Directed by Mitsuo Fukuda (who also wrote the script alongside Chiaka Morosawa and Liu Goto) for Bandai Namco Filmworks with Hisashi Hirai designing the characters, and Toshihiko Sashashi composing the music.

They tease Mobile Suit Gundam Seed as such, "In Cosmic Era (C.E.) 70... The tensions mounted between the Earth Alliance and theZAFT Forces caused by the 'Bloody Valentine' tragedy have erupted into an all-out war. The Earth Alliance's mobile armor forces and tanks launch...mobile suits are destroyed one after another...It seemed a foregone conclusion that the Earth Alliance, with its superior numbers, would be victorious. But this initial assessment proved to be false. Almost 11 months have passed since the conflict began, with no end in sight..."
