As announced earlier this month, a prequel to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM is in the works. Titled Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO, the new anime project will bridge the gap between the film and the preceding Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Today, we get our first look at the latest addition to the long-running story.
Check out the 30-second trailer, giving us our first taste of what happens between these two entries in the franchise:
The script was written by Gundam SEED series writer Chiaki Morosawa and series director Mitsuo Fukuda during the planning stages of Gundam SEED FREEDOM. More information, including release dates and potential returning cast, will be announced at a later date.
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed premiered in 2002 and has received several follow-up installments—including manga and novel spinoffs and adaptations, 2004’s Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, and the Mobile Suit GUNDAM SEED FREEDOM film.The official website for Mobile Suit GUNDAM SEED FREEDOM describes the movie:
In C.E.75, the fighting still continues.
There are independence movements, and aggression by Blue Cosmos…
In order to calm the situation, a global peace monitoring agency called COMPASS is established, with Lacus as its first president.
As members of COMPASS, Kira and his comrades intervene into various regional battles.
Then a newly established nation called Foundation proposes a joint operation against a Blue Cosmos stronghold.
