[GSD] Shin looks too much like Kira.....
I am having difficulty telling those two people apart. While seeing the opening and ending, I could hardly identify who is who.
I know that the hair color is the easilest way to identify them, but even that is difficult to see sometimes. Is anyone else having this problem? |

I can see time itself!

Alright, I don't mean to be disrespectful but even I who have problems with my eyesight can tell them apart really easily. They DO look alike, yes, but not so much alike that it is difficult to tell them apart unless you have a really bad memory or something like that. I NEVER thought that Shinn was Kira in any of the promos or anything like that - I instantly thought to myself "that's not Kira".
And the hair colour is certainly not the easiest way - the eye colour is. |

That way whichever character is the one I want to slam a pick-axe into I know it's Kira. |

Well, is there really that much of a difference between Kenichi Suzumura's crying and Souichiro Hoshi's crying? I suppose I like Suzumura's a bit more...
But what I can't stand is Tetsu Shiratori's crying :x (Kouji in Infinite Ryvius. He voiced Sai in SEED) In some ways I mistake Kira and Shin... but would you believe that I mixed up SHin and Athrun in the OP? I seriously was going "WTF are Athrun and Cagalli doing naked?!?"... >_> I maintain that Shin looks like a lovechild of Kira and Athrun... just the difference in eye colour. I think we'll get used to seeing the difference between Kira and Shin though. I almost said "differentiating". What about integrating?

And yea, Athrun+Kira=Shin. I swear it's like Hisashi Hirai has one of those flip-book sketch-artist things like the police have with different hair-styles, faces, noses, mouth, etc... and he just flips thru it to create a new character from like a dozen different variety of parts. |

Of course there's the thing that if it wasn't Hirai's choice to have so many lookalikes in Destiny, then why does Kazuki from Soukyuu no Fafner look fairly similar to Kira/Shin and, more obviously, Maya from the same show look so similar to Miriallia. But then again, Soushi doesn't look like anyone else so far. I should go listen to Akira Ishida's crying. I don't even remember what it sounded like but I remember I didn't mind it as much as Souichirou Hoshi's. EDIT: Of course there's the thing about face shape, but there's been bajillions of anime where the face shape is largely similar. It's much easier to draw, trust me... Also, it's not like Hisashi Hirai can't come up with other face shapes, a number of older, secondary characters in anime he's worked on don't have the same face shape. Now if you want my personal opinion, character designs I don't like would be the ones from Mari-mite. Arrrgh.

They are totally different. I don't get why people can't tell if the character in the mid-ep interlude is Kira or Shin (When Lacus throws him the Haro). Shin's hair is black, more wavy and messy and has a few parts sticking upwards and his eyes are red. Kira's hair is brown, and is totally straight and clean and every strand goes downwards. But even though Kira's face looks the same from SEED, I can see that his design is somewhat more mature (along with many of the old characters) than Shin, who looks a little more childish.

I 100% agree with the poster. They look to much alike unless like someone above said, their may be a reason they look alike but i doubt it. cagalli and that new blonde girl also look too much alike in my opinion. Inuyasha's character facial features were a lot alike but you could easily differentiate between the characters. In gs:d it's getting a little cluttered with many look alikes.

I Also have alot of Trouble telling the diffrence between Shinn and Kira, Especiallly in the OP it get confusing sometimes. Also am I the only one that has problems telling the diffrence between Cagalli and the New Blonde GUNDAM Pillot in the OP, I have no problem durring the show becuase they wear diffrent cloths and act alot diffrent but in the op it can be confusing. Like Im Not sure if its Kira or Shinn but they are like Naked together and at first I thought it was Cagalli and Kira...but that just be wierd.

Shinn does look like Kira, but you quickly figure out the difference due to A) the hair color and form, b) because Shinn is not whining all the time. |
