Our Review
The Gundam series that pulled a whole new generation into the franchise. Kira Yamato, a student coordinator with hidden genius, is dragged into war when his neutral colony is attacked, forced to pilot the Strike against his childhood friend Athrun Zala on the other side. It is the original 1979 Gundam story retold with modern animation and a laser focus on the cost of war between friends.
Fifty episodes that balance giant robot battles with politics, refugees, and a body count that earns its reputation. The mobile suit designs became instant classics and the SEED line ran for a decade off the back of this show.
Watch it, then go straight into Destiny. This is gateway Gundam, the one that turns casual viewers into fans of the whole timeline.
