Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM

I loved the Mobile Suit Gundam Anime as a kid. This is one of those properties that made me fall in love with Anime in general. Now to be far, I haven't watched any episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Series, so I am new to this version of Mobile Suit Gundam, but that didn't stop me from watching this movie. I just finished watching this movie and I loved it. And honestly, I'm surprised by how good this movie, especially given its production history.

Positives for Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom (2024): I loved the story and journey that this movie goes on with these characters. You can tell that there was a lot of care given to this movie and I can honestly say that Chiaki Morosawa would be proud of this movie and what it does for fans of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. As with any anime, the animation looks gorgeous and the score was phenomenal. The action sequences in this movie are among some of the best action sequences I've seen in any anime. The themes this movie explore are very deep and emotional throughout the runtime and it makes the whole experience all the more grander and powerful. And finally, I moved the way that this movie ends and it made me so happy to the point where I was on the verge of happy tears.

Overall, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom (2024) is a phenomenal anime movie in general, but it is also a phenomenal love letter to the die hard fans of this series and I love the movie all the more for those reasons.

This movie accomplishes so much in a two hour time-run, and has at no-point been unengaging. It does so much justice with the story left off from the end of SEED Destiny, by building up on what has already been established, as opposed to creating something completely different. Moreover, it explores the horrors that comes with segregating people based on genetics and skills, and the consequences it has on human and societal development.

As such, all the characters are written perfectly; even reamending characters that were previously despised in the last series to the point they are now beloved (Shinn Asuka). Both the music and animation is truly to be commended for as well, with iconic songs also being brought back in greater appreciation of the two preceding series. In addition to this, there are many great and comedic moments in the film that keeps the audience entertained throughout the whole run.

Everyone should take the opportunity to watch this amazing anime film in cinema, as its focus is so much more than just mecha action!

The premise is the same as both Seed and Destiny. So and so believes they can control the world and they want to nuke everyone.

Main character spread was great but the constantly bad English dub actors with little to no emotion at times. Not to mention the obvious same voice actor for multiple characters with no breaks between characters speaking was a let down from the beginning.

Will never get over everyone calling Lacus a Caboose, Err, Sorry Lacoooose. And the voice actor sounded like a mouth breather and nowhere near Lacus's original voice. It was killing the vibe within minutes.

Watch the original version with subtitles and save yourself the heartache of your favourite characters being butchered.

Hopefully AI can some day fix this video with proper voice actors.

Simply put this is gundam at its best. You may not like Gundam Seed but it's a fact that it is one of the best and most beloved Gundam series. It saved gundam back in the 2000s and is giving it a resurgence again so the vocal minority may not like it but you dam well better respect it for its significance. But thats what makes gundam great is we have something for everyone. Seed was awesome and Destiny was obviously a rushed mess but the remaster does do a good job of cleaning it up. This movie is for the fans and gives this series the high note it deserved to end on if this truly is the end of it. Give it a watch. It's a lot of fun.

I thought the movie was very good, it has dramatic, exciting and other fun scenes.

In general, I thought the story was good, for example it gives more meaning to the genetic experiments and makes some characters question their lives more. I also liked several of the new characters, such as Agnes.

I also liked seeing scenes from this saga with new animation since the 2002 and 2004 series seem a little old in that regard.

I think that as a fan of Seed I was satisfied and I liked the ending, I thought it was quite beautiful.

Anyway, I really missed seeing my favorite Gundam characters and mechas.
