Well I like Seed a lot, and I am not bothered at all by these changes. Are they unnecessary? Sure. But really this Remaster has actually done enough things right that I don't mind. Some new animation, thus far no real BIG stock footage use, a good incorporation of some new scenes from the Special edition/for this project, a great fusion between episode 14 and 15 from the original, cleaning up some mistakes in animation, ect.
Really the only big down sides are the new fanservice of Flay (which really shouldn't make you hate the remaster, "oh no, fan-service...and it is on flay....oh no, this project sucks" is poor rational in my opinion), times where it is VERY clear what is remastered and what isn't (not as bad as Zeta Gundam's new translation...of course, I don't view those movies as a sin-against-Zeta-Gundam like most fans do.), and honestly...the biggest problem and really the only one that really matters...is the cropping out of the surrounding frames of animation. It is kind of annoying and you do lose some things by doing that.
But this remaster project is fun, it allows you to revisit Seed again, and it reminded me what a good series Seed was, with some really good, defined characters, and descent drama...in other words, not a bad Space Opera.
I guess what I am saying Dark Duel is that you should give the show another chance...unless, of course, you never liked Seed in the first place.
On a side note, I believe it is episode 15...but the Remastered has made it BLATANTLY clear that Flay and Kira did it...we had a whole flash back and everything. I was shocked, I didn't think they were going to put that scene in from the Special Edition movies.
For 2000 years I lay dormant, now I have returned to bring good cheer to you all once again!
