After all, Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Freedom has been in the works for a long time. The project dates back to 2006, but it was indefinitely postponed after writer Chiaki Morosawa became ill. In 2016, Morosawa passed away, and the film resumed production a few years later. Now, Bandai Namco Filmworks is ready to revive the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed series, and it has been a long time coming.

If you are not familiar with the original anime, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed is the IP's ninth installment. The show can be binged on Crunchyroll right now, so for more info on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, you can read its official synopsis below:
