Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Freedom is officially the biggest, most profitable film for the anime franchise. Considering the fact that the mech franchise has been releasing television series and feature-length films for decades, this is no small feat. The film hit Japanese theaters in January of this year, receiving a limited release in the West shortly after. Luckily, if you missed the chance to see the box-office blockbuster, there’s some good news coming your way for this fall. It’s been revealed that Netflix will house Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Freedom and mech fans won’t have to wait much longer to see the movie on the platform.
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed first began as an anime adaptation in 2002, stepping away from the original universe that kicked off the franchise and instead focusing on a new timeline dubbed the “Cosmic Era”. Rather than simply focusing on a space battle between two human factions piloting the mechs, the series would present humanity with a challenge in the form of the “Coordinators”. Coordinators were introduced as genetically altered beings who took on a role similar to the Principality of Zeon, as they dwelled in outer space.
According to Netflix’s platform, Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Freedom is scheduled to arrive for subscribers on September 1st. In Japan, the film is already available on the streaming service and Amazon Prime. Following the September arrival, Netflix has a new original Gundam anime on the way with Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem For Vengeance which will arrive on October 17th.
