Mobile Suit Gundam Seed - Unexpected Meetings (Vol. 2)
AsGundam Seed(2002) continues, the war raging in 70 C.E. (Cosmic Era) becomes less a struggle between the political entities Earth Alliance and ZAFT than a conflict between the Naturals and the genetically enhanced Coordinators. A dedicated ZAFT officer in the tradition of theGundam Wingpilots, Athrun Zala believes in a warrior's code of honor; reluctant soldier Kira Yamoto cares more about protecting his friends aboard the Earth Alliance ship Archangel than about a space-age version ofbushido. Kira rescues Athrun's fiancée Lacus Clyne, the daughter of the ZAFT Supreme Council Chairman, who becomes a hostage and a pawn in the conflict. When Kira returns Lacus to Athrun, he alienates the personnel of the Archangel, confirming their doubts and prejudices about Coordinators. These interlocking conflicts embody the elements that have fueled the popularity of the variousGundamseries since 1979. (Rated  13 and older: violence, minor profanity)--Charles Solomon
