyes. Most of that is due to Rey's influence, though. So I guess I hate him in a different way to how I hate the rest of the series. :x
