For those unfamiliar with Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, the franchise began under director Mitsuo Fukuda decades ago. As the IP’s ninth installment, Seed is set in the Cosmic Era after mankind has been divided into two sects. You have the Naturals, humans who reside on Earth, as well as Coordinators. The latter group are genetically enhanced humans who have found a home in space due to the persecution they face from Naturals. So as the series begins, we’re met with Kira, a young Coordinator, who is thrust into a war between mankind’s factions.
